Questions Bank section: Safety
- The driver’s response time is significantly shortened, and safety is enhanced.
- High speed does not influence the outcome of the accident.
- It causes greater force of collision and a more severe impact on humans and damage to property.
- The driver’s response time is lengthened, and safety is thus enhanced.

- Driving at a speed that allows the driver to perform other actions, which are not essential to driving.
- Driving in a similar speed to that of the other drivers around you.
- Taking account of road and traffic conditions, in a manner that the driver maintains absolute control of the vehicle and can stop safely at all times.
- When the driving speed is determined at the driver’s own discretion, and provided that it doesn’t exceed the statutory speed limit.

- His response time is decreased, and thus his driving becomes more dangerous.
- There is no problem at all: Research work has proven that in high speeds driving is more calm and relaxed.
- The driver has very little time to properly respond to road events.
- The driver's response time is significantly lengthened.

- The higher the vehicle’s speed is, the shorter is its stopping distance.
- There is no relation between them. The stopping distance is constant and does not depend on the vehicle’s speed.
- The slower the vehicle’s speed is, the longer is the braking distance.
- The higher the vehicle’s speed is, the longer is its 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.
| «C1» | «C» | «D» | «A» | «1» | «В» |
- 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.
| «C1» | «C» | «D» | «A» | «1» | «В» |
- 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.
| «C1» | «C» | «D» | «A» | «1» | «В» |
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
