Manitoba Class 3 Drivers Licence test & Air Break Exam
2023 with complete solution
How can a driver anticipate a change in traffic signals when approaching an
intersection
Drivers should look well ahead for traffic
control signal lights, lane use and turn
signals.
If your vehicle is 11.5 m long, what time
interval count would you use under ideal
road and traffic conditions?
Round out the length of your vehicle to the nearest metre and divide by three to
determine your count.
The count must never be less than four seconds, even if the number arrived at using
this formula is less than four
What should a driver consider when picking
a safe driving speed?
Adjust speed to suit the conditions; for example,reduce speed when there's a strong
head wind.
How does a driver pick the "control speed" before going down any hill?
This is achieved by selecting the proper gear for the grade of the road and the engine in
the vehicle..
What is the advantage of using engine
brake retarders?
An additional assistance to slow vehicles
Are engine brake retarders better at low engine rpm or high rpm?
Gear selection is important because engine retarders are most efficient at higher engine
rpm
Before going down a steep grade, at what point should the driver gear down?
Before starting down a hill, select a gear and slow down to a speed that can be
controlled without hard braking or the brakes may overheat and lose their braking
power.
Why should the driver not signal another vehicle to overtake and pass?
Drivers should not direct other drivers to pass, as this may encourage them to overdrive
their ability.
What action should the driver take when being
passed by a smaller vehicle?
When other drivers pull out to pass, help them to pass safely by reducing speed. Avoid
travelling alongside another vehicle for a long period of time.
What should the driver do when it is necessary
to drive a vehicle through water on the highway?
•Check your tires for wear and inflation regularly.
• Reduce your speed even more when facing
standing water and puddles.
• Drive in the tracks of preceding vehicles
, Why should you avoid passing another vehicle
when your difference in speed is only slight?
When passing another vehicle, make sure you
are not in the fast traffic lane longer than necessary. This action can make the traffic
behind you reduce speed, resulting in "bunching" of vehicles, which creates a hazard
particularly on freeways or high-speed highways.
What is the effect of air turbulence on
smaller vehicles?
A car riding alongside the saddle tank area, or at the immediate rear of a trailer, is in an
area of air turbulence. Drivers of large vehicles must be alert for unsuspecting drivers
who ride in these areas as they may be forced off a narrow roadway or drawn into the
side of the vehicle.
How can backing accidents be prevented?
Avoid unnecessary backing — plan ahead to
minimize backing distances.
When a guide is used in backing a large vehicle, what is the best position for the
placement of the guide?
The guide should stand to the rear of the vehicle where there is a clear, continuous view
of the backing path the vehicle will follow. The guide must be visible to the driver in his
mirror throughout the manoeuvre.
What are the three steps a driver should take
before backing a large vehicle?
Step out of the vehicle and look at the backing
area for hazards.
Check for clearances and obstacles above, below, to the sides, to the rear and to the
front
of the vehicle.
Enter the cab, sound the horn and observe both mirrors while backing very slowly.
What precautions must be taken by the driver
before leaving a vehicle parked on a grade?
If the vehicle is parked on a hill or an incline,
the front wheels must be turned so that, if the
vehicle moves, it will roll off the road.
What decides the amount of control the driver
has over a vehicle on a curve
a vehicle's size, speed and weight increase. This increases the risk
What would be the effect on a vehicle that is travelling too fast in a curve?
A vehicle travelling around a curve develops a force called centrifugal force. The higher
the speed, the greater the centrifugal force. The two forces (momentum and centrifugal)
conflict with each other because centrifugal force tends to push a vehicle outwards from
the centre of the curve.
Should the driver slow the vehicle in a curve
or before entering the curve?
In order to reduce the hazards, lower your speed before you enter the curve and, if
needed, gradually apply slight power while in the curve.
