1. You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are following a small passenger vehicle.

Are being tailgated by another driver.

Are driving more slowly than the posted speed limit.

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.

2. When driving in fog, it is best to drive with:

High beam headlights.

Low beam headlights.

Four-way flashers.

Use low beam headlights when driving in fog, rain, or snow. High beams may reflect off of the weather and make visibility even poorer.

3. A blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent:

Won't have any effect on your driving.

Won't put other drivers at risk.

Will double your chances of having an accident.

Every 0.02 percent increase in blood alcohol concentration nearly doubles a driver's risk of being in a fatal crash.

4. If you become drowsy while driving, you should:

Try to fight it.

Take a break.

Take some caffeine pills.

If you start to feel tired while driving, drive to the first available rest stop or service area to take a break, nap, stretch, or change drivers. You should not rely on caffeine pills or energy drinks, as these are not a replacement for rest and may make your driving even more dangerous.

5. Make room for cars that are entering the freeway by:

Slowing down.

Merging into a different lane.

Maintaining your speed and position.

Make room for vehicles that are entering a freeway. If possible, merge into the next lane to create a gap for the incoming vehicles. If you cannot merge, adjust your speed to allow for the vehicles to enter traffic as smoothly and safely as possible.

6. A curb painted red means:

Loading zone.

The area is reserved for picking up or dropping off passengers.

No parking, standing, or stopping.

You may not stop, stand, or park at a red-painted curb.

7. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

8. If it feels like your tires have lost contact with the surface of the road, you should:

Slow down by shifting into a lower gear.

Ease your foot off the gas pedal.

Slow down by pumping the brakes quickly and firmly.

If it feels like your tires have lost contact with the surface of the road, you should ease your foot off the gas pedal and stay off the brakes. Do not try to stop or turn until your tires are gripping the road again.
