Depending on the situation, you can do one of these 3 things to prevent a collision:
stop, steer away or speed up
. Read the Collision Avoidance section to learn about the circumstances, when you can apply one or another technique and their advantages and disadvantages.
What type of collision can you avoid by speeding up?
What type of collision could you avoid by speeding up?
A rear-end or broadside collision
.
Which of the following is a way to avoid the consequences of an impending crash?
Which of the following is a way to avoid the consequences of an impending crash? All choices are correct (Avoid head-on collisions, hit something soft instead of hard, or something still instead of moving to minimize an impending crash.) To avoid single vehicle crashes,
use your brake systems and steering
.
When approaching a flooded area What is the correct response aceable?
The best thing you can do to protect yourself and your car when there’s a flood is to follow this advice:
Turn Around, Don’t Drown
(TADD). If you come upon a roadway that appears to be flooded, DON’T try to drive through it.
Which of the following could cause you to lose traction on the road?
Tire traction is constantly changing depending on the quality of the road. If the surface of the road is too smooth, too rough, too wet or too dry, your
tires
can lose traction. Damaged and uneven road surfaces can adversely affect traction, as can sand and gravel.
Where are your chances highest for a collision?
7 – Statistically speaking, your chances of collision are highest: Answer: B.
Intersections
. Crashes often occur at intersections because there are a variety of activities such as turning left, crossing over, turning right, red camera lights, and pedestrians causing a higher possibility for conflicts.
How can we prevent side impact collisions?
When you are faced with the threat of a side impact crash, you should:
Brake or accelerate quickly
– whichever seems more likely to prevent or lessen the force of the impact. Look for a possible escape route – possibly in another lane or off the roadway.
What are the four steps to successful passing?
- Scan for hazards, e.g., oncoming vehicles, vehicles approaching from rear, merging vehicles;
- Check for blind spots;
- Signal your intention and accelerate into passing lane;
- Accelerate quickly to an appropriate speed;
- Concentrate on the path ahead;
- Check the mirror for following cars.
What is the first thing you should do after a collision?
After the car accident, immediately determine whether anyone is injured. If so,
call 911 to get an ambulance and police on the scene
. Even if the incident was minor and everyone is cooperative, consider calling the police. That way you’ll have an official report to give to your insurance company.
What is the best form of protection for a rear end collision?
Air bags and seat belts
are the best protection. If you slow down the force of impact will be less. Some of the causes of such a collision are unsafe passing and driving on the wrong side of the road.
What should you do if you come upon a flooded area?
If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you. “Turn around, don’t drown!” If you come upon a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, stop, turn around and
go another way
. People underestimate the force and power of water.
Why do you need to continuously slow down and stop in a city environment?
Why do you need to continuously slow down and stop in a city environment?
Because of drastic changes in traffic flow and numerous traffic lights
. You just studied 15 terms!
What is one of the steps you should take while skidding aceable?
Keep your foot of the pedals
. 3. Gently steer in the direction you want to go- don’t oversteer or jerk the wheel too quickly. Now you can be confident and ready to react if you begin to skid.
What are 3 factors that can cause a loss of traction?
The causes of skidding (loss of traction) can be divided into three groups:
(1) conditions of the road, (2) conditions of the vehicle, and (3) actions of the driver
. Ice, snow, or frost.
What are 5 adverse conditions that affect traction?
Rain, snow tread wear, improper inflation, speed and road surface
all affect tire traction. Visibility, as described earlier, pertains to what you can and cannot see around you.
What are the factors which affecting traction?
Factors considered in this paper are:
tread design and compound, tire construction, inflation pressure, road surface, tire load, and temperature
.
