FTT Flashcards
*When a long vehicle makes a U-turn, it usually moves to the (right, left, right then left)
Left
*To prevent ‘free wheeling’, you should not (depress accelerator, depress the foot brake to soon, or depress the clutch too soon)
Depress the clutch too soon (releasing the engine too soon)
What is the correct footwork when changing from 2nd gear to 3rd gear ?
Release the accelerator pedal and depress the clutch pedal at the same time.
*When you’re reversing to the right, you should turn your steering wheel (to the right, right then left, left)

*The handbrake is used when (driving up a hill, controlling the speed of the car, when the car is stationary during stopping, waiting and parking)
When the car is stationary during stopping, waiting and parking
Worn out tyres and improper air pressure are other factors that (reduce frictional force, increase the effect pf braking, reduce the force of impact)
Reduce frictional force
Braking is more effective when you depress the brake pedal (with the clutch depressed, with the gear engaged, with the gear lever in “Neutral”)
With the gear engaged
**Which set of wheels does the handbrake control (front, rear)
Rear
To go round a mild bend with a STEADY SPEED, you should (depress the accelerator slightly, use the half-clutch technique, apply brakes)
Depress the accelerator slightly
*When can you use the right lane of a two-way carriageway? (When your path is obstructed by road works or parked vehicles, When your speed is higher than that of the speed limit, When the right lane is free of traffic)
When your path is obstructed by road works or parked vehicles
*When driving an automatic car, you would select a lower gear (to slow the car down in normal driving, before stopping, to control speed when going down a steep hill)
To control speed when going down a steep hill
Heads on collisions can actually happen at
Any place
When a long vehicle makes a left turn, it usually moves to the (right, left then right, left)
Right before turning
Just before you move UP-SLOPE which brake should you apply? (Footbrake, handbrake, both)
Handbrake
Before you move off a slope, which brake should you release? (handbrake, footbrake, both)
