0810. What is a vehicle’s “stopping distance”?
  • The distance covered by the vehicle as of the moment in which the driver reacts to the risk until he steps on the brake pedal.
  • The required distance for stopping at a certain speed.
  • The distance covered by the vehicle from the beginning of braking until the vehicle stops.
  • The distance covered by the vehicle from the time that the driver identifies the risk ahead of him until the vehicle stops.

0811. What are the components of the stopping distance?
  • The sum of the braking distance and the gap from the vehicle in front.
  • The average of the driver’s braking distance and reaction distance.
  • The sum of the reaction time and of the braking distance.
  • The sum of the decision distance and the execution distance of a reasonable driver.

0812. The driver’s reaction distance is the distance covered by the vehicle:
  • From the moment the driver steps on the brake pedal until the vehicle makes a complete stop.
  • From the moment the driver identifies the danger ahead until the moment he begins to react to the danger.
  • From the initial reaction until the end of the vehicle’s braking.
  • From the moment the driver identifies the risk ahead until the vehicle makes a complete stop.

0813. The vehicle’s braking distance is the distance covered by the vehicle:
  • From the moment of identifying the risk until the vehicle starts to brake.
  • From the moment the driver identifies the risk ahead until the vehicle makes a complete stop.
  • From the moment the driver identifies the risk ahead until he starts stepping on the brake pedal.
  • From the moment the driver steps on the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

0814. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front of us is required:
  • Only when the driver is very tired and his responses are not quick enough.
  • In order to drive in the correct lane and at a proper speed.
  • In high speeds only and during stormy weather conditions.
  • In order to prevent a rear-end collision when the vehicle in front stops or slows down.

0815. What is the distance we are required to keep from the vehicle in front of us while driving?
  • Any distance that allows us to see the back wheels of the vehicle in front of us while driving.
  • Any distance that always allows us to see well what’s happening ahead of the vehicle that is driving in front of us.
  • The required statutory distance in which accident may always be prevented, while taking all the relevant elements into consideration.
  • A distance which prevents entry of other vehicles in it.

0816. What effect does keeping distance have on the driver’s field of vision?
  • Keeping distance has no connection to the driver’s field of vision.
  • Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision while driving in high speeds and during stormy weather conditions only.
  • The greater is the distance we keep from the vehicle in front, the better is our field of vision.
  • Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision during traffic congestion only (“traffic jams”).

0817. What effect does driving whilst keeping proper distance from the vehicle in front has on the vehicle’s fuel consumption and wear?
  • It is required to keep a proper distance to prevent accidents only, and it has no effect on the vehicle’s wear or fuel consumption.
  • The shorter is the distance kept from the vehicle in front, the lower are both brake wear and fuel consumption.
  • In order to keep proper distance from the vehicle in front you are required to constantly use the brakes, and therefore it causes quick brake wear.
  • When proper distance is kept – brake wear and engine fuel consumption are reduced,

0818. What characterizes a state of driving in which proper distance from the vehicle in front is kept?
  • Driving that requires constant distance adjustments, according to the road’s conditions, and which is exhausting for the driver.
  • Less stressed and relaxed driving, which doesn’t cause tiredness, and prevents risks.
  • Keeping distance has no effect on the character of driving.
  • A state of driving which encourages other drivers to enter into the distance which is kept in front.

0819. What is a driver always required to do when another vehicle “sits on his tail”?
  • Step on the brake pedal abruptly and continuously.
  • Verify that the distance he keeps from the vehicle driving in front will allow him to brake moderately and avoid the risk of a collision from behind.
  • You have nothing to do. The one driving behind is always found guilty in case of an accident.
  • Accelerate immediately and increase the distance from the vehicle behind.
