Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Alabama

1. If you see a pedestrian using a guide dog or carrying a white cane:

The pedestrian must yield the right-of-way.

You must yield the right-of-way.

Honk your horn to let them know you are there.

Blind or partially blind pedestrians may carry a white cane or use the assistance of a guide dog. You must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian with a guide dog or a white cane.

2. Which of the following blocks the smooth flow of traffic?

Slowing down to look at collision scene.

Avoiding unnecessary lane changes.

Using public transportation instead of your vehicle.

Rubbernecking (the practice of slowing down to look at collisions or other out-of-the-ordinary things) contributes to traffic congestion and should be avoided.

3. If your car's suspension is bad, it can cause:

Vehicle control problems.

Squealing brakes.

Slack in the steering.

Your suspension helps you control your vehicle and provides a comfortable ride over varying road surfaces. If your vehicle bounces a lot after driving over a bump, or is generally hard to control, you may need new suspension parts.

4. You drive defensively when you:

Put one car length between you and the car ahead.

Look only at the car in front of you while driving.

Keep your eyes moving to look for possible hazards.

You are driving defensively when you are looking down the road for potential hazards. Constantly staring at the road directly in front of your vehicle is dangerous. As you scan ahead, be alert to vehicles around you.

5. You are approaching a green traffic light and traffic is blocking the intersection. What is the best thing to do?

Partially enter the intersection to establish your right-of-way.

Don't enter the intersection until you can get completely across.

Continue into the intersection and wait for traffic to clear.

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

6. You are approaching an intersection at the posted speed limit when the signal turns yellow. You should:

Slow down and proceed through the intersection without caution.

Speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red.

Stop before entering the intersection, if you can do so safely.

A solid yellow light means "caution" and signals that the light will soon turn red. You should stop at a solid yellow light if you can do so safely; otherwise, you should cautiously cross the intersection.

7. If you are getting tired while driving, you should:

Stop and either get rest or change drivers.

Drink something with caffeine.

Open a window.

To avoid the dangers of fatigued driving, take breaks every hour or so during a long trip. If possible, share driving responsibilities with another person so you can each sleep while the other person drives.
