31. You are driving on a freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph. Traffic is heavy and moving at 35 mph. The best speed for your vehicle is most likely:

25 mph.

35 mph.

30 mph.

Collisions are more likely to happen when one driver travels more quickly or more slowly than the other vehicles on the road. You should enter a freeway at or near the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.

32. Which of the following roadways freeze first when wet?

Bridges and overpasses

Intersections

Tunnels

Bridges and overpasses tend to freeze before the rest of the road does.

33. Construction zone signs are generally:

Square or rectangular with white and red coloring.

Round or octagonal with black and yellow coloring.

Diamond-shaped or rectangular with orange and black coloring.

All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background with black letters or symbols. These signs are found on the right side of the road, or on both the left and right sides if the roadway is a divided highway.

34. 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.

35. You are driving behind a motorcycle and want to pass. You must:

Stay in the right lane as much as possible because the motorcycle is small and doesn't use all of the lane.

Blow your horn to make the motorcycle move onto the shoulder so that you can pass.

Have your vehicle entirely in the left lane before and during the pass.

When passing a motorcycle, allow a full lane to the motorcycle. Never crowd into the same lane as the motorcycle. Returning to the original lane too soon can force a rider to swerve to the right and into traffic or off the road.

36. Fatigue increases the risk of:

Missing an exit.

Being late for an appointment.

Falling asleep behind the wheel and crashing.

Fatigue causes errors related to speed and distance, increases your risk of being in a crash, and causes you to take more time to make decisions. When you are fatigued, you could fall asleep behind the wheel and crash, injuring or killing yourself or others.
