Natural Laws/Intersections Test

The distance your vehicle travels while you respond to a road hazard is called

• braking distance.

• perception distance.

• reaction distance.

• stopping distance.

A vehicle going uphill works

• with the force of gravity.

• against the force of gravity.

• against centrifugal force.

• with centrifugal force.

Modern seat belts

• are installed only when requested.

• are passive restraint devices.

• should fit somewhat loosely across the chest.

• are three-point lap and shoulder safety belts.

When a vehicle's speed triples, how much more distance does it need to stop?

• about double the distance.

• about nine times the distance.

• about six times the distance.

• about three times the distance.

An important factor in maintaining traction is

• overinflated tires.

• having a brand new vehicle.

• a clean vehicle.

• good shock absorbers.

The second collision occurs when

• a vehicle strikes a parked vehicle.

• the occupants hit the inside of the vehicle after a collision.

• a vehicle loses control and spins out.

• a vehicle is struck by a vehicle following it.

Air bags are designed to

• be used with safety belts.

• protect in all types of collisions.

• take up most of the room on your dashboard for safety purposes.

• protect all occupants of the vehicle, front and back.

How many collisions occur when a vehicle hits a solid object?

• two

• zero

• three

• one

High energy of motion may cause a vehicle to

• go around a tight curve successfully.

• miss a tight curve.

• bank a curve.

• maintain a good traction in a tight curve.

Large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, have

• good turning ability for quick turns.

• slow stopping ability.

• fast accelerating ability.

• quick braking ability.
