Correct Answer(s)
B. Reduces fuel economy
C. Causes the vehicle to be harder to steer and stop and may cause hydroplaning
D. Increases the chance of a flat tire during a tripExplanation
Worn tires on a vehicle can cause a decrease in fuel economy because the tread on the tires is reduced, resulting in more friction and resistance on the road. Additionally, worn tires can make the vehicle harder to steer and stop because there is less traction, increasing the risk of hydroplaning. Lastly, worn tires are more prone to punctures and blowouts, increasing the chance of a flat tire during a trip.Rate this question:

- D.
Ask your parents for help
Correct Answer
C. Using a penny, check the location of Abe Lincolns head between the tire groovesExplanation
Checking the location of Abe Lincoln's head between the tire grooves using a penny is a common method to determine if tire pressure is correct. If Lincoln's head is completely visible, it indicates that the tire tread is worn and the tire needs to be replaced. If Lincoln's head is partially covered, it suggests that the tire has enough tread and the tire pressure is likely correct. This method is a quick and easy way to visually assess tire pressure without the need for specialized tools or equipment.Rate this question:

This is because having good visibility allows drivers to anticipate and react to potential hazards on the road, such as pedestrians or other vehicles. Being able to see clearly also helps drivers to navigate safely through different driving conditions, such as bad weather or low light situations. Therefore, maintaining clear visibility is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring overall road safety.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Driver, front seat passengers and all children under the age of fifteenExplanation
According to Arkansas law, the passengers who must use a safety belt are the driver, front seat passengers, and all children under the age of fifteen. This means that all individuals sitting in the front seat and any child below the age of fifteen, regardless of their seating position, are required to wear a safety belt. The answer option stating "Only minor children, excluding pick up trucks older than 1976 models" is incorrect as it does not include the requirement for front seat passengers and does not apply to all children under the age of fifteen.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Children under age six
B. Children weighing less than sixty pounds regardless of ageExplanation
Children under age six and children weighing less than sixty pounds regardless of age must be secured in an approved safety seat. This is because children under age six are generally not yet able to properly use adult seat belts and need the additional protection provided by a safety seat. Similarly, children weighing less than sixty pounds may not have reached the height or weight requirements to properly use adult seat belts, so they also need to be secured in a safety seat.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Come to a stop if the stop can be made safely before entering the intersection
C. If the driver is in the middle of the intersection, the driver must not stop, but proceed.Explanation
When a driver sees a continuous yellow traffic light, they must come to a stop if it can be done safely before entering the intersection. This is because a yellow light indicates that the signal is about to turn red, and it is necessary to stop to avoid entering the intersection when the light changes. However, if the driver is already in the middle of the intersection when the light turns yellow, they must proceed and not stop, as it would be unsafe to come to a sudden stop in the middle of traffic.Rate this question:

Never use the emergency break
- C.
Leave hazards on if only parking for 10 minutes or less
- D.
Turn the wheels sharply away from traffic
- E.
Try to park on the sidewalk so that you are clear of oncoming traffic
Correct Answer
D. Turn the wheels sharply away from trafficExplanation
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the wheels sharply away from traffic. This is done to prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail. Turning the wheels away from traffic will cause the vehicle to roll towards the curb or the side of the road, reducing the risk of accidents. It is also important to note that using the emergency brake is necessary when parking on a hill to provide an additional level of safety. Leaving hazards on if only parking for 10 minutes or less is not necessary and parking on the sidewalk is illegal in most places.Rate this question:

When accelerating speed of a vehicle: select one
- A.
Turn the wheels sharply to the left and release the clutch
- B.
Do so smoothly and gradually
- C.
Ensure that the parking brake is still set
Correct Answer
B. Do so smoothly and graduallyExplanation
When accelerating the speed of a vehicle, it is important to do so smoothly and gradually. This means gradually increasing the pressure on the accelerator pedal rather than abruptly pressing it down. By doing so, it allows the vehicle's engine to adjust and deliver power to the wheels in a controlled manner, preventing any sudden jerks or loss of control. This smooth and gradual acceleration also helps in maintaining stability and reducing wear and tear on the vehicle's components.Rate this question:

What is one of the leading causes of accidents: select one
- A.
Changing lanes
- B.
Not looking ahead
- C.
Assuming that a train is not coming
Correct Answer
C. Assuming that a train is not comingExplanation
One of the leading causes of accidents is assuming that a train is not coming. This means that many accidents occur when drivers fail to properly assess the presence of a train at a railroad crossing. This assumption can be dangerous and result in collisions with trains, leading to severe accidents and injuries. It is crucial for drivers to always exercise caution and never assume that a train is not approaching.Rate this question:

When crossing a railroad track, with more than one track, when is it safe to cross: choose one
- A.
When the railroad barriers are lifted
- B.
As soon as the caboose of the train passes
- C.
When the passing train has completely cleared the area and the driver can determine that another train isnt coming
- D.
Using the looking ahead rule, 15 seconds after the train goes by
Correct Answer
C. When the passing train has completely cleared the area and the driver can determine that another train isnt comingExplanation
It is safe to cross a railroad track with more than one track when the passing train has completely cleared the area and the driver can determine that another train isn't coming. This means that the driver should wait until all trains have passed and there is no immediate danger of another train approaching before crossing the tracks. Simply waiting for the railroad barriers to be lifted or for the caboose to pass may not guarantee that it is safe to cross, as there could still be another train approaching on a different track. Using the "looking ahead" rule, waiting for 15 seconds after the train goes by, is not a reliable method to determine if it is safe to cross.Rate this question:
