Passing Score 20

1. This sign means:

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.

2. You are crossing an intersection and an emergency vehicle is approaching while using its siren and flashing lights. You should:

Stop immediately in the intersection until it passes.

Pull to the right of the intersection and stop.

Continue through the intersection, pull to the right, and stop.

If you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights and/or siren, continue through the intersection and then drive to the right and stop. You must yield the right-of-way to any police vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren or flashing lights.

Road construction/maintenance area.

Side road.

Railroad ahead.

Diamond-shaped signs are used to warn of actual or possible hazards. The color orange is used for warning signs usually found in construction or maintenance areas.

4. The amount of alcohol in the blood is referred to as:

Implied consent (IC).

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC).

Rate of alcohol consumption (RAC).

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in the blood. The higher the BAC number, the more impaired a person is.

5. When driving in work zones, you should:

Increase your speed to get through the zone as quickly as possible.

Reduce your speed and be prepared to stop suddenly.

Maintain your normal speed the whole way through the zone.

When entering and driving through a work zone, slow down and be prepared to stop. Obey posted speed limits and be alert to conditions around you. Workers could be present.

6. You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

7. You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are following a small passenger vehicle.

Are being tailgated by another driver.

Are driving more slowly than the posted speed limit.

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.

8. When driving at night, you should:

Always use your high beams.

Look directly at the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.

Increase your following distance.

Driving at night is more hazardous than daytime driving because the lowered visibility makes it difficult to judge speed, distances, and other potential hazards. Increase your following distance to help prevent a potential collision if the vehicle in front of you should stop abruptly. Use your headlights when driving at night, following the rules for proper usage of high beams and low beams.
