Sample questions

  1. If you need to both brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, how should you do it?

    • A Brake hard throughout the swerve
    • B Use only the front brake while swerving
    • C Brake before or after the swerve, never during it
    • D Use only the rear brake while swerving
    Show answer

    C. Brake before or after the swerve, never during it

    Swerving uses traction to change direction, and braking uses traction to slow. Doing both at once can overload the tires, so separate them: brake, then swerve, or swerve, then brake.
