1. If it is necessary to make an emergency stop while driving on an interstate, you should:

Sound your horn at passing cars to get their attention.

Get out of your vehicle and flag down the first vehicle that passes.

Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers, and stay in your vehicle, if you can.

If you must stop on the shoulder of the interstate or highway, turn on your emergency flashers to warn other drivers and stay inside your vehicle, if you can. The extremely high speed of traffic makes standing or walking along an interstate highway very dangerous.

2. If your vehicle has a mechanical problem:

Signal and pull into the slow lane.

Stop in your lane and put on your hazard lights.

Put on your hazard lights and pull off the road.

If your vehicle breaks down on a highway, make sure other drivers can see it. Get your vehicle off the road and away from traffic if at all possible and turn on your emergency flashers to show that you are having trouble.

3. Adjust your rearview and side mirrors:

Before you start driving.

Whenever you need to use them.

Before you get into the car.

Your safety and the safety of other drivers and pedestrians depends a lot on what you do before driving. Before moving your vehicle, you should adjust your seat, adjust your mirrors, fasten your safety belt, and secure items in and on your vehicle. Do not wait until your vehicle is moving to adjust your mirrors.

4. In a vehicle equipped with airbags, the safest place for children age 12 and under to ride is in:

The front seat.

The back seat.

The bed of a pick-up truck.

While airbags provide supplemental protection for adults in the event of a crash, they pose a severe safety risk for children. Anyone age 12 or under should sit in the back seat of a vehicle with airbags.

5. What is the purpose of rumble strips?

They alert drivers to potential tire problems.

They test a vehicle's shock absorbers.

Through vibration and sound, they alert inattentive drivers to the fact that their vehicles have left the travel lane.

Rumble strips create noise and vibrations to warn drowsy or inattentive drivers that they are straying off of the road or are approaching a stop sign or signal.

6. To enter a gap in highway traffic:

Watch only the vehicles behind the gap.

Check behind you, then watch the vehicle ahead.

Speed up and let the other vehicles make way.

Whenever you want to change lanes or enter traffic, you must be sure that there are no vehicles in your way in the lane you want to enter. Always check for traffic to the side of and behind your vehicle before you change lanes.

7. If a traffic signal light is green and a police officer signals for you to stop, you should:

Obey the officer.

Obey the traffic signal.

Do what the vehicle in front of you does.

Drivers must obey any instructions given by a police officer, even if the instructions contradict laws, signs, signals, or markings that would otherwise apply.

8. Which of these statements is true about changing lanes?

You only need to turn and look over your right shoulder for lane changes to the right or left.

Look over your right shoulder for a right lane change and your left shoulder for a left lane change.

Vehicles with two outside mirrors do not have blind spots.

Before changing lanes, signal, look in all your mirrors, and look over your left or right shoulder to make sure the lane next to you is clear. Looking over your shoulder is a way to check your blind spot to be sure there is no vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle traffic in the next lane.
