5 / 61

i j k l m n looking far ahead, on the sides and in the rearview


mirrors constantly.

j k l m n looking far ahead. j k l m n looking regularly in the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.

Solution : looking far ahead, on the sides and in the rearview mirrors constantly. Remember that 90% of the information needed to drive safely is gathered through the eyes.

As your speed increases, your visual field:

6 / 61

i j k l m n narrows. j k l m n stays the same. j k l m n widens.

Solution : narrows. The faster you travel, the narrower your field of vision.

What effect does increasing a vehicle's speed have on the operator?

Solution : Switch on your high beams when you are alongside the vehicle. High beams produce higher intensity illumination than low beams and should be used only when there is no risk of blinding other drivers.

You pass another vehicle at night. In this situation, what is your best course of action?

52 / 61

i j k l m n Switch on your low beams. j k l m n Switch on your high beams. j k l m n Flash your headlights.

Solution : Switch on your low beams. In this situation, high beams would blind an oncoming driver.

You are driving at night when the headlights of an oncoming vehicle blind you. In this situation, what is your best course of action?

53 / 61

i j k l m n Flash your headlights. j k l m n Switch on your high beams. j k l m n Switch on your emergency lights.

Solution : Flash your headlights. Flashing your headlights is a signal to the driver of the oncoming vehicle that his or her high beams are blinding you.

Visibility is poor because of heavy rain. In this situation, what is your best course of action?

54 / 61

i j k l m n Switch on your low beams. j k l m n Switch on your emergency lights. j k l m n Switch on your high beams.

Solution : Switch on your low beams. Make sure your low beams are switched on in the rain.

What is an important strategy for a better read of the road?

55 / 61

i j k l m n Maintain a safe distance with the vehicle ahead of


you.

j k l m n Take an energy drink before driving. j k l m n Use a handsfree cellphone.

Solution : Maintain a safe distance with the vehicle ahead of you. By maintaining a suitable safety margin, you will be better able to observe the driving situation and react more effectively in case of unforeseen events - a traffic light that turns yellow, a pedestrian crossing the street, a vehicle ahead of you that suddenly brakes, etc.

Which of the following things should you do before backing into your driveway.

56 / 61

60 / 61

i j k l m n Slow down and check over your shoulder before


turning.

j k l m n Accelerate to drive ahead of the cyclists. j k l m n Sound your horn to make your presence known.

Solution : Slow down and check over your shoulder before turning. This check is used to make sure that there are no vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians in the blind spot.

Which of the following statements describes or describe the consequences of switching on your headlights during the day?

61 / 61

1. Other drivers are blinded. 2. Evaluation of your speed is more difficult for the other users. 3. Your vehicle is easier to spot. 4. The other users are better able to evaluate the distance separating them from your vehicle.

Module 9 - Answer Key

You are driving on a road. There is a line of cyclists on the far right side of the road. What must you do?

1 / 96

i j k l m n Leave sufficient room when passing them. j k l m n Nothing in particular. j k l m n Sound your horn when passing them.

Solution : Leave sufficient room when passing them. Under the HSC, you must leave sufficient room when passing.

The driver in the vehicle 1 is passing you. What should you do to facilitate the manoeuvre?

2 / 96

i j k l m n Slow down. j k l m n Maintain a constant speed. j k l m n Accelerate.

Solution : Slow down. The driver in the red vehicle may slow down to enable the passing yellow vehicle to return to the right-hand lane safely.

You are the driver of vehicle A. A delivery truck starts backing into a driveway. What must you do?

3 / 96

i j k l m n Stop and wait for the truck to back into the driveway. j k l m n Honk to alert the truck driver to your presence. j k l m n Accelerate.

Solution : Stop and wait for the truck to back into the driveway. Stopping and waiting for the truck to back up is the safest decision you could make.

When you are being passed, what should you do to facilitate the manoeuvre for the other driver?

4 / 96

i j k l m n Slow down and leave enough room for the driver to


pull in front of you.

j k l m n Move over to the right. j k l m n Brake sharply to let the driver pass.

Solution : Slow down and leave enough room for the driver to pull in front of you. This is what is called safe sharing of the road.

If the vehicle passing you signals its intention to pull up in front of you, you should:

5 / 96

i j k l m n prepare to slow down to make room. j k l m n sound the horn and travel near the shoulder. j k l m n accelerate to let the vehicle re-enter the lane in back
of you.

Solution : prepare to slow down to make room. By cooperating with the driver passing you, you are sharing the road safely.

If you come across a driver who behaves selfishly or aggressively you must:

6 / 96

i j k l m n stay calm and in control of the vehicle at all times. j k l m n attempt to drive up to the other vehicle to have a few
words with the driver.

j k l m n show him you do not appreciate his behaviour by


hooting the horn and/or flashing the headlights.

Solution : stay calm and in control of the vehicle at all times. Staying calm is important. Tolerance, patience and foresight are the mark of a good driver.

In the illustration, the truck is backing into a private driveway. The driver of vehicle 1 should?

7 / 96

i j k l m n stop and wait for the way to be clear before


continuing.

j k l m n Accelerate. j k l m n stop as close to the driveway as possible.

Solution : stop and wait for the way to be clear before continuing. The driver must stop and wait for the way to be clear before continuing.

A person with a visual handicap has wandered slightly off a pedestrian crosswalk. Should you sound your horn?

8 / 96

i j k l m n No. j k l m n Yes. j k l m n Yes, if your vehicle is stopped at a stop line.

Solution : No. Sounding your horn will only confuse pedestrians with visual handicaps.

At an intersection where the light is green and the vehicles stopped ahead are backed up to the intersection, you must:

9 / 96

i j k l m n wait for the vehicles to move forward and leave


enough room for you to pull into and clear the intersection.

j k l m n pull into the intersection and hope for the lane to


clear before the green light changes to red.

j k l m n continue forward if there is no traffic to your left.


Solution : wait for the vehicles to move forward and leave enough room for you to pull into and clear the intersection. Even if permitted by the traffic lights, no driver of a road vehicle may enter an intersection if there is not enough room to clear it completely.

You have reached a busy intersection and the light turns green, you must make sure:

10 / 96

i j k l m n not to block the intersection. j k l m n not to prevent the vehicles behind you from moving
forward.

j k l m n the gearshift lever is in the right position.

Solution : not to block the intersection. Even if permitted by the traffic lights, no driver of a road vehicle may enter an intersection if there is not enough room to clear it completely.

You are travelling alongside a heavy vehicle on the expressway and stay in that position. Is this the right thing to do?

11 / 96

i j k l m n No. j k l m n Yes. j k l m n Yes, provided you abide by the maximum speed


limit.

Solution : No. Beware! If you travel alongside a heavy vehicle, due to the blind spots you may not be visible to the driver. Remember: if you can see the driver's face in the side rearview mirror, then he can see you too. Otherwise, move to where you can be seen to avoid a collision if the driver has to change lanes.

You are passing a heavy vehicle. When can you return to the right lane in front of it?

12 / 96

i j k l m n As soon as you see both the cab and trailer in the


inside rearview mirror.

j k l m n As soon as you see the cab in the inside rearview


mirror.

j k l m n As soon as you see both the cab and trailer in the


right rearview mirror.

Solution : As soon as you see both the cab and trailer in the inside rearview mirror. Return to the right lane in front of a heavy vehicle only when you can see both the cab and trailer in your inside rearview mirror. This will leave the driver the space and time needed to come to a stop.

You are in the vehicle 1 passing the heavy vehicle, when the driver in the vehicle 2 starts tailing you and flashing his headlights. What must you do?

13 / 96

i j k l m n You return to the right lane as soon as you can see


the cab and trailer in your inside rearview mirror.

j k l m n You immediately return to the right lane without


checking your rearview mirrors.

j k l m n You speed up and exceed the maximum speed limit.

Solution : You return to the right lane as soon as you can see the cab and trailer in your inside rearview mirror. Be careful! Entering the lane in front of the heavy vehicle without allowing plenty of room could cause a collision. Remember that it takes longer for a heavy vehicle to slow down.

What must you do when passing a heavy vehicle?

14 / 96

i j k l m n Be ready to compensate for the effect of wind


turbulence on your vehicle.

j k l m n Activate the hazard lights as soon as you are out of


the heavy vehicle's blind spots.

j k l m n Exceed the maximum speed limit to pass as quickly


as possible.

Solution : Be ready to compensate for the effect of wind turbulence on your vehicle. Be careful! When you pass a heavy vehicle or meet one going the other way, the sudden air turbulence may rock your vehicle. Be ready to compensate for this effect by steadying your steering wheel to keep the course.

Heavy vehicles stop:

15 / 96

i j k l m n over a greater distance than cars. j k l m n over a shorter distance than an automobile. j k l m n over the same distance as an automobile.

Solution : over a greater distance than cars. Since heavy vehicles are heavier than cars, they need more time and space to come to a stop.

What must you do in the presence of a heavy vehicle?

16 / 96

i j k l m n Avoid following it too closely. j k l m n Stay in its blind spots as long as possible. j k l m n Follow it at the same distance as you would a car.

Solution : Avoid following it too closely. Careful! If you are following a heavy vehicle, you must keep a distance that will allow you to avoid a rear-end collision should the driver suddenly brake or slow down. If you cannot see the side mirrors, you are following too closely and the driver cannot see you. Increase your following distance!

You are following a heavy vehicle on the expressway at a two-second time interval that you are careful to maintain. Is this enough?

17 / 96

i j k l m n No. j k l m n Yes, the two-second rule is always enough. j k l m n Yes, only when the roadway is dry.

Solution : No. It takes more space and time to stop a heavy vehicle than a car. If you cannot see the side mirrors, you are following too closely and the driver cannot see you. Increase your following distance!

You are on an upgrade when the heavy vehicle in front of you slows and stops. What must you do?

18 / 96

i j k l m n Stop and keep at a distance greater than you would


with a car.

j k l m n Slow down and get as close to it as possible. j k l m n Sound the horn to get the driver moving again.

Solution : Stop and keep at a distance greater than you would with a car. With heavy vehicles, you must always stay at a greater distance. When starting up, the driver will release the brake and the heavy vehicle may roll back several feet. Be patient! The driver will need to change gears several times.

Which one of the following statements about heavy vehicles is true?

19 / 96

i j k l m n You must avoid braking abruptly in front of them. j k l m n You must follow them very closely if you wish to
pass them safely.

j k l m n Because they are slow vehicles, you may cross a


solid double line to pass them.

Solution : You must avoid braking abruptly in front of them. Careful! If you slam on the brakes in front of a heavy vehicle, you could cause a collision or force the driver to steer the vehicle sideways. In the presence of a heavy vehicle, drive slower and keep a greater distance.

A heavy vehicle is about to back up. What must you do?

20 / 96

i j k l m n Wait for the driver to complete the manoeuvre. j k l m n Speed up to pass it before it backs up. j k l m n Drive around it.

Solution : Wait for the driver to complete the manoeuvre. While a heavy vehicle driver relies on his rearview mirrors to see what is behind his vehicle, he cannot see everything in them. Keep at a safe distance to stay out of his blind spots.

You are driving in the rain and are about to reach a heavy vehicle travelling in the opposite direction. What must you do prior to reaching it?

21 / 96

i j k l m n Increase the speed of the wipers. j k l m n Move over to the shoulder. j k l m n Activate the hazard lights.
Solution : Increase the speed of the wipers. You must increase the speed of the wipers before reaching the heavy vehicle. This will prevent the splash and spay of water on the windshield from cutting down on visibility.

You are in the vehicle and wish to make a right turn. As you near the intersection, you notice the trucker ahead signalling his intention to turn right and moving to the left lane. What must you do?

22 / 96

i j k l m n Slow down and stay in your lane. j k l m n Sound the horn to show how annoyed you are. j k l m n Accelerate.

Solution : Slow down and stay in your lane. Beware! Heavy vehicles need more space to make a turn. That truckers may need to enter the next lane to complete the manoeuvre is to be expected. Allow them enough space and time to do so.

You are on a road with a posted speed of 90 km/h. In your left side mirror, you see a heavy vehicle overtaking you. What is the best thing you can do to help the driver complete the manoeuvre?

23 / 96

i j k l m n Slow down. j k l m n Sound the horn and let him know he is going too
fast.

j k l m n Speed up to the point where he no longer needs to


pass you.

Solution : Slow down. In the presence a heavy vehicle, slow down to help the driver with his manoeuvres.

You are driving in the left lane and a moped is driving alongside you in the right lane. From time to time, the moped driver looks at you. You must:

24 / 96

i j k l m n presume that the moped driver intends to change


lanes.

j k l m n presume that the driver is behaving nervously. j k l m n suspect that the driver of the moped is unstable on
the vehicle.

Solution : presume that the moped driver intends to change lanes. You must presume that the moped driver intends to change lanes. Before passing or changing lanes, moped drivers must check the blind spot by turning their head to see whether the way is clear. This technique is one of the steps of a lane-change manoeuvre

You are driving behind a moped down a narrow street when it brakes for no apparent reason. Which statement shows good anticipation?

25 / 96

i j k l m n You left enough room between your vehicle and the


moped.

j k l m n You think you have enough time to stop, because


you are a good driver.

j k l m n You sound your horn to make your presence known.

Solution : You left enough room between your vehicle and the moped. As for any other vehicle, you must leave sufficient room between your vehicle and the moped.

You are about to cross an intersection. A schoolchild is waiting on the sidewalk. Before crossing the intersection you must presume that:

26 / 96

i j k l m n the schoolchild has not seen you. j k l m n the schoolchild has seen you. j k l m n the school child will not cross at the intersection.

Solution : the schoolchild has not seen you. Young children are often quite small and cannot see beyond any parked vehicles.

A schoolchild is about to cross a busy intersection while talking with friends. Choose the statement that shows the best understanding of the situation.

27 / 96

i j k l m n It is surely hard for the child to pay attention to more


than one thing at a time.

j k l m n The child is surely able to take the traffic into


account.

j k l m n The child is surely able to adjust to the situation.

Solution : It is surely hard for the child to pay attention to more than one thing at a time. It is hard for children to understand complex situations; they cannot pay attention to more than one thing at a time.

A young child drops a ball and runs after it. What must you expect?

28 / 96

i j k l m n The child will not see the oncoming vehicle. j k l m n The child will see the vehicle and stop. j k l m n The child will let the ball go.

Solution : The child will not see the oncoming vehicle. A young child is often governed by emotions (happiness, anxiety) and will not take into account an oncoming vehicle even if the child sees the vehicle.

You are driving behind a heavy vehicle transporting dangerous substances. The vehicle approaches a level crossing. The red lights are not flashing and the barrier is not lowered. What must you expect?

29 / 96

i j k l m n The vehicle will stop 5 metres from the railway


crossing.

j k l m n The vehicle will slow down but continue driving on. j k l m n The vehicle will continue driving on without slowing
down.

Solution : The vehicle will stop 5 metres from the railway crossing. The vehicle will stop 5 metres from the railway crossing.

The following statements concern heavy vehicle blind spots. Which statement is true?

30 / 96

i j k l m n A heavy vehicle has blind spots at the front, rear,


and left and right sides.

j k l m n Because of the large size of heavy vehicles, they


have blind spots only at the sides and rear.

j k l m n The blind spots of heavy vehicles are the same as


those of automobiles.

Solution : A heavy vehicle has blind spots at the front, rear, and left and right sides. The blind spots of a heavy vehicle are the parts of the road that the driver cannot see because of the size of the vehicle. When other road users are in those zones, the driver cannot see them. Such blind spots exist at the front, rear and sides of heavy vehicles.

At 50 km/h, the emergency braking distance of a heavy vehicle on a dry road is:

31 / 96

i j k l m n roughly twice that of an automobile. j k l m n roughly 5 times that of an automobile. j k l m n roughly once that of an automobile.

Solution : roughly twice that of an automobile. When braking for an emergency at 50 km/h on dry pavement, a heavy vehicle takes twice or three times as long as an automobile to stop.

You are driving behind a heavy vehicle in the right lane. At an intersection, the truck driver encroaches on the left lane in order to carry out a tight right turn. What must you do to help the driver?

32 / 96

i j k l m n Slow down to increase the room between the truck


and your vehicle, while giving the truck driver enough time to complete the right turn.

j k l m n Carry out the same manoeuvre as the heavy vehicle


driver.

j k l m n Accelerate and make your right turn as quickly as


possible.

Solution : Slow down to increase the room between the truck and your vehicle, while giving the truck driver enough time to complete the right turn. A heavy vehicle driver needs a lot of room to carry out a turn; the driver frequently has to encroach on the left lane. Consequently, if you are driving behind a heavy vehicle give it a wide berth and never pass on the right. Passing on the right is always a dangerous manoeuvre, since you could find yourself trapped on the side of the truck.

The following statements concern heavy vehicles. Which statement is true?

33 / 96

i j k l m n It is important to be courteous and tolerant around


heavy vehicles.

j k l m n A single solid line and a double solid line can be


crossed in order to pass a heavy vehicle.

j k l m n It is not important to be aware of the main

constraints on driving heavy vehicles, since it is the responsibility of the heavy vehicle driver to adapt to the other road users.

Solution : It is important to be courteous and tolerant around heavy vehicles. Safety precautions are important when sharing the road with heavy vehicles. This calls for courtesy and tolerance. For example, a truck needs more time and room to stop. If you are driving ahead of a heavy vehicle, safe sharing of the road requires early signalling of your intention to turn or change lanes.

The following statements concern heavy vehicles. Which statement is true?

34 / 96

i j k l m n Because of the height of a heavy vehicle, you run

the risk of a collision when you move into the blind spot at the front of the vehicle.

j k l m n There is no risk of collision when a vehicle rapidly


cuts in front of a heavy vehicle from the left, then slows down in front of the heavy vehicle.

j k l m n There is no risk of collision when a vehicle rapidly

cuts in front of a heavy vehicle from the right, then slows down in front of the heavy vehicle.

Solution : Because of the height of a heavy vehicle, you run the risk of a collision when you move into the blind spot at the front of the vehicle. Because of the length and height of a heavy vehicle, the driver cannot easily see the other road users. In addition, there are blind spots at the front, rear and sides of heavy vehicles.

Your route includes several sharp curves. Ahead, at some distance, you see a moped. Your driving is preventive or proactive if:

35 / 96

i j k l m n you slow down. j k l m n you avoid driving up close behind the moped. j k l m n you quickly pass the moped.

Solution : you slow down. A driver approaching a curve must be able to judge at what speed it can be taken. The driver must also consider that the moped can easily swerve off course in a curve.

There is a moped ahead of you. To pass it, you must:

36 / 96

i j k l m n use the left lane. j k l m n pass it inside the lane it is travelling in. j k l m n pass it on the right.

Solution : use the left lane. Moped drivers must abide by the same traffic rules as other drivers. Unlike cyclists, they are not required to drive on the side of the road. Motorists must therefore avoid encroaching on their lane.

You are driving behind a moped on a road under repairs. What must you do to drive preventively or proactively?

37 / 96

i j k l m n You take into account the danger to the moped


driver.

j k l m n You worry about the detours making your trip longer. j k l m n While driving, you concentrate solely on the road
signs.

Solution : You take into account the danger to the moped driver. You take into account the danger to the moped driver. Sharing the road means suitably observing and evaluating the situation and, above all, driving safely, both for yourself and for others.

You are about to proceed after making a mandatory stop. A moped is already waiting to cross the intersection. What must you do?

38 / 96

i j k l m n Yield the right of way. j k l m n Accelerate. j k l m n Proceed, since you have priority over the moped.

Solution : Yield the right of way. You must yield the right of way. The driver of a vehicle stopping at an intersection must yield the right of way to the vehicle that stopped at the intersection first.

You are leaving a gas station and you want to enter the line of vehicles in front of you. On beginning your manoeuvre, you hear the distinctive sound of a moped in the distance. What must you do?

39 / 96

i j k l m n You check left, right, then left again. j k l m n You do not have to pay any attention to the moped. j k l m n You check to see if it is coming from your right.

Solution : You check left, right, then left again. You check left, right, then left again. Before making a turn, the driver must be sure that the manoeuvre can be done safely.

You are stopped at an intersection and a young moped driver arrives rapidly, signalling his or her intention to turn left. What must you do to drive preventively or proactively?

40 / 96

i j k l m n You have the priority, but you wait a bit. j k l m n You have the priority so you proceed. j k l m n You sound your horn to make the moped driver
stop.

Solution : You have the priority, but you wait a bit. Moped drivers can suffer more injuries than other drivers because they are not protected. In certain hazardous situations, it is better to yield the right of way rather than risk an accident.

In heavy traffic, drivers must watch out for motorcycles because they:

41 / 96

i j k l m n are harder to see than automobiles. j k l m n are slower than automobiles. j k l m n are harder to pass.

Solution : are harder to see than automobiles. Motorcycles are smaller, so they are harder to see, especially at night, in poor weather or heavy traffic.

Come springtime, drivers must be more careful, because the presence of motorcycles can:

42 / 96

i j k l m n surprise you. j k l m n slow you down. j k l m n bother you.

Solution : surprise you. There are not many motorcycles and they do not travel the roads all year long. This makes it harder to notice them in traffic.

Fatal accidents involving a motorcycle and an automobile are due to a manoeuvre by the driver of the automobile:

43 / 96

i j k l m n almost 60% of the time. j k l m n almost 40% of the time. j k l m n almost 25% of the time.

Solution : almost 60% of the time. In just under 60% of the fatal accidents involving a motorcycle and an automobile, the driver of the automobile initiated the manoeuvre that led to the accident.

There are many fatal accidents at intersections when motorists cut off motorcycles because:

44 / 96

1. The motorist thinks he or she has enough time to turn ahead of the motorcycle. 2. The motorist did not see the motorcycle.

i j k l m n 1, 2 j k l m n1 j k l m n2

Solution : 1, 2 Almost 40% of all fatal accidents involving a motorcycle and an automobile occur at intersections, when the automobile cuts off the motorcycle. The driver of the automobile often thinks there is enough time to turn left or cross the intersection ahead of the motorcycle, or the driver simply does not see the motorcycle.

You notice that the motorcycle ahead of you is driving on the left side of the lane. How best should this situation be interpreted?

45 / 96

i j k l m n It is normal, the motorcyclist wants to be better


seen.

j k l m n The motorcyclist is surely going to make a left turn. j k l m n This does not mean anything in particular.

Solution : It is normal, the motorcyclist wants to be better seen. Motorcyclists generally drive on the left side of the lane to be better seen; they do not necessarily intend to turn left.

Is a motorcyclist entitled to the entire lane?

46 / 96

i j k l m n Yes. j k l m n No. j k l m n Yes, but only on autoroutes.

Solution : Yes. Like an automobile, a motorcycle is entitled to the entire lane for the sake of safety.

Module 12 Answer Key

When should you plug in the block heater?

1 / 22

i j k l m n Two hours before getting behind the wheel. j k l m n Overnight. j k l m n Four hours before getting behind the wheel.

Solution : Two hours before getting behind the wheel. Plugging in the block heater more than two hours is a waste of electric power. It is better to use a timer to turn on the block heater two hours before starting the vehicle.

What is the minimum suggested interval for checking the air pressure of your tires?

2 / 22

i j k l m n At least once a month. j k l m n At the beginning of every season. j k l m n At every oil change.

Solution : At least once a month. Checking the air pressure of your tires on a regular basis is important. The best time to do so is when the tires have cooled and the vehicle has been stationary for at least three hours or has travelled less than 2 km.

To save fuel, the maximum sustained speed at which a vehicle should travel is:

3 / 22

i j k l m n 90 km/h. j k l m n 120 km/h. j k l m n 100 km/h.

Solution : 90 km/h. In most cases, dropping the maximum sustained speed from 100 to 90 km/h results in a fuel saving of nearly 10 %. However, increasing the maximum sustained speed from 100 to 120 km/h results in a 20 % fuel consumption increase.

Is it a good habit to let your vehicle idle?

4 / 22

i j k l m n No, because of the noxious effects on the


environment.

j k l m n Yes, because it allows the catalytic converter to


reach optimum temperature.

j k l m n Yes, because fuel consumption is optimized.

Solution : No, because of the noxious effects on the environment. Letting your vehicle idle is a waste of money, because you burn fuel while going nowhere. Also, it causes harmful gases to be emitted in the atmosphere.

Is it necessary to let the vehicle idle on cold winter days?

5 / 22

i j k l m n No, it is useless to let the engine run more than 30


seconds.

j k l m n Yes, because every part of the vehicle must be kept


warm.

j k l m n Yes, because warming up a vehicle takes time.

Solution : No, it is useless to let the engine run more than 30 seconds. Many parts of a vehicle, including tires and suspension, will warm up only once the vehicle is moving. If the windows are clear, no more than 30 seconds of idling is needed to get the oil circulating through the engine.

Is it still recommended to rotate the tires on vehicles, despite technological advances in this area?

6 / 22

i j k l m n Yes, every 10,000 km. j k l m n Yes, every 50,000 km. j k l m n It is no longer necessary to do so.

Solution : Yes, every 10,000 km. This way you reduce wear and fuel consumption and ensure maximum performance in addition to safer driving.

If you are forced to drive with a compact spare, what is the maximum speed at which you can travel?

7 / 22

i j k l m n 80 km/h. j k l m n 100 km/h. j k l m n 90 km/h.

Solution : 80 km/h. You must drive slowly, as the compact spare is designed for use over a short distance at slow speed.

When driving at 120 km/h instead of 100 km/h on the autoroute, your gas consumption:

8 / 22

i j k l m n is 20% higher. j k l m n stays the same. j k l m n is 5% higher. j k l m n is 20% lower.


Solution : is 20% higher. The faster we drive, the greater our fuel consumption. Studies show that fuel savings peak at 90 km/h. Observing the speed limits on autoroutes saves money.

Over a distance of 15 km, driving at 110 km/h in a 90 km/h zone will save you:

i j k l m n 2 minutes. j k l m n 20 minutes. j k l m n 10 minutes. j k l m n 5 minutes.


Solution : 2 minutes. In a 90 km/h zone, driving at 20 km/h over the speed limit will save you only 2 minutes over 15 km. This is negligible, considering that the risk of an accident is six times greater. In addition, if there is road work, traffic or other impediments, there may be no gain at all.
