Evaluate adaptation to night, weather, and traction challenges.

Multiple Choice

#

Hydroplaning initial response:

Ease off accelerator, steer straight

Brake hard immediately

Accelerate to regain traction

Turn sharply

Gentle recovery restores grip.

#

Fog lighting choice:

Low beams

High beams

Parking lights only

Hazard lights continuously

Low beams reduce glare.

#

Primary reason bridges freeze before roads:

Exposed surfaces lose heat faster

Better insulation

More traffic friction

Painted lines retain cold

Exposure to air.

#

Night driving adaptation includes:

Increased following distance & scanning

High beams continuously in traffic

Reduced mirror use

Faster speed for clear roads

Compensate for reduced visibility.

#

Rear-wheel skid steering:

Steer toward intended path (direction of travel)

Steer opposite direction aggressively

Lock brakes

Turn hazard lights then accelerate

Align vehicle with path.

True / False

#

High beams improve visibility in dense fog.

False

True

Cause glare.

#

Gentle inputs help maintain traction on snow/ice.

True

False

Sudden moves break grip.

#

Hydroplaning can occur at moderate speeds with sufficient water depth.

True

False

Speed + water film lifts tires.

#

Skid recovery requires heavy braking first.

False

True

Braking can worsen skid.

#

Increasing following distance in adverse conditions is recommended.

True

False

More reaction time.

Scenario / Think & Reveal

1. Light rain after dry spell—road slick. Adjustment?

Reduce speed, increase following gap, smooth inputs.

2. Dense fog; vehicle behind tailgating. Strategy?

Maintain safe reduced speed, increase forward gap; avoid speeding due to pressure.

3. Rear begins to fishtail on icy curve. Response?

Steer gently toward intended path; avoid sudden brakes.

4. Hydroplaning sensation (engine revs, steering light). Action?

Ease off throttle, keep steering straight, wait for traction.

5. Approaching bridge in freezing temps after rain. Plan?

Reduce speed before bridge, avoid sudden maneuvers.
