To avoid the risk of an accident when being followed closely by a vehicle, it is important to increase the distance from the vehicle in front.

-
30 metres
Correct Answer
A. 23 metresExplanation
The typical stopping distance for a vehicle traveling at 30mph is 23 metres. Stopping distance is the total distance a vehicle travels from the moment the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It includes both the thinking distance (the distance traveled while the driver reacts to a situation) and the braking distance (the distance traveled while the vehicle is decelerating). The stopping distance increases with higher speeds due to the increased momentum of the vehicle.Rate this question:

How do you minimise the risk of road collision when you are tired?
-
Take sufficient breaks (at least 15 minutes long)
-
Turn the heating up in the car

Pull over on the hard shoulder and take a rest
-
Open the window to get a constant flow of air
Correct Answer(s)
A. Take sufficient breaks (at least 15 minutes long)
A. Open the window to get a constant flow of airExplanation
To minimize the risk of road collision when tired, taking sufficient breaks (at least 15 minutes long) is important as it allows the driver to rest and recharge. Opening the window to get a constant flow of air can also help in staying alert by providing fresh air and preventing drowsiness. By combining these two measures, the driver can reduce the chances of falling asleep at the wheel and maintain focus on the road, thus minimizing the risk of a road collision.Rate this question:

-
Cars
-
Lorrys
-
Motocyclists
-
Cyclists
-
Pedestrians
Correct Answer(s)
A. Motocyclists
A. Cyclists
A. PedestriansExplanation
The most vulnerable road users are motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians. This is because they have less protection compared to cars and lorries. Motorcyclists are more exposed to accidents and have a higher risk of injury due to the lack of a protective shell around them. Similarly, cyclists and pedestrians are more susceptible to accidents as they have limited protection and are more likely to suffer severe injuries in collisions with vehicles.Rate this question:
