This video provides a theory test revision covering vehicle safety aspects. It focuses on tire pressure, tread depth, shock absorbers, and fuel consumption, offering practical advice and tips for maintaining vehicle safety and efficiency.
Your answers are largely correct and accurately reflect the information in the transcript. Here's a slightly more detailed version incorporating specifics from the transcript:
What are the consequences of driving with under-inflated tires? Under-inflated tires negatively affect braking, steering, and fuel consumption. The steering may become heavy.
What is the minimum acceptable tread depth for tires, and how should it be measured? The minimum acceptable tread depth is 1.6 millimeters. It should be even around the entire outer circumference and across the central three-quarters of the tire's breadth (width).
How can a driver test their vehicle's shock absorbers? Push down on the front wing of the car. If the car continues to bounce after you release it, the shock absorbers might be worn and need to be checked by a mechanic.
What driving techniques can help reduce fuel consumption, and by approximately how much? Smooth driving can reduce fuel consumption by up to 15%. Reducing road speed (e.g., driving at 50 mph instead of 70 mph) can save up to 30% of fuel. Careful route planning also helps. Avoiding harsh braking and acceleration is crucial.
