Taillights must be red and of such intensity that they may be seen from a distance of how many feet behind the car?
- A.
200
- B.
300
- C.
400
- D.
500
Correct Answer
D. 500Explanation
Taillights must be red and of such intensity that they may be seen from a distance of 500 feet behind the car. This is important for the safety of both the driver and other road users. The bright red color and high intensity of the taillights ensure that they are easily visible, even in low light or adverse weather conditions. This allows vehicles following behind to maintain a safe distance and react in a timely manner to any sudden stops or changes in speed.Rate this question:

What would you do in the event your vehicle goes into a skid?
- A.
Steer into the skid
- B.
Hit your brakes hard
- C.
Turn wheels away from the skid
- D.
Speed up
Correct Answer
A. Steer into the skidExplanation
When a vehicle goes into a skid, the tires lose traction with the road surface, causing the vehicle to slide. Steering into the skid means turning the wheels in the same direction as the skid. This technique helps to regain control over the vehicle by allowing the tires to regain traction. By turning the wheels away from the skid, the skid can worsen and the vehicle may spin out of control. Hitting the brakes hard can also worsen the skid and make it harder to regain control. Speeding up is not a suitable response as it can increase the likelihood of losing control of the vehicle.Rate this question:

Reaction distance plus braking distance
- D.
150 feet
Correct Answer
C. Reaction distance plus braking distanceExplanation
The stopping distance is the total distance traveled by a vehicle from the moment the driver perceives a hazard to the moment the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It consists of two components: the reaction distance and the braking distance. The reaction distance is the distance traveled by the vehicle while the driver reacts to the hazard and applies the brakes. The braking distance is the distance traveled by the vehicle while the brakes are applied and the vehicle decelerates to a stop. Therefore, the correct answer is "Reaction distance plus braking distance."Rate this question:

When parking uphill with a curb the wheels should be:
- A.
Pointed straight ahead
- B.
Turned away from the curb [To the left]
- C.
Turn in to the curb [To the right]
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Turn in to the curb [To the right]Explanation
When parking uphill with a curb, the correct answer is to turn the wheels in to the curb (to the right). This is because if the car were to roll downhill, the front wheels would roll into the curb, which would act as a barrier and prevent the car from rolling further. Turning the wheels away from the curb (to the left) would not provide any protection against the car rolling downhill. Pointing the wheels straight ahead would also not be recommended as the car could potentially roll downhill without any obstruction.Rate this question:

The official document that shows ownership of a vehicle is called:
- A.
Registration certificate
- B.
Odometer
- C.
Title
- D.
License
Correct Answer
C. TitleExplanation
The official document that shows ownership of a vehicle is called a title. This document is issued by the government and contains information about the vehicle, such as the owner's name, address, and any liens or loans on the vehicle. The title is important because it proves legal ownership and allows the owner to transfer or sell the vehicle. The registration certificate, on the other hand, is a separate document that shows that the vehicle has been registered with the appropriate authorities and has met all the necessary requirements to be legally driven on the road. The odometer is a device that measures the distance traveled by a vehicle, while a license refers to a permit or authorization to drive a vehicle.Rate this question:

When parking on a hill, either uphill or downhill, without a curb, in which direction should the driver turn their wheels?
- A.
To the right
- B.
To the left
- C.
Straight ahead
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. To the rightExplanation
When parking on a hill without a curb, the driver should turn their wheels to the right. This is because if the vehicle were to roll downhill, the right-turning wheels would catch against the curb (if there was one) or the edge of the road, preventing the vehicle from rolling further. Turning the wheels to the right also ensures that the vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes were to fail.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Proof of Liability InsuranceExplanation
When asked by a police officer, you must keep proof of liability insurance in your car. This is because liability insurance provides coverage for any damages or injuries you may cause to others while driving. It is a legal requirement in many countries to have liability insurance while driving, and failing to provide proof of insurance when asked by a police officer can result in penalties or fines. Therefore, it is important to always carry proof of liability insurance in your car to comply with the law and show it to a police officer if requested.Rate this question:

A car may start to hydro at any speed over:
- A.
10 MPH
- B.
35 MPH
- C.
55 MPH
- D.
65 MPH
Correct Answer
B. 35 MpHExplanation
Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tires of a vehicle and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction. The speed at which hydroplaning can occur depends on various factors such as tire tread depth, tire pressure, and road conditions. However, generally, hydroplaning can start to happen at speeds as low as 35 mph, especially if the tires are worn or the road surface is wet. Therefore, 35 mph is the correct answer as it represents the minimum speed at which hydroplaning can begin to occur.Rate this question:
