▢ faster tire wear

▢ improved fuel economy

▢ reduced stopping distance

▢ all of the beforementioned

Question 4 - Diagnostic Test

(A) When the road is wet, worn or bald tires can increase stopping distance and make turning more difficult. Unbalanced tires and low tire pressure result in faster tire wear and reduced fuel economy, as well as making the vehicle more difficult to steer and stop.

▢ from the right, with no oncoming traffic turning right into your path

▢ interchange

▢ intersection

▢ exit ramp

▢ entrance ramp

Question 7 - Diagnostic Test

(A) An interchange is a road junction where two or more roads cross over one another such that traffic movement is not impeded. The roads are instead linked by a series of linking ramps. These ramps allow you to safely exit one route and enter another without interfering with traffic flow. Interchanges include diamond, cloverleaf, and folded diamond, among others.

Your blood alcohol content (BAC) is determined by

▢ your degree of fitness

▢ your height

▢ the type of alcohol you've consumed

▢ the quantity of alcohol you've consumed

Question 8 - Diagnostic Test

(D) Different types of drinks have no different effects on you. It is the amount of alcohol you consume that elevates your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and impairs your driving ability, not whether it is in beer, wine, or liquor.

▢ Get plenty of rest beforehand

▢ Take medications to help you stay awake

Question 9 - Diagnostic Test

(D) Avoid alcohol and medications (prescription or over-the-counter) that may impair your driving ability. Stimulants may momentarily increase your alertness, but they can also reduce your attention span. Furthermore, as the stimulant wears off, you may feel even more weary and drowsy than before you took it. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any drugs.

▢ Check that your wheels are straight

▢ Turn your front wheels towards left

▢ Proceed with caution

▢ To make more room, reverse the process

Question 11 - Diagnostic Test

(A) To exit a parallel parking space, you must reverse to make room in front of you. However, if you do not initially straighten your front wheels, the curb may prevent you from reversing.

Question 12 - Diagnostic Test

If a vehicle passes you on the left, you should _________ until the vehicle has safely passed you.

▢ reduce your speed and keep to the left

▢ pull over and come to a complete stop

▢ slow down slightly while remaining centered in your lane

▢ increase your speed while remaining to the right

Question 12 - Diagnostic Test

(C) If another vehicle passes you on the left, slow down slightly and stay in your lane until the car has safely past you and is ahead of you. Then, and only then, should you resume your normal pace.

Question 13 - Diagnostic Test

You should generally keep your hands on the steering wheel at _______ while driving.

▢ the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions

▢ the ten o'clock and three o'clock positions

▢ the ten o'clock and two o'clock positions

▢ the 9 and 2 o'clock positions

Question 13 - Diagnostic Test

(A) Generally, you should keep your hands on the steering wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Some manufacturers, however, recommend keeping your hands at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock. To find out which position is optimal for your car, consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer. Nota bene: For many years, the preferred positions were 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. However, in current cars with airbags, these positions can be perilous. The driver's airbag rapidly deploys from the steering wheel. If your hands are high on the steering wheel, the deploying airbag may drive them into your face.

▢ After yielding to pedestrians and vehicles in the junction, you may turn left

▢ You are not permitted to turn left

▢ After yielding to oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and vehicles in the junction, you may turn left

▢ Only if there is a constant green light can you turn left

Question 15 - Diagnostic Test

(A) You can turn left if you see a persistent green arrow. This is a protected turn, which means that oncoming traffic is halted at a red light, while the green arrow is illuminated for you. However, before turning, you must still yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the junction.
