Temps Test Problem Solving 4

Question 1

You are driving at night and an oncoming vehicle has its high beams on, blinding you. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Look toward the right edge of the road and slow down

Answer

Looking toward the right edge line prevents the glare from blinding you while allowing you to maintain your lane.

Question 2

Your hood flies up and blocks your view while driving. What should you do immediately?

Accepted Answer

Look through the gap at the bottom of the hood, slow down, and pull over

Answer

Looking through the small gap at the bottom while gradually slowing and moving off the road prevents a rear-end collision.

Question 3

You are about to be hit from behind while stopped at a light. What should you do to reduce injury?

Accepted Answer

Brace yourself by pressing your back against the seat and headrest

Answer

Pressing your back and head firmly against the seat and headrest reduces the whiplash effect of a rear-end collision.

Question 4

You are driving on a freeway and a piece of debris falls off the truck in front of you. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Check mirrors, signal, and change lanes smoothly if safe, or slow down

Answer

Checking mirrors before any evasive action prevents collisions with vehicles beside you while avoiding the debris.

Question 5

You are driving downhill on a steep grade and your brakes start to fade. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Shift to a lower gear to use engine braking and look for a runaway ramp

Answer

Downshifting uses the engine as a brake, and runaway truck ramps are designed for exactly this emergency.
