Manitoba Class 5 Learner's Driving Test Highway and Expressway Driving 2

Question 1

On a Manitoba highway, what should you do if you experience a tire blowout?

Accepted Answer

Grip the steering wheel firmly, ease off the accelerator, and gradually steer to the shoulder without braking suddenly

Answer

During a tire blowout, you should hold the steering wheel firmly, take your foot off the accelerator, and let the vehicle slow gradually. Do not brake suddenly as this can cause a loss of control. Carefully steer to the shoulder.

Question 2

What is the danger of driving in the blind spot of a large truck on a Manitoba highway?

Accepted Answer

The truck driver cannot see you, which increases the risk of a lane-change collision

Answer

Large trucks have significant blind spots on all four sides — especially on the right side and directly behind. If you cannot see the truck driver's mirrors, they likely cannot see you. Pass trucks quickly and avoid lingering alongside them.

Question 3

On a Manitoba highway, what should you do if you see an animal on or near the road?

Accepted Answer

Slow down, scan for more animals, and be prepared to stop

Answer

When you see wildlife near a Manitoba highway, slow down and be alert for additional animals — deer and moose often travel in groups. Do not swerve sharply, as this can cause a rollover or collision with other vehicles.

Question 4

What is 'highway hypnosis' and how can you prevent it on long Manitoba highway drives?

Accepted Answer

A drowsy, trance-like state from long monotonous driving — prevent it by taking breaks, varying speed, and staying mentally engaged

Answer

Highway hypnosis is a dangerous condition where monotonous driving leads to reduced awareness. Prevent it by taking regular breaks (every 2 hours), varying your speed slightly, opening a window, and staying mentally engaged.

Question 5

On a Manitoba highway, how should you pass a slower vehicle safely?

Accepted Answer

Signal, check mirrors and blind spots, move to the left lane, pass, then signal and return to the right lane when you can see the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror

Answer

Safe passing requires signalling your intention, checking mirrors and blind spots, moving to the passing lane, completing the pass, then signalling and returning to the right lane when you can see the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.
