There are two indicators that determine when you need to shift into a higher gear. One indicator is the engine speed (rpm). You should read your vehicle's manual to learn its rpm range and shift up when you reach the top of that range. The other indicator is road speed (mph). You should learn which speeds each gear can accommodate, then keep an eye on the speedometer and shift up as needed.
20 . How many seconds of following distance per every 10 feet of vehicle should you maintain when traveling more slowly than 40 mph?
Four seconds
When traveling at speeds below 40 mph, you should maintain at least one second of following distance for every 10 feet of your vehicle's length. At higher speeds, add an additional second.
21 . If stopped on the side of the road, how should you alert other motorists?
Keep the driver's side door open.
If you must stop on the side of the road, it is important to turn on your four-way emergency flashers to warn other road users.
