Road test failures may result from…?
- Unsafe actions
- Difficulty obeying traffic laws
- Any/all of these ✓
- Lack of skill and control
Answer: C. Any/all of these
Road test failures may result from any of these: unsafe actions, difficulty obeying traffic laws, or lack of skill and control.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says a safe, responsible driver needs a mix of knowledge, skill and attitude, and must know the traffic laws that help traffic move safely. It also says that on a road test you must show the proper skills for operating a vehicle without relying on driving aids. A failure report points out where you need to improve. Since the test looks at safe actions, following traffic laws and vehicle control, a shortfall in any of these areas can lead to failure.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Unsafe actions — Unsafe actions are only one possible cause; the handbook's view of safe driving also includes knowledge of traffic laws and operating skill, so this choice is too narrow.
- B. Difficulty obeying traffic laws — Difficulty obeying traffic laws is only one part; the road test also checks proper vehicle operating skills, so it does not cover all failure sources.
- D. Lack of skill and control — Lack of skill and control is only one part; the handbook also ties safe driving to knowing and following traffic laws, so this alone is incomplete.
Remember it
Think of the road test as checking the whole package: safe choices, lawful driving and vehicle control.
