• Position your right hand on the back of the passenger seat
• Grip the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position with your left hand
• Move the wheel left or right in the direction in which you want the rear of the vehicle to go
• All of the above

3. __________________________ acceleration is used to maintain slow forward motion or allow speed to increase gradually with minimum weight shift.

• Idle
• Light
• Thershold
• Squeeze

4. Total stopping distance is made up of:

• Reaction time
• Braking time
• Perception time
• All of the above

5. ______________________ braking is used to smoothly and gradually reduce brake pressure at the end of a braking maneuver, helping avoid abrupt weight transfer when turning at an intersection or into a curve

• Trail
• Threshold
• Squeeze
• Cover

6. Which way do you turn the key when starting the engine?

• Left
• Right
• Centrifugal
• Clockwise
• Counter-clockwise

7. Steering where both of your hands stay in contact with the wheel the entire time.

• Hand- to- hand steering
• Hand- over- hand steering
• Steering while backing
• All of the Above

8. Steering where one hand passes across other forearm to complete turn.

• Hand- to- hand steering
• Hand- over- hand steering
• Steering while backing
• Push- pull steering
• All of the Above

9. Simply releasing pressure from the brake pedal that causes the vehicle to move slowly, forward or backward is known as:

• Idle acceleration
• Light acceleration
• Progressive acceleration
• Thrust acceleration

10. A firm push of the accelerator to increase acceleration when merging on a highway or trying to avoid an accident is known as:

• Idle acceleration
• Light acceleration
• Progressive acceleration
• Thrust acceleration
