- D.
Once in Two years
Correct Answer
B. Once in two years or even earlier, as decided by the driver’s supervisorExplanation
All drivers should undergo refresher training once in two years or even earlier, as decided by the driver's supervisor. This is because refresher training helps drivers to update their skills, knowledge, and understanding of road safety regulations. It ensures that drivers are aware of any new laws or regulations that may have been implemented since their initial training. Additionally, it allows supervisors to assess the performance and competence of drivers regularly and address any areas that may need improvement. Regular refresher training helps to maintain a high standard of driving and promotes safe practices on the road.Rate this question:

In wet roads conditions, a vehicle requires
- A.
More distance to stop
- B.
Less distance to stop
- C.
Makes no difference
Correct Answer
A. More distance to stopExplanation
In wet road conditions, the surface becomes slippery due to the presence of water, reducing the friction between the tires and the road. This lack of friction makes it harder for the tires to grip the road, resulting in a longer stopping distance for the vehicle. Therefore, in wet road conditions, a vehicle requires more distance to come to a complete stop compared to dry road conditions.Rate this question:

While transporting hazardous material, the driver must carry
- A.
TREM card
- B.
MSDS
- C.
RCFA

Explosive meter
Correct Answer
A. TREM cardExplanation
The correct answer is TREM card. When transporting hazardous materials, it is essential for the driver to carry a Transportation Emergency Response Plan (TREM) card. This card contains crucial information about the hazardous material being transported, including its identification, potential hazards, emergency response procedures, and contact information for emergency response agencies. The TREM card helps ensure that the driver and emergency responders have access to the necessary information and can take appropriate actions in case of an incident or accident involving the hazardous material.Rate this question:

While entering LPG yard storage, the vehicle silencer must have
- A.
Flashback arrestor
- B.
Flame arrestor
- C.
Spark arrestor
Correct Answer
C. Spark arrestorExplanation
When entering the LPG yard storage, it is important for the vehicle silencer to have a spark arrestor. This is because a spark arrestor is designed to prevent sparks or hot particles from being emitted from the vehicle's exhaust system. In an environment where flammable gases like LPG are present, a spark can potentially ignite the gas and cause a fire or explosion. Therefore, a spark arrestor helps to minimize the risk of ignition by trapping and extinguishing any sparks that may be produced by the vehicle's exhaust system.Rate this question:

With the increase in speed, the angle of vision
- A.
Increases proportionately
- B.
Remains same
- C.
Depends on the type of vehicle
- D.
Reduces proportionately
Correct Answer
D. Reduces proportionatelyExplanation
As speed increases, the angle of vision reduces proportionately. This is because at higher speeds, objects appear to move faster and therefore have less time to be observed within the field of vision. This reduction in the angle of vision can lead to a narrower and more focused view, limiting the peripheral vision and potentially increasing the chances of missing important details or hazards on the road.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. The red light is approaching in 3 seconds. Be ready to stop.Explanation
Amber light indicates that the red light will be appearing in 3 seconds, so it is a warning for drivers to prepare to stop. It is not an extension of the green light, nor does it imply that one should increase speed or watch out for a policeman.Rate this question:

Road Safety warning signs should be located approximately ________ meters in advance of Hazards.
- A.
25 – 50 meters
- B.
50 – 75 meters
- C.
75 – 100 meters
- D.
100 – 125 metes
Correct Answer
C. 75 – 100 metersExplanation
Road Safety warning signs should be located approximately 75-100 meters in advance of hazards. This distance allows drivers enough time to react and adjust their speed or maneuver safely when approaching a potential hazard on the road. Placing the signs too close to the hazard may not give drivers enough time to respond, while placing them too far away may not effectively communicate the presence of the hazard in a timely manner. Therefore, a distance of 75-100 meters is considered optimal for ensuring road safety.Rate this question:

- A.
16 Km/ hr.
- B.
25 Km/ hr
- C.
30 Km/ hr.
- D.
Not more than Walking speed
Correct Answer
D. Not more than Walking speedExplanation
The correct answer is "Not more than Walking speed" because the shop floor is a confined space where there are usually many obstacles and pedestrians. Allowing vehicles to go faster than walking speed would increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Therefore, it is important to enforce a speed limit that is no higher than the speed at which a person can walk to ensure the safety of everyone in the area.Rate this question:

According to TML SD&VTS standards, the daily travel on highways should not exceed 350 kms. This means that it is recommended to limit the distance traveled on highways to 350 kms per day. This could be due to safety concerns, fatigue management, or other factors that may affect the driver's performance and well-being. By adhering to this standard, the risk of accidents or incidents caused by exhaustion or excessive driving can be minimized.Rate this question:

B. Do a walk-around inspectionExplanation
Before getting into a vehicle, it is important to do a walk-around inspection. This involves visually inspecting the vehicle from all sides to check for any potential issues or hazards. By doing a walk-around inspection, you can ensure that the vehicle is in proper working condition, such as checking for any flat tires, leaks, or damage. This step is crucial for your safety and the safety of others on the road, as it helps identify any potential problems that may affect the vehicle's performance or pose a risk while driving.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5 secondsExplanation
The correct answer is 5 seconds because it is the recommended amount of time to signal before making a turn. Signaling in advance allows other drivers and pedestrians to anticipate the upcoming turn and adjust their actions accordingly, promoting safer road interactions. It gives everyone enough time to react and make appropriate decisions, reducing the risk of accidents or misunderstandings on the road.Rate this question:

During night driving, it is important to ensure that others can see you to avoid accidents. Wearing a fluorescent or bright dress increases your visibility on the road. On the other hand, wearing a black dress can make it difficult for other drivers to spot you. Additionally, using all the blinkers and warning signs when stopping alerts other drivers of your intentions, further enhancing safety. Therefore, all of the above options are necessary to make yourself visible and reduce the risk of accidents during night driving.Rate this question:

Defensive driving is not a way to drive faster, as it focuses on minimizing risks and avoiding accidents. While it may not be required by law in all places, many jurisdictions have laws and regulations that encourage or mandate defensive driving practices.Rate this question:

B. The truck driver cannot see youExplanation
Driving in a truck blind spot means that the truck driver cannot see you. This is because trucks have large blind spots, especially on the sides and rear of the vehicle. It is important to avoid driving in these blind spots as it increases the risk of accidents, as the truck driver may not be aware of your presence and could unintentionally change lanes or make a maneuver that could lead to a collision.Rate this question:
