Sample questions

Three questions from the Avoiding Collisions and Emergency Situations bank with the correct answer and an explanation. The practice quiz above draws 30 questions at random from the same bank.

  1. When it looks like a collision may happen, what three options do you have to avoid it?

    • Brake, steer or accelerate — Correct answer
    • Honk, flash your lights or shout
    • Close your eyes and brace for impact
    • Shift into reverse, brake or coast

    Explanation: In avoiding a collision you have three options: brake, steer or accelerate. There is usually something you can do to avoid the crash or reduce its impact rather than panicking and freezing.

  2. With an anti-lock braking system (ABS), how should you brake to stop quickly?

    • Press the pedal as hard as you can and keep pressing — Correct answer
    • Pump the pedal rapidly several times
    • Press the pedal gradually and gently
    • Press once, then release and coast

    Explanation: With ABS, press on the brake pedal as hard as you can and keep pressing it. Do not let up — the ABS will only work with the brake pedal pushed down fully.

  3. While braking hard with ABS, you feel the brake pedal pushing back against your foot. What does this mean?

    • The ABS is working normally; keep pressing — Correct answer
    • The brakes have failed; release the pedal
    • You are pressing too hard; ease off
    • The wheels have locked; pump the pedal

    Explanation: You might feel the brake pedal pushing back when the ABS is working — that is normal. Do not let up on the pedal.
