This acronym serves as a helpful reminder for drivers to follow these steps in the correct order to ensure a safe start to their journey.
2.
How do you prepare?
Correct Answer
A. Select 1st gear, set the gas and find the bite
Explanation
The correct answer is "Select 1st gear, set the gas and find the bite." This answer provides a clear and concise explanation of the steps involved in preparing to drive a vehicle. It highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate gear, setting the gas, and finding the bite, which refers to finding the point where the clutch engages with the engine. These steps are crucial in ensuring a smooth start and proper control of the vehicle.

How do you observe?
Correct Answer
C. Check your interior mirror, right door mirror and then your blind spot
Explanation
The correct answer is to check your interior mirror, right door mirror, and then your blind spot. This is the correct sequence for observing while driving. By checking the interior mirror first, you can get a general view of what is happening behind your vehicle. Then, by checking the right door mirror, you can specifically see what is happening on the right side of your vehicle. Finally, by checking your blind spot, which is the area not visible in your mirrors, you can ensure that there are no vehicles or obstacles in that area before making any maneuvers.

When would you use a signal?
Correct Answer
C. When you see someone who would benefit from a signal, but not putting it on if the cars behind are too close as they may slow down
Explanation
The correct answer is when you see someone who would benefit from a signal, but not putting it on if the cars behind are too close as they may slow down. This answer suggests that using a signal is appropriate when there is someone who would benefit from it, such as pedestrians or other drivers, but it is not necessary to use it if there are cars behind that are too close, as it may cause them to slow down abruptly. This emphasizes the importance of considering the safety and impact on other drivers when deciding to use a signal.

When moving away on a hill, what should you do differently?
Correct Answer
D. More gas and more bite
Explanation
When moving away on a hill, you should apply more gas and more bite. This means that you should increase the pressure on the accelerator pedal (more gas) and engage the clutch more firmly (more bite) to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. By doing so, you will provide enough power to the wheels and maintain control while moving uphill.

When moving away from behind another car you need
Correct Answer
C. Less gas and less bite
Explanation

7.
After you have moved away, what is your ideal driving position?
Correct Answer
A. One meter from the left
Explanation
The ideal driving position after moving away would be one meter from the left. This position allows for a safe distance from the central hazard lines and provides a buffer zone from oncoming traffic. Being slightly to the left also enables better visibility of the road ahead and any potential obstacles or hazards.

When pulling over, what acronym do you need to remember?
Correct Answer
B. MSM - mirrors signal manoeuvre
Explanation
The correct answer is MSM - mirrors signal manoeuvre. This acronym is used to remind drivers of the correct sequence of actions when pulling over. It emphasizes the importance of checking mirrors, indicating the intention to pull over, and then executing the manoeuvre safely. By using this acronym, drivers can ensure they are following proper procedure and maintaining safety on the road.

Correct Answer
C. Cyclists
Explanation
Before pulling over, it is important to look for cyclists in your left door mirror. This is because cyclists are vulnerable road users and can easily be missed in blind spots. Checking for cyclists ensures their safety and helps prevent accidents or collisions when pulling over.
11.
Would you need a signal to pull over?
Correct Answer
C. If there is someone to benefit
Explanation
The correct answer is "If there is someone to benefit." This means that if there is someone who would benefit from you pulling over, such as a police officer signaling you to stop or if there is an emergency situation, then you would need a signal to pull over. However, if there is no one to benefit from you pulling over, then you would not need a signal to do so.
12.
Once you stop, what is should you do next?
Correct Answer
B. Handbrake, neutral cancel the signal if you used one
Explanation
After stopping, the next step should be to engage the handbrake to ensure the car remains stationary. Then, the car should be put into neutral to disengage the engine from the wheels. Finally, if a signal was used while stopping, it should be canceled to indicate that the intention to move has changed.
