Driving Behavior Test

As you approach a bridge, especially one with limited visibility, consider using your horn to alert other drivers of your presence. This is particularly useful on narrow or humpback bridges where oncoming vehicles may not be visible until the last moment. Always approach bridges with caution, especially narrow or blind ones. Using your horn can help prevent collisions and ensure a safer crossing.

Before starting your engine, your seat should be adjusted for height to ensure proper visibility of the road, mirrors, and dashboard. This also helps you reach the pedals comfortably and maintain a safe driving posture.

To correct a rear-wheel skid, you should steer in the same direction as the skid (steer into it). This helps you regain control by aligning the wheels with the direction of travel. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, as this can make the skid worse.

On a wet road, applying your brakes gently helps avoid skidding, which can occur when the tires lose grip on the slippery surface. Sudden or harsh braking can cause the wheels to lock, leading to a loss of control. By braking gently, you maintain better control of the vehicle and reduce the risk of skidding.

When approaching a parked vehicle with a driver seated inside, always be mindful that the door may be opened suddenly. This could obstruct your path or cause a collision, especially if you're driving too close to the parked vehicle.

Before moving off, a driver must check their surroundings, look into the mirrors, and signal their intentions. This ensures awareness of other vehicles, pedestrians, and any potential hazards, improving safety for everyone on the road.

Shoes with high heels are not accepted for driving because they can make it difficult to control the pedals properly, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions.

When crossing traffic, it’s important to cross with care. This means you should ensure it’s safe to do so, check for oncoming traffic, and cross only when it is clear. Always make sure you have enough space and time to safely maneuver, rather than rushing or crossing immediately.

To prevent feeling sleepy while driving long distances, stopping and walking around is the best solution. Taking breaks, stretching, and getting some fresh air can help you stay alert. Relying on coffee or speeding may not be effective in the long term and can be dangerous. Always prioritize safety by getting rest when needed.

When descending a hill, waving is not necessary and should not be done excessively. What’s important is to brake carefully, observe traffic around you, and slow down to maintain control of your vehicle. Braking too hard or too often can overheat your brakes, while failing to observe traffic can lead to unsafe driving conditions.

To ensure safety on the road, you should allow other vehicles to overtake when they want to, as long as it is safe. Blocking or preventing overtaking can lead to frustration and risky maneuvers. However, never wave other vehicles to overtake, as it might mislead drivers about road conditions. Always focus on safe and legal driving practices.

At an intersection controlled by traffic lights, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing at designated pedestrian crossings, even if the traffic light turns green for vehicles. Always yield to pedestrians to ensure their safety.

"Watch carefully for the sudden appearance of pedestrians."

When a bus is stopped at a bus stop, pedestrians may suddenly step into the road, especially passengers getting off the bus. You should reduce your speed, be extra cautious, and be prepared to stop if necessary to avoid accidents.

Alcohol affects the central nervous system and impairs various functions, including coordination, judgment, and reaction time. When you consume alcohol, it slows your reaction time, making it harder to respond quickly to sudden situations on the road. This can be dangerous for both the driver and others. It does not directly affect your vehicle or brakes, nor does it increase alertness.

You should pull into a passing space on your right because it's safer and more common to give way to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction. This helps avoid the need for both vehicles to reverse.

To be sure of the driver's true intention, watching the front wheels is the best approach. Signal lights can be left on accidentally, and brake lights only show slowing down, not necessarily turning. The movement of the front wheels gives the clearest indication of where the vehicle is actually going.

When approaching a zebra crossing, if pedestrians are waiting to cross, you should slow down and be prepared to stop to allow them to cross safely. You must give way to all pedestrians, not just the elderly or infirm, and never wave them across or use your headlights to signal them. Always prioritize pedestrian safety at crossings.

When you notice a ball bouncing into the road ahead, it’s likely that children are nearby and may run after it. Slowing down and being prepared to stop allows you to react quickly and safely if children unexpectedly run into the road.

You should keep well back when following a large vehicle because it allows the driver to see you in his mirrors. Large vehicles have significant blind spots, especially behind them. If you follow too closely, the driver may not be able to see you, increasing the risk of an accident. Keeping a safe distance ensures visibility and gives you more time to react if the large vehicle suddenly slows down or stops.

Before moving off from behind a parked car, you should use all the mirrors on the vehicle to check for approaching traffic, cyclists, or pedestrians. Additionally, looking over your shoulder for blind spots ensures a safe maneuver.

When approaching a school bus that is picking up or dropping off children, you must stop and allow the children to cross safely. Children can be unpredictable, and stopping ensures they have the right of way without any risk. Always remain alert and only proceed when it is completely safe.

When following a truck on a steep hill, it's important to maintain a safe gap to give yourself enough reaction time and avoid accidents if the truck needs to stop suddenly. It also helps you stay clear of exhaust fumes and allows you to react to any changes in the truck's speed or direction.

Explanation:

Taking regular breaks to rest and hydrate during a long journey helps prevent fatigue and keeps you focused. Rest allows your body and mind to recover, while hydration maintains energy levels and concentration. Together, these breaks improve alertness and reduce the risk of accidents caused by tiredness.

Driving on a wet road can significantly impact visibility due to the glare from reflected light on the water, making it harder to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and road markings, especially at night or in heavy rain, which can significantly reduce your ability to react to potential hazards.

Additionally, fog or mist may develop in wet conditions, further impairing visibility.

It’s important to drive cautiously and adjust speed when road conditions are wet to maintain control and visibility.

The best message to display on your vehicle to help save lives on the road is "Don't jump the red light." This reminds drivers to obey traffic signals, reducing the risk of accidents at intersections.

On a freshly graveled road, loose stones can reduce traction and increase stopping distances. Vehicles overtaking you can kick up gravel, which may damage your windshield or reduce visibility. Additionally, sudden maneuvers on loose gravel can lead to skidding. It’s important to reduce speed, maintain a safe following distance, and be extra cautious of vehicles overtaking to avoid accidents.

Taking up the correct position in good time signals your intentions to other road users, allowing them to anticipate your movement and adjust accordingly. This improves road safety and ensures smoother traffic flow. Proper positioning also helps prevent last-minute lane changes, which can be dangerous.

A driver should look far ahead of the vehicle while driving, typically aiming for a 12-15 second gap between their car and the one in front to allow enough time to react to potential hazards.

Before stopping, you should use the mirrors to check for traffic behind you. This helps ensure that stopping is safe and does not cause a hazard for other road users. Checking your mirrors allows you to be aware of approaching vehicles and adjust your braking accordingly.
