1. What is the leading cause of vehicle crashes?
A. Poor road conditions
B. Mechanical failure
C Driver error
D Adverse weather
Driver error accounts for the vast majority of vehicle crashes. Human factors —
distraction, poor judgment, fatigue — outweigh all environmental and mechanical
causes combined.
Driver error leading cause crashes
2. Which type of crash accounts for more fatalities, injuries, and property damage
than any other?
A Single-vehicle rollover
B Rear-end collision
C Two-vehicle crash
D Pedestrian collision
,Two-vehicle crashes cause more fatalities, injuries, and property damage than any
other crash type because of the combined forces involved in vehicle-to-vehicle
impact.

3. Should you pump the brakes on a vehicle equipped with ABS?
A Yes, pump rapidly for best stopping distance
B Yes, pump gently to maintain control
C No — ABS pumps automatically; apply steady firm pressure
D Only pump if the vehicle skids
ABS pulses the brakes automatically — up to 15 times per second. Pumping
manually overrides the system. Apply firm, continuous pressure and steer around
the hazard.
ABS anti-lock brakes do not pump steady pressure
4. What does NIOSH stand for?
A National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
B National Institute of Safety and Health
C National Inspection Organization for Safety and Highways
D National Institute for Occupational Standards in Health
NIOSH stands for National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health — a U.S.
federal agency that conducts research and makes recommendations for
preventing work-related illness and injury.

,5. Supplemental restraint devices mounted in vehicles to reduce crash injuries are
called what?
A Crumple zones
B Seatbelt pretensioners
C Air bags
D Roll cages
Air bags are supplemental restraint systems (SRS) that deploy on impact to
cushion occupants and reduce injury severity — they work in addition to, not
instead of, seatbelts.
Air bags supplemental restraint SRS injury reduction
6. What are areas around a vehicle that cannot be readily viewed without
repositioning or using supplemental devices?
A. Peripheral zones
B Dead angles
C Blind spots
D Shadow corridors
Blind spots are zones around the vehicle not visible through mirrors or windows
without physically moving. Shoulder-checking is essential before lane changes.
Blind spots visibility supplemental devices repositioning
7. What is the straight-line tendency of inertia called when a vehicle corners?
A Centripetal force
B Momentum shift
C Centrifugal force
, D Gravitational pull
Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force felt when a vehicle turns — it is
inertia pulling the vehicle away from the curved path.

8. What force pushes a body into a curved path, out of its normal inertia?
A Centrifugal force
B Friction force
C Centripetal force
D Gravitational force
Centripetal force acts inward toward the center of a curve, keeping the vehicle on
a curved path. Tires generate this force through friction with the road.

9. Conditions — both physical and environmental — that develop over a long
period of time are called what?
A Acute conditions
B Episodic conditions
C Situational hazards
D Chronic conditions
Chronic conditions develop gradually and can significantly affect driving ability —
examples include diabetes, vision deterioration, and arthritis.
