1. To prepare for anything coming up on the road ahead, you should:

Continually scan the entire road and all roadsides.

Stare straight ahead at all times.

Drive with your left foot resting lightly on the brake pedal.

Maintain focus toward the middle of the road.

Your ability to handle dangerous traffic situations depends largely on searching for and identifying problems before meeting them. Looking far ahead of your vehicle does not mean you should simply stare at the center of the road. You need to continually scan the entire road, including the sides of the road.

2. As you near an intersection, the traffic light changes from green to yellow. Your best action is to:

Speed up to beat the red light.

Apply the brakes sharply to stop.

Be prepared to stop in the center of the intersection.

Be prepared to stop before the intersection.

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that the light will soon change to red. You should be prepared to stop for the red light, if it is safe to do so.

3. A seat belt should be adjusted so that it:

Is loose.

Is buckled snugly across your hip bones and lower abdomen.

Is hidden beneath the seat.

Keeps the seat belt buzzer or light from operating.

Lap belts should fit snugly across your hip bones and the lower part of your abdomen. Shoulder belts should sit comfortably so that you can insert your fist between the belt and your chest.

4. What should you do if your accelerator sticks while you are driving?

Reach down and attempt to pull it up.

Shift to park.

Shift to neutral and apply steady pressure on the brake.

Turn the engine off.

If your accelerator sticks while you are driving, keep your eyes on the road. Quickly shift the vehicle into neutral and apply steady pressure on the brake pedal. Pull off the road when it is safe to do so and turn off the engine.

5. If you miss your exit on an interstate expressway:

Stop and make a U-turn.

Get off at the next exit and come back to the exit you missed.

Roll down your window and ask the driver next to you for help.

Back up on the highway.

If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up or try to turn around on the highway. Go to the next exit and safely turn around.

Driving with your headlights out of alignment because one side of your car is higher than the other.

Damaging a tire from drifting onto the shoulder.

Hydroplaning, if the shoulder has water on it.

Losing control of the vehicle if you drift onto the shoulder.

This sign indicates that the shoulder is lower than the road in the area ahead. If you drift off of the roadway and one wheel drops onto a low shoulder, do not slam on the brakes or steer sharply to try to get back onto the roadway. This could easily cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
