Answer 2

30. Answer – D (115)There were 6,425 bicycle crashes in Florida in 2012. Out of these 6,425 crashes, there were 116 fatalities; 35 of these fatalities involve cyclists who had been consuming alcohol; 95 of these cyclists were not wearing a bicycle helmet.


31. Answer – B. FalseWhile driving, increasing speed is not an option in carrying out a decided-upon action. Such actions range from changing lanes when approaching a parked vehicle on the side of the roadway, entering an intersection, executing an emergency avoidance maneuver, and so on.

32. Answer – B. (Driving at a speed that makes your stopping distance longer than the distance illuminated by your headlights)When a driver is said to be overdriving his or her headlights, it means that the driver is moving at a speed rate that makes his or her stopping distance longer than the distance that can be seen with the headlights

33. Answer – TrueIf your brakes fail, pumping the brake pedal may build up enough brake fluid pressure to restore your brakes enough to come to a stop. If after pumping about three to four times, the brakes don’t work, it’s advisable to make use of the parking brake.
34. Answer – TrueWhile driving, weather conditions may affect your predictions because weather conditions can change the conditions of the roads on which you drive. In poor weather conditions (like when there is rain, fog, ice, snow etc.), It is advisable to adjust your driving behavior in order to increase your safety.

35. Answer – D. (all of the above)Animals, Pedestrians, and Bicyclists are all considered as examples of roadside hazard. Roadside hazard accidents happen in both urban and rural areas but they happen more commonly and are mostly a problem on rural roads.

36. Answer – B. (Driving in the late afternoon hours and driving for longer times without taking a break)According to guidelines given by the National Household Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) on drowsy driving, getting sufficient sleep and limiting driving between midnight and 6a.m significantly reduces the risk of having a sleep-related traffic crash. It is also stated in the guidelines that most sleep-related crashes occur in the late afternoon/night or early morning, therefore driving in the late afternoon hours and driving for longer times without taking a break increases the risk of having a sleep-related traffic crash.
37. Answer – TrueEven the most skilled drivers are affected by alcohol as it compromises the cognitive skills of the driver, particularly the ability to follow moving objects thus risking the life of the driver himself and the lives of others as well. Therefore, a person cannot afford to increase the risk of driving by having his or her skills reduced by alcohol.

38. Answer – TrueAfter purchasing a child safety seat, it is advisable to read the installation instructions. It is also advisable to carefully go through the vehicle owner manual instructions regarding safety belts. Failure to do any of these could result in serious injury or death as a result of improper installation of the child safety seat.

39. Answer – C (Airbags)According to traffic safety facts given by the National Household Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) after conducting a National Occupant Protection Use Survey, Airbags, combined with lap/shoulder safety belts, offer the most effective safety protection available today for passenger vehicle occupants.
40. Answer – B (45 MPH)It has been reported that three out of four vehicle accidents happen at a speed of 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour) or less and they occur within 25 miles (40 kilometers) from home.
