| TRUE or FALSE: One third of crashes involving a drowsy driver result in injuries and more than 6,000 fatigue-related crashes each year result in at least one fatality. | TRUE "Many people believe that playing loud music, rolling down the window or having conversations with a passenger are reliable ways to stay awake. The fact is, the best way not to fall asleep at the wheel is to pull over in a lighted, populated area and get some rest." "Highway hypnosis is a natural hypnotic state occurring when you're 'hypnotized' by the road because of driving for long periods of time. Make a concerted effort to keep your eyes moving and continually scan the roadway." |
| BE CAREFUL IF YOU DRIVE AND YOU'RE SICK | "Your health can affect your driving ability, and how you react to road and traffic conditions. Even a short-term illness, like a cold or mild flu can negatively affect your driving ability. You may be distracted because you don't feel well, and you may find your visibility affected, as well as your ability to maneuver your vehicle. The best strategy is to not drive at all if you are sick! If you have to drive, try to keep your trips short, and use extra caution." Section 1, Page 5 |

| What can you do to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning? | "Open your garage door before you start your car engine. Never run your engine inside a garage or closed area. In a traffic jam, especially in a tunnel, turn off your engine, if possible. Keep a reasonable distance between your car and the car in front of you. Never drive with your rear window open. Turn off your car's "fresh air" ventilation if you find yourself stuck behind another vehicle for an extended period of time. Have your car's exhaust system checked to detect potential leaks or problems." Section 2, Page 9 |
| Read the example below, and determine which force has been misjudged. A vehicle with a high center of ___, such as a car transporting cargo on its roof, or some SUV's, can become unstable and harder to control when executing a turn, causing it to crash into other vehicles. | Misjudging Gravity (Rollovers) Section 3, Page 3 |
| Read the example below, and determine which force has been misjudged. A car encounters a roadway with its ___ reduced, and collides with the car in front of it, an oncoming car, or drives off the side of a hill. | Misjudging Friction (Skids) Section 3, Page 3 |
| Read the example below, and determine which force has been misjudged. The driver's car enters a curve too quickly and loses control, colliding with an oncoming vehicle, into the side of or off a mountain or hill. | Misjudging Centrifugal Force (Driving Off a Curve) Section 3, Page 3 |
| Read the example below, and determine which force has been misjudged. The vehicle is forced to drastically reduce its speed or come to a sudden, complete stop, propelling people and objects forward. | Misjudging Inertia (Damage to Property or Injury to Persons Inside Vehicle) Section 3, Page 3 |
| Read the example below, and determine which force has been misjudged. Vehicle may be exiting a freeway or highway, still going at a high rate of speed, and collides with other, slower-moving vehicles that are trying to merge onto the freeway, or that are stopped in a traffic jam. | Misjudging Kinetic Energy (Velocitation) Section 3, Page 3 |
| What useful tool should you carry with you, especially if you are operating a heavy truck or other vehicle, and certainly on an incline? | Wheel Blocks Section 3, Page 4 |
| What safety precaution is present in all vehicles that helps counteract inertia's effects? | Seat belts Section 3, Page 5 |
| Imagine this: There are two cars, one yellow and one blue. They are both going at the same speed and will brake at the same time, but the blue car is twice as heavy as the yellow one. What is true about the blue car when it brakes? | Answer: The braking distance of the blue car will be twice as great of that of the yellow car. "The relationship between weight and kinetic energy (or energy in motion) is directly proportional. Therefore, if a car weighs twice as much as another car, it will have twice the energy and as a result its 'braking distance will be twice as great.'" Section 3, Page 7 |
| Which of the following is the typical tread depth of most cars? A. 1 inch B. 1 1/16 inch C. 1/16 inch | Answer: C. 1/16 Inch "The typical tread depth for most cars is 1/16th of an inch deep−check your tires periodically to ensure that they are in good condition and safe to use."
