Road Signs & Symbols Test

The Mechanical Quiz is designed to assess students’ knowledge of basic vehicle mechanical systems and components, focusing on essential information every driver should understand for vehicle safety, maintenance, and efficient operation. The quiz helps drivers recognize key car parts, understand their functions, and identify common mechanical issues.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Engine Basics: Types of engines, key components (e.g., pistons, crankshaft), signs of engine trouble (e.g., overheating, noises).
2. Transmission and Drivetrain: Manual vs. automatic transmissions, power transfer to wheels, common transmission problems.
3. Braking System: Types of brakes (disc vs. drum), brake components, signs of braking issues (e.g., squealing, reduced stopping power).
4. Suspension and Steering: Functions of shock absorbers, struts, and steering components, symptoms of suspension/steering problems (e.g., vibrations, hard steering).
5. Electrical System: Basics of battery, alternator, fuses, recognizing electrical issues (e.g., dim headlights, warning lights).
6. Tires and Wheels: Tire maintenance (tread depth, pressure), signs of tire wear, importance of wheel alignment.
7. Fluids and Maintenance: Vehicle fluids (engine oil, coolant, etc.), how to check and maintain fluid levels, regular inspections.
8. Basic Troubleshooting: Simple diagnostics (e.g., leaks, unusual sounds), emergency actions during a breakdown.

Quiz Format:

• Multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions
• Diagrams for vehicle component identification
