1. While driving, you come upon a sign displaying the words “Reduced speed, 35 mph." This means:

Explanation
"Reduced speed" signs inform drivers that they must reduce their speeds. If a new speed limit is posted on one of these signs, the new speed limit begins at the sign.

2. You may drive around or under a gate that is being lowered or raised at a railroad crossing:

Explanation
Flashing red lights, lowered crossing gates, and/or bells at a railroad crossing mean that you must come to a complete stop. You must not go across the tracks until the lights and bells have stopped and the crossing gates are completely up. Do not drive around or under a gate that is moving up or down.

3. Increasing your vehicle’s speed:

Explanation
The faster you drive, the smaller your field of vision becomes. As your speed increases and your field of vision decreases, you must be extra alert to potential hazards.

4. Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is ____ on blind curves.

Explanation
Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit on blind curves is 20 mph. If a posted sign indicates otherwise, follow the speed limit on the posted sign.

5. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Explanation
You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

6. While backing, you should:

Explanation
When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.
