Why should the head restraint be adjusted correctly?

301. Why should the head restraint be adjusted correctly?

To make the seat belt tighter.
To support the lower back.
✓ To reduce the risk of neck injury in a collision.
To improve rear visibility.

A correctly adjusted head restraint helps support the head and can reduce the risk of neck injury, especially in a rear-end collision. The top of the restraint should normally be level with the top of the head.

What should you do if the service brakes fail while driving?

304. What should you do if the service brakes fail while driving?

✓ Reduce speed using other available braking methods and stop safely.
Apply the parking brake suddenly at full force.
Continue slowly until the brakes begin working again.
Switch off the engine immediately while moving.

Remain calm, warn other road users, and use other available braking methods to reduce speed. This may include engine braking or a lower gear, and careful use of the parking or emergency brake according to the vehicle's design. Steer toward the safest available stopping area.

How can higher speed affect fuel or energy consumption?

305. How can higher speed affect fuel or energy consumption?

✓ It can increase consumption because air resistance rises.
It has no effect once the vehicle is moving.
It always reduces consumption.
It improves tyre efficiency in every situation.

As speed increases, aerodynamic resistance generally rises, so the vehicle needs more energy to maintain that speed. Driving smoothly at an appropriate speed can therefore reduce fuel or energy consumption.

How should you normally brake on a motorcycle?

315. How should you normally brake on a motorcycle?

✓ Use both brakes smoothly and progressively.
Use only the front brake.
Use only the rear brake.
Apply both brakes as suddenly as possible.

During normal braking, use both the front and rear brakes smoothly and progressively. The front brake normally provides much of the braking force, while the rear brake also helps slow and stabilise the motorcycle. Sudden or poorly balanced braking can reduce stability or cause a wheel to lose grip.

319. How should cyclists brake on a wet road?

Brake normally because wet roads do not affect grip.
Brake sharply once you are close to stopping.
Use only one brake to avoid skidding.
✓ Brake earlier and more gradually than usual.

Wet surfaces reduce grip and increase stopping distance. Smooth, early braking helps prevent skidding.

Why should you keep a dog on a leash near traffic?

322. Why should you keep a dog on a leash near traffic?

To allow the dog to walk closer to moving traffic.
To make approaching vehicles drive more slowly.
✓ To prevent it from suddenly running into the road.
To make it easier for drivers to hear the dog.

Dogs can react unpredictably to vehicles, people, noises, or other animals. Keeping a dog under close control on a leash near traffic reduces the risk of it suddenly entering the road and endangering itself or other road users.

Why should you avoid sudden steering movements on snow or ice?

324. Why should you avoid sudden steering movements on snow or ice?

They reduce the effectiveness of the headlights.
They increase fuel consumption.
They make the steering wheel harder to turn.
✓ They can cause the tyres to lose grip and the vehicle to skid.

Abrupt steering can overwhelm the limited grip available on a slippery surface. Steering smoothly helps keep the vehicle stable.

Increase speed to see if the vehicle straightens.
✓ Check the tyre pressures and have the steering, alignment, and brakes inspected.
Keep driving and correct the steering as needed.
Reduce pressure in the tyre on the opposite side.

Persistent pulling can be caused by incorrect tyre pressure, wheel misalignment, suspension wear, or a braking fault. It should not be ignored.

Why is it dangerous to cross between parked cars?

338. Why is it dangerous to cross between parked cars?

Traffic always moves faster beside parked cars.
Parked cars make the crossing distance longer.
✓ Drivers may not see you or expect you to cross.

340. Why should a seat belt not be twisted when worn?

✓ A flat belt spreads collision forces more effectively.
A twisted belt prevents the airbags from working.
A twisted belt can cause the buckle to open.
A twisted belt makes the brakes less effective.

A seat belt should lie flat against the body without twists. A twisted belt concentrates force over a smaller area and may provide less effective protection in a collision.
