9. You should not make sudden stops in front of large trucks and buses because:

Small vehicle drivers cannot adequately see large trucks and buses in their rearview mirrors.

Large trucks and buses, due to their size and weight, require longer distances to stop than smaller passenger vehicles.

Large trucks and buses travel at a higher speeds than small vehicles.

Large vehicles require longer distances to stop and accelerate than smaller vehicles do. Making a sudden stop in front of a large vehicle is dangerous because the other driver may not be able to stop in time to avoid a collision.

10. If you are driving on a highway next to a single broken white line marking:

You cannot cross the line to pass.

You may cross the line to pass and change lanes.

You may only cross the line to change lanes if you are in the left lane.

White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may cross a dashed white line to pass or change lanes if it is safe to do so.

11. If a child is riding a bicycle near your vehicle:

Beep your horn.

Expect the child to be in total control of the bicycle.

Expect the unexpected.

Children on bicycles are sometimes unpredictable. Young bicyclists are especially likely to make surprising changes in direction. Remember that children and bicycles are both small in stature and may become difficult to see.

12. Which of the following statements about blind spots is true?

Blind spots are eliminated if you have one outside mirror.

Large trucks have bigger blind spots than most passenger vehicles.

Blind spots can be checked by looking in your rearview mirror.

Even if a vehicle is properly equipped with rearview and outside mirrors, it still has blind spots that cannot be seen in the mirrors. Large trucks have much larger blind spots than most passenger vehicles.

13. Drivers using windshield wipers in rain, snow, or sleet should also:

Honk intermittently to alert other drivers to the lowered visibility.

Use their high beam headlights.

Use their low beam headlights.

Alabama law requires that low beam headlights be turned on when windshield wipers are in use due to weather conditions. This will increase visibility and alert drivers to all vehicles on the roadway. Intermittent use of windshield wipers does not require headlight usage.

14. At dawn or dusk and in rain or snow, it can be hard to see and be seen. A good way to let other drivers know you are there is to turn:

Up the instrumental panel lights.

On your parking lights.

On your headlights.

You must use your headlights at any time when conditions prevent you from seeing other vehicles and when it may be difficult for other drivers to see you. Always use your low beam headlights if weather conditions require you to use your windshield wipers.

15. The maximum posted speed limit should be driven only:

During the night.

During the day.

Under ideal conditions.

The posted maximum speed limit is the fastest legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions. It is safest to drive at the same speed as surrounding traffic, up to the maximum speed limit. Maintaining a safe speed at all times is a responsibility shared by all motorists.

16. When passing a row of parked vehicles, you should:

Be prepared for a person or vehicle to unexpectedly enter your lane.

Expect all other drivers and pedestrians to respect your right-of-way.

Drive closely to the parked vehicles to allow more room for moving traffic.

Keep a space between your vehicle and parked vehicles. A person may step out of a parked vehicle or out from between the parked vehicles without looking. A driver may begin moving their vehicle before realizing you are there.
