Emergencies

1. The correct answer is A, C, D, E. 

If your vehicle breaks down on an expressway, it is important that you open your trunk and hood, and hang something white on your car door handle if you possibly can. This will indicate that you need help. You also need to call for assistance, turn on your hazard warning lights, and stay away from the expressway.

2. The correct answer is C.

When the tire has a blowout, it suddenly becomes so much more difficult for the wheel to rotate. Since it also has a smaller radius, this makes the car pull into the direction of the blown out tire.

3. The correct answer is D.

You must do everything that you can to allow it to pass. You can pull to the right to give the ambulance more room and avoid slowing down shortens its time of exposure to danger (i.e. the time it takes to overtake you).

4. The correct answer is A, C.

Using the gap under the hood, that is, if the window hasn’t completely smashed, and your vision through the side window, you need to hit the brakes gently and pull over to the right.

5. The correct answer is A.

In the official LTO reviewer, the answer is “A” so this is what you must select in the actual LTO examination. However, it doesn’t really make sense to do this in an actual situation, as there are cases when picking up or even moving an injured person by yourself, especially if you’re unsure about the extent of the injury, can cause more problems instead. For example, if you’re not an expert, people who sustained injuries on their neck or back could get worse when mishandled by an amateur. In such cases, it is best to call an ambulance and let the paramedics do their job, which includes picking them up and bringing them to the nearest hospital.

6. The correct answer is B.

You should never step too hard on the brake during a skid. Instead, get your foot off the accelerator and brake pedals and steer gently in the direction you want the vehicle to go to.

7. The correct answer is A.

After a car crash, the first thing that you need to do is to check the condition of people involved in the accident. Once you have seen the extent of the problem, call an ambulance or a physician so victims can get immediate medical attention.

8. The correct answer is B.

The back end is likely to swing out first with the same side as the blowout. That said, you can expect it to sway from side to side.

9. The correct answer is C.

It is for this reason that drivers like yourself are advised to always carry an EWD (Early Warning Device). It is used so you can warn other road users regarding your stalled or disabled vehicle — protecting yourself and the other road users as well.

10. The correct answer is B.

If you are the first person to arrive at the scene, it’s best to approach the scene cautiously and park at a safe distance which is at least 100 feet away. You should also turn on your hazard lights, assess the situation, and install your Early Warning Device (EWD) when it is safe for you to do so. After you have done these, then you should now call 911 for help.

General Knowledge

1.  The correct answer is A.

Article IV Section 34 states that,

Brakes. – Every motor vehicle with four or more wheels shall be provided with a dual hydraulic brake system so that in case of hydraulic line failure affecting the braking efficiency of any of the four wheels at least either the front or rear wheels shall retain normal braking capabilities. In the absence of such dual braking system every motor vehicle with four or more wheels shall be provided with safety valve devices of such design and make so that failure of the hydraulic braking system of the vehicle because of leakage in the line or other parts of the system will not affect all wheels but rather render at all times effective the braking power of either the two front wheels or the two rear wheels when brakes are applied. 

This requirement, however, does not apply to motor vehicles equipped with a pneumatic braking system.

2. The correct answer is A.

This is very self-explanatory. If you drive recklessly and while  under the influence of alcohol, you have a very bad driving habit. Plus, it is also illegal.

3. The correct answer is A.

Imposed or authorized speed limits on roads are recommended under the assumption that the roads are in the best condition (i.e. dry, without potholes or heavy traffic, good lighting). If you’re driving at night in an expressway with poor lighting, then you wouldn’t want to drive close to the max speed limit; instead you’d want to drive slower than the maximum speed limit but not slower than the minimum speed limit because it’s the safe way to do so.

4. The correct answer is C.

Imposed speed limits on roads are recommended under the assumption that the roads are in the best condition (i.e. dry, without potholes or heavy traffic, good lighting). Let’s say you’re driving at night in an expressway with poor lighting, you wouldn’t want to drive close to the max speed limit; instead you would want to drive slower than the maximum speed limit and not slower than the minimum speed limit because it’s safer to do so.

5. The correct answer is B.

Drivers like you can easily avoid getting a fixed-stare if you would constantly check your mirrors and turn your head (which you should always do when driving) when changing lanes or making a turn.

6. The correct answer is B.

8. The correct answer is C.

Based on the actual LTO exam the answer is “self-discipline by drivers and obeying traffic rules and regulations”. Actually this doesn’t make sense as drivers and motorists have no control over the integrity of others. Drivers and motorists can exercise self-discipline and obey traffic rules and regulations, but it wouldn’t stop crooked enforcers from finding ways to make profit out of it. It is impossible to eliminate another person or organization’s corruption by being uncorrupt. The best thing they can do is to learn and understand the road and traffic rules and signs and to install a dashcam to avoid getting tricked by crooks dressed as an enforcer.

9. The correct answer is A.

Defensive drivers maintain focus on the road, keep their hands at the wheel at 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock position, and refrain from doing other tasks like texting, eating, or applying makeup while driving.

13. The correct answer is C.

14. The correct answer is B.

The earliest age you can obtain a driver’s license is at 17 years old. By this age you can apply for and get a student permit or a Non-professional driver’s license.

15. The correct answer is C.

As insinuated by the name itself, a pre-trip inspection is done before hitting the road. The most important reason to do it is for your safety as it can be very dangerous to go out on the road with damaged brakes, compromised wiring, or unsecured load. This especially applies to trucks and other heavy vehicles, though cars and even motorbikes should be checked as well. 

Handling & Driving Motor Vehicles

1. The correct answer is C.

It is a must for drivers to always signal their intentions, whether they are turning left or right, or changing lanes.

2. The correct answer is A.

Having visuals of the wheels of the vehicle you’re following is a good indicator that you’re not too close and that you have ample and safe stopping distance.

3. The correct answer is A.

During the night, it’s much harder to recognize sudden stops. Because of this, your reaction time would also be slower, so it’s best to always leave a bigger gap between you and the vehicle you’re following to avoid accidents.

8. The correct answer is A.

It’s better to make the turn at the next intersection or just go straight ahead and make a U-turn.

9. The correct answer is C.

If you’re driving through water or flood, you must do so at a snail-pace first, around 2-5 kph. You also need to drive slowly and steadily so you don’t disturb the water too much and risk water entering the exhaust pipe of your motor vehicle.

10. The correct answer is C.

The faster a vehicle is going, the closer it is to losing control, especially when you hit the brakes hard. So, it’s always better to brake gently but with a steady pressure.

11. The correct answer is B.

When the road is wet, it is safest to drive at a moderate speed because there’s less friction between your tires and the road.

12. The correct answer is B.

You need to do this as a precaution to warn the vehicle that you are about to overtake him.

13. The correct answer is B.

The faster your speed is, the more constrained your steering and braking inputs would be. That’s why braking suddenly at high speed would usually result in loss of control, thereby increasing your risk and hazard.

3. The correct answer is A.

When parking on an uphill road where there’s no curb, you should always turn your wheels toward the side of the road.

4. The correct answer is A.

Parking on or within a few meters from the approach side of a pedestrian lane will cause your vehicle to obscure the pedestrians’ view of the road and prevent other vehicles driving towards the crossing from seeing the pedestrians. It is particularly dangerous, too.

If you’re going to leave your car, it’s best practice to turn off your engine and pull the handbrake.
