It will take the average driver driving at 50 mph about _____ feet to come to a stop on a dry surface.
- A.
250
- B.
75
- C.
50
Correct Answer
A. 250Explanation
On a dry surface, it takes the average driver driving at 50 mph about 250 feet to come to a stop. This is because the stopping distance is influenced by various factors such as reaction time, braking ability, and the condition of the road. The faster the speed, the longer the distance required to stop. Therefore, at higher speeds, it takes more time and distance to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.Rate this question:

The occupants of a vehicle not wearing a seat belt, traveling at a speed of 60 m.p.h. and striking a fixed object will:
- A.
Stop when the vehicle stops
- B.
Be protected from any injuries
- C.
Continue to travel at 60 m.p.h. until something stops them
Correct Answer
C. Continue to travel at 60 m.p.h. until something stops themExplanation
When a vehicle strikes a fixed object at a speed of 60 m.p.h., the occupants who are not wearing seat belts will continue to move forward at the same speed until something stops them. This is due to the concept of inertia, which states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, the occupants will continue to travel at 60 m.p.h. until they are stopped by the impact of the collision or any other external force.Rate this question:

A person riding a bicycle in the roadway must:
- A.
Ride on the left side of the roadway, facing traffic
- B.
Ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practical
- C.
Both of the above
Correct Answer
B. Ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practicalExplanation
A person riding a bicycle in the roadway must ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practical. This is because it allows for better visibility and predictability for both the cyclist and other road users. Riding on the left side of the roadway, facing traffic, would increase the risk of accidents as it goes against the flow of traffic and makes it difficult for drivers to anticipate the cyclist's movements. Therefore, the correct option is to ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practical.Rate this question:
