Road Safety and Driver Behavior Quiz

Yellow light indicates caution, advising drivers to proceed with care before the light turns red.

Rumble strips on the side of the road alert drivers with vibration and noise if they drift off the road, helping to prevent accidents.

Hydroplaning refers to the tendency of a vehicle to skid on a wet surface due to loss of traction, often causing drivers to lose control of the vehicle.

Defensive driving means being cautious and aware while driving to anticipate and avoid potential hazards or accidents, focusing on safety and accident prevention.

The term 'yield' in traffic rules means to stop and give the right of way to other traffic, allowing them to proceed before you, typically at intersections or when merging into traffic.

0.08% BAC is the legal limit for blood alcohol concentration for most drivers in many countries, beyond which it's illegal to operate a vehicle.

High beam headlights are used in fog, snow, or heavy rain to improve visibility, but should be dimmed when approaching other vehicles to prevent glare.

To maintain traction while driving in adverse weather conditions, it's important to decrease speed, allowing for better control and reducing the risk of skidding or sliding.

A blind spot refers to an area around the vehicle that is not visible in the rearview or side mirrors, making it important for drivers to physically check before changing lanes or making maneuvers.

In traffic signal colors, green generally indicates permission to proceed or go, signaling that it is safe to move forward.

A car's blind-spot monitoring system warns the driver about vehicles in adjacent lanes that may not be visible in the side mirrors, helping to prevent collisions during lane changes or maneuvers.

ABS prevents skidding and maintains steering control during hard braking by rapidly pulsing the brakes, allowing the driver to maintain control of the vehicle.

Tailgating refers to driving too closely behind another vehicle, which reduces reaction time and increases the risk of collision.

Road signs with a red border indicate a warning or caution, alerting drivers to potential hazards or changes in road conditions ahead.

When approaching a roundabout, drivers should yield to traffic already in the roundabout, entering only when it is safe to do so to maintain traffic flow and safety.

The recommended following distance when driving behind another vehicle is typically 3 seconds, allowing enough time to react to sudden changes and maintain a safe distance to prevent collisions.

The primary purpose of a speed bump on the road is to slow down traffic, especially in areas where speed control is necessary for safety, such as near schools or pedestrian crossings.
