1. Counter-steer
   Steer in the same direction as the skid.
2. Brake hard
   Accelerate hard

If your rear end starts to step out while you're driving over ice, you should counter-steer to correct the unwanted drift. For example, if you're going around a right-hand bend and the rear of your vehicle steps out to the left, you should turn your steering wheel to the left to correct the drift.

1. Not today, tailgate away
   One for me, two for you.
2. Only a fool breaks the two-second rule.
   Don't tailgate, won't tailgate.

Pick a point on the road ahead. As soon as the vehicle in front of you passes that point, say to yourself, "Only a fool breaks the two-second rule." If you can finish this saying before you pass the point you initially picked, you should be a safe distance behind the vehicle ahead of you. If it's wet, repeat this saying twice.

1. Coming to a stop too quickly
   Putting the car into reverse while driving forward
2. Pulling away too quickly
   Pulling away too slowly

It's almost impossible to stall a modern automatic car if it's mechanically sound. If your vehicle doesn't have a reverse inhibit feature and you put it into reverse while moving forward in drive, you may stall the engine.

1. Black and white
   Blue and red
2. Black and red
   Red and white

Jumper cables are always black and red, and for good reason. The black cable always houses the negative (-) part and the red cable always houses the positive (+) part.

1. All of them
   The front wheels
2. The rear wheels
   It depends on the direction you're turning.

Understeer occurs when your front tires lose traction while cornering. If you're carrying too much momentum when trying to turn, your car will keep traveling in the same direction even as you turn the steering wheel.

1. The rear
   They all wear at the same rate.
2. It depends on where the engine is mounted.
   The front

On front-wheel-drive (FWD) the front tires generally wear out faster than the rear. This is because the front tires need to deal with accelerating, turning and the majority of the braking.

1. One
   Two
2. Four
   Five

The term "roadster" was an American term given to two-seat cars which offered no weather protection. Now, however, the term is used internationally to include two-seat convertibles.

1. 6 p.m.
   At sunset
2. 30 minutes before sunset
   7 p.m.

Twilight, or the short time preceding the sunset, can be quite a dangerous time to be on the road. Visibility is greatly reduced yet many people don't switch on their headlights. To combat this, you must legally switch on your headlights 30 minutes before sunset in all states.

1. Any time
   To make a U-turn
2. To overtake someone
   If traffic conditions require

Normally you are never supposed to cross a solid white line on a highway. But, sometimes, traffic conditions may require you to cross a solid white line. For instance, if there was a collision in the lane ahead, you may need to cross the white line to keep traffic moving.

1. Stop on the line.
   Proceed with caution.
2. Pass through the junction quickly.
   You will merge with traffic ahead.

Unlike a solid yellow traffic light, which generally means slow down and stop, a flashing yellow light means to proceed with caution. The traffic facing the flashing yellow light has the right-of-way, whereas cross-traffic will have a flashing red light.

1. Whenever you want
   In an emergency
2. When the vehicle you're passing is traveling less than 30 mph
   If traffic is clear

A broken yellow line indicates that passing is allowed. However, you can't just pass whenever you want and must ensure that oncoming traffic is far enough away for you to complete the maneuver safely.

1. You need a chemical BAC test for an alcohol conviction.
   A Breathalyzer doesn't test your BAC.
2. A Breathalyzer tests your BAC.
   If you're physically fit, you'll have reduced BAC.

A Breathalyzer is a device used to test someone's blood alcohol level (BAC). If it shows that you're over the legal limit to drive, then you could be convicted.

1. The moment you get to the exit
   100 feet before the exit ramp
2. 200 feet before the exit ramp
   35 feet before the exit

You need to turn on your indicator and signal a turn at least 100 feet before the turn. This gives other drivers enough warning that you're about to initiate a maneuver.

1. Four
   Eight
2. Six
   None

A V-8 gasoline engine has eight cylinders. Each cylinder on a gasoline engine has a spark plug, so a V-8 powerplant has eight spark plugs.

1. To provide grip when the road is very hot
   To provide better grip on a cold day
2. To indicate when a tire has worn down too much
   To provide better grip when it's raining

As you drive over a wet surface, the treads on your tires essentially kick the water out to the side. This means that the part of the road your tires are in contact with is slightly drier and therefore has more grip.

1. The vehicle won't start.
   Its wheels might lock up under heavy braking.
2. Its acceleration will be worse than usual.
   It will have a rough idle.

A car's ABS (anti-lock braking system) stops the wheels from skidding when they begin to lose grip. This maintains tractive contact with the road surface and ensures better braking performance.

1. Bently
   Volkswagen Beetle
2. Mercedes-Benz
   BMW

BMW has a cult-like following, so of course it has some nicknames. "Bimmer" is just one of the many nicknames for a BMW, another popular one is "Beamer".

1. Pull the choke
   Keep the accelerator pedal down
2. Twist the key back and forth three times before trying to start it
   Keep the hood up while trying to start it

When you pull the choke on a carbureted engine, it restricts the airflow to the air/fuel mixture. This enriches the mixture which will then combust more easily.

1. A green square
   An orange square
2. An orange triangle
   A red circle

Orange triangular signs are placed on slow-moving vehicles (or smv). SMVs are vehicles which are being towed, or which are unable to reach speeds over 25 mph.

1. How fast you're traveling
   Your engine's RPM
2. The distance your vehicle has traveled
   The temperature inside the car

An odometer, also known as an odograph, measures the distance that a vehicle has traveled. This is something you'll always want to check on a second-hand car to see if it's had a long life on the road.

1. SUV
   Pickup
2. MVP
   Crossover

To qualify as a pickup, the vehicle must have an enclosed cab and an open cargo area with a tailgate and low sides. In America, Ford's F-150 has been the best-selling pickup for more than 40 years and the best-selling vehicle for over 30 years.

1. All of them
   The rear
2. It depends on the model.
   The front

FWD stands for "front-wheel drive." In FWD vehicles, all the engine's power is sent to the front two wheels.

1. 5 mph
   15 mph
2. 25 mph
   35 mph

It's true that it's possible to hydroplane below 35 mph. However, it's not very likely. Your chances of hydroplaning go up considerably once you hit 35 mph, and continue to rise if your speed increases beyond that.

1. Turn off the engine
   Keep pumping the brake pedal to increase pressure.
2. Lift the brake pedal up with your foot.
   Put the transmission into neutral

If your brake pedal drops to the floor, there's a chance that it's just lost pressure and you can build this pressure up by pumping the pedal repeatedly. If this works, it will hopefully provide enough stopping power to bring you to a complete stop, but you shouldn't drive again before fixing the problem.

1. Hit the brakes.
   Slow down by easing your foot off the accelerator.
2. Try to drive in a straight line at a constant speed.
   Drive in a lower gear.

Skids on black ice are the result of change. This could be a change in direction or speed, so the last thing you want to do is hit the brakes.

1. Yes
   It depends on the engine temperature.
2. It depends on the model.
   No

You need to quickly engage a car's clutch in order to bump start it. Automatic cars don't have a manual clutch, therefore you can't manually engage it.

1. Rolling-wheel drive
   Right-wheel drive
2. Rear-wheel drive
   Rear-wing diffuser

RWD stands for "rear-wheel drive." In RWD cars, all the power is sent to the rear wheels.

1. A Corvette
   A veterinarian's car
2. A veteran's car
   A car with a V-12 engine

The Corvette is possibly the most recognized American sports car ever made. And you don't get to be so popular without picking up some nicknames along the way. So this model is sometimes affectionately known as a "Vette."

1. The front
   All of them
2. The rear
   It depends on which direction you're turning.

When a car oversteers, the rear wheels lose traction. This is more common on rear-wheel-drive cars, and generally happens when the driver applies more power than the tires can handle.

1. Driving a vehicle with 1,000 horsepower
   Towing a ton worth of cargo
2. Going over 100 mph
   Driving a car that weighs less than a ton.

Doing the "ton" means traveling 100 mph or above and originated from the British café racing culture of the '60s. Achieving the magical 100 mph mark was a dream for the "Ton-Up-Boys" who tuned their motorcycles to go as fast as possible and usually rode a Vincent twin, Norton or Triumph.

1. A pickup truck
   A four-wheel-drive vehicle
2. A vehicle with four flat tires
   A vehicle with a four-cylinder engine

If a vehicle is "4X," it has a four-wheel-drive system. Not so long ago this would've been described as "4X4," but has lost the last "4" recently.

1. A quarter-mile
   A half-mile
2. A mile
   Two miles

A quarter-mile is the most common distance most people associate with drag racing. However, racing over an eighth-mile track is becoming more and more popular, and the premier drag racing classes run over 1,000 feet.

1. Revolutions per meter
   Rotations per meter
2. Rotations per minute
   Revolutions per minute

In the automotive world, when we talk about RPM we're referring to revolutions per minute. Specifically, this measures the number of times your engine's crankshaft makes one full rotation per minute.

1. Capri
   Mustang
2. Thunderbird
   GT40

The Mustang was revealed to the public at the New York World's Fair in 1964 and proceeded to dominate the American muscle scene. The 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 deserves a special mention with its 7.0-liter V-8 engine which pumped out a whopping 355 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.

1. Manual fuel injection
   Electronic carburetors
2. Electronic fuel injection
   Rotational carburetors

Most modern engines have EFI (or electronic fuel injection). With this system, injectors directly deliver the fuel into the combustion chamber.
