List and explain the four levels of acceleration
* First level of acceleration: Idling acceleration - releasing pressure from the brake pedal which results in slow forward movement
* Second level of acceleration: Light acceleration- to maintain slow forward motion or allowing speed to increase gradually with minimum weight shift
* Third level of acceleration: Progressive acceleration- firm pressure on the Accelerator to increase speed
* Fourth level of acceleration: Thrust acceleration - firm push or thrust of accelerator for increased acceleration, shift more weight to the rear wheels
List and explain for levels of deceleration
* First level of the deceleration: Releasing accelerator stops the vehicles forward propulsion. Vehicle will continue to move forward but it will be coasting forward rather than being propelled by the engine.
* Second level of the deceleration: Controlled/squeeze breaking is done with sufficient pressure to slow the vehicle while avoiding abrupt weight transfer
* Third level of the deceleration: Threshold braking - application of brake pressure to a point just short of locking up the brakes
* Fourth level of the deceleration: Trail braking - used to smoothly and gradually reduce brake pedal pressure at the end of a breaking maneuver

Explain how to perform the hand-to-hand, hand-over-hand, and steering while backing techniques.
# Hand-To-Hand: With this technique, both of your hands are always touching the wheel. However, neither hand crosses an imaginary vertical line that runs through the middle of the steering wheel. The left hand works the left side of the wheel, and the right hand works the right side of the wheel. While one hand pushes up or pulls down, the opposite hand slides up or down along the wheel to provide additional steering input or make sure that steering is smooth. "Unwinding" the steering wheel to return to a straight path simply involves making the same hand movements in reverse.
# Hand-Over-Hand: This technique involves grasping the steering wheel with your right hand between the 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, and with your left hand between the 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock positions, turning right in this example. Use your left hand to push the steering wheel up and over the other hand past the 12 o'clock position, continuing downward toward 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock. At the same time, your bottom hand releases the steering wheel, and passes across your forearm to grip the wheel on the far side. That same hand, which is now on top, then pulls the wheel down.
# Steering BACK STRAIGHT OR TO THE RIGHT: When backing straight or to the right, grip the steering wheel with your left hand at the top, at the 12 o'clock position. Place your right hand on the back of the passenger seat. This position helps brace you and makes it easier for you to see out the rear window, over your right shoulder l. Before moving backward, you may need to shift your hip and seat position to improve your rearward view.
# Steering BACK TO THE LEFT: When backing to the left, grip the wheel with your right hand at the 12 o'clock position, and place your left hand along the driver door panel. Look over your left shoulder, and move backward very slowly. Be sure to also visually check to the front as you back to make sure the front of your vehicle doesn't swing out of line at r strike anything. Take your time, and always back slowly. Backing is not about speed-it's about precision.
List and explain the 4 levels of acceleration
1. Idle acceleration: simply releasing pressure from the brake pedal can cause the vehicle to move slowly, forward or backward.
2. Light acceleration: Used to maintain slow forward motion and also to gradually increase speed with minimum vehicle weight shift.
3. Progressive acceleration: With progressive acceleration, the driver uses firm pressure on the accelerator to increase speed.
4. Thrust acceleration: A firm push or thrust of the accelerator increases acceleration, shifts more weight to the rear tires for traction, and can be used to pass other vehicles in high-speed traffic
List and explain the 4 levels of deacceleration
1. Releasing the accelerator stops the vehicle's forward propulsion. Although the vehicle will continue moving forward, it will be coasting forward rather than being propelled by the engine.
2. Controlled braking is done with sufficient pressure to slow the vehicle while avoiding abrupt weight transfer that could lead to traction loss by the front or rear wheels
3. Threshold braking is the application of brake pressure to a point just short of locking up the brakes. Resulting in maximum braking capability, this tends to be used during emergency situations.
4. Trail braking is used to smoothly and gradually reduce brake pedal pressure at the end of a braking maneuver.
Describe how you might communicate to drivers behind you when you plan to slow or stop your vehicle.
1. Check for vehicles behind you
2. Lightly tap your brake pedal a few times before actually applying the brakes to slow the vehicle (Or hand signals)
Explain the benefits of braking in a straight line.
The benefit of braking in a straight line are maximizing the tire contact patches, resulting in the greatest possible traction during braking; (best traction). You can lose patch traction when turning left or right. It helps maintain balance, more tire traction and you do not have to correct as much maximizes traction.
Explain how to perform the three steering techniques
#1. Hand to hand steering: Happens when you were turning three slight curve - both hands grip the wheel using little to no hand/finger movements. One hand pushes up or pulls down, while the opposite hand slides up and down along the wheel to provide additional steering input or stabilized steering. Hands don't cross 6 or 12.
#2. Hand over hand steering: When the driver grasps the steering wheel with your right hand between two and 3 o'clock and your left hand between nine and 10 o'clock. One hand (left hand) pushes the steering wheel up and over the other hand past 12 o'clock and down toward nine or 3 o'clock. The bottom hand (right hand) releases the steering wheel, passing across your forearm to grip the steering wheel on the far side.
#3. One hand steering: Is not recommended, and should only be used when backing up in a straight line or to adjust dashboard controls. Keep both hands on wheel when you must turn while backing.
