Why should a loaded Category C truck leave more following distance than a light car?

• CA truck may ignore normal priority rules
• DIts tyres cannot grip dry roads

When should tyre pressures on a heavy goods vehicle normally be checked against the manufacturer's specification?

Which formula gives a vehicle's available payload when its PTAC and empty weight are known?

• APTAC multiplied by empty weight
• BEmpty weight divided by PTAC

A weighbridge shows that a truck exceeds its PTAC. What is the safe and lawful response before continuing?

• ARedistribute or remove enough load and verify compliance
• BDrive faster to shorten the trip
• CLower tyre pressure to spread the load
• DContinue if the road is dry

Where should the densest items generally be placed when loading a box truck?

• AHigh and at the rear doors
• BAll on one side
• COn the roof to free floor space
• DLow, secured, and distributed around the vehicle's centerline

What is the main purpose of blocking and lashing cargo?

• ATo prevent movement during braking, turning and acceleration
• BTo increase the truck's permitted PTAC
• CTo replace proper weight distribution
• DTo make an overloaded vehicle legal

NARSA's loading guidance allows no forward projection and limits a load projecting behind the vehicle to what distance?

• A1 metre
• B5 metres
• C3 metres
• DAny distance if a red cloth is attached

According to NARSA's loading guidance, what maximum overall width should a loaded vehicle normally respect?

• B2.55 metres
• C3.00 metres
• D3.50 metres

What does the compressor do in a truck's pneumatic braking system?

• ACools the brake drums with water
• BApplies the steering lock
• CMeasures cargo weight
• DSupplies compressed air to the system's reservoirs

Why does a compressed-air brake system use an air dryer?

• ATo increase tyre tread depth
• BTo remove moisture and contaminants before air reaches the reservoirs
• CTo make the exhaust quieter
• DTo cool the cargo compartment

Why are spring brakes designed to apply when their hold-off air pressure is lost?

• ATo make steering lighter
• BTo reduce tyre pressure
• CTo provide a fail-safe parking or emergency application
• DTo increase engine power

What is the principal benefit of using a retarder on a long descent?

• AIt increases legal payload
• BIt changes the truck's licence category
• CIt shortens the vehicle wheelbase
• DIt controls speed while reducing heat buildup in the service brakes

What is brake fade?

• AImproved braking as components become hotter
• BA temporary loss of braking effectiveness caused by excessive heat
• CNormal ABS vibration during an emergency stop
• DA low engine-oil warning

What is the best technique before beginning a long, steep descent in a loaded truck?

• ASelect a suitable low gear early and establish a safe speed
• BCoast in neutral to save fuel
• CTurn off the engine
• DAccelerate so momentum carries the truck uphill later

How does placing a heavy load high above the truck floor affect cornering stability?

• AIt eliminates rear-wheel off-tracking
• BIt reduces the truck's overall height
• CIt raises the center of gravity and increases rollover risk
• DIt guarantees equal axle loading

Why can a partly filled tanker behave unpredictably during braking or cornering?

• AThe liquid permanently lowers the center of gravity
• BThe tank removes all lateral forces
• CLiquid movement improves steering response
• DThe liquid can surge, shifting force and load inside the tank

What does rear-wheel off-tracking mean when a long truck turns?

• AThe rear wheels follow exactly the front-wheel path
• BThe rear wheels take a tighter path inside the front wheels
• CThe rear wheels always slide outward

A truck turns sharply left. Why must the driver also monitor the truck's right rear corner?
