16. The rear of your vehicle begins to slide sideways on a slippery surface. What is the correct correction?

-
18. You are approaching a traffic light that has been green for a long time. How should you treat it?

A light that has been green for a while is called a stale green light. Cover the brake and decide in advance where you could still stop safely.

19. A deer has just crossed in front of you on a stretch signed for animal crossings. What is the best assumption?
Show answer

21. In a vehicle with automatic transmission, which foot should operate the brake and accelerator?

-
22. Your vehicle does not have antilock brakes and you must stop quickly on a slippery road. What is the correct technique?
