Rules of the road textbook - Second Step Flashcards
Motor vehicles create blind spots due to their structure.
True.
If you cannot see another vehicles in a rearview mirror, it means there is no following vehicles.
False.
There are several blind spots on the mirrors.
Because there are more blind spots when there is a chain of parked vehicles, it is more dangerous to drive there.
True.
Because small children may be hidden behind parked vehicles, anticipate that children may jump out when driving beside parked vehicles.
True.
From a point of view of four-wheeled drivers, speed of a motorcycle feels faster than it’s actual speed.
False.
It feels slower than it’s actual speed.
A four-wheeled driver often feels that a motorcycle is closer than it’s actual position.
False.
Motorcycles tend to appear far even when they are close.
It is necessary for a driver to constantly anticipate danger while driving.
True.
When riding a motorcycle, position yourself where you can always be seen by four-wheeled vehicles and try not to enter their blind spots.
True.
When making a right turn at an intersection, if the oncoming vehicle gives way, you should proceed in a hurry to avoid making the oncoming vehicle to wait.
False.
No need to proceed in a hurry.
The meaning of “passing signal” may differ due to the situation, so it is necessary to pay attention to the movement of the vehicle sending the “passing signal”.
True.
To drive safely, it is important to know one’s characteristics and habits, and try to supplements for those.
True.
Drivers have gotten used to driving when one year has passed after acquiring a driver’s license, so they do not need to drive as careful as when you are the beginner drivers.
False.
Always drive carefully and defensively.
Because I was in a hurry, and the vehicle in front is driving slower than the speed limit, I sounded the horn.
False.
Because when you are overtaken forcibly, you can no longer drive calmly, it is better to overtake back to feel better.
False.
If there are worries on your mind, you may not be able to concentrate while driving and overlook necessary information. Therefore, it is important to adjust your mind.
True.
If you have a priority at an intersection, etc., it is better to insist and drive.
False.
Always evaluate the current situation before acting.
Self-centered driving not only causes inconvenience for other traffic and brings about danger, but you yourself is also in danger
True.
Even if one is confident about one’s driving, there is danger of causing a serious accident if it is not possible to refrain from speeding.
True.
Recognition, judgment, and action are important in driving. However the majority of the traffic accidents are delay of recognition and overlooking the dangers.
True.
The response time can be divided to the reaction time, the time to change step, and the action time.
True.
The faster the speed, the narrower the driver’s visual field and tends to look far ahead, pedestrians near the vehicle may be overlooked.
True.
When entering the tunnel, a driver can see well if they turn on their headlights, so it’s better not
to reduce speed.
False.
When entering a tunnel is recommended to reduce the speed and drive carefully.
When you move suddenly from a dark place to a bright place, at first it is dazzling and difficult to see, but you can see after some time. This is called dark adaptation.
False.
That’s light adaptation.
Because motorcycles are small, they are sometimes felt slower than the actual speed and are felt further than the actual position.
True.
When driving long distance, it is easier to get tired on two-wheeled vehicles, so take a break every two hours. For four-wheeled vehicles, take a break every four hours.
False.
Break every 2 hours applies to all vehicles.
After drinking alcohol, regardless of the amount, the ability to pay attention and judgment becomes dull, and human functions also decrease. Therefore, you must not drive.
True.
There is no difficulty to actual driving even if you don’t have the knowledge or don’t know the influences about inertia, friction, and centrifugal force, etc.
False.
Not knowing the influences of inertia, friction and centrifugal force can lead to accidents.
When applying the brake, at first, apply lightly and let the brake light flashes a few times. After that, gradually increase the pressure on the brake pedal to stop at the desired position.
True.
When loading goods, the higher the center of gravity, the more stable becomes while driving.
False.
The lower the center of gravity, the more stable becomes while driving.
When turning on a curve, the centrifugal force increases in proportional to the square of speed. Therefore, if the speed is doubled, the centrifugal force is also doubled.
False.
If doubled, the centrifugal force is quadrupled.
Vapor lock phenomenon happens when the foot brake is overused, and air bubbles appear as a result of overheating, and the brake becomes ineffective.
True.
When passing-by with other vehicles on a slope, even if the vacant space is on the uphill side, as a vehicle driving on the uphill has a priority, the driver kept driving without stopping.
False.
When there is a vacant space, regardless of uphill and downhill, wait in that space.
When riding a motorcycle, put your feet on the step, and point your toes forward, and grip the fuel tank with both knees.
True.
When turning in a curve on a motorcycle, instead of turning the handlebars, incline the motorcycle to let it turn naturally.
True.
A motorcycle has three brakes: a front wheel brake using a brake lever, a rear wheel brake using a brake pedal or a brake lever, and an engine brake.
True.
Because you cannot do a knee grip when riding an automatic motorcycle, you’d better put your legs outside of the step board for balance.
False.
On AT motorcycle, maintain the sitting position and change the position of the feet on the step board, or change the weight you put on the right and left legs to keep the balance.
A dazzle means, when you see directly into the headlight of the oncoming vehicle, there is a moment you cannot see because it is too bright.
True.
The evaporation phenomenon means when a crossing pedestrian becomes invisible at night between your own and the oncoming vehicle’s headlights.
True.
At night, when parking or stopping on the road, even when the street lights allow them to be seen 50 m from behind, they must turn on one of the hazard lights, parking lights, and rail lights.
False.
Only when the street light do not allow the vehicle to be seen at 50 meters or less.
