This quiz contains 17 questions from a mix of 1 subtopics.
Which of the following is the total distance travelled from spotting a hazard to coming to a complete stop?
thinking distance
stopping distance
reaction distance
braking distance
|
What is the term used for the distance travelled after the driver starts braking until the vehicle stops?
thinking distance
braking distance
reaction distance
stopping distance
|
Which one of the following does NOT directly influence the thinking distance?
driver fatigue
alcohol consumption
vehicle mass
driver age
|
Increased braking distance can be caused by:
low vehicle mass
dry road surface
good tyre condition
worn brake pads
|
Which one of the following will NOT increase the stopping distance?
wet road surface
quicker reaction time
poor brake condition
higher speed
|
As the velocity increases, what happens to the thinking distance if the reaction time is constant?
it stays the same
it decreases
it doubles
it increases
|
Which formula is used to calculate the thinking distance?
thinking distance = velocity ÷ reaction time
thinking distance = reaction time x velocity
thinking distance = reaction time ÷ velocity
thinking distance = velocity - reaction time
|
What is the braking distance for a car with an initial velocity of 25 m/s that decelerates at 5 m s-2?
25 m
31.25 m
50 m
62.5 m
|
Which factors directly influence the braking distance? Select all that apply.
tyre condition
vehicle mass
road conditions
driver age
initial velocity
|
Increased thinking distance leads to:
reduced stopping distance
no change in stopping distance
increased stopping distance
increased braking distance only
|
What is the term used for the time taken for a driver to react to a hazard by braking?
|
List 3 factors that can reduce the stopping distance of a vehicle.
|
Explain why increased speed leads to greater thinking and braking distances.
|
A driver has a reaction time of 1.5 seconds and is driving at a speed of 30 m s-1. Calculate the thinking distance of the vehicle.

|
If a vehicle decelerates at a rate of 5 m s-2 from an initial speed of 25 m s-1, what is its braking distance?
