1. When driving in traffic, it is safest to:

Fluctuate your speed to keep alert.

Drive faster than the flow of traffic.

Drive slower than the flow of traffic.

Drive with the flow of traffic.

Crashes often happen when some drivers go faster or slower than other vehicles on the road. Always try to drive with the flow of traffic, within the posted speed limit.

2. Highway pavement will be particularly treacherous and most slippery:

If it has been raining several hours.

If it has just begun to rain.

If it has been raining for one to two hours.

Pavement is particularly treacherous when it first begins to rain. Accumulations of dirt and oil mix with the rainwater, creating a greasy film on the roadway.

3. You come to an intersection displaying a flashing red light. You should:

Come to a full stop and go when it is safe to do so.

Stop only if other cars are also approaching the intersection.

Stop only if other cars are already within the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop, if necessary.

A flashing red traffic light has the same meaning as a stop sign. You must stop, yield the right-of-way, and go once it is safe.

4. Many crashes are caused by:

Drivers traveling too fast for conditions.

Drivers consistently checking their mirrors and blind spots.

Drivers yielding the right-of-way.

Drivers maintaining a four-second following distance.

Many crashes are caused by drivers who are driving too fast for conditions. Always drive within the legal speed limits and decrease your speed any time conditions are less than perfect.

5. If your car's suspension is bad, it can cause:

Vehicle control problems.

Squealing brakes.

Slack in the steering.

Your suspension helps you control your vehicle and provides a comfortable ride over varying road surfaces. If your vehicle bounces a lot after driving over a bump, or is generally hard to control, you may need new suspension parts.

Road widens ahead.

Lane reduction; the right lane ends soon.

Highway entrance ramp ahead.

Lane reduction; the left lane ends soon.

This sign indicate that the right lane ends ahead.

7. If you drink alcohol socially, what helps ensure safe driving?

Drink coffee before driving.

Ride home with a friend who has not been drinking.

Take a cold shower before driving.

Stop drinking one half hour before driving.

One strategy to avoid driving while impaired or intoxicated is to arrange for a ride home with a friend who does not drink. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower cannot reduce your blood alcohol content or reduce the effects of alcohol. On average, it takes about an hour for the body to eliminate the alcohol from a single drink.
