Being in a hurry is not such a situation (Ch. 10).

c. steer opposite to the direction in which you want your vehicle to go.

If you start to skid, DON’T PANIC and don’t brake. Instead, stay calm, ease your foot off the accelerator, let your vehicle slow down gradually, and gently steer in the direction in which you want the front of your vehicle to go. In other words, if the rear of your vehicle skids left, steer left; if the rear of your vehicle skids right, steer right. Avoid braking. The vehicle may possibly overshoot and start to skid in the opposite direction. To prevent this, steer in the opposite direction as soon as your vehicle starts to straighten out. This procedure, known as “steering into the skid,” will bring the rear of your vehicle into line with the front.

b. collisions with automobiles.
Most fatal New Brunswick motorcycle crashes are due to collisions with automobiles. While some may have extenuating factors, a majority occur because the automobile driver simply doesn’t see the motorcyclist. That’s why it’s best, as a motorcyclist, to develop the habit of driving defensively - treat every car as if it can’t see you, and simply be pleasantly surprised by the ones who see you and give you plenty of space (Ch. 8).

You can have either points assessed against your licence or be charged a fine if there passengers under 16 not wearing their seat belts in your vehicle (Ch. 5).
When using a motor vehicle to tow a trailer, should the safety chain be attached to the hitch?
a. Only during summertime.
b. Only during the daytime.
c. Yes.
d. No.
d. No.
A safety chain is the secondary means of attachment to the object that you are towing, and it is meant to keep you from getting disconnected or losing control. Because of this, the safety chain should never be attached to the hitch, and should only be attached to the frame or bumper section of the motor vehicle, regardless of whether road or seasonal conditions are favorable (Ch. 3).
Which of the following statements about driving so slowly as to obstruct traffic is FALSE?
a. It greatly increases the chance of a collision.

c. It is an offence.
d. It’s almost as dangerous as driving too fast for conditions.
b. It can be done in any lane as long as the slow vehicle can see and be seen.
Under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act, it is an offence to drive at such a slow speed as to block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation. Should a driver find it necessary to drive at a slow speed, he or she must always keep well to the right and occasionally look back to see if traffic is being slowed down. If so, the driver must pull off the road and give the traffic a chance to pass. To delay traffic is an illegal act and greatly increases the chance of a collision. The “road hog” is a menace almost as great as someone who drives too fast for conditions.
