1. When should you yield your legal right-of-way?

Often, even at controlled intersections.

Whenever it helps prevent collisions.

Never. It confuses other drivers.

Never assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way. Yield your right-of-way whenever it helps prevent collisions.

2. If you can see that the roadway up ahead is covered by heavy smoke, you should:

Turn on your four-way flashers and continue.

Reduce your speed, move as far to the right as possible, and stop off the roadway.

Turn on your high beam headlights and continue.

If you notice that the road ahead is covered by heavy smoke, reduce your speed immediately, drive as far as possible to the right, and stop off the roadway. Only then should you determine if it is safe for you to continue. Remember that certain kinds of smoke can irritate your eyes and lungs or even kill you.

3. If you come to a railroad crossing with lowered gates and flashing warning lights, you should:

Drive around the crossing gates if you can't see a train.

Come to a complete stop well behind the gates, wait for the tracks to clear, and proceed once the gates are lifted.

Slow down and drive around the gates.

You must stop at a railroad crossing where signs, warning devices, or flaggers warn you of the presence of a train. It is illegal to drive around lowered gates.

4. Large trucks are likely to lose speed when:

Driving up long or steep hills.

Driving in long, gradual curves.

Driving down long, gradual hills.

Because large trucks require more time to accelerate than smaller vehicles, trucks can lose speed driving up long or steep hills. Be cautious when driving behind a large truck and be sure to give the vehicle additional space, especially when driving on an incline.

Trucks under 18,000 pounds are allowed.

Hill ahead.

Truck stop ahead.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign indicates that there is a steep hill ahead. Slow down and be ready to shift to a lower gear to control your speed and protect your brakes from damage.

6. When you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights, you must:

Maintain your speed and stay in your lane until the vehicle has passed.

Move into the right lane and drive slowly until the vehicle has passed.

Pull over to the curb or edge of the road and stop until the vehicle has passed.

If you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights, pull over to the right edge of the road and stop. Position yourself parallel to the curb. On one-way streets, drive toward the road edge nearest you.

Pedestrian crossing.

School crossing.

Jogging trail.

Warning signs provide notice to road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign tells drivers to be alert to crossing pedestrians.

8. You may pass a vehicle when:

You are on a hill or curve.

You are on a road with a solid line next to your lane.

You are on a road with a broken line next to your lane.

A single broken line indicates that drivers may cross from either lane to change lanes. Dashed yellow lines alongside solid yellow lines indicate that passing is permitted from the lane next to the broken line, but not from the lane next to the solid line. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so.
