1. This yellow warning sign means:

You are approaching a school or school crosswalk.

Slow down, drive with caution, and watch for children.

Both of the above.

This sign is placed on roads near schools to warn drivers to slow down, drive with caution, and watch for children.

2. Fines in a construction zone are:

Doubled.

Tripled.

Cut in half.

Fines for moving traffic violations are doubled in highway construction or maintenance zones where workers are present. When operating in a construction zone, you must drive carefully and follow all directions provided by signs, signals, officers, and flaggers.

3. Hydroplaning occurs when tires ride on a thin film of water instead of on the surface of the road. To prevent hydroplaning in rainy weather, you should:

Put on your cruise control to maintain a constant speed.

Decrease your speed.

Move to the shoulder of the road as soon as it starts to rain.

In rainy weather, you should lower your speed to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Driving too fast may cause your tires to ride up on the water and lose contact with the surface of the road, making it very difficult to control your vehicle.

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

Slow down before entering.

Stop before entering.

Stop and wait for the green light.

A flashing red signal means "stop." After coming to a stop, you may proceed once it is safe, observing all right-of-way rules.

5. On freezing, wet days, which of the following roadways is most likely to hide spots of ice?

Roadways near the tops of hills

Roadways on bridges and overpasses

Roadways paved with asphalt

Bridges and overpasses tend to freeze before the rest of the road does. They can hide spots of ice.

6. In inclement weather, you should:

Steer off the road.

Drive in a low gear.

Steer and brake smoothly.

When driving during unfavorable weather conditions, avoid slamming on the brakes and making sharp, quick turns. These behaviors will make controlling your vehicle in inclement weather even more difficult.
