True or false, like the real check. You see the answer after each question.
1If nobody was hurt and only property was damaged, you do not have to report the accident to the police.
Answer: × You must report to the police not only the number of casualties and their injuries but also the extent of damage to property. Reporting is required even for property-damage-only accidents.
2After an accident you must report the place, the number of casualties and their injuries, the extent of property damage and the cargo carried to the police, and follow their instructions.
Answer: ○ The report covers the date and place of the accident, the number of casualties and the degree of injuries, the extent of property damage, the cargo, and the measures taken.
3Even in the daytime, you must turn on your headlights when driving through a tunnel or dense fog where you cannot see 50 metres ahead.
Answer: ○ On expressways, the figure is 200 metres.
4At night, keep your headlights on high beam even when passing an oncoming vehicle, so that you can see pedestrians earlier.
Answer: × When passing an oncoming vehicle, or when following directly behind another vehicle, you must dim your headlights or switch to low beam.
5When a driver is tired, it takes longer to notice danger and decide, so the reaction distance gets longer.
Answer: ○ Fatigue slows reactions, so the car travels farther before the brakes begin to work.
6If speed doubles, braking distance also doubles.
Answer: × Braking distance increases with the square of the speed, so doubling the speed makes it four times longer.
7When vehicles merge onto the main carriageway, the vehicles already on it must give way to the merging vehicle.
Answer: × A vehicle entering the main carriageway must not obstruct vehicles already travelling on it.
8On the main carriageway of an expressway with no minimum speed sign, you must not normally drive slower than 50 km/h.
Answer: ○ The minimum speed on the main carriageway of an expressway without a sign is 50 km/h. The exceptions are when the law requires you to slow down, or when it is unavoidable to prevent danger.
9At an intersection with no signal or other traffic control, where you are not on a priority road and the view to left and right is blocked, you must slow down (jokō).
Answer: ○ Jokō, a speed at which you can stop immediately, is required at such blind intersections.
10After stopping at a 'stop' sign, you have the right of way over vehicles on the crossing road.
Answer: × Even after stopping, you must not obstruct vehicles on the crossing road.
