FDLE OBJ- Veh OPs
FDLE VEHICLE OPERATIONS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In the event an explosive or other harmful device is detected, an officer should | Back away from vehicle and contact the personnel designated by the agency's policies |
| Improper balance or alignment, over inflation, or under inflation will result in | Uneven wear |
| Inspection of proper fluid levels, electrical wiring, belts, hoses, and tires should be checked | Daily |
| When inspecting rims on the vehicle, you are looking for | Dents, cracks, or DAMAGE TO THE BEAD |
| The fluid levels to be checked include the following: | Engine oil, transmission, brake, power steering, coolant reservoir and windshield washer |
| During inspection, these are checked for fraying, cuts, cracking, and gouges | Belts |
| During inspection, these are checked for dry rot, cracking, holes, bulges and leaks | Hoses |
| During inspection, these are checked for fraying, corrosion, cracked or missing insulation, and exposure | Wires |
| Vision supplies this % of incoming data to a driver | 90-90% |
| Sharpness of vision is known as | Acuity |
| Ability to judge distance and perceive space to determine how far away an object is, is know as | Depth Perception |
| Ability to see above, below, and to the sides is known as | Peripheral Vision |
| Ability to distinguish colors is known as | Color Vision |
| Ability to see clearly in darkness is known as | Night Vision |
| A person who has good peripheral vision can see from side to side how many degrees | 180 degrees |
| To improve awarenes, officers can make adjustments to their | Meal times (eating smaller & more frequently meals) and lifestyle (getting sufficient rest and sleep before a shift) |
| Stress, emotion, fatigue, and frequent shift changes are TEMPORARY FACTORS that can | Weaken a driver's observation skills |
| High blood pressure, diabetes, heart conditions, or epilepsy may also impair observation skills are | Medical conditions |
| When striking or driving over an obstacle, the officer should strike it at | A slight angle with free rolling tires |
| Three types of wind are | Head wind, tail wind and cross wind |
| The most dangerous type of wind is | Cross wind |
| Respresent the single greatest threat to safe vehicle operation | Intersections |
| When avoiding Head-on Collisions, officers reduce the effects by | Reading the road, reduce speed, drive to the right, drive off the road (think game of chicken) |
| If the officer must drive of the road and make contact, should choose from the following in least risk to most dangerous | Soft objects bushes, small trees, fences, etc.). Objects moving in the same direction (including another vehicle). A fixed object (tree, sign, or parked car) |
| This establishes a minimum safe following distance for all vehicles and provides space and time for the driver to react to potentinal hazards | Two-second Rule |
| Under poor road conditions or inclement weather, officers should use the | Four-second Rule |
| Always brake and accelerate in a | Straight line |
| You should do this prior to every turn regardless of speed | Break |
| When an officer is traveling at a higher than normal rate of speed, driving during emergency response, or traveling with other responding units the officer should use | The four-second Rule |
| Every body continues in a state of rest or in a straight line unless physical forces compel it to change state is known as | Newton's First Law of Motion |
| Acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on that body and inversely proportional to the mass of the body is known as | Newton's Second Law of Motion |
| Pitch, Roll and Yaw are all types of | Vehicle Motion |
| Occurs during accleleration or braking. Motion transfers weight from front to rear or from rear to front | Pitch |
| Occurs when turning and shifts the vehicle's weight from side to side | Roll |
| is the end-to-end motion on a horizontal plane | Yaw |
| The degree of pitch, roll, and yaw that a vehicle experiences affects the | Vehicular Stability |
| When brakes are applied, weight transfers in the direction of travel regardless | Of the vehicle moving forward or backward |
| Is the distance from the center of a circle to the outside of the circle | Radius |
| An increasing radius is a turn that gets | Wider |
| A decreasing radius is a turn that gets | Tighter |
| A 90-degree turn is considered to be a | Constant Radius |
| Is the center point of any curve | Apex |
| The vehicle's position in relation to the curve defines whether the vehicle is using one of the following three apex techniques | Early, center or late |
| In most cases this is the best cornering or turning method and why | Late apexing technique, allows the most room for driver error |
| The two general forces that act upon a vehicle when turning a corner are known as | Centripetal Force and Centrifugal Force |
| Is the force that is necessary to keep a vehicle moving in a curved path and is directed inward toward the center of rotation. Pulls in | Centripetal Force |
| Is the force that is necessary to keep a vehicle moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of rotation. Pushes out | Centrifugal Force |
| Is the tendency of a vehicle to turn less sharply than the driver intends | Under steer |
| Excessive speed, lack of traction on the steering tires , and/or improper braking in a turn or curve may result in | Under steering |
| Is the tendency of a vehicle to turn sharper than the driver intends | Over steer |
| Higher speeds when the rear tires lose traction and excessive braking occurs in a turn or curve result in | Over steer |
| Is the occurence that caruses the rear wheels to follow a tighter path in relation to the path the front wheels traveled in a turn | Wheel tracking |
| For proper steering wheel grip the left and right hand should be placed | Left hand at 9 o'clock and right hand at 3 o'clock |
| Is the forward motion that causess a vehicle to straighten from a turn when releasing the steering wheel | Caster effect |
| When the driver presses the brake pedal by applying light pressure and gradually increases pressure to slow or stop as quickly as possible without locking the brakes or engaging the ABS, is | Threshold braking |
| This happens just before the tires lose traction during braking | Incipient skid |
| This occurs just before the drive tires lose traction during acceleration | Incipient spin |
| Is the result of the friction a vehicle's tires create on the road surface | Traction |
| This is the best traction and occurs when the tires constantly rotate on the road surface without losing contact | Rolling friction |
| Results when the wheels lock and do not turn while the vehicle is moving | Skid |
| Results from loss of both rolling friction and traction | Slide |
| Accelerating too much on a turn or a slick surface causes a | Power slide |
| When recovering from a skid or slide, once traction is regained you must use | Counter steering |
| The two key elements to making a turn safely are | Speed and vehicle placement |
| When relating to emergency mode operation, officers should always revert to | Their specific agency's policy and Florida law |
| Every authorized emergency vehicle shall be equipped with a siren, whistle, or bell capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions from a distance of not less than | 500 feet |
| Is the most common night driving error | Overdriving of vehicle headlights |
| Vehicle headlights with high beams on reveal a person | 450 feet away |
| Vehicle headlights with low beams on reveal a person | 150 feet away |
| Overdriving headlights, reation distance, field of vision, loss of visual cues, glare and emergency lights are all factors that may | Influence driving performance at night |
| When driving at night in emergency mode, emergency lights can | Increase the amount of glare encountered |
| Looking off to the shoulder of the roadway to protect night vision while using the white line at the edge of the road for guidance is a | Technique officers can use to improve thier vision while driving at night and react properly to oncoming traffic |
| Are measured changes to normal body functions | Physiological effects |
| Exceeding your ability or vehicle's ability trying to "catch the bad guy at any cost" or "get there before anyone else" is a | Physiological effect |
| Tunnel vision, selective hearing, increased heart rate, time distortion, and loss of spatial awareness or fine motor skills are examples of | Physiological effects |
| When driving in emergency mode, an officer should always offset the vehicle to the | Left to increase visibility to other vehicles |
| Is an active attempt by an officer driving an authorized emergency vehicle (equipment activated) to apprehend occupants of a moving vehicle when speed increase, takes other evasive actions, or refuses to stop in an apparent attempt to avoid apprehension | Pursuit |
| The decision to initiate a pursuit is the officer's to make and is contingent upon | The officer's knowledge of agency policy and Florida Statues as well as current contions and circumstances |
| Following this is the best way to avoid liability in a pursuit scenario | Agency policy |
| A pursuit has how many possible conclusions | 5 |
| Is the use of vehicles, barricades, cones, or other objects to block traffic flow completely in all directions is | A roadblock |
| This device is used to cause tire to deflate | Tire-deflation device |
