a. If you triple your speed your force of impact will be three times greater
b. Speed has little effect on impact forces
c. If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is four times greater
d. If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is two times greater - ANSC
If you are able to reduce your speed by half before crashing into a concrete post, the kinetic
energy experienced in the crash will be reduced by four times.
a. True
b. False - ANSA
While driving you see a dangerous situation ahead and must take immediate action. Which
of the following is/are correct?
a. It is better to steer right instead of toward oncoming traffic to prevent a crash
b. If you crash into the side of another vehicle, hitting that vehicle behind the rear wheels will

come to a stop against the interior of the vehicle they were traveling in
b. The third collision occurs when the internal organs of the occupant strike the skeletal
system and other organs in the stopped body of the occupant.
c. Seat belts and air bags help reduce the effects of the second and third collisions by
preventing belted occupants from striking the interior of the vehicle as the passenger
compartment comes to a stop after the initial impact, called the first collision
d. All of the above - ANSD
Which of the following is/are true?
a. Vehicles are designed to dissipate the energy associated with collisions and to protect the
passenger compartment
b. When a collision occurs, the front and rear structures of vehicles are designed to deform
and buckle in a carefully designed and controlled manner to dissipate the energy associated
with the crash
c. Vehicle design features are more effective if speed is reduced, drivers take actions to
reduce the impact associated with collisions, and if vehicle occupants are wearing seatbelts
d. All of the above - ANSD
Drivers exercise judgment and skill when they are behind the wheel. Of these two
capabilities, driving skill is by far the most important.
a. True
, b. False - ANSB
When driving, you should attempt to scan 20-30 seconds ahead of your vehicle. If you are
traveling at highway speeds, 50, 60, or 70 miles per hour, you will travel about one mile per
minute. Therefore, you should be scanning about how far ahead:
a. About 100 feet
b. About 500 feet
c. About 1/2 mile
d. About 1 mile - ANSC
to properly scan 20-30 seconds ahead, you should scan this entire distance ahead of your
vehicle. As you scan ahead, you should:
a. Identify situations, vehicles, or objects that could cause a problem by the time they reach
the mid-point of your scanning distance about 15 seconds ahead of your vehicle.
b. Be particularly alert for immediate hazards that may present themselves in the area that
is 2-5 seconds ahead of your vehicle.
c. Delay taking defensive actions such as slowing or changing lanes until the situation,
vehicle or object ahead is 2-5 seconds ahead of your vehicle.
d. Both a. and b. above - ANSD
Proper scanning of the roadway provides time for the driver to adjust speed and path to
avoid dangerous situations. Which of the following is/are true?
a. To accomplish proper scanning, look 20 to 30 seconds ahead and to the sides and rear to
identify potentially dangerous situations
b. Drivers should adopt a mindset that says the driver approaching the intersection from the
left or right may not stop at the traffic signal
c. If scanning ahead identifies a potential danger, you must take action to avoid a crash
d. All of the above - ANSD
The SIPDE process includes the following steps: Squinting, Influencing, Protecting, Driving,
and Escaping.
a. True
b. False - ANSB, SEARCH IDENTIFY PREDICT DECIDE EXECUTE
Which of the following is/are true?
a. It takes about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second to scan ahead, identify potential hazards, predict the
actions that others may take, and to decide what to do.
b. Once you have decided to initiate braking, it takes about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second to move
your foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal.
c. All together is takes about a second to a second and a half to initiate braking and to start
slowing your vehicle.
d. All of the above - ANSD
In addition to being aware of your surroundings, Florida law requires that you use your turn
signals to let others near you know if you plan to turn or change lanes.
a. True
b. False - ANSA
