j
k
l
m
limit.
j drop him off at a bus stop.
k
l
m
n

m
n
1. Stress
2. Anger j 1 and 2
k
l
m
n
3. Sadness j1
k
l
m
n
Solution : 1, 2, 3
Our emotions can have a major effect on our driving
and, at times, result in unsuspected limitations. Among
other things, they may adversely affect our attention,
judgment and reaction time.
You have just learned some bad news that has made you anxious and depressed. You are
about to leave your house for a meeting with friends. In the circumstances, what is your 3/7
best course of action?
i Wait until your condition has improved before
j
k
l
m
n
driving.
n Do not change your plans; the situation has no
j
k
l
m
incidence on your driving ability.
j Breathing deeply while driving will help you
k
l
m
n
concentrate on the road.
Solution : Wait until your condition has improved before
driving.
It is important for you to evaluate whether your
emotional state allows you to drive safely. Emotions,
especially disagreeable ones, may adversely affect the
concentration needed for driving. For example, when
you are sad, anxious or angry, your thoughts may
become confused and you may run the risk of not
paying attention to your driving environment and of
compromising your safety and that of others.
According to road safety research, what influence does the family environment have on
4/7
driving behaviour?
i Great influence.
j
k
l
m
n
j Slight influence.
k
l
m
n
j No influence.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Great influence.
Family environment is the main influence on the
behaviour of young drivers from 15 to 25 and on their
risk of being involved in an accident. Long before they
are of an age to drive, young passengers observe and
assimilate their parents’ conduct behind the wheel, style
of driving, attitudes, values and emotional reactions in
various situations.
You are driving within the speed limit. A vehicle passes you. One of your passengers asks
5/7
you to accelerate. What is your best course of action?
i Tell your passenger that driving is your concern.
j
k
l
m
n
j Accelerate to please your passenger and avoid
k
l
m
n
impeding traffic.
n Get angry.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Tell your passenger that driving is your
concern.
The driver is the best judge of the situation. If you are
being pressured to take risks, resist, or find a
compromise.
A quarrel breaks out among your passengers. What is your best course of action? 6/7
n Stop by the side of the road.
i
j
k
l
m
n Yell to get them to quiet down immediately.
j
k
l
m
n Do nothing, the quarrel does not concern you.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Stop by the side of the road.
If the passengers hinder your driving, the best thing to
do is find a means of remedying the situation. In this
case, stopping by the side of the road is a means of
breaking the tension.
A heavy rain makes you even more depressed. There is roadwork on almost all the routes
7/7
you take to go to work. In this situation, are there any factors influencing your driving?
i Yes.
j
k
l
m
n
j No, if you are an experienced driver.
k
l
m
n
j No, if you take your antidepressant medication
k
l
m
n
regularly.
Solution : Yes.
Aside from the weather and road conditions, your
physical or mental condition can influence your driving.

hand gesture.
Solution : You refrain from thinking the driver's
intentions were bad.
Road users often see or are the victims of discourteous
or even aggressive behaviour. However, for the safety
of all, and good relations on the road, drivers must avoid
presuming anything about the intentions of other users;
they must give them the benefit of the doubt. After all,
anyone can be distracted, tense or nervous or make a
mistake or a wrong manoeuvre.
A driver is subjected to aggressive behaviour. Which statement or statements below

Solution : None of these statements.
In a situation of aggressive behaviour, one must avoid
making things worse. We do not know the driver of the
other vehicle; neither do we know the driver’s intentions
or in what state he or she is. It is better to remain calm.

to be afraid of.
Solution : Slow down and adapt your driving.
Drivers must always question their driving if a
passenger makes this type of comment. One of the
duties of drivers is to be attentive to the passengers and
ensure their well-being.

j
k
l
m
n for girls and boys.
j
k

n Yes, boys tend to over-estimate their abilities and
i
j
k
l
m
are more likely to be influenced by their friends.
j No, it's just that girls go out less and don’t stay out
k
l
m
n
as late as boys.
n No, young male drivers are often the victims of
j
k
l
m
prejudice.
n No, girls don't report their accidents because they
j
k
l
m
don't want their insurance premiums to go up.

n Use low-beams.
i
j
k
l
m
j Use your high beam.
k
l
m
n
j Use only the hazard lights.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Use low-beams.
High-beams hitting fog could create a bright screen in
front of the vehicle, making driving much more difficult.
Under what circumstance may you experience poor visibility? 4 / 79
n In foggy weather.
i
j
k
l
m
n On a cold day.
j
k
l
m
n On a hot day.
j
k
l
m
Solution : In foggy weather.

5 / 79
skidding, you should:
n slow down by gradually easing off the accelerator.
i
j
k
l
m
j step firmly on the brake pedal.
k
l
m
n
j accelerate, then release the accelerator.
k
l
m
n
Solution : slow down by gradually easing off the
accelerator.
By easing off the accelerator, the engine itself will help
the vehicle slow down.
If it starts raining while you are driving, you must: 6 / 79
i reduce speed slowly, as the road surface may be
j
k
l
m
n
made slippery by the water.
n activate the hazard lights and increase speed to get
j
k
l
m
out of the rainfall area more quickly.
j turn on the headlights for improved visibility.
k
l
m
n
Solution : reduce speed slowly, as the road surface
may be made slippery by the water.
A greater stopping distance is required on a surface
made slippery by rain combining with other substances.
You are driving in strong winds. To keep control of the vehicle, you must: 7 / 79
n slow down and hold the steering wheel firmly.
i
j
k
l
m
j be prepared to change lanes quickly.
k
l
m
n
j drive a bit closer to other vehicles.
k
l
m
n
Solution : slow down and hold the steering wheel
firmly.
Be prepared to hold your course and compensate for
the effects of air displacement caused by heavy vehicles
passing in the opposite direction.
When night driving, you must: 8 / 79
i Reduce your speed.
j
k
l
m
n
n drive closer to the vehicle ahead of you.
j
k
l
m
n activate the hazard lights when passing another
j
k
l
m
vehicle.
Solution : Reduce your speed.
At night, you must reduce your speed to make sure your
stopping distance is less than the range of the
headlights; otherwise, you may not see obstacles in
time to be able to avoid them.
At night, when you are blinded by the lights of an oncoming vehicle, you must: 9 / 79
n look more towards the side of the road when an
i
j
k
l

rearview mirror. This will leave the driver the space and
time needed to come to a stop.
You are in the vehicle 1 passing the heavy vehicle, when the driver in the vehicle 2 starts
13 / 96
tailing you and flashing his headlights. What must you do?
n You return to the right lane as soon as you can see
i
j
k
l
m
the cab and trailer in your inside rearview mirror.
j You immediately return to the right lane without
k
l
m
n
checking your rearview mirrors.
n You speed up and exceed the maximum speed limit.
j
k
l
m
Solution : You return to the right lane as soon as you
can see the cab and trailer in your inside rearview
mirror.
Be careful! Entering the lane in front of the heavy
vehicle without allowing plenty of room could cause a
collision. Remember that it takes longer for a heavy
vehicle to slow down.
What must you do when passing a heavy vehicle? 14 / 96
i Be ready to compensate for the effect of wind
j
k
l
m
n
turbulence on your vehicle.
n Activate the hazard lights as soon as you are out of
j
k
l
m
the heavy vehicle's blind spots.
j Exceed the maximum speed limit to pass as quickly
k
l
m
n
as possible.
Solution : Be ready to compensate for the effect of
wind turbulence on your vehicle.
Be careful! When you pass a heavy vehicle or meet one
going the other way, the sudden air turbulence may rock
your vehicle. Be ready to compensate for this effect by
steadying your steering wheel to keep the course.
Heavy vehicles stop: 15 / 96
n over a greater distance than cars.
i
j
k
l
m
j over a shorter distance than an automobile.
k
l
m
n
j over the same distance as an automobile.
k
l
m
n
Solution : over a greater distance than cars.
Since heavy vehicles are heavier than cars, they need
more time and space to come to a stop.
What must you do in the presence of a heavy vehicle? 16 / 96
i Avoid following it too closely.
j
k
l
m
n
n Stay in its blind spots as long as possible.
j
k
l
m
n Follow it at the same distance as you would a car.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Avoid following it too closely.
Careful! If you are following a heavy vehicle, you must
keep a distance that will allow you to avoid a rear-end
collision should the driver suddenly brake or slow down.
If you cannot see the side mirrors, you are following too
closely and the driver cannot see you. Increase your
following distance!
You are following a heavy vehicle on the expressway at a two-second time interval that
17 / 96
you are careful to maintain. Is this enough?
n No.
i
j
k
l
m
j Yes, the two-second rule is always enough.
k
l
m
n
j Yes, only when the roadway is dry.
k
l
m
n
Solution : No.
It takes more space and time to stop a heavy vehicle
than a car. If you cannot see the side mirrors, you are
following too closely and the driver cannot see you.
Increase your following distance!
You are on an upgrade when the heavy vehicle in front of you slows and stops. What
18 / 96
must you do?
i Stop and keep at a distance greater than you would
j
k
l
m
n
with a car.
n Slow down and get as close to it as possible.
j
k
l
m
n Sound the horn to get the driver moving again.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Stop and keep at a distance greater than you
would with a car.
With heavy vehicles, you must always stay at a greater
distance. When starting up, the driver will release the
brake and the heavy vehicle may roll back several feet.
Be patient! The driver will need to change gears several
times.
Which one of the following statements about heavy vehicles is true? 19 / 96
n You must avoid braking abruptly in front of them.
i
j
k
l
m
j You must follow them very closely if you wish to
k
l
m
n
pass them safely.
j Because they are slow vehicles, you may cross a
k
l
m
n
solid double line to pass them.
Solution : You must avoid braking abruptly in front of
them.
Careful! If you slam on the brakes in front of a heavy
vehicle, you could cause a collision or force the driver to
steer the vehicle sideways. In the presence of a heavy
vehicle, drive slower and keep a greater distance.
A heavy vehicle is about to back up. What must you do? 20 / 96
i Wait for the driver to complete the manoeuvre.
j
k
l
m
n
n Speed up to pass it before it backs up.
j
k
l
m
n Drive around it.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Wait for the driver to complete the
manoeuvre.
While a heavy vehicle driver relies on his rearview
mirrors to see what is behind his vehicle, he cannot see
everything in them. Keep at a safe distance to stay out
of his blind spots.
You are driving in the rain and are about to reach a heavy vehicle travelling in the
21 / 96
opposite direction. What must you do prior to reaching it?
i Increase the speed of the wipers.
j
k
l
m
n
j Move over to the shoulder.
k
l
m
n
j Activate the hazard lights.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Increase the speed of the wipers.
You must increase the speed of the wipers before
reaching the heavy vehicle. This will prevent the splash
and spay of water on the windshield from cutting down
on visibility.
You are in the vehicle and wish to make a right turn. As you near the intersection, you
notice the trucker ahead signalling his intention to turn right and moving to the left lane. 22 / 96
What must you do?
i Slow down and stay in your lane.
j
k
l
m
n
n Sound the horn to show how annoyed you are.
j
k
l
m
n Accelerate.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Slow down and stay in your lane.
Beware! Heavy vehicles need more space to make a
turn. That truckers may need to enter the next lane to
complete the manoeuvre is to be expected. Allow them
enough space and time to do so.
You are on a road with a posted speed of 90 km/h. In your left side mirror, you see a heavy
vehicle overtaking you. What is the best thing you can do to help the driver complete the 23 / 96
manoeuvre?
n Slow down.
i
j
k
l
m
j Sound the horn and let him know he is going too
k
l
m
n
fast.
j Speed up to the point where he no longer needs to
k
l
m
n
pass you.
Solution : Slow down.
In the presence a heavy vehicle, slow down to help the
driver with his manoeuvres.
You are driving in the left lane and a moped is driving alongside you in the right lane.
24 / 96
From time to time, the moped driver looks at you. You must:
i presume that the moped driver intends to change
j
k
l
m
n
lanes.
n presume that the driver is behaving nervously.
j
k
l
m
n suspect that the driver of the moped is unstable on
j
k
l
m
the vehicle.
Solution : presume that the moped driver intends to
change lanes.
You must presume that the moped driver intends to
change lanes. Before passing or changing lanes, moped
drivers must check the blind spot by turning their head
to see whether the way is clear. This technique is one of
the steps of a lane-change manoeuvre
You are driving behind a moped down a narrow street when it brakes for no apparent
25 / 96
reason. Which statement shows good anticipation?
n You left enough room between your vehicle and the
i
j
k
l
m
moped.
j You think you have enough time to stop, because
k
l
m
n
you are a good driver.
n You sound your horn to make your presence known.
j
k
l
m
Solution : You left enough room between your vehicle
and the moped.
As for any other vehicle, you must leave sufficient room
between your vehicle and the moped.
You are about to cross an intersection. A schoolchild is waiting on the sidewalk. Before
26 / 96
crossing the intersection you must presume that:
i the schoolchild has not seen you.
j
k
l
m
n
n the schoolchild has seen you.
j
k
l
m
n the school child will not cross at the intersection.
j
k
l
m
Solution : the schoolchild has not seen you.
Young children are often quite small and cannot see
beyond any parked vehicles.
A schoolchild is about to cross a busy intersection while talking with friends. Choose the
27 / 96
statement that shows the best understanding of the situation.
n It is surely hard for the child to pay attention to more
i
j
k
l
m
than one thing at a time.
j The child is surely able to take the traffic into
k
l
m
n
account.
n The child is surely able to adjust to the situation.
j
k
l
m
Solution : It is surely hard for the child to pay attention
to more than one thing at a time.
It is hard for children to understand complex situations;
they cannot pay attention to more than one thing at a
time.
A young child drops a ball and runs after it. What must you expect? 28 / 96
i The child will not see the oncoming vehicle.
j
k
l
m
n
n The child will see the vehicle and stop.
j
k
l
m
n The child will let the ball go.
j
k
l
m
Solution : The child will not see the oncoming vehicle.
A young child is often governed by emotions
(happiness, anxiety) and will not take into account an
oncoming vehicle even if the child sees the vehicle.
You are driving behind a heavy vehicle transporting dangerous substances. The vehicle
approaches a level crossing. The red lights are not flashing and the barrier is not lowered. 29 / 96
What must you expect?
n The vehicle will stop 5 metres from the railway
i
j
k
l
m
crossing.
j The vehicle will slow down but continue driving on.
k
l
m
n
j The vehicle will continue driving on without slowing
k
l

Solution : The vehicle will stop 5 metres from the
railway crossing.
The vehicle will stop 5 metres from the railway crossing.
The following statements concern heavy vehicle blind spots. Which statement is true? 30 / 96
i A heavy vehicle has blind spots at the front, rear,
j
k
l
m
n
and left and right sides.
n Because of the large size of heavy vehicles, they
j
k
l
m
have blind spots only at the sides and rear.
j The blind spots of heavy vehicles are the same as
k
l
m
n
those of automobiles.
Solution : A heavy vehicle has blind spots at the front,
rear, and left and right sides.
The blind spots of a heavy vehicle are the parts of the
road that the driver cannot see because of the size of
the vehicle. When other road users are in those zones,
the driver cannot see them. Such blind spots exist at the
front, rear and sides of heavy vehicles.
At 50 km/h, the emergency braking distance of a heavy vehicle on a dry road is: 31 / 96
n roughly twice that of an automobile.
i
j
k
l
m
j roughly 5 times that of an automobile.
k
l
m
n
j roughly once that of an automobile.
k
l
m
n
Solution : roughly twice that of an automobile.
When braking for an emergency at 50 km/h on dry
pavement, a heavy vehicle takes twice or three times as
long as an automobile to stop.
You are driving behind a heavy vehicle in the right lane. At an intersection, the truck
driver encroaches on the left lane in order to carry out a tight right turn. What must you do 32 / 96
to help the driver?
i Slow down to increase the room between the truck
j
k
l
m
n
and your vehicle, while giving the truck driver
enough time to complete the right turn.
j Carry out the same manoeuvre as the heavy vehicle
k
l
m
n
driver.
n Accelerate and make your right turn as quickly as
j
k
l
m
possible.
Solution : Slow down to increase the room between the
truck and your vehicle, while giving the truck driver
enough time to complete the right turn.
A heavy vehicle driver needs a lot of room to carry out a
turn; the driver frequently has to encroach on the left
lane. Consequently, if you are driving behind a heavy
vehicle give it a wide berth and never pass on the right.
Passing on the right is always a dangerous manoeuvre,
since you could find yourself trapped on the side of the
truck.
The following statements concern heavy vehicles. Which statement is true? 33 / 96
n It is important to be courteous and tolerant around
i
j
k
l
m
heavy vehicles.
j A single solid line and a double solid line can be
k
l
m
n
crossed in order to pass a heavy vehicle.
n It is not important to be aware of the main
j
k
l
m
constraints on driving heavy vehicles, since it is the
responsibility of the heavy vehicle driver to adapt to
the other road users.
Solution : It is important to be courteous and tolerant
around heavy vehicles.
Safety precautions are important when sharing the road
with heavy vehicles. This calls for courtesy and
tolerance. For example, a truck needs more time and
room to stop. If you are driving ahead of a heavy
vehicle, safe sharing of the road requires early signalling
of your intention to turn or change lanes.
The following statements concern heavy vehicles. Which statement is true? 34 / 96
n Because of the height of a heavy vehicle, you run
i
j
k
l
m
the risk of a collision when you move into the blind
spot at the front of the vehicle.
n There is no risk of collision when a vehicle rapidly
j
k
l
m
cuts in front of a heavy vehicle from the left, then
slows down in front of the heavy vehicle.
n There is no risk of collision when a vehicle rapidly
j
k
l
m
cuts in front of a heavy vehicle from the right, then
slows down in front of the heavy vehicle.
Solution : Because of the height of a heavy vehicle,
you run the risk of a collision when you move into the
blind spot at the front of the vehicle.
Because of the length and height of a heavy vehicle, the
driver cannot easily see the other road users. In
addition, there are blind spots at the front, rear and
sides of heavy vehicles.
Your route includes several sharp curves. Ahead, at some distance, you see a moped.
35 / 96
Your driving is preventive or proactive if:
n you slow down.
i
j
k
l
m
j you avoid driving up close behind the moped.
k
l
m
n
j you quickly pass the moped.
k
l
m
n
Solution : you slow down.
A driver approaching a curve must be able to judge at
what speed it can be taken. The driver must also
consider that the moped can easily swerve off course in
a curve.
There is a moped ahead of you. To pass it, you must: 36 / 96
i use the left lane.
j
k
l
m
n
n pass it inside the lane it is travelling in.
j
k
l
m
n pass it on the right.
j
k
l
m
Solution : use the left lane.
Moped drivers must abide by the same traffic rules as
other drivers. Unlike cyclists, they are not required to
drive on the side of the road. Motorists must therefore
avoid encroaching on their lane.
You are driving behind a moped on a road under repairs. What must you do to drive
37 / 96
preventively or proactively?
n You take into account the danger to the moped
i
j
k
l
m
driver.
j You worry about the detours making your trip longer.
k
l
m
n
j While driving, you concentrate solely on the road
k
l
m
n
signs.
Solution : You take into account the danger to the
moped driver.
You take into account the danger to the moped driver.
Sharing the road means suitably observing and
evaluating the situation and, above all, driving safely,
both for yourself and for others.
You are about to proceed after making a mandatory stop. A moped is already waiting to
38 / 96
cross the intersection. What must you do?
i Yield the right of way.
j
k
l
m
n
n Accelerate.
j
k
l
m
n Proceed, since you have priority over the moped.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Yield the right of way.
You must yield the right of way. The driver of a vehicle
stopping at an intersection must yield the right of way to
the vehicle that stopped at the intersection first.
You are leaving a gas station and you want to enter the line of vehicles in front of you. On
beginning your manoeuvre, you hear the distinctive sound of a moped in the distance. 39 / 96
What must you do?
n You check left, right, then left again.
i
j
k
l
m
j You do not have to pay any attention to the moped.
k
l
m
n
j You check to see if it is coming from your right.
k
l
m
n
Solution : You check left, right, then left again.
You check left, right, then left again. Before making a
turn, the driver must be sure that the manoeuvre can be
done safely.
You are stopped at an intersection and a young moped driver arrives rapidly, signalling
40 / 96
his or her intention to turn left. What must you do to drive preventively or proactively?
i You have the priority, but you wait a bit.
j
k
l
m
n
n You have the priority so you proceed.
j
k
l
m
n You sound your horn to make the moped driver
j
k
l
m
stop.
Solution : You have the priority, but you wait a bit.
Moped drivers can suffer more injuries than other
drivers because they are not protected. In certain
hazardous situations, it is better to yield the right of way
rather than risk an accident.
In heavy traffic, drivers must watch out for motorcycles because they: 41 / 96
n are harder to see than automobiles.
i
j
k
l
m
j are slower than automobiles.
k
l
m
n
j are harder to pass.
k
l
m
n
Solution : are harder to see than automobiles.
Motorcycles are smaller, so they are harder to see,
especially at night, in poor weather or heavy traffic.
Come springtime, drivers must be more careful, because the presence of motorcycles
42 / 96
can:
i surprise you.
j
k
l
m
n
n slow you down.
j
k
l
m
n bother you.
j
k
l
m
Solution : surprise you.
There are not many motorcycles and they do not travel
the roads all year long. This makes it harder to notice
them in traffic.
Fatal accidents involving a motorcycle and an automobile are due to a manoeuvre by the
43 / 96
driver of the automobile:
n almost 60% of the time.
i
j
k
l
m
j almost 40% of the time.
k
l
m
n
j almost 25% of the time.
k
l
m
n
Solution : almost 60% of the time.
In just under 60% of the fatal accidents involving a
motorcycle and an automobile, the driver of the
automobile initiated the manoeuvre that led to the
accident.
There are many fatal accidents at intersections when motorists cut off motorcycles
44 / 96
because:
i 1, 2
j
k
l
m
n
1. The motorist thinks he or she has enough time to turn
ahead of the motorcycle.
n1
j
k
l
m
2. The motorist did not see the motorcycle.
n2
j
k
l
m
Solution : 1, 2
Almost 40% of all fatal accidents involving a motorcycle
and an automobile occur at intersections, when the
automobile cuts off the motorcycle. The driver of the
automobile often thinks there is enough time to turn left
or cross the intersection ahead of the motorcycle, or the
driver simply does not see the motorcycle.
You notice that the motorcycle ahead of you is driving on the left side of the lane. How
45 / 96
best should this situation be interpreted?
n It is normal, the motorcyclist wants to be better
i
j
k
l
m
seen.
j The motorcyclist is surely going to make a left turn.
k
l
m
n
j This does not mean anything in particular.
k
l
m
n
Solution : It is normal, the motorcyclist wants to be
better seen.
Motorcyclists generally drive on the left side of the lane
to be better seen; they do not necessarily intend to turn
left.
Is a motorcyclist entitled to the entire lane? 46 / 96
i Yes.
j
k
l
m
n
n No.
j
k
l
m
n Yes, but only on autoroutes.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Yes.
Like an automobile, a motorcycle is entitled to the entire
lane for the sake of safety.
You are driving behind a motorcycle; road conditions are dry. What must you know? 47 / 96
n A motorcycle's braking distance is shorter than that
i
j
k
l
m
of an automobile.
j A motorcycle's braking distance is longer than that
k
l
m
n
of an automobile.
n A motorcycle's braking distance is the same as that
j
k
l
m
of an automobile.
Solution : A motorcycle's braking distance is shorter
than that of an automobile.
A motorcycle's braking distance is shorter than that of
an automobile because its braking capability is greater
than an automobile’s.
You are driving behind a motorcycle. The recommended following distance is equal to: 48 / 96
i three or four seconds.
j
k
l
m
n
n the two-second rule.
j
k
l
m
n the length of a motorcycle.
j
k
l
m
Solution : three or four seconds.
Keep a safe distance behind the motorcycle ahead of
you. This calls for more room than between two
automobiles.
You are driving behind a group of motorcycles in staggered formation. What must you do
49 / 96
to safely pass them?
n Respect the group formation.
i
j
k
l
m
j Merge into the middle of the group.
k
l
m
n
j Merge between two motorcycles.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Respect the group formation.
Motorcyclists travelling in groups adopt a staggered
formation for better safety. Drivers must respect the
formation and not merge into it.
You are about to get out of your vehicle. What must you do? 50 / 96
i Check your rearview mirror for approaching cyclists.
j
k
l
m
n
n Open your door to see whether you are well parked.

You are driving at night in a well-lit neighbourhood. A young cyclist dressed in black
51 / 96
suddenly appears, taking you by surprise. What is your best course of action?
n Drive behind the cyclist.
i
j
k
l
m
j Stay vigilant, the cyclist is not very visible.
k
l
m
n
j Quickly pass the cyclist.
k

Solution : Stay vigilant, the cyclist is not very visible.
Drivers must safeguard a person who is at greater risk,
especially if that person engages in risky behaviour.
The following statements concern motorized mobility aids. Which statement is true? 52 / 96
i It is easy to hear a motorized mobility aid
j
k
l
m
n
approaching because, in general, they are very
noisy.
j They are hard to see because of their size (width,
k
l
m
n
height).
n The risk of injury is no greater for the user of a
j
k
l
m
motorized mobility aid than for a motorist.
Solution : They are hard to see because of their size
(width, height).
Compared to an automobile, motorized mobility aids are
smaller, narrower and lower. In addition, their operators
are seated, which makes them harder to see than a
person standing.
A three-wheel motorized mobility aid is on the street ahead of you. Can you pass it? 53 / 96
n Yes, at all times, by using the left lane.
i
j
k
l
m
j Yes, if there is enough room to pass it safely.
k
l
m
n
j No, never.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Yes, if there is enough room to pass it safely.
Passing is allowed, even if the left lane has to be used.
However, the driver must make sure the manoeuvre is
safe and in accordance with the rules of the road. For
example, no passing in a curve.
After a full stop at an intersection, you are about to proceed when you see a four-wheel
motorized mobility aid that is apparently going to cross the traffic lane. What is your best 54 / 96
course of action?
i You sound your horn.
j
k
l
m
n
n You yield the right of way.
j
k
l
m
n You pay it no attention.
j
k
l
m
Solution : You yield the right of way.
Be especially alert and courteous with regard to
vulnerable users, as they are not protected in the event
of a collision.
Complete the following sentence with a true statement. Users of a motorized mobility aid: 55 / 96
n may be unpredictable.
i
j
k
l
m
j are visible by day and by night.
k
l
m
n
j always use the sidewalks.
k
l
m
n
Solution : may be unpredictable.
Like other road users, the operators of motorized
mobility aids can be reckless, have health problems, or
be unpredictable. It is not always easy to anticipate their
behaviour; hence it is recommended to be especially
careful when they are present.
A young child is walking with his or her parents. Just before the intersection, the child
runs out into the street. Choose the statement that shows a good understanding of the 56 / 96
nature of young pedestrians.

children may react.
n Evidently, the parents did not see the child take off.
j
k
l
m
n Children should know all the rules of the road.
j
k
l
m
Solution : It’s a child; drivers must pay attention to how
children may react.
Young children are used to being supervised by adults;
they rely on adults for their safety.
At the end of a school day, many parents have arrived to pick up their children by car. The
school bus is waiting to leave. Suddenly, the siren of a firetruck is heard. A child is about 57 / 96

j
k
l
m
j eyesight is not fully developed.
k
l
m
n
j hearing is not fully developed.
k
l
m
n

i Be careful, they are a boisterous group.
j
k
l
m
n
n You accelerate because you do not want to be
j
k
l
m
slowed down.
n In the future, you will always avoid driving at that
j
k
l
m
time of day.
Solution : Be careful, they are a boisterous group.
Be careful when boisterous children are present.
Hyperactive or impulsive children are more accident-
prone.
You are backing out of your driveway, but even after checking behind your vehicle, you
59 / 96
just manage to avoid a child in back of you. Choose the best explanation for this situation.
n Young children think they are more skillful than they
i
j
k
l
m
really are.
j Young children do not obey rules.
k
l
m
n
j Young children run faster than adults.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Young children think they are more skillful

k
l
m
n
need to hold the phone and allowing them to be
reached at all times.
j They turn off their telephone before driving and let
k
l
m
n
the voicemail take the calls.
j They buy a Bluetooth earset to be able to talk while
k
l
m
n
driving safely.
Solution : They turn off their telephone before driving
and let the voicemail take the calls.
Drivers must turn off the telephone. They may also let
passengers answer or make a call instead. True,
headsets and earsets are allowed, but they are not safe
for all that. The greatest danger lies in the conversation
itself, not the handling of the device.

Module 12 – Answer Key
When should you plug in the block heater? 1 / 22
n Two hours before getting behind the wheel.
i
j
k
l
m
n Overnight.
j
k
l
m
n Four hours before getting behind the wheel.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Two hours before getting behind the wheel.
Plugging in the block heater more than two hours is a
waste of electric power. It is better to use a timer to turn
on the block heater two hours before starting the
vehicle.
What is the minimum suggested interval for checking the air pressure of your tires? 2 / 22
i At least once a month.
j
k
l
m
n
j At the beginning of every season.
k
l
m
n
j At every oil change.
k
l
m
n
Solution : At least once a month.
Checking the air pressure of your tires on a regular
basis is important. The best time to do so is when the
tires have cooled and the vehicle has been stationary
for at least three hours or has travelled less than 2 km.
To save fuel, the maximum sustained speed at which a vehicle should travel is: 3 / 22
i 90 km/h.
j
k
l
m
n
j 120 km/h.
k
l
m
n
j 100 km/h.
k
l
m
n
Solution : 90 km/h.
In most cases, dropping the maximum sustained speed
from 100 to 90 km/h results in a fuel saving of nearly
10 %. However, increasing the maximum sustained
speed from 100 to 120 km/h results in a 20 % fuel
consumption increase.
Is it a good habit to let your vehicle idle? 4 / 22
n No, because of the noxious effects on the
i
j
k
l
m
environment.
j Yes, because it allows the catalytic converter to
k
l
m
n
reach optimum temperature.
n Yes, because fuel consumption is optimized.
j
k
l
m
Solution : No, because of the noxious effects on the
environment.
Letting your vehicle idle is a waste of money, because
you burn fuel while going nowhere. Also, it causes
harmful gases to be emitted in the atmosphere.
Is it necessary to let the vehicle idle on cold winter days? 5 / 22
i No, it is useless to let the engine run more than 30
j
k
l
m
n
seconds.
n Yes, because every part of the vehicle must be kept
j
k
l
m
warm.
j Yes, because warming up a vehicle takes time.
k
l
m
n
Solution : No, it is useless to let the engine run more
than 30 seconds.
Many parts of a vehicle, including tires and suspension,
will warm up only once the vehicle is moving. If the
windows are clear, no more than 30 seconds of idling is
needed to get the oil circulating through the engine.
Is it still recommended to rotate the tires on vehicles, despite technological advances in
6 / 22
this area?
n Yes, every 10,000 km.
i
j
k
l
m
n Yes, every 50,000 km.
j
k
l
m
n It is no longer necessary to do so.
j
k
l
m
Solution : Yes, every 10,000 km.
This way you reduce wear and fuel consumption and
ensure maximum performance in addition to safer
driving.
If you are forced to drive with a compact spare, what is the maximum speed at which you
7 / 22
can travel?
i 80 km/h.
j
k
l
m
n
j 100 km/h.
k
l
m
n
j 90 km/h.
k
l
m
n
Solution : 80 km/h.
You must drive slowly, as the compact spare is
designed for use over a short distance at slow speed.
When driving at 120 km/h instead of 100 km/h on the autoroute, your gas consumption: 8 / 22
n is 20% higher.
i
j
k
l
m
n stays the same.
j
k
l
m
n is 5% higher.
j
k
l
m
n is 20% lower.
j
k
l
m
Solution : is 20% higher.
The faster we drive, the greater our fuel consumption.
Studies show that fuel savings peak at 90 km/h.
Observing the speed limits on autoroutes saves money.
Over a distance of 15 km, driving at 110 km/h in a 90 km/h zone will “save” you: 9 / 22
i 2 minutes.
j
k
l
m
n
j 20 minutes.
k
l
m
n
j 10 minutes.
k
l
m
n
j 5 minutes.
k
l
m
n
Solution : 2 minutes.
In a 90 km/h zone, driving at 20 km/h over the speed
limit will save you only 2 minutes over 15 km. This is
negligible, considering that the risk of an accident is six
times greater. In addition, if there is road work, traffic or
other impediments, there may be no gain at all.
Effective visual scanning: 10 / 22
n calls for anticipation.
i
j
k
l
m
n enables you to reduce your safety margin.
j
k
l
m
n allows you to avoid making a full stop at stop signs.
j
k
l
m
Solution : calls for anticipation.
Keep en eye on the vehicle ahead of you, but also on
the one ahead of it, and even on the other vehicles
farther ahead when traffic is heavy. That way, you will
anticipate slowdowns and avoid sudden braking.
What is the best way of practicing your manual-transmission driving skills? 11 / 22
i Shift gears by listening to the sound of the motor.
j
k
l
m
n
j Do some underspeed gear shifting.
k
l
m
n
j Do some overspeed gear shifting.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Shift gears by listening to the sound of the
motor.
Underspeed and overspeed handling leads to excessive
fuel consumption. Underspeed handling stresses a
motor; overspeed handling consumes fuel uselessly.
Which of the following options is/are associated with eco-driving? 12 / 22
n 1, 2
i
j
k
l
m
1. The observance of speed limits.
2. Anticipation when driving. n 2, 3
j
k
l
m
3. Performance driving. n3
j
k
l
m
Solution : 1, 2
In addition to observance of speed limits, eco-driving
calls for anticipation with regard to observation and
safety margins.
The more you accelerate rapidly: 13 / 22
i the more fuel you consume.
j
k
l
m
n
j the more time you save.
k
l
m
n
j the more you show off your driving skills.
k
l
m
n
Solution : the more fuel you consume.
Contrary to popular belief, you save very little time. One
thing is sure though, you consume much more fuel.
The more you brake suddenly: 14 / 22
n the more fuel you consume.
i
j
k
l
m
n the more you show others that you are a good
j
k
l
m
driver.
j the more skilled you become in handling your
k
l
m
n
vehicle.
Solution : the more fuel you consume.
Sudden braking consumes much more fuel. For your
safety and that of others, go easy on the brake pedal!
What is a consequence of impatient or performance driving? 15 / 22
i An increase in fuel consumption.
j
k
l
m
n
j A reduction in fuel consumption.
k
l
m
n
j Lots of time saved.
k
l
m
n
Solution : An increase in fuel consumption.
Impatient driving increases fuel consumption and may
contribute to premature brake and tire wear. Contrary to
popular belief, you save very little time.

j
k
l
m
n An impatient or performance driving style aimed at
j
k
l
m
getting to destination faster.
j Vehicle maintenance reduced to a minimum.
k
l
m

i Yes.
j
k
l
m
n
j No, it is neither economical nor ecological.
k
l
m
n
j No, it will take just as much time.
k
l
m
n
Solution : Yes.
Consider public transit such as the train or bus for long
trips; they are relaxing, less polluting modes of
transport.
Your friend leaves his roof-top cargo box and bike rack installed all summer long. From
18 / 22
an eco-driving standpoint, is this a good idea?
n No.
i
j
k
l
m
n Yes, if the rooftop cargo box has an aerodynamic
j
k
l
m
design.
j Yes, he saves time.
k
l
m
