13. If a traffic signal light is not working, you must:

Stop, then proceed when safe.

Stop before entering the intersection and let all other traffic go first.

Slow down or stop, only if necessary.

If a traffic signal is not working and no lights are showing, you should proceed cautiously as if the intersection is controlled by stop signs in all directions.

14. What is the benefit of a space cushion around your vehicle?

Other drivers can cut in front of you, improving the flow of traffic.

If another driver makes a mistake, you have time to react.

It inflates to protect you from injury in the case of a collision.

Keeping space around your vehicle is important to ensure that you have time to safely react if another driver makes a mistake. For example, extra space around your vehicle may give you time to brake or maneuver out of the way of a vehicle veering into your lane.

No passing zone.

Slow-moving vehicle.

Two-way traffic.

A triangular yellow sign with black lettering indicates a no passing zone. It will appear on the left side of a two-way, two-lane roadway at the beginning of an area where prohibitive pavement markings are also used.

16. Continuous hard braking on ice and snow often:

Helps you stop faster.

Locks the front wheels of a vehicle, causing a loss of steering.

Keeps the brakes from freezing.

Continuous hard braking on snow and ice can result in the locking of the front brake, causing a loss of steering. To avoid the need for excessive braking, make sure to maintain an appropriate speed for conditions.

17. You want to pass a bicyclist in a narrow traffic lane when an oncoming vehicle is approaching. You should:

Honk your horn then pass the bicyclist.

Slow down and let the vehicle pass you before you pass the bicyclist.

Wait until the bicyclist rides off the roadway.

In this situation, you should take on one danger at a time. Rather than trying to squeeze between the bicyclist and the other vehicle, you should slow down to let the other vehicle pass, and then pass the bicyclist when it is safe to do so.

18. You are getting ready to make a right turn. You should:

Signal and turn immediately.

Stop before entering the right lane and let all other traffic go first.

Slow down or stop, if necessary, and then make the turn.

When making a right turn, you should begin signaling about 100 feet before the turn, reduce your speed, stop behind the limit line (if applicable), and then make the turn.
