2 of 3 Levels

1 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

What can cause you to underestimate your own driving speed?

If I drive on a wide road

If I drive a large, quiet vehicle

If I accelerate strongly

If I drive at high speed for a long time

2 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

How do you behave when it starts to rain heavily during the day?

When driving one behind the other I keep a larger safety distance than normal

I turn on low beam, fog lights or high beam

I adapt my speed to the circumstances

I drive with the shortest possible safety distances

3 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

The car in front of you is driving at about 70 km/h. Why should you switch to high beam already after changing to the left lane?

To see poorly lit cyclists in oncoming traffic in time

Not to blind the driver of the vehicle ahead

To see pedestrians at the left edge of the road in time

To see the vehicle ahead better

4 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

Why will you reduce your speed significantly here?

Not to splash the pedestrian

Because of skidding danger

Because of aquaplaning danger

Not to splash the house

5 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

When is the engine braking effect sufficient on a downhill slope?

If the vehicle decelerates strongly without braking

If I have to constantly brake lightly

If the driving speed remains approximately the same without braking

If the engine does not get too hot

6 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

Your vehicle has a gasoline or diesel engine. How will you behave here?

I will avoid continuous braking

I drive in neutral to save fuel

I drive in a gear where the engine braking effect is sufficient

I drive at the lowest possible engine speed

7 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

How do you recognize that you have chosen the right gear on this road?

By the fact that I can only drive the desired speed at very high engine speed

By the fact that I can drive the desired speed already at low engine speed

By the fact that the engine does not get cold

By the fact that I can drive the desired speed without downshifting

8 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

After a long dry period it starts to rain. Based on what considerations do you choose your driving speed?

The road could be extremely slippery

I definitely expect special aquaplaning danger

I definitely do not drive faster than 10 km/h

Because of the extreme skidding danger I drive through curves more slowly

9 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

You are driving here with a multi-track motor vehicle. Where will you choose your driving path?

As far as possible to the right of the ruts, without crossing the edge line

In the ruts

Between the ruts

To the left of the ruts

10 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

Your vehicle has a gasoline or diesel engine. What problems arise if you drive uphill in the wrong gear?

When driving in too low a gear, the engine uses unnecessarily much fuel

The gearbox could be overloaded

When driving in too low a gear, the engine produces more exhaust than absolutely necessary

The brakes could fail

11 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

The car in front of you is driving at about 70 km/h. What do you observe if you want to overtake here?

That I am not being overtaken myself

That I only use low beam or fog lights when overtaking

Whether unlit road users appear at the left edge of the road

That I switch to high beam immediately after changing to the left lane

12 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

How do you check your adapted driving speed?

By consciously looking at the speedometer

By counting the safety distance

By observing other traffic

By the seconds method

13 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

The oncoming traffic does not dim. What dangers exist for you then?

I could overlook obstacles

I could leave my driving lane

I temporarily have no visibility

My light could blind the oncoming traffic

14 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

You are driving with low beam. The oncoming traffic does not dim. How do you behave?

I look into the headlights of the oncoming traffic

I will give a short warning signal with the headlight flasher

I will also switch to high beam

I will reduce speed according to the visibility distance

15 / 15

Category: Basic Knowledge -10- Speed Selection - Level 2

You want to change lanes here. What special dangers must you consider?

Slippery road markings can lead to skidding

Skidding danger when crossing the ruts

A longer braking distance

Poor visibility
