At night, a low beam headlight on your car fails. Why may you continue driving if the parking light still works?

Because other road users can still see that a multi-track motor vehicle is approaching

Because the low beam regenerates itself during a short cooling period

Because my car would still be visible to other road users if I stopped

Because other road users can still see how wide my vehicle is

You are driving in this tunnel at 80 km/h. Suddenly this warning light comes on. Why should you disengage the clutch and roll into the emergency bay or parking niche?

In case of engine damage, the car can skid or spin

If the car does not stop in the emergency bay or parking niche, the danger of a rear-end collision is extremely high

If I continue driving, engine damage can occur

If I continue driving, there is a danger that the engine will catch fire

Why should you equip your car with winter tires in winter?

Because the vehicle is less likely to skid when braking

Because snow chains may only be mounted on winter tires

Because the grip is better at low road temperatures

Because this reduces fuel consumption

13 / 15
