6. Why should you look well ahead while driving?
Looking well ahead helps you identify developing hazards early, such as slowing traffic, pedestrians, junctions, or changing road conditions. Earlier detection gives you more time to assess the situation and respond smoothly and safely.

10. How should a three-point seat belt normally be worn during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, a three-point seat belt should be worn correctly. The lap belt should sit low across the hips, below the abdomen, while the shoulder belt should pass across the chest and to the side of the abdomen. The belt should fit snugly and should not be placed behind the back or under the arm.

31. Why should you avoid using air recirculation for too long in damp conditions?
Using air recirculation for too long in damp conditions can allow moisture to build up inside the vehicle and increase window misting, especially when the air conditioning is not dehumidifying the air. Switching to fresh outside air can help clear condensation.

32. What should you do if you approach slow-moving farm machinery?
Farm machinery may be wide, slow, or turn unexpectedly. Keep distance and only overtake when you have a clear view and enough space.
AI-generated by Rijbewijs-online.be • WCIT • CC BY-SA
33. Why should you avoid sudden steering movements on snow or ice?
Abrupt steering can overwhelm the limited grip available on a slippery surface. Steering smoothly helps keep the vehicle stable.

34. Why should you slow down before a sharp bend?
Sharp bends reduce your view and can make the vehicle harder to control, so you should slow down before entering the bend.
AI-generated by Rijbewijs-online.be • WCIT • CC BY-SA
35. Why should you reduce speed in fog?
Fog can hide obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles. Lower speed gives you more time to react.
AI-generated by Rijbewijs-online.be • WCIT • CC BY-SA
36. What should you do if you feel tired while driving?
Driving while tired reduces concentration and reaction time. Stop somewhere safe and rest before continuing.

40. What should you consider before selecting a lower gear in a manual vehicle?
Before selecting a lower gear, make sure the vehicle's speed is suitable for that gear. Selecting too low a gear at excessive speed can cause harsh engine braking and place unnecessary stress on the drivetrain.

41. What should you do if you see smoke or fire inside a tunnel?
If it is safe to drive out of the tunnel, do so. If you cannot continue safely, stop, switch off the engine, leave the vehicle, and use the marked emergency exits or refuge routes. Follow tunnel-control instructions.

42. What should you do if the service brakes fail while driving?
Remain calm, warn other road users, and use other available braking methods to reduce speed. This may include engine braking or a lower gear, and careful use of the parking or emergency brake according to the vehicle's design. Steer toward the safest available stopping area.

45. Why should you leave extra space when passing road workers?
Workers may be only a short distance from passing vehicles. Reduce speed and leave as much safe space as possible.
AI-generated by Rijbewijs-online.be • WCIT • CC BY-SA
46. Why should headlights, indicators, and other exterior lights be kept clean and working?
Dirty or faulty lights reduce visibility and make it harder for other road users to understand when you are braking, turning, reversing, or changing position.

47. What should you check before beginning a journey in severe winter weather?
Check whether the journey is necessary and prepare for delays or changing conditions. Suitable tyres, sufficient fuel or charge, warm clothing, and basic emergency supplies may be important.
