Answer 5

During the past month have you had to brake severely to avoid running into the vehicle in front?

Correct answer : NO

5. Colliding with the rear of the vehicle in front is a common occurrence, particularly at roundabouts.

Braking sharply to avoid such an incident is symptomatic of following too close generally and stopping too close behind stationary vehicles.

Combine this with poor concentration or distraction and you will need late severe braking to avoid a collision.
