Safe Driving and Transportation Systems Quiz

Excessive speeding contributes significantly to the majority of traffic accidents due to reduced reaction time and increased severity of collisions.

A 'blind spot' is an area around a vehicle where the driver's vision is obstructed, requiring extra caution during lane changes.

In school zones, drivers should be especially cautious about the potential presence of children, prioritizing their safety.

'Tailgating' involves following another vehicle too closely, increasing the risk of collisions and limiting reaction time.

Airbags in vehicles are designed to reduce the impact force during a collision, minimizing the risk of injury to the occupants.

ABS, or Anti-lock Braking System, prevents wheel lockup during braking, enhancing vehicle control and reducing stopping distances.

Drivers should yield to vehicles already in the roundabout, allowing for smooth traffic flow and safety.

Hazard lights should be used during emergencies or breakdowns to alert other drivers and enhance safety.

TCS prevents wheel spin during acceleration, enhancing vehicle stability and control, especially in slippery conditions.

'Hydroplaning' occurs when a vehicle loses traction on wet surfaces, leading to a loss of control and increased risk of accidents.

A catalytic converter reduces harmful emissions by converting pollutants in exhaust gases into less harmful substances.

The 'right of way' grants the privilege of having priority in traffic situations, ensuring orderly and safe movement.

The legal BAC limit for driving in many countries is 0.08%, aiming to deter impaired driving and ensure road safety.

'Defensive driving' involves driving cautiously and proactively to reduce the risk of accidents and promote overall road safety.

The 'Move Over' law requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when approaching emergency vehicles with activated lights for safety.
