3. What are you lookig for in your left door mirror before pulling over?

Submit
4. Once you stop, what is should you do next?

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.

Submit
5. When would you use a signal?

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.

Submit
6. After you have moved away, what is your ideal driving position?

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.

Submit
7. Would you need a signal to pull over?

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.

Submit
8. How do you observe?

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.

Submit
9. What is the acronym you need to remember for moving off?

Explanation

The correct answer is POM - prepare observe manoeuvre. This acronym is used to remember the steps involved in moving off safely. Before moving off, it is important to prepare by adjusting mirrors and seat position, observe the surroundings for any potential hazards, and then execute the manoeuvre by signaling and gradually accelerating. 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.

10. When moving away on a hill, what should you do differently?

Explanation

When moving away on a hill, you should apply more gas and more bite.

By doing so, you will provide enough power to the wheels and maintain control while moving uphill.
