Saskatchewan Air Brake Test 01

If you’re planning on becoming a professional driver in Saskatchewan, it’s essential that you take the Air Brake Endorsement Test. But before taking the official exam, it’s advisable to first take the free Saskatchewan Air Brake practice test. The practice test is designed to help you familiarize yourself with the actual test’s structure and question format, making you feel confident and prepared.

16 / 30

Which statement is false? Braking distance depends on the following...

The brake drums to dissipate heat

The tires to grip the road

The driver to react appropriately

The ability of the lining to produce friction

17 / 30

What happens when enough friction is created between brake linings and drums?

Eight times

Ten times

21 / 30

What is the definition of reaction time?

The time it takes from the moment a hazard is recognized to the time the accelerator is released

None of these

The time it takes from the moment a hazard is recognized to the time the vehicle is stopped
