Why is it dangerous to cross between parked cars?

202. Why is it dangerous to cross between parked cars?

You cannot hear approaching traffic between cars.
✓ Drivers may not see you or expect you to cross.
Traffic always moves faster beside parked cars.
Parked cars make the crossing distance longer.

Parked vehicles can block the view between pedestrians and drivers. This makes it harder to see approaching traffic and harder for drivers to see you.

What should you do if a motorcycle's drive chain is too loose?

203. What should you do if a motorcycle's drive chain is too loose?

Lubricate it and ignore the loose tension.
✓ Adjust it correctly or have it checked before riding.
Increase speed to keep the chain under tension.
Tighten it as much as possible.

A loose drive chain can affect power transmission, damage components, or come off the sprockets. The chain should have the correct tension and lubrication specified by the motorcycle manufacturer. A chain that is too tight can also cause damage.

Should motorcyclists wear protective clothing?

204. Should motorcyclists wear protective clothing?

How can air conditioning help demist the windows?

205. How can air conditioning help demist the windows?

✓ By removing moisture from the air.
By heating the rear window directly.
By opening the windows automatically.
By increasing air recirculation.

Using the air conditioning can help demist the windows because it removes moisture from the cabin air. Directing this drier air towards the windscreen can clear condensation more quickly.

How can higher speed affect fuel or energy consumption?

212. How can higher speed affect fuel or energy consumption?

✓ It can increase consumption because air resistance rises.
It always reduces consumption.
It improves tyre efficiency in every situation.
It has no effect once the vehicle is moving.

As speed increases, aerodynamic resistance generally rises, so the vehicle needs more energy to maintain that speed. Driving smoothly at an appropriate speed can therefore reduce fuel or energy consumption.

213. Which signs may indicate that you are becoming too tired to drive safely?

✓ Yawning, heavy eyelids, and difficulty concentrating.
Feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Listening to quieter music.
Feeling hungry and slightly thirsty.

Warning signs of driver fatigue can include repeated yawning, heavy eyelids, difficulty concentrating, wandering thoughts, and trouble maintaining a steady road position. These signs mean you should stop and rest before continuing.

How can worn tyres affect driving in heavy rain?

214. How can worn tyres affect driving in heavy rain?

✓ They increase the risk of aquaplaning.
They shorten the stopping distance on wet roads.
They clear water from the road more effectively.
They reduce the chance of skidding at low speeds.

Tyre tread helps channel water away and maintain grip. Worn tyres cannot clear water as effectively, increasing stopping distance and the risk of aquaplaning.

How can you check which fuel is suitable for your vehicle?

217. How can you check which fuel is suitable for your vehicle?

Use petrol unless the engine sounds like a diesel.
✓ Check the fuel-filler label, fuel cap, or vehicle information.
Ask another driver with a similar-looking vehicle.
Choose the fuel that has the same colour nozzle as last time.

Before refuelling, check which fuel type the vehicle requires. The correct fuel is often shown inside the fuel-filler flap, on or near the fuel cap, or in the vehicle information or owner's manual. Do not rely only on nozzle colours, as these can vary between filling stations and countries.

It can prevent the head restraint from being adjusted.
It can make the airbag deploy earlier.
It can cause the seat to slide forwards when braking.
✓ It can reduce how effectively the seat belt restrains you.

An excessively reclined seat can affect how the seat belt fits and restrains your body and may increase the risk of sliding under the lap belt in a collision. Sit in a reasonably upright position so the lap belt stays low across the hips and the shoulder belt lies correctly across the chest.
