9. A flashing red traffic light at an intersection means:

The same thing as a yield sign.

The light is about to turn green.

The same thing as a stop sign.

A flashing red light at an intersection means drivers are required to come to a complete stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when the way is clear. The same is true at a stop sign.

10. When you drive through a construction zone, you should:

Stop to watch the workers.

Decrease your following distance.

Pass the construction zone carefully and not “rubberneck."

To avoid contributing to chronic traffic congestion, you should not "rubberneck." That is, you should not slow down to look at out-of-the-ordinary things.

11. Adjust your rearview and side mirrors:

Before you start driving.

Whenever you need to use them.

Before you get into the car.

Your safety and the safety of other drivers and pedestrians depends a lot on what you do before driving. Before moving your vehicle, you should adjust your seat, adjust your mirrors, fasten your safety belt, and secure items in and on your vehicle. Do not wait until your vehicle is moving to adjust your mirrors.

12. If a motorist sees pedestrians in an upcoming crosswalk, what should the motorist do?

Continue ahead. The motorist has the right-of-way.

Wait for the pedestrians to cross the street.

Pull to the right and go around the pedestrians.

A driver must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian within a crosswalk. The driver should wait until the intersection is clear to proceed.

13. You should yield to a pedestrian:

Only if they are in a crosswalk.

At all times, even if the pedestrian is not obeying traffic laws.

Only if the traffic lights are in the pedestrian's favor.

Always be aware of pedestrians near your vehicle. You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian, regardless of the circumstances.

14. You are preparing to exit the interstate. When should you start reducing your speed?

About halfway through the deceleration lane.

As you approach the deceleration lane.

Immediately upon entering the deceleration lane.

When leaving an interstate, you should maintain your speed until you enter the deceleration lane, at which point you should reduce your speed to the exit ramp's posted advisory speed.

15. When changing lanes, you can check your blind spot by:

Using the inside rearview mirror.

Turning your head and looking over your shoulder.

Using your side mirror.

Even if your vehicle is properly equipped with mirrors, there are blind spots that cannot be seen by using the mirrors. Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to check these areas.

16. When driving in fog, rain, or snow, use:

Low beams.

High beams.

Fog lights only.

Low beam headlights should be used in fog, rain, and snow. The light from high beams will reflect back to the driver under these weather conditions, causing a glare that will make it difficult to see ahead.
