Which of the following are the commonest causes of skidding ?

1. 1. Driving two fast for the circumstances

2. 2. Harsh Acceleration

3. 3. Course Steering

4. 4. Too Fast for the vehicle

5. 5. Excessive of sudden braking

• 1,2,4

• 1,2,3,4

• 1,2,3,5

• All Of the above

The advantage of an Anti Lock Braking System is:

• It allows you to steer under full braking

• It provides traction to all wheels when skidding

• It senses when you are about to skid and releases the wheels

• It stops the vehicle quicker under all conditions

In order to correct a front/rear/four wheel skid, your first action should be to:

• Steer in the direction of the skid

• Brake firmly

• Remove the cause

• Apply the accelerator to balance the vehicle

Aquaplaning is where a wedge of water build up between:

• The front and rear tyres

• All four wheels

• The rear tyres and the road surface

• The front tyres and the road surface

Roadcraft advises that for maximum control when braking, What should you do ?

1. Use brake gear overlap whenever possible

2. Keep both hands on the wheel

3. Avoid braking on corners and bends

4. Brake hard to get maximum benefit from the braking system

• 1,2

• 2,3

• 3,4

• All the above

Which statement is true with regard to ABS? (Anti Lock Braking System)

• ABS helps braking only

• ABS gives you some steering control during emergency braking

• ABS and cadence braking can be used together as a technique for effective braking

• ABS increases the grip of the tyres

In demanding and complex driving situations, using the system of car control gives you?

• Good road observations

• Improved mental skills

• Time to react

• Improved physical skills

What are the phases of the system of car control?

• Course, information, Speed, Gear, Acceleration

• Speed, information, Gear, Acceleration

• Information, Speed, Gear, Position, Acceleration

• Information, Position, Speed, Gear, Acceleration

Break gear overlap should only be used as part of a planned approach that is most appropriate for the circumstances?

• True

• False

The basic safety principle of driving is ?

• Do not exceed the speed limits of your car

• Keep both hands on the wheel

• You must be able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear

• Keep your driving smooth at all times
