Domanda 6 di 25
What should you do before going down a long, steep hill in a lorry?
- Stay in a high gear and use only the footbrake all the way
- Choose a lower gear before the descent, and use the endurance brake
- Select neutral at the top and coast down to save fuel
- Speed up near the top so the descent takes less time
Mostra la risposta
Risposta: B. Choose a lower gear before the descent, and use the endurance brake
A lower gear and an endurance brake (retarder) help control speed so the service brakes do not overheat and fade.
Domanda 7 di 25
What can happen if you use the footbrake continuously on a long downhill stretch?
- The fuel will start to freeze
- The tyres will over-inflate
- The brakes can overheat and fade
- The engine will stall
Mostra la risposta
Risposta: C. The brakes can overheat and fade
Continuous braking makes brakes overheat and lose effectiveness. Use a lower gear and the retarder.
Domanda 8 di 25
Why should you avoid coasting downhill in neutral?
- It is only allowed on motorways
- You lose engine braking and have less control
- It wears out the tyres more quickly
- It stops the tachograph recording
Mostra la risposta
Risposta: B. You lose engine braking and have less control
Coasting removes engine braking, so the brakes have to do all the work and you have less control.
Domanda 9 di 25
What does an anti-lock braking system (ABS) help you do in an emergency stop?
- Keep steering control while braking hard
- Drive faster in the wet
- Brake without pressing the pedal
- Stop in half the distance on any surface
Mostra la risposta
Risposta: A. Keep steering control while braking hard
ABS stops the wheels locking, so you can still steer. It does not always shorten stopping distances.
Domanda 10 di 25
Your lorry has air brakes. What should you do if the low air pressure warning comes on while driving?
- Pump the brake pedal to build air
- Keep driving to your depot
- Stop safely as soon as possible and get help

Mostra la risposta
Risposta: C. Stop safely as soon as possible and get help
A low air warning means braking pressure is falling. Stop safely and do not drive on until it is fixed.
Domanda 11 di 25
Why should you drain the air tanks on a lorry with air brakes regularly?
- To make the lorry lighter and save fuel on long trips
- To test that the horn and air seats are working
- To let you refill the tanks with brake oil
- To remove water that collects and can freeze or damage the system
Mostra la risposta
Risposta: D. To remove water that collects and can freeze or damage the system
Water collects in air tanks and can freeze or damage valves. Tanks without automatic drains need draining.
