Theory Exam - Meteoria

1. In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?

When driving on a sharp curve, it is required to stay in it as shortly as possible; hence his position is correct.
In sharp curves it is necessary to “cut” through the curve, in order to reduce the centrifugal force (the force that acts on the vehicle while it turns).

No, unless there is a signpost indicating otherwise.

10. What is the connection between the leaning angle and the turning of a motorcycle and the motorcycle’s headlight?

The more a motorcycle is leaned or turned, the more its rider suffers from self-blinding.
When you turn or lean the motorcycle, the strength of its lights decrease due to battery fluid level.
The more the motorcycle is leaned or turned, the more its light beam is diverted from the desired direction of driving.
