Good ways to manage stress - Answer -Task focused and reappraisal
Bad ways to manage stress - Answer -Avoidance, confrontational, emotional
Driving skills required by law - Answer -Deal with several complicated tasks
simultaneously to a high standard
Spread your attention during a complex drive to be able to deal with conditions in a
systematic way
Build up awareness of the whole environment
Plan accurately and quickly
Anticipate problems based on observation and experience
Remain alert and vigilant to ensure no hazards are overlooked
Factors that influence poor driving standards - Answer -Medical conditions
Stressful situations
Operational pressures
Fatigue
Traffic situations
Driving at night
Driving in difficult weather conditions
Safe use of aux controls is important because - Answer -It limits the time eyes are
taken off the road
The controls should be located without the use of eyes and proficiently operated. At
60mph every second eyes are not on the road the vehicle will travel 30m
Types of braking systems - Answer -EBA
ABS
,Electronic break force distribution
Retarders
EBA Electronic break assist - Answer -When the break peddle is rapidly depressed, the
EBA increases break pressure thus reducing the stopping distance. Works on
assessing the rate at which the pedal was depressed
If the EBA fails the vehicle will still have normal breaking function but stopping distance
might be increased
ABS antilock breaking system - Answer -Enables the driver to steer what vehicle whilst
the breaks are activated without the wheels locking
ABS is designed to be the equivalent of cadence breaking
Electronic break force distribution - Answer -Sensors measure the breaking pressure in
each wheel to improve vehicle handling whilst breaking. It will detect which wheel has
more of less grip and vary the breaking force to the wheels to reduce the risk of skidding
Retarders - Answer -Reduce the workload of breaks and can reduce/eliminate the risk
associated with breaks overheating
Can absorb up to 80% of breaking applications
Traction control systems - Answer -Acceleration skid control/anti-slip regulator
Electronic stability control
Acceleration skid control or anti-slip regulator - Answer -Works by applying power from
the tyres to the road surface for a set period of time
Helps to correct skidding by applying the breaks to individual drive wheels and reducing
engine torque
Should not be switched off
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) - Answer -Helps drivers maintain control of their
vehicle during extreme steering maneuvers, even when the vehicle nears or exceeds
the limits of road traction
Works by breaking individual wheels and reducing power output from the engine to
regain vehicle stability and control
Lane Departure Warning System - Answer -A system of electronic components
(camera or IR sensor) designed to warn a driver when a vehicle strays out of its lane.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) - Answer -Hill-start Assist Control* (HAC) offers an
added measure of security when moving from a stop on a steep hill by preventing the
, vehicle from rolling backward. It functions by gently applying the brakes for two seconds
while the driver moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
cruise control - Answer -allows a driver to select and travel at a set speed and should
not be used on slippery surfaces, when the visibility is poor, city driving or response
driving
Run lock system - Answer -Allows the engine to keep running with the keys not in the
vehicle
Should the vehicle be put into drive/reverse then the engine will cut out without the keys
present
Rule H1 - Answer -It is important for all road users to have an awareness of the
Highway Code. All users must be considerate to other users and understand their
responsibility for the safety of others.
Hierarchy of road users - Answer -The hierarchy is designed to protect the most
vulnerable users
Pedestrians
Cyclists
Horse riders
Motorcyclists
Motor vehicles
Minivan/van
HGV's
Rule H2 - Answer -You must give way to a pedestrian crossing or waiting to cross a
zebra, pelican or parallel crossing
You must give way to pedestrian and cyclists crossing a parallel crossing
Rule H3 - Answer -You should not cut across cyclists, horse riders or hospice drawn
carriages when you are turning into/out of a junction or changing lane
You should wait for a safe gap in the flow of the cyclist when
approaching, passing or moving off from a junction
Moving past or waiting alongside stationary or slow moving traffic
Travelling around a roundabout
HWC Rule 89 - Answer -You must ensure your vehicle and trailer complies with the full
requirements of the road vehicles regulations and road vehicles lighting regulations
(annex 4)
HWC Rule 91 - Answer -Driving whilst tired greatly increases your risk of collision
