Do we need to learn specific safety features of a car?

It's in the AQA AS text book for unit 2 but it's under 'how science works' which are bits that apparently don't get tested in the exam, but is it possible to get asked it? like a 6 marker or something?

No, the 'How Science Works' only gives you a scenario. It tries to give you an understanding of the topic in a scenario to make it easier for you. However I would advise reading it as a similar situation maybe given in the exam and they may ask you to apply your knowledge to it. But don't worry about knowing it from memory.

Thank you!

Also, do you reckon we need to learn the derivation of various things like sin i/sin r = c/cs or the one for fringe spacing?
