i j k l m n If he considers himself a very good driver. j k l m n If he always drives alone. j k l m n If he is able to stand up to peer pressure.
Solution : If he considers himself a very good driver. If he considers himself a very good driver. Overestimation of one's abilities is a factor that may modify a young driver's perception of risk.
9 / 18
i j k l m n Under-estimation of the complexity of traffic. j k l m n The lack of a sense of direction. j k l m n Bad luck.
Solution : Under-estimation of the complexity of traffic. Under-estimation of the complexity of traffic, the influence of the young drivers immediate circle (the need to be equal to the situation), and the lack of emotional and physical maturity are characteristics of young drivers that diminish their perception of risk.
10 / 18
i j k l m n Young people are in a period of rapid maturation. j k l m n Young people are reluctant to test their limits. j k l m n Young people are very dependent.
Solution : Young people are in a period of rapid maturation. Young people are typically in a period of rapid maturation; they test their limits and assert their independence.
Why do some young drivers have a tendency to take more risks than adult drivers?
11 / 18
i j k l m n Because they evaluate the risks poorly. j k l m n Because they lack discipline. j k l m n Because they are unfamiliar with the laws.
Solution : Because they evaluate the risks poorly. Because their level of risk tolerance is greater and they are over-confident in their (inaccurate) evaluation of risks.
A young man of 16 insists on driving you home despite the late hour and being very tired. Keeping in mind the characteristics of young people, what is the best explanation?

Solution : During adolescence, boys are more inclined to take risks. During adolescence, boys are more inclined to take risks, be thrill seekers and speed.
Complete the following so as to make a true statement. The reason for driving is mainly enjoyment:
14 / 18
Solution : for boys. For boys, pleasure is the reason for driving; for girls, the reason is to get to their destination. This is one reason why the rate of fatal accidents is higher for male drivers than female drivers.
15 / 18
Solution : Adolescent boys. Adolescent boys are more inclined to take risks, be thrill seekers and speed.
16 / 18
j k l m n No, it's just that girls go out less and dont stay out
as late as boys.
Solution : Yes, boys tend to over-estimate their abilities and are more likely to be influenced by their friends. One element explaining the rate of fatal accidents for boys is that they have a greater tendency to overestimate their abilities, and are more easily influenced by their friends.
17 / 18
Solution : Learning to drive takes time, and this is true for everyone, not just young people. Learning to drive takes time and extensive practice in order to reach a suitable level of competence. This is true for everyone, not just young people.

Crossing or straddling the center line is prohibited. The driver must approach the center line in a straight line and continue edging closer to it until the point where the turn can be made is reached.
Which of the following statements describing the effect of increased speed is true? The greater the speed:
22 / 79
i j k l m n the less traction the vehicle will have. j k l m n the shorter the stopping distance. j k l m n the more the force of impact will be reduced.
Solution : the less traction the vehicle will have. At high speed, the vehicle loses traction and the risk of skidding increases. This is especially true in sharp curves because of the centrifugal force. Remember, the laws of physics apply to good and bad drivers alike.
23 / 79
j k l m n Take a quick look to the right. j k l m n Just observe the speed limit. j k l m n Just turn on the turn-signal indicator.
Solution : Check the rearview mirrors and blind spots and make sure there is enough room. Lane changes are delicate manoeuvres. Make sure your lane change is done safely by carrying out visual checks (rearview mirrors and blind spots) and checking whether you have enough room.

50 / 61
Solution : Switch on your low beams as soon as the vehicle is alongside you. Switch on your low beams to avoid blinding other drivers.
You pass another vehicle at night. In this situation, what is your best course of action?
51 / 61
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.

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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
14 / 96
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
33 / 96
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.
34 / 96
the risk of a collision when you move into the blind spot at the front of the vehicle.
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.
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
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
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
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.
46 / 96
Solution : Yes. Like an automobile, a motorcycle is entitled to the entire lane for the sake of safety.
You are driving behind a motorcycle; road conditions are dry. What must you know?
47 / 96
Solution : A motorcycle's braking distance is shorter than that of an automobile. A motorcycle's braking distance is shorter than that of an automobile because its braking capability is greater than an automobiles.
You are driving behind a motorcycle. The recommended following distance is equal to:
48 / 96
Solution : three or four seconds. Keep a safe distance behind the motorcycle ahead of you. This calls for more room than between two automobiles.
You are driving behind a group of motorcycles in staggered formation. What must you do to safely pass them?
49 / 96
i j k l m n Respect the group formation. j k l m n Merge into the middle of the group. j k l m n Merge between two motorcycles.
Solution : Respect the group formation. Motorcyclists travelling in groups adopt a staggered formation for better safety. Drivers must respect the formation and not merge into it.
You are about to get out of your vehicle. What must you do?
50 / 96
i j k l m n Check your rearview mirror for approaching cyclists. j k l m n Open your door to see whether you are well parked. j k l m n Open your door to see whether a cyclist is
approaching.
Solution : Check your rearview mirror for approaching cyclists. Check your rearview mirror for approaching cyclists.
You are driving at night in a well-lit neighbourhood. A young cyclist dressed in black suddenly appears, taking you by surprise. What is your best course of action?
51 / 96
i j k l m n Drive behind the cyclist. j k l m n Stay vigilant, the cyclist is not very visible. j k l m n Quickly pass the cyclist.
Solution : Stay vigilant, the cyclist is not very visible. Drivers must safeguard a person who is at greater risk, especially if that person engages in risky behaviour.
The following statements concern motorized mobility aids. Which statement is true?
52 / 96
Solution : They are hard to see because of their size (width, height). Compared to an automobile, motorized mobility aids are smaller, narrower and lower. In addition, their operators are seated, which makes them harder to see than a person standing.
A three-wheel motorized mobility aid is on the street ahead of you. Can you pass it?
53 / 96
i j k l m n Yes, at all times, by using the left lane. j k l m n Yes, if there is enough room to pass it safely. j k l m n No, never.
Solution : Yes, if there is enough room to pass it safely. Passing is allowed, even if the left lane has to be used. However, the driver must make sure the manoeuvre is safe and in accordance with the rules of the road. For example, no passing in a curve.

Solution : Yes. After staying awake for 17 hours, your physical and mental performance is considerably reduced, all the more so if your blood alcohol level is 0.05 mg/dl.
10 / 36
Solution : all drivers. Although all drivers are subject to fatigue, the problem affects especially professional drivers, workers on irregular schedules, young drivers under 30 and persons with undiagnosed or untreated sleep disorders.
11 / 36
Solution : more sleep. Young adults from 16 to 19 need more sleep because they are in an accelerated physical, mental and emotional growth phase.
Is drinking a very strong coffee the best means of erasing the effects of driver fatigue?
12 / 36
Solution : No. Drinking coffee or energy drinks can contribute to a feeling of alertness, but the effects are short-lived.
When you are tired, how much does drinking a glass or two of alcohol compromise your driving ability?
13 / 36
Solution : Greatly. Vulnerability to accidents is greatly increased when alcohol or drugs are consumed.
When you are tired, can you easily evaluate just how tired you are?
14 / 36
Solution : No. Most drivers overestimate their state of vigilance and underestimate their state of fatigue. Fatigue adversely affects judgment.
15 / 36
When, during the day, is the risk of fatigue-related accidents the highest?
16 / 36
i j k l m n At night, from midnight to 6 a.m. j k l m n In the morning, from 8 a.m. to noon. j k l m n In the afternoon, from 1 p.m. to 3 or 4 p.m.
Solution : At night, from midnight to 6 a.m. Fatigue-related accidents are most likely to occur at night, from midnight to 6 a.m.
17 / 36
i j k l m n greater at night. j k l m n the same during the day and night. j k l m n greater during the day after meals.
Solution : greater at night. Drowsiness is 8 times more frequent at night than during the day.
Does the monotony of the road (as in the case of an autoroute) increase the risk of falling asleep at the wheel?
18 / 36
19 / 36
Solution : Yes. Fatigue causes slower reflexes and longer reaction times, thus impairing driving ability.
After breakfast at a restaurant, you bring your coffee with you to drink while driving. Is this a problem?

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
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.
4 / 22
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.
5 / 22
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
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
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 calls for anticipation. j k l m n enables you to reduce your safety margin. j k l m n allows you to avoid making a full stop at stop signs.
Solution : calls for anticipation. Keep en eye on the vehicle ahead of you, but also on the one ahead of it, and even on the other vehicles farther ahead when traffic is heavy. That way, you will anticipate slowdowns and avoid sudden braking.
11 / 22
i j k l m n Shift gears by listening to the sound of the motor. j k l m n Do some underspeed gear shifting. j k l m n Do some overspeed gear shifting.
Solution : Shift gears by listening to the sound of the motor. Underspeed and overspeed handling leads to excessive fuel consumption. Underspeed handling stresses a motor; overspeed handling consumes fuel uselessly.
12 / 22
i j k l m n 1, 2 j k l m n 2, 3 j k l m n3
Solution : 1, 2 In addition to observance of speed limits, eco-driving calls for anticipation with regard to observation and safety margins.

i j k l m n the more fuel you consume. j k l m n the more time you save. j k l m n the more you show off your driving skills.
Solution : the more fuel you consume. Contrary to popular belief, you save very little time. One thing is sure though, you consume much more fuel.
14 / 22
i j k l m n the more fuel you consume. j k l m n the more you show others that you are a good
driver.
Solution : the more fuel you consume. Sudden braking consumes much more fuel. For your safety and that of others, go easy on the brake pedal!
15 / 22
Solution : An increase in fuel consumption. Impatient driving increases fuel consumption and may contribute to premature brake and tire wear. Contrary to popular belief, you save very little time.
16 / 22
i j k l m n An eco-driver combines several short trips into one. j k l m n An impatient or performance driving style aimed at
