1.

Always stop before crossing railroad tracks when:

There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.
The railroad crossing is located in a city or town that has frequent train traffic.
You are transporting two or more young children in a passenger vehicle.

Explanation ▾

Expect a train on any track, at any time, traveling in either direction. If you need to stop after crossing the tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.

2.

It is necessary to use your low beams any time you are:

On a lighted street.
On a freeway.
In fog.

Explanation ▾

Use your low beams when driving in fog, snow, rain, or mist. Light from high beams will reflect off of precipitation, causing a glare and making it even more difficult to see. Some vehicles are equipped with fog lights that should be used in addition to low beam headlights.

3.

To avoid traction loss on wet roads, you should:

Make abrupt turns.
Apply the brakes firmly.
Slow down.

Explanation ▾

To prevent hydroplaning, lower your speed in response to wet roads and keep your tires in good condition. If you detect a loss of control, take your foot off the gas, do not apply the brakes, maintain the direction of the vehicle, and allow the vehicle to slow to a manageable speed.

4.

If you have trouble seeing other vehicles because of dust or smoke blowing across the roadway, you should drive more slowly and turn on your:

Emergency flashers.
Parking lights.
Headlights.

Explanation ▾

You must turn on your headlights any time conditions prevent you from seeing other vehicles. Other drivers may have trouble seeing you, too.

5.

It is dangerous to follow a motorcycle too closely because:

They do not follow the same rules as motor vehicles.
A motorcycle can stop much faster than a standard vehicle.
They brake more slowly than motor vehicles.

Explanation ▾

Motorcycles can stop quickly and following them too closely endangers your life and that of the motorcyclist. If the motorcyclist makes a mistake, you need to have enough time and space to avoid a crash.

6.

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.

Explanation ▾

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.

7.

Various traffic control devices in construction and maintenance work areas are the color:

Red.
Orange.
Yellow.

Explanation ▾

Orange warning signs are used in and around work zones. Use special caution when you see orange signs, cones, or barriers on a roadway.

8.

When you see this sign, you should stop and:

Check for vehicles only in the direction that you plan on going, then proceed.
Let all vehicles that arrive before or after you go first.
Check for traffic in all directions before proceeding.

Explanation ▾

At a stop sign, you must come to a full stop and check for traffic in all directions before proceeding.
