True. The force of impact is related to the square of the speed at which a vehicle is traveling. Therefore, if you increase the speed from 30 mph to 60 mph, the impact force increases by a factor of four (since ( (60/30)^2 = 4 )). This illustrates how significantly speed affects the severity of collisions.
Avoid locking your brakes when you are braking in an emergency situation?
In an emergency situation, it's crucial to avoid locking your brakes, as this can lead to a loss of traction and control over the vehicle. Instead, practice threshold braking by applying firm but controlled pressure to the brake pedal, allowing for maximum deceleration while maintaining steering ability. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS), you should apply steady pressure to the brakes without pumping them, as the system will manage braking more effectively. This approach helps maintain control and can reduce stopping distance on slippery surfaces.
When you park next to a curb your wheels must be no more than?
When you park next to a curb, your wheels must be no more than 18 inches away from the curb. This regulation helps ensure that vehicles are parked safely and do not obstruct traffic or pedestrians. Adhering to this guideline is important for maintaining order on the road and avoiding potential fines.
depends on what im driving if i have a v8 ill pass if i have a 4 banger i wont because i could die, car would be too slow to doit quick and safely
What do triangle road signs mean?
To yield to that corner or to watch for the people there
In sign language, a triangle means a girl's private area. (vag!na). And it's actually a curse or calling someone something.
Where is the thermostat on a 1994 vr comodore?
A 1994 VR Commodore thermostat housing is located where the at the end of the large lower radiator hose. There will be a small housing with two screws. Be sure to drain the coolant before attempting to remove the thermostat.
something like 60,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on driving style and vehicle type.
because being drunk impairs your vision, balance, and pain.
What happens if you speed in a car over a speed bump?
If you are going fast enough you will bottom out, meaning the bottom will hit the ground, can casue serious damage if hits hard, but can hit a few times lightly, the cars are made to have some strenghth to them.
What the P0911 code means?
A P0911 trouble code means that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected a fault with the gate select actuator circuit. Other codes often associated with a P0911 trouble code include a P0904, P0905, P0906, P0907, P0908, P0909, P0910, P0912, and P0913 trouble code. The PCM uses the gate select actuator circuit to help when shifting gears while driving. When the actuator fails to work properly, a trouble code is stored and the Check Engine Light illuminates.
Causes of P0911 code:
1. Faulty or damaged wiring and connectors.
2. A bad transmission gate select actuator circuit.
3. A damaged PCM or Transmission Control Module (TCM)
Symptoms of P0911 code:
1. Transmission slippage or a failure to go into a certain gear
2. Reduced fuel efficiency in the vehicle
How to troubleshoot the code?
To diagnose a P0911 trouble code you need an advanced OBD scanner, specialized scanner, Control Area Network (CAN) Bus wiring diagram, auxiliary ground cable, and a digital volt/ohm meter. They must also perform the following steps:
1. Check all wiring, connectors, and components for fault or damage.
2. Once you have replaced any faulty or damaged wiring, connectors, or components, you should clear the code and test the system to see if the trouble code persists.
3. If the code persists, you should use a digital volt meter to check the voltage and ground signal at the gate select actuator circuit.
4. If no voltage or ground signal is present, you should disconnect the PCM and all relevant control modules and test the continuity of the gate select actuator circuit.
5. In addition to the Can Bus wiring harness, you should check the continuity between the PCM and the gate select actuator circuit switch.
6. Test the continuity of the TCM to see if it is at fault.
7. Finally, test the continuity of the PCM to see if it has gone bad.
8. Clear the P0911 trouble code and retest the system to see if the code returns.
NOTE: Vehicle owners should have a P0911 trouble code fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the vehicle transmission could start slipping or fail to shift into specific gears altogether.
To repair a P0911 trouble code, you need to perform the following repairs:
1. Replace any damaged or faulty wiring, connectors, or other components.
2. Replace the gate select actuator circuit if it tests badly.
3. Replace the gate select actuator switch if faulty.
4. Replace any CAN Bus harness wiring found to be damaged or at fault.
5. The mechanic should also make sure all wiring and connectors are firmly in place.
6. Replace the PCM or TCM if either is diagnosed as bad.
Where is it legal to drive drunk?
No. that's why you can get arrested for a DUI, which stands for Driving Under the Influence. It presents a danger to you and others.
How much faster should you be traveling than the vehicle you are passing?
You can only travel within the posted speed limits and the overtaking procedure must be attempted only if you believe it can be done safely.
I'd be more worried about being an unlicensed/underage driver than the fine for speeding. If you are not a legal driver, you will not be able to simply pay the fine and avoid court.
How do you find out your driving instructors ADI number?
You will need to ask your driving instructor for it, as the DSA doesn't make that information available to the public.
The ADI number is a unique reference given to every DSA approved driving instructor and can be found on the green badge which all legal instructors should dispay while giving paid instruction.
If you are paying for driving lessons, you have a right to ask to see the instructors licence (trainee instructors have a red/Pink badge), if an instructor can't produce one, they maybe operating illegally.
You don't need an ADI number to book a driving test see ADI number and driving test link below, but you should always make sure that you only take driving lessons from instructors who have a valid licence, check both the photos and expiry date, this will ensure you are getting quality tuition and up to date information regarding the driving test.
What is speed limit on snow covered roads?
The speed limit doesn't change, but you are expected to make a reasonable adjustment to your speed to compensate for the conditions. So basically, as fast as you can go at or below the speed limit without getting into a wreck.
What is 90 degree intersection its for driving?
I'll use a clock as an example.
Lets say you are standing on top of a clock which is painted on the floor, if you were to start by facing the 12:00 position and then turn towards the 3:00 position, you just turned 90 degrees.
If you start by facing 12:00 and then turn and face 6:00, you just turned 180 degrees.
If you were to stand and spin in a full circle, you turned 360 degrees.
A 90 degree intersection would be like making a basic right-hand turn.
Is it illegal to drive a car without flashing indicators in the UK?
Not necessarily.
Some cars were made with trafficators or no signals at all and these are legal to drive. But if the car is fitted with flashing indicators, they must work for the car to be considered road worthy. If you get caught driving a car with broken indicators, you'll probably just a get a defective vehicle notice.
If the car was never fitted with indicators, you must learn the hand signals.
How many car lengths is 20 meters?
20 meters would be equal to about 3 to 3.5 car lengths. A car length is about 20 feet. A meter is equal to about 3 feet 6 inches.
