Question 7

It is seeing, feeling, or hearing and understanding the unusual or unexpected movement or condition that could be taken as a sign of the accident about to happen.

Answer 7

Perception of Hazard

Question 8

It is the movement into the path assigned to another traffic unit. Perhaps the most important encroachment is crossing a center or barrier line.

Answer 8

Encroachment

Question 9

It is the first action taken by a traffic unit to escape from a collision course or otherwise avoid a hazard. This is the “reaction” of the driver to his perception and is the end of driver reaction time.

Answer 9

Start of Evasive Action

Question 10

It is the first accidental touching of an object collided with by a traffic unit in motion. Before this, there is no force between the objects colliding, afterwards there is force.

Answer 10

Initial Contact

Question 11

It is the greatest collapse or overlap in a collision. The force between the traffic unit and the object collided with are greatest at maximum engagement.

Answer 11

Maximum Engagement

Question 12

It is the separation of a traffic unit in motion from an object with which it has collided. Force between the objects ceases at this time.

Answer 12

Disengagement

Question 13

It is coming to rest. It usually stabilizes the accident situation. Stopping may occur with or without control by the driver or pedestrian.

Answer 13

Stopping

Question 14

It is the place and time at which the unusual or unexpected movement or conditions could have been perceived by a normal person. This point always comes at or before the point of perception.

Answer 14

Point of Possible Perception

Question 15

It is the place and time after or beyond which the accident cannot be prevented by the traffic unit under consideration. Nothing the driver or pedestrian can do will save him from this point on, although they can still able to mitigate the accident.

Answer 15

. Point of No Escape

are any marks to the pavement or ground left without sliding by tires on rotating wheels.

Answer 27

Imprints

Question 28

are marks left on the road by tires that are not free to rotate usually because brakes are applied strongly enough to lock wheels. Wheels may also be locked by damage resulting from collision. A wheel free to rotate may leave a skid-mark if it is sliding directly sidewise, i.e., parallel to its axis.

Answer 28

Skid-marks

Question 29

are signs left on the road by tires that are sliding or scrubbing while the wheel is still turning.

Answer 29

Scuff-marks

Question 30

are marks left on a road by sliding parts of motor vehicles other than tires. There are sometimes considered as a kind of skid-marks because they sometimes look like and are occasionally mistaken for permanent grinding.
