When checking tyre pressures immediately after driving on a high-speed road, you should release air if the measured pressure exceeds the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tyre pressure.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

False
Tyre pressures increase naturally during driving due to heat from road friction. Releasing air from a warm tyre reduces the mass of air inside, leaving the tyre underinflated once it returns to ambient temperature. Pressure must only be checked and adjusted when tyres are cold.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the thermal effect of driving on tyre pressure
Driving generates heat due to friction and continuous flexing of the tyre carcass, causing the air inside to expand and raise internal pressure above its resting baseline.
Understanding thermal expansion in pneumatic tyres explains why warm pressure readings naturally exceed cold specifications.
2
Evaluate the consequence of bleeding air from a hot tyre
Releasing air to match the cold specification removes necessary air mass, causing the tyre to become underinflated once it cools down.
Vehicle manufacturer pressure specifications are calibrated specifically for cold tyres before heat-induced pressure increases occur.
3
Determine the truth value of the statement
The statement is false because drivers must never release air from warm or hot tyres.
Safe vehicle maintenance requires waiting until tyres are cold before checking or adjusting pressure.

You are driving along an urban single carriageway and approach a stationary bus that has stopped to let passengers alight. Why should you reduce your speed and take particular care when passing the bus?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Pedestrians who have just alighted may emerge from in front of the bus to cross the road

Cevap

Pedestrians who have just alighted may emerge from in front of the bus to cross the road
When a bus pulls up to set down passengers, there is a significant risk that individuals will attempt to cross the road immediately in front of the vehicle. Because of the size and height of the bus, approaching drivers cannot see the pedestrians, and the pedestrians cannot see oncoming traffic until they step into the carriageway.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary hidden hazard associated with stationary passenger transport vehicles.
Recognise that the bulk of the bus creates a major sight obstruction for both approaching traffic and pedestrians.
Passengers stepping off a bus frequently look to cross the carriageway without walking to a formal crossing.
2
Evaluate the safest driving response when overtaking or passing the vehicle.
Lower speed and scan beneath and around the vehicle body for pedestrian movement.
Reducing speed provides vital thinking and braking distance if someone suddenly steps out from the blind zone created by the front of the bus.

Eşleşmeler

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

Wear on both outer shoulders pairs with under-inflation; wear along the central strip pairs with over-inflation; steering wheel wobble at speed pairs with unbalanced road wheels; and single-edge tread scrub pairs with incorrect wheel alignment (tracking).
Each tyre wear pattern directly reflects its mechanical cause: under-inflation places excessive load on the outer shoulders; over-inflation bows the centre tread outwards causing accelerated central wear; wheel imbalance causes dynamic vibration transmitted through the steering wheel at speed; and misaligned tracking causes the tyre to drag slightly at an angle, wearing one side or edge rapidly.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyse pressure-related tyre contact profiles.
Under-inflation transfers contact to both outer edges; over-inflation pushes the centre tread outward into excessive road contact.
Internal air pressure dictates how evenly the tyre tread footprint distributes the vehicle load across the road surface.
2
Analyse dynamic steering and suspension faults.
Rotational mass unevenness produces rhythmic steering vibration, while angular misalignments create continuous single-sided directional friction.
Distinguishing between rotational vibration (wheel balance) and directional scrubbing (tracking) is essential for accurate maintenance diagnosis.
3
Match each symptom directly to its root cause.
All four conditions are correctly mapped to their respective mechanical and maintenance causes.
Accurate pairing ensures correct corrective action is taken to restore legal tyre safety and vehicle handling.

On a dry road surface, a car travelling at 50 mph50\text{ mph} (80 km/h80\text{ km/h}) has a standard braking distance of 38 metres38\text{ metres}. According to The Highway Code, wet road conditions reduce tyre grip and cause the braking distance to double. What is the expected braking distance, in metres, for this car on a wet road surface?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 76

Cevap

The braking distance on a wet road surface is 76 metres.
Under wet road conditions, surface water creates a barrier between the tyre tread and the tarmac, significantly reducing friction. According to The Highway Code, this doubles the braking distance from the dry baseline of 38 metres38\text{ metres} at 50 mph50\text{ mph} to 76 metres76\text{ metres}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the base braking distance on a dry road surface
Dry braking distance = 38 metres38\text{ metres}
The Highway Code establishes 38 metres38\text{ metres} (125 feet125\text{ feet}) as the standard braking distance at 50 mph50\text{ mph} under dry, optimal conditions.
2
Apply the wet road condition factor
Multiplier = 22
Water on the road reduces tyre adhesion and increases the distance required for the vehicle's brakes to bring it to a complete stop by at least double.
3
Calculate the final wet braking distance
38 m×2=76 metres38\text{ m} \times 2 = 76\text{ metres}

1
Identify the dynamic hazard and road conditions.
A motorcyclist (a vulnerable moving hazard) is ahead in wet conditions on a road surface containing slippery metal or tram tracks.
Two-wheeled vehicles have significantly less contact area with the road and are easily destabilised by slick metal surfaces.
2
Determine the necessary defensive driving adjustment.
Increase the separation distance behind the motorcyclist.
The rider may need to alter their line to cross tracks at a safe angle or avoid metal covers, and there is a heightened risk of them falling.
3
Evaluate the validity of the statement.

Eşleşmeler

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

Block gear changing matches with reducing time spent accelerating through lower gears; switching off heated screens/air conditioning matches with relieving parasitic alternator load; easing off the accelerator early matches with preserving momentum and avoiding wasted brake heat; cruising at 60 mph rather than 70 mph matches with significantly lowering aerodynamic drag resistance.
Each eco-driving habit targets a specific source of energy expenditure: block gear changes shorten high-RPM acceleration periods; disabling high-draw electrical accessories reduces engine load via the alternator; early deceleration preserves kinetic energy and prevents waste via the brakes; and moderating motorway cruising speeds counteracts steep exponential increases in aerodynamic drag.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyse the mechanical effect of block gear changing
Identified that skipping gears gets the engine into an efficient higher gear faster, cutting down high-rev acceleration stages.
Lower gears operate at higher engine revolutions per minute (RPM) for a given road speed, consuming more fuel per mile.
2
Analyse the energy demands of auxiliary electrical systems
Identified that high-draw electrical components like heated elements and climate compressors increase alternator resistance on the engine.
The alternator is driven by the engine belt, so electrical demand directly increases fuel burn.
3
Evaluate the physics of forward momentum and deceleration
Identified that early deceleration avoids burning fuel to build speed that is immediately lost to friction braking.
Smooth anticipation uses natural engine braking and overrun fuel cut-off rather than turning kinetic energy into useless heat.
4
Evaluate the relationship between cruising speed and wind resistance
Identified that travelling at 60 mph versus 70 mph reduces the aerodynamic drag opposing the vehicle.
Air resistance increases with the square of vehicle speed, making higher cruising speeds disproportionately fuel-heavy.
