Temps Test Problem Solving 2

Question 1

Your brakes feel spongy when you press the pedal. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Have the brake system inspected immediately before driving further

Answer

Spongy brakes indicate air in the brake lines or a fluid leak, which requires immediate professional inspection.

Question 2

You are driving on a two-lane road and a vehicle ahead is moving very slowly. There is a no-passing zone ahead. What is the best action?

Accepted Answer

Follow at a safe distance and wait for a legal passing zone

Answer

You must wait for a legal passing zone rather than attempt a risky pass before or inside a no-passing zone.

Question 3

A tire blows out at highway speed. What is the safest immediate response?

Accepted Answer

Grip the wheel firmly, ease off the gas, and steer straight

Answer

Hard braking during a blowout can cause a spin; instead, maintain steering control and let the vehicle slow gradually.

Question 4

You miss your highway exit. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Continue to the next exit and use it to turn around

Answer

Backing up on a highway or crossing the median is extremely dangerous; proceed to the next exit instead.

Question 5

Your accelerator pedal sticks while you are driving. What should you do first?

Accepted Answer

Firmly apply the brakes and shift into neutral

Answer

Shifting to neutral prevents the engine from driving the wheels while firm braking brings the vehicle to a stop.
