    When pulling over, what acronym do you need to remember?

    • POM - prepare observe manoeuvre

    • MSM - mirrors signal manoeuvre

    • LADA - look asses decide act

    • OUT - over under through

    Correct Answer
    A. 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
    A. 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.

    • Neutral, handbrake, cancel the signal

    • Neutral, signal, handbrake

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When would you use a signal?

    • If there are cars behind you

    • You never need a signal

    • 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

    • Only if there are cars coming towards you

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

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

    • One meter from the left

    • In the middle of the carriageway

    • One meter from the central hazard lines

    • It doesnt matter

    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.

  • 7. 

    Would you need a signal to pull over?

    • Yes, always

    • No, never

    • If there is someone to benefit

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    How do you observe?

    • Look out of the rear window, the side windows and then forward

    • Check all 3 mirrors

    • Check your interior mirror, right door mirror and then your blind spot

    • Check interior mirror, right door mirror, blind spot and then rear window

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

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.
