Vehicle Safety
Vehicle Safety tests seat belts, emergency equipment, fire response, and safe habits such as railroad-crossing procedure. The exam expects you to use safety equipment correctly, not just carry it.
Belts and equipment
Wear the seat belt and shoulder harness whenever the vehicle is moving; they keep you in control and prevent ejection. Carry a fire extinguisher, warning triangles, and fuses or spare bulbs as required. Know how to use triangles: place them behind the vehicle on the traffic side and at the required distances. Check the extinguisher gauge and mounting.
Fire and railroad crossings
If fire breaks out, stop, shut off the engine, get people out, and call for help. At railroad crossings, slow down, stop if required, look and listen, and do not stop on the tracks. Never shift gears on a crossing.
Worked example
Smoke appears from under the hood. Reasoning: opening the hood feeds oxygen. Stop safely, shut off the engine, get everyone out, and use the extinguisher only on a small fire from a safe distance.
Traps
Skipping the seat belt for short moves, carrying an empty extinguisher, and stopping on tracks are common errors. Safety equipment only helps if it is ready and used correctly.
