EVOC Exam: Questions/Solutions – 100% Correct
What are the *3 Driving Components*? Right Ans - 1. *Awareness*
(Recognition of the traffic environment which could impact the vehicle's
movement.
Inattention and distraction are some of the biggest causes of non-emergency
crashes)
2. *Space Management* (Planning ahead of the vehicle so as to get, and keep,
the best control of the actual or intended path of the vehicle
Stay out of clusters
Surround yourself with space
Prepare for other drivers' actions)
3. *Collision Avoidance* (Quickly and efficiently maneuvering the vehicle into
a different path of travel because the intended path is no longer safe.)
What are the *5 Strategies for Safe Driving?* Right Ans - 1. Steering
2. Braking
3. Backing
4. Cornering
5. Skid Avoidance
___________ steering is steering to avoid an object or person. Right Ans -
Evasive
___________ steering is used to prevent oversteer. Right Ans - Counter
________ __________ - The friction between two surfaces that are in contact and
one or both are rotating. Right Ans - Rolling Friction
Steering, Braking, and Accelerating have one thing in common, they must
ALWAYS be __________. Right Ans - Smooth.
What is the proper hand positioning on the steering wheel when driving?
Right Ans - *9 and 3 oclock*. WHY? Because this allows instant
maneuverability, stable control, and prevents hand over hand steering which
can cause oversteer.
,The ______-_______ method should always be used when navigating street
corners or winding roads, however _______ over _______ steering can be used
when moving slowly or turning at angles greater than 45 degrees. Right
Ans - Push-Pull,
Hand over Hand
What are the *5 dynamics of braking*? Right Ans - 1. All wheels locked
2. Front wheel lock up
3. Rear wheels locked
4. Brake Fade
5. Weight Transfer
Front Wheel Lock up is caused by ________ _______ ______________ or a slick spot on
the _______. The Rear wheels act like a rudder, and maintain a straight ahead
slide. Right Ans - Improper Brake Adjustment,
Road
Rear Wheel Lock is also caused by an improper brake adjustment. The vehicle
will rotate around center mass in the _______________ plane. Right Ans -
Horizontal
All Wheels Locked is caused by a ______ situation In which brakes are applied
________, hard enough to lock all four wheels. The vehicle will likely continue to
skid in a straight line as long as road surface, tire pressure, and tire tread are
fairly even. Right Ans - Panic,
Abruptly
Newton's First Law of Motion says an object in motion will WHAT? Right
Ans - Remain in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted upon by
an outside force. (For a vehicle this outside force is TRACTION)
________ _________ is The process of moving a vehicle's weight from front to rear
and from side to side. Too much weight shift can cause a loss of control. Hard
braking will transfer most of the weight to the ______ tires. Too much weight
shift to the left or right will cause the vehicle to spin out or oversteer. Right
Ans - Weight Transfer,
Front
, To prevent weight shift, Steering, Throttle, and Braking inputs must be done
____________. Right Ans - Smoothly
You should always brake in a ___________ line, prior to entering a _______ or ______.
Right Ans - Straight,
Turn or Corner
If you MUST brake in a curve, Apply the brakes _________, _________, and
___________. Right Ans - Gently, Smoothly, Steadily.
Braking is Progressive, Pressure should _________ steadily when pressing the
brake, then released ________ just before stopping. Right Ans - Increase,
Slowly
__________ braking- is early and smooth braking with constant pressure. This is
not the "StabJab" technique where you apply brakes, release, apply again. For
sudden stops, ___________ braking- is maximum pressure short of lock up. ____-
allows controlled braking under most conditions. Right Ans - Controlled,
Threshold,
ABS
ABS stands for ___________ __________ __________ and is Part of a vehicle's braking
system that automatically controls braking pressure to prevent the controlled
wheel or wheels from locking during braking. Right Ans - Anti-Lock
Braking System
In reverse a vehicle will turn more efficiently. The vehicle pivots from a point
in the middle of the back axle and the front end swings out, this is called ______
____ ________. Right Ans - Front End Swing
