Explanation
If you approach a stopped school bus that has its lights flashing and arm extended, you must come to a full stop and remain stopped until the signal arm is pulled back and the bus resumes motion. This law applies whether you are traveling in the same direction as the bus or if you are approaching from the opposite side of the street.
18. When driving on gravel or dirt roads:
Explanation
Your tires do not have as much traction on loose gravel and dirt roads as they do on concrete and asphalt roads. When driving on gravel or dirt, you must slow down. It will take you much longer to stop and it is much easier to skid when turning.
19. You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:
Explanation
When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.
20. If you are driving and the rear end of your car starts skidding to the left, you should:

If your vehicle enters a skid, you should take your foot off of the brake and steer in the direction that you want to go. For example, if the rear of your vehicle is skidding to the left, you should steer to the left. This will help bring the front of the vehicle in line with the rear, thereby straightening out the vehicle's overall direction.
21. If you are driving on a highway next to a single broken white line marking:
Explanation
White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may cross a dashed white line to pass or change lanes if it is safe to do so.
22. Drivers may pass another vehicle by using the shoulder of a road:
Explanation
On multilane roads, the left-most lane is intended to be used for passing. Never pass another vehicle by using the shoulder of a road, whether the shoulder is paved or not. Other drivers will never expect you to be there and may pull off the road and into your vehicle without looking.
23. When approaching an intersection controlled by a flashing yellow light, you must:
Explanation
A traffic signal displaying a flashing yellow light indicates that you should be alert and proceed with caution. Slow down when approaching a flashing yellow traffic signal.
