Look ahead toward the right edge of my lane.

(If an oncoming driver fails to dim their high beams, you should avoid looking directly at the headlights. Instead, look toward the right edge of your lane and watch the oncoming vehicle out of the corner of your eye.)

Question 6

When you are being tailgated by another driver, what should you do?

Answer 6

You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.

(When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.)

Question 7

How often should you check your rearview mirrors?

Answer 7

You should check your rearview mirrors every eight seconds 

(~ to see how traffic is moving behind you. When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so you know the positions of vehicles near you.)

Question 8

If your vehicle starts to lose traction because of water on the road, you should:

Answer 8

Slow down gradually and NOT apply the brakes.

(When driving in heavy rain at speeds as low as 30 mph, your tires may lose all contact with the road and instead ride up on a layer of water above the surface of the road. This is called “hydroplaning.” If your vehicle starts to hydroplane, slow down gradually and do not apply the brakes.)

Question 9

You are crossing an intersection and an emergency vehicle is approaching while using its siren and flashing lights; what should you do?

Answer 9

Continue through the intersection, pull to the right, and stop.

Question 22

To pass a slower-moving vehicle on a two-lane, two-way road, you must:

Answer 22

Use the lane that belongs to oncoming traffic.

(Passing on a two-lane, two-way road requires good judgment because you must use the lane belonging to oncoming traffic to complete your pass. Only pass if you may safely and legally do so.)

Question 23

The most important thing to remember about speed management and curves is that you must:

Answer 23

Slow down before you enter the curve.

(The most important thing to remember about driving in curves is that your vehicle’s inertia may make it difficult to turn. To maintain control, it is essential that you slow down before entering the curve.)

Question 24

At an intersection with a stop sign, you should stop and..? (Which ways do you look first?) VERY IMPORTANT.

Answer 24

Look left first, then right, then left again.

(When stopped at an intersection, you should first look to your left, as vehicles coming from the left are closer to you than vehicles coming from the right. Look to your right, then look to your left again, in case there are any vehicles coming from that direction that you did not see at first glance.)

Question 25

When exiting a highway, you should slow down:

Answer 25

Answer 26

On all sides of your vehicle. (To ensure that you will have time to react to hazards on the roadway, it is best to keep a cushion of space on all sides of your vehicle. Do not crowd vehicles to your left and right sides.)

Question 27

Allowing a space cushion between your vehicle and its surroundings is important because:

Answer 27

It allows you time to react to unexpected situations. (The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react to mistakes made by other drivers is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you.)

Question 28

Allow a larger space cushion than usual when stopping: (IMPORTANT)

Answer 28

On an incline. (You should allow more space in front of your vehicle than usual when you are stopped on an uphill slope. If the vehicle in front of you rolls backward toward your vehicle when traffic begins to move again, it is less likely that there will be a collision.)

Question 29

When making a turn, you must ___ your speed.

Answer 29

Reduce. (When turning, you should reduce to a speed that allows you to maintain control of your vehicle, stay in your lane, and react to unexpected situations.)

Question 30

Drive below the posted speed limit when:

Answer 30

Anything makes conditions less than perfect. (When the road is wet or slippery, when you cannot see well, or when anything else makes conditions less than perfect, drive below the posted speed limit.

Question 31

To prepare for anything coming up on the road ahead, you should:

Answer 31

Continually scan the entire road and all roadsides. (Your ability to handle dangerous traffic situations depends largely on searching for and identifying problems before meeting them. Looking far ahead of your vehicle does not mean you should simply stare at the center of the road. You need to continually scan the entire road, including the sides of the road.)

Question 32

When faced with an oncoming car to the left and a bicyclist to the right, you should:

Answer 32

Let the car pass and then pass the bike. (When there is more than one potential hazard on the road, you should ensure that you only have to deal with one of them at a time. For example, when there is a bicyclist on the right that you want to pass and an oncoming car to the left, you should not try to squeeze between both at the same time. Instead, let the oncoming car pass, and then pass the bicyclist.)

Question 33

When driving on slick roads, you should:

Answer 33

Take turns more slowly than usual. (While it is always dangerous to drive too fast on slippery roads, this is especially true when driving in turns and curves. Be sure to approach them more slowly in slippery conditions than you would under normal circumstances.)

Question 34

When driving on slippery roads, you should:

Answer 34

Increase your following distance. (On slippery roads, you should increase your following distance. It may take more time to stop your vehicle than it would under normal conditions.)

Question 35

What is the appropriate action to take when approaching a railroad crossing that does not have signals to direct traffic?

Answer 35

Slow down and be prepared to stop. (When approaching an unmarked railroad crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop. Before you cross, be sure that no trains are approaching from either direction on any track. If you see or hear a train coming, stop at a safe distance from the nearest track and wait to proceed until after the train passes.)

Question 36

What does alcohol do to your driving skills and judgement?

Answer 36

It harms both driving skills and judgement. (Alcohol negatively affects many skills needed for safe driving, including your reaction time and ability to see clearly. It can also harm your judgment of speed and distance, lower your inhibitions, and make you more prone to taking chances.)

Question 37

What is the only way to reduce your blood alcohol concentration (BAC)?

Answer 37

Allow your body time to get rid of the alcohol.

Question 38

If a transit vehicle is signaling to re-enter the main roadway following a stop, you must:

Question 41

When driving in fog, rain, or snow, use:

Answer 41

Low beams. (Low beam headlights should be used in fog, rain, and snow. The light from high beams will reflect back to the driver under these weather conditions, causing a glare that will make it difficult to see ahead.)

Question 42

When driving at night, you should:

Answer 42

Increase your following distance. (Increase your following distance when it is difficult to see due to darkness. Use headlights to increase visibility, following the rules for proper use of high beams and low beams. Avoid looking directly at the headlights of an oncoming vehicle to avoid being blinded by the glare.)

Question 43

If you experience a tire blowout:

Answer 43

Be sure all of the vehicle's occupants have buckled their seat belts. (Develop a routine for entering and leaving your car. Before switching on the ignition, buckle your safety belt and see that all passengers do likewise.)

Question 47

When a vehicle with an Anti-Lock Braking System starts to lose traction on a slippery road, drivers should:

Answer 47

Press and hold the brake pedal. (If their vehicle loses traction on a slippery road, a driver with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) needs to press down hard on the brake pedal, hold it, and steer out of danger. In an emergency situation, the ABS automatically pumps the brakes at a faster rate than the driver could. Removing steady pressure from the brake pedal or pumping the brakes will disengage the ABS.)

Question 48

If worried, nervous, angry, or crying, a driver:

Answer 48

Should take the time to focus on driving before starting the engine. (You may not be able to drive well if you are worried, excited, crying, angry, or depressed. Emotions can distract you from your driving because your mind is focused on something else. Take time to calm down and get focused before driving.)

Question 49

When encountering an aggressive driver, you should:

Answer 49

Avoid eye contact, slow down, and let them pass. (If another driver is threatening you or intentionally driving dangerously around you, remain calm and try to put as much distance between the two of you as possible. Slow down and let them pass. Do not make eye contact and do not make obscene gestures.)

Question 50

Distracted driving is:

Answer 50

Extremely risky behavior. (Distracted driving is extremely risky behavior that puts not only you and your passengers in danger, but also endangers pedestrians, bicyclists, and other motorists sharing the road. Focused attention on driving helps to prevent crashes.)
