  • 2. 

    Because of the size and weight of a loaded van, it is more difficult to stop than a car traveling at the same speed.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A loaded van is heavier and larger than a car, which means it has more momentum and inertia. This makes it more difficult for the van to stop compared to a car traveling at the same speed. The additional weight and size of the van require more force and distance to bring it to a complete stop, making the statement true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which of the following times should you avoid being on the road, because of an elevated risk of drunk drivers and falling asleep at the wheel?

    • 9 a.m. - noon

    • 4 p.m - 9 p.m.

    • 1:30 a.m. - 5 a.m.

    • 6:30 p.m. - 10 p.m.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1:30 a.m. - 5 a.m.
    Explanation
    During the time period of 1:30 a.m. - 5 a.m., there is an elevated risk of encountering drunk drivers and falling asleep at the wheel. This is because it is late at night and early in the morning, when many people are returning from parties, bars, or late-night events. These individuals may have consumed alcohol and are more likely to be impaired while driving. Additionally, the early morning hours are when most people are naturally drowsy and tired, increasing the likelihood of falling asleep while driving.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    1. Which of the following is not a responsibility of a certified van driver?

    • Complying with all applicable traffic laws, ordinances and regulations

    • Have a valid driver’s license and have it in your possession while driving

    • Checking the fluids and filling the tires with air before leaving on a trip

    • Ensuring that all of your passengers are seat belted before you drive

    Correct Answer
    A. Checking the fluids and filling the tires with air before leaving on a trip
    Explanation
    The responsibility of checking the fluids and filling the tires with air before leaving on a trip is not listed as a responsibility of a certified van driver. The other options, such as complying with traffic laws, having a valid driver's license, and ensuring that passengers are seat belted, are all responsibilities that a certified van driver should have.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the following distance rule for following another vehicle in a van in good weather conditions?

    • Two seconds

    • Four seconds

    • Ten seconds

    • Eight seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. Four seconds
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Four seconds. This following distance rule states that a driver should maintain a minimum distance of four seconds behind the vehicle in front of them when driving a van in good weather conditions. This allows for enough time to react and stop safely in case of any sudden changes or emergencies on the road. It is important to maintain a safe following distance to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is not an appropriate emergency procedure?

    • Notify campus police and your van coordinator of the accident as soon as possible

    • If in an accident, discuss the accident with the other driver to determine who is at fault

    • Record witness information if someone witnesses the accident, ask for his/her name, address, and telephone number

    • Turn your emergency flashers on and shut off the engine

    Correct Answer
    A. If in an accident, discuss the accident with the other driver to determine who is at fault
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "If in an accident, discuss the accident with the other driver to determine who is at fault." This is not an appropriate emergency procedure because determining fault is the responsibility of insurance companies and authorities, not the individuals involved in the accident. It is important to prioritize safety and follow proper protocols, such as notifying campus police and recording witness information, rather than engaging in discussions about fault at the scene of the accident.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because it clearly states that students, regardless of age, are not allowed to transport or consume alcohol in a Smith vehicle. It also mentions that violators will be referred to the Dean of Students, indicating that there are consequences for breaking this rule.

    • Hitchhikers

    • Your friends from the Five colleges

    • Northamtpon community members

    • Five-College students who are members of a Smith organization

    Correct Answer
    A. Five-College students who are members of a Smith organization
    Explanation
    Only Five-College students who are members of a Smith organization are able to ride in Smith vans. This means that individuals who are not Five-College students or not members of a Smith organization are not eligible to ride in Smith vans.

    • J-Term

    • Winter break

    • Finals week

    • After 6 p.m. on the last day of classes

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    How many days in advance are you required to request an SGA van?

    • At least 3 days

    • At least 10 days

    • At least 24 hours

    • At least 7 days

    Correct Answer
    A. At least 7 days
    Explanation
    The correct answer is at least 7 days. This means that if someone wants to request an SGA van, they need to do so at least 7 days before the desired date. This allows enough time for the SGA to make the necessary arrangements and ensure the availability of the van. Requesting less than 7 days in advance may result in the unavailability of the van or logistical issues.

  • 11. 

    What are the steps to reserving an SGA van?

    • Calling the SGA office and directly reserving one through the SGA staff or van coordinator

    • Emailing [email protected] with your van drivers listed

    • Using the "events" section of the Smith Social Network to fill out the Van Request Form

    • Coming into the office and asking for the van keys

    Correct Answer
    A. Using the "events" section of the Smith Social Network to fill out the Van Request Form
    Explanation
    To reserve an SGA van, you need to use the "events" section of the Smith Social Network to fill out the Van Request Form. This suggests that the SGA has a specific process in place for van reservations, which involves submitting a request form through the Smith Social Network. This method is likely preferred because it allows for easy tracking and organization of van reservations. Calling the SGA office or emailing [email protected] are also mentioned as possible ways to reserve a van, but the answer emphasizes the use of the Van Request Form on the Smith Social Network.

    Explanation
    The correct answer states that the SGA van key and paperwork can be picked up between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at the Facilities Customer Service Desk. This means that the key and paperwork are only available on weekdays and during specific hours.

By having your headlights on, other drivers on the road can easily see your vehicle, reducing the risk of accidents. It is important to follow this rule to comply with Massachusetts traffic laws and promote safe driving practices.
