1. Excessive speed:

Saves time so you can get to your destination more quickly.

Helps you maneuver around obstacles.

Increases the likelihood of serious bodily injury and death.

Excessive speed is one of the most common contributing factors to vehicle crashes. Excessive speed does not save time and often leads to high-risk decision-making.

Side road.

Merge.

Yield the right-of-way.

This sign indicates that there is an intersection with a side road ahead.

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. Slowing down just to look at collisions or anything else out-of-the-ordinary:

Causes traffic congestion.

Prevents rear-end collisions.

Improves traffic flow by preventing collisions.

Avoid "rubbernecking," or slowing down to look at collisions or anything else out-of-the-ordinary. This helps to relieve traffic congestion.

5. If a tire suddenly blows out while you are driving, you should:

Grip the steering wheel firmly, slow down, and exit the traffic lane.

Pump the brakes rapidly.

Brake hard and steer toward the right edge of the roadway.

If you experience a sudden tire blowout, do not panic. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and take your foot off the accelerator to allow the vehicle to roll to a stop. Lightly apply the breaks when it is safe to do so. Do not move to the shoulder of the road until the car has slowed considerably.

6. When a car with bright headlights drives toward you at night, you should:

Stop until the other driver passes.

Look below their headlights.

Glance toward the right edge of your lane.

To avoid being blinded when driving at night, do not look directly at the headlights of oncoming cars. Instead, look toward the right edge of the road until the oncoming driver has passed.

7. Prior to entering a curve:

Activate your turn signal.

Reduce your speed.

Brake hard.

You may drive more slowly than the posted speed limit, based on road conditions, but it is illegal to drive any faster than the posted speed limit. Some conditions which require reduced speed for safety include approaching curves or hills where visibility is limited, driving on slippery roads, and driving on roads where animals and pedestrians are present.

8. When approaching a school bus stopped with its stop arm extended and red lights flashing, drivers should:

Come to a complete stop and wait to proceed.

Honk their horn before passing the bus on its left.

Continue driving when they think most kids are probably done exiting the bus.

When you are approaching a school bus that has stopped on the road with its stop signal arm extended and its red lights flashing, come to a complete stop. Remain stopped until the stop signal is retracted and the flashing lights are turned off.
