Why do accidents happen? - Answer Accidents happen because of interruptions in traffic flow.
As soon as you are experiencing a problem, what three steps should you follow to reduce the risk of an
accident? - Answer The first order of business is to warn other drivers that a problem is being
experienced. The best way to do that is by using the emergency flashers. The next order of business is to
get out of the main stream of traffic as quickly as is safely possible. Once off the road, leave the
emergency flashers on and place flares or reflective triangles at least 100 feet behind the vehicle for city
traffic, and as much as 200-300 feet for expressways.
What is the difference between warning lights and gauges? - Answer Warning lights are sometimes
called "idiot lights," because by the time the light illuminates on the dash, the problem is often too
severe to quickly rectify. A gauge is usually a meter with a needle or digital readout of the current status
of a system, such as the electric or cooling system.
What should you do if you experience a tire blowout? - Answer If a blowout occurs, grip the steering
wheel firmly and STAY OFF THE BRAKE. Braking will put the car into a skid.
What should you do if your vehicle experiences brake failure? - Answer Immediately, pump the brakes
rapidly several times. This will usually build up enough pressure to slow or stop your vehicle. If this does
not work, quickly shift to a lower gear and apply the parking brake.
In the event that your accelerator becomes stuck what should you try to do before turning off the
engine? - Answer The power must be immediately shut down, or you risk destroying the engine.
When the accelerator is stuck and you must shut off your engine, what could happen if you turn the key
too far? - Answer If the engine must be shut down while the car is moving, be careful not to turn the
key so far as to lock the steering wheel.
If you experience engine failure what steps can be taken to regain power? - Answer If it starts, power
steering and braking should return almost instantly. If it won't start, try to get off the road as quickly as
possible.
, How are brakes the most effective? - Answer Though steering out of the path of a collision is the
preferred action, there may be times when it will not be possible to steer out of trouble. In these cases,
there's only one option -- stop in time to avoid a collision.
In the event of a bee sting or similar unexpected occurrences, what are the safest, most appropriate
steps to take? - Answer The best time to deal with this emergency is while the car is stopped, not while
it's moving.
Explain what "over-driving the headlights" is and provide an example. - Answer In areas where street
lighting is poor or non-existent, illumination will not extend beyond your headlights. For example, when
driving at night, let's say that headlights will allow a driver to see clearly 250 feet ahead. At 50 mph, an
object in the roadway would be illuminated with enough distance still remaining to avoid striking it.
However, at 65 mph, 260 feet is needed to stop. This would be over 10 feet beyond visible range. At that
speed, it would be nearly impossible to stop in time to avoid a collision.
What should you do if a car in oncoming traffic does not turn off his high beams and they are within 200
feet of your vehicle? - Answer This will result in two drivers who cannot see the roadway.
Why is it important to use headlights at dusk - even if you do not think you need them to see? - Answer
Headlights are not only necessary to help illuminate your own path, but are also imperative to help other
drivers see your vehicle and react in a timely manner.
When are high beams not appropriate? - Answer Sometimes, however, high beams will not improve
your visibility. In fact, it will do the opposite. This happens in fog, heavy rain, and snow. In these
situations, the light from your high beams will reflect back from the fog/rain/snow and cause glare. The
glare will make it more difficult to see ahead.
How can you protect yourself against the blindness that accompanies looking at oncoming high beams? -
Answer When others do not switch to low beam, try looking at the right edge of the roadway. This will
allow you to see the road markings or reflectors along the edge of the roadway. Using these markings as
a guide will help keep the car safely on the right side of the roadway.
In rain and fog, should you drive with high beams or low beams? - Answer In rain and fog, drivers
should use their low beams lights.
