4. In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?

When driving on a sharp curve, it is required to stay in it as shortly as possible; hence his position is correct.
In sharp curves it is necessary to “cut” through the curve, in order to reduce the centrifugal force (the force that acts on the vehicle while it turns).
When there is no other vehicle in the curve it is possible to be positioned anywhere within it.
No, the truck driver is not keeping to the right of the road and his position presents a risk to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

To make sure that photocopies of the driver’s license and insurance policy only are carried in the vehicle

Correct.

17. The following picture contains several road elements. How should a driver respond when approaching these elements?

Slow down and keep to the right.
He should make a warning honk, continue driving in normal speed, glance at the mirrors and then drive faster to quickly cross the curve.
Approaching a curve in high speed is dangerous on a rough road only.
In the absence of a road sign warning about an incoming curve, there is no need to slow down. He should continue driving at normal speed.
