ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Two types of weight shift (Transfer) - CORRECT ANSWER -Longitudinal and lateral
What is longitudinal weight transfer? - CORRECT ANSWER -Happens when the car is
accelerating or braking. Creates more rolling friction.
What is lateral weight transfer? - CORRECT ANSWER -occurs when the vehicle turns
What can create less lateral weight transfer and more control of the vehicle? - CORRECT
ANSWER -Smooth steering
What is centrifugal force? - CORRECT ANSWER -pulls a moving object outward from
the center of rotation
What is centripetal force? - CORRECT ANSWER -pull a moving object inward toward
the center of rotation
What is the most critical factor is motor vehicle operations? - CORRECT ANSWER -The
driver (They account for 90% of all MV crashes)
Correct seating position - CORRECT ANSWER --Seated upright with shoulders against
the seat
-upper arms rest against rib cage with elbow at a slight bend
-correct steering wheel hand position to ensure good line of sight to the road
-heel is on floor board between gas and brake pedals
-rest left foot on the dead pedal on the far left
, correct hand positioning for high and low speed driving tasks - CORRECT ANSWER -3
& 9 o'clock
correct hand positioning for tight, low speed turns - CORRECT ANSWER -hand-over-
hand
correct hand positioning for backing up - CORRECT ANSWER -one hand
What does ESC (Electronic Stability Control) do? - CORRECT ANSWER -When turned
on, integrates vehicles ABS, traction control, and yaw control systems to control vehicle when
lateral forces exceed surface friction, speeds exceed the threshold, or the vehicle begins to slide
/skid.
What is threshold braking? - CORRECT ANSWER -used to reduce speed or stop the
vehicle as quickly as possible with minimal steering adjustment.
How can you perform a threshold brake? - CORRECT ANSWER -apply and maintain the
maximum amount of pedal pressure without activating ABS, locking up the wheels, or skidding.
Gradually release brake pressure as needed to avoid ABS activation or skidding.
Over-steering - CORRECT ANSWER -vehicles rear tires lose traction and skid to the
outside of a turn
What can cause over-steer? - CORRECT ANSWER --improper air tire pressure
-braking too hard into a turn
-abruptly releasing accelerator going into turn
-turning too sharp or fast to cause unnecessary lateral weight transfer
How to correct over-steer - CORRECT ANSWER --ease off the throttle
