1 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 59

When you drive past a site where there is ongoing road work:

AYou should reduce speed according to the traffic warning signs placed there and change lane carefully if there is lane closureOfficial answer
BYou should speed up and rush to be the first one to change lane if there is lane closure
CYou should reduce speed according to the traffic warning signs placed there and, if there is lane closure, stop the vehicle with caution and get out to inspect the condition of the structure of the road work
DYou should keep honking the horn as a warning and drive through it quickly so as not to block traffic
2 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 60

When you drive past a site where there is ongoing road work, especially on road sections covered by metal plates, besides paying attention to the condition of the structure of the road work, you should also:

AReduce speed. If not, the vehicle will easily skid and cause accidentsOfficial answer
BSpeed up to avoid accidents caused by the road caving in
CBe prepared to brake suddenly so as to prevent the vehicle from skidding
DStop the vehicle and verify whether it is safe to drive through
3 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 61

On sections where there is ongoing road work, you are not to reverse, turn around, overtake or stop. You are to:

AFollow the vehicle in front closely so as to prevent the vehicle behind from crashing into yours
BKeep adequate following and lateral distance between vehicles in case they skidOfficial answer
CKeep a distance longer than 10 metres from the vehicle in front so as to prevent collision
DDrive at a speed adjusted according to the traffic flow and the approaching vehicles but not lower than 60 km/h
4 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 62

When you drive past a site where there is ongoing road work, you should pay attention to the operating area of the heavy machines and:

AStay out of their wayOfficial answer
BQuickly drive through it
CBe prepared to jump out of the vehicle to escape them
DBrake suddenly and get out to observe the situation considered dangerous
5 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 63

When driving on bad roads like those covered with gravel or mud, instead of stopping, you should keep the vehicle moving so that it can regain momentum more easily. Also, it is advisable for you to, in general:

AUse the first gear, which makes your vehicle powerful though slow in speed
BUse the second gear, which makes your vehicle fairly powerful though not too fast in speedOfficial answer
CUse the third gear, which makes your vehicle fairly powerful though not too slow in speed
DUse the fourth gear, which makes your vehicle fairly powerful though fast in speed
6 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 64

If your vehicle is stuck in mud when travelling on a bad road:

ATo prevent the wheels from spinning but not moving, thus sinking deeper into the mud, you should not accelerate too hardOfficial answer
BTo prevent the wheels from sinking deeper into the mud, you should accelerate immediately and with full force
CTo prevent the wheels from sinking deeper into the mud, in all situations you should stop accelerating
DTo prevent the wheels from sinking deeper into the mud, you can only brake immediately
7 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 65

The steps to get a manual transmission vehicle out of mud are:

AFirst, shift to the first gear (or the reverse gear), press down the clutch to accelerate gradually and, at the same time, release the clutch slowly, so as to increase rolling force while maintaining a moderate speedOfficial answer
BFirst, shift to the second gear, press down the clutch to accelerate rapidly and, at the same time, release the clutch quickly, so as to increase rolling force and speed
CFirst, shift to the fourth gear, press down the clutch to accelerate gradually and, at the same time, release the clutch slowly, so as to increase rolling force and speed
DSimply shift to the reverse gear, press down the clutch to accelerate rapidly and, at the same time, release the clutch quickly, so as to increase rolling force and maintain a moderate speed
8 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 66

The steps to get an automatic transmission vehicle out of mud are:

AFirst shift to “D” mode (or to reverse gear), accelerate slowly to increase the rolling force and maintain a moderate speed. The gear for acceleration or climbing can be used at this time to increase powerOfficial answer
BShift to “D” mode only, accelerate rapidly to increase rolling force and speed. The gear for acceleration or climbing can be used at this time to increase power
CShift to reverse gear only, accelerate rapidly to increase rolling force and speed. The gear for acceleration or climbing can be used at this time to increase power
DShift to “N” mode, accelerate slowly to increase rolling force and maintain a moderate speed. The gear for acceleration or climbing can be used at this time to increase power
9 of 9 · Fascicule 5, question 67

When a vehicle is stuck deep in mud, you can use a jack to lift it up, place wood blocks or rocks under its tyres and then start it. But, when it is not possible to use a jack:

AYou can reduce the pressure of the tyres that are stuck and spinning so as to increase the friction between them and the road surface, place wood blocks or rocks under the tyres and then use low gear to accelerate slowly, thus freeing the vehicle from the mudOfficial answer
BYou can reduce the pressure of the tyres that are stuck and spinning so as to increase the friction between them and the road surface, place wood blocks or rocks under the tyres and then use high gear to accelerate quickly, thus freeing the vehicle from the mud
CYou can release all the air from the tyres that are stuck and spinning so as to increase the friction between them and the road surface, place wood blocks or rocks under the tyres and then use high gear to accelerate quickly, thus freeing the vehicle from the mud
DYou can increase the pressure of the tyres that are stuck and spinning so as to increase the friction between them and the road surface, place wood blocks or rocks under the tyres and then use low gear to accelerate quickly, thus freeing the vehicle from the mud
