Crash fraud and theft — Louisiana Permit Test
Crash fraud and theft on the Louisiana permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
To avoid becoming the victim of a staged crash, avoid tailgating and leave plenty of space ahead.
Crooks may slam on the brakes in front of a close car so it hits them and they can claim money.
Always give yourself plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
After a crash, call the police right away and get an item number for the official crash report.
The report number proves what happened and helps your insurance claim go faster.
If you find yourself in a crash, call the police immediately and obtain an item number for the official crash report.
After a crash, avoid tow trucks that happen to show up offering help; make your own towing arrangements.
Some tow trucks that show up uncalled work with crooked shops that pad the repair bill.
Avoid tow trucks that happen to show up at the scene offering assistance.
To prevent car theft, do not leave your keys in the ignition, even while pumping gas or running into a store.
A running car with keys inside is the easiest car to steal, and it takes only seconds.
Don't leave your keys in the ignition while warming up or cooling off your car, while pumping gas, while running into a convenience store, or while dropping the kids off at day-care.
On the test
Which habit helps you avoid becoming the victim of a staged crash?
Leaving plenty of space ahead. Crooks may slam on the brakes in front of a close car so it hits them and they can claim money. Class D & E Driver's Guide, p.98: “Always give yourself plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
