The force that pulls objects toward the center of the earth is
Gravity
Energy of motion
Kinetic energy
Inertia
A vehicles speed when going downhill tends to
Decrease
Stabilize
Increase
Inhibit
Energy if motion is another way of expressing
Kinetic energy
Effect of wind on vehicle control
Mileage rating of a vehicle
The way vehicle bodies are designed
The gripping action that keeps a tire from slipping on the roadway is called
Kinetic energy
Friction
Gravity
Inertia
Because if it’s energy of motion, when a vehicle’s speed doubles, the vehicle needs about
Twice the distance to stop
Half the distance to stop
One fourth the distance to stop
Four times the distance to stop
When braking and turning, you use
All four tires
Only the outside edge of your tires
Split traction
Additional traction
If a tire is under inflated, the only part that grips the road well is the
Center of the tire thread
Outside edges of the tire thread
Tire cords
Wear bar
All wheel drive means
Power is supplied to four wheels
All four tires are inflated properly
Your traction is reduced
Power in the front tires only
Good shock absorbers
Last for the life of your vehicle
Decrease available traction
Are needed only on foreign vehicles
Help create traction
In wet weather, with temperatures near the freezing point
A highway roadway freezes before a bridge roadway
A bridge roadway freezes before a highway roadway
Bridge and highway roadways freeze at the same time
Bridge and highway roadways will not freeze
A vehicle driven into a curve tends to
Go in a straight line
Store energy of motion
Increase speed
Increase traction
You drive through a curve at a speed higher than the posted speed limit. Your vehicle
Can add traction as needed to stay on the roadway
Needs more traction to stay on the roadway
Will adjust to the traction available
Will stay on the road
A banked curve
Is cost prohibitive
Is higher on the inside than in the outside
Is higher on the outside than on the inside
Cause your vehicle to move to the middle of the curve
Large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, have
A food turning ability for quick turns
Slow stopping ability
Fast accelerating ability
Quick braking ability
Which statement best describes reaction time
It shortens if the traffic situation is complex
It lengthens if the traffic situation is complex
It is not affected by driver impairment
It averages 3/4 of a second
The distance a vehicle travels from the time the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle stops is
Perception distance
Total stopping distance
Reaction distance
Braking distance
What rule is used to estimate your total stopping distances under ideal conditions
4 second rule
2 second following distance rule
12 second visual lead rule
3 second travel rule
Three factors that determine force of impact are
Speed,weight, and distance between impact and stopping
Traction, brakes, and steering
Tire thread, visibility, and four wheel drive
shock absorbers, tire pressure, and roadway surface

A restraint the provides protection without having to be handled by the occupant is called
A passive restraint
A semi passive restraint
An active restraint
A semi active restraint
A properly adjusted safety belt
Fits loosely across the body and tightens during a collision
Fits snugly across the hips and comfortably across the chest
Restricts the upper body from moving
Restricts breathing and circulation
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
An air bag
Is an active restraint
Automatically inflates to protect an occupant
Must be fastened and adjusted by the occupant
Is not a reliable device
Which energy absorbing feature protects the driver in a front end collision
Head restraints
The steering wheel and column
Side door beams
Shock absorbers
A properly installed child safety seat is
Required in all states for children up to a certain age
A matter of the parents personal choice to use it or not
Good protection for any aged child
A passive restraint
