module 3.4 acceleration and decelaration quiz

Question 1

cover the accelerator

Answer 1

used for a smooth transition from braking to accelerating

allows the vehicle to coast which may speed up or slow down

permits the driver to be prepared for any needed acceleration

Question 2

progressive, smooth acceleration

Answer 2

heel pivots from the brake pedal to the accelerator

gently apply pressure to the accelerator pedal to gradually increase speed to minimize backward pitch and maintain vehicle balance

Question 3

thrust acceleration

Answer 3

typically used when passing or merging into higher speed traffic

greater pressure is applied to accelerator pedal to rapidly increase speed without losing tire traction

Question 4

smooth braking technique

Answer 4

is a trait of a skilled driver

saves gasoline, and wear and tear on the brake system and tires

use ball of your foot to press pedal

Question 5

methods to reduce speed

Answer 5

use controlled braking prior to reaching the curve

begin easing off the brake, and trail the brake with very light pressure until halfway through the turn

accelerate out of the turn
