Passing Score 20

1. Which of the following driving skills are affected by the use of alcohol and/or drugs?

Alertness and concentration.

Reaction time and coordination.

All of the above.

Any amount of alcohol acts as a depressant, slowing the function of the nervous system. It will reduce a person's alertness and ability to concentrate, increase their reaction time, and drastically reduce their coordination.

2. A broken yellow line beside a solid yellow line indicates that:

Passing is permitted from the lane next to the solid yellow line.

Passing is not permitted from either direction.

Passing is permitted from the lane next to the broken yellow line.

A broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line means that traffic in the lane next to the broken line may cross the line to pass, while traffic in the lane next to the solid line may not.

3. You should not start across an intersection if you know you will block the intersection when the light turns red:

Under any circumstances.

Unless you entered the intersection on a yellow light.

Unless you entered the intersection on a green light.

Even if the signal is green, you must not enter an intersection unless you can get completely across before the light turns red. If you block the intersection, you can be cited.

4. You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

5. When parking next to a curb, you should use your turn signals:

Only when pulling away from the curb.

When pulling next to, but not away from, the curb.

When pulling next to or away from the curb.

Drivers should signal when pulling next to a curb or away from a curb.

6. If your car becomes disabled while on the highway, you should:

Stop in the right lane.

Park with all four wheels off the traveled highway, if possible.

Stop where you are.

If your vehicle becomes disabled, you must (if possible) park with all four wheels off of the main-traveled portion of the road.

7. Head restraints should be:

Adjusted to contact the back of the head.

Removed from the seats, if possible.

Anywhere, as they have no effect on either the driver or passengers.

Head restraints are designed to prevent whiplash if your vehicle is hit from behind. They should be adjusted to contact the back of your head.

8. Fatigue increases the risk of:

Missing an exit.

Being late for an appointment.

Falling asleep behind the wheel and crashing.

Fatigue causes errors related to speed and distance, increases your risk of being in a crash, and causes you to take more time to make decisions. When you are fatigued, you could fall asleep behind the wheel and crash, injuring or killing yourself or others.
