1.

If your vehicle begins to skid, you should:

Ease up on the gas pedal.
Brake as hard as possible.
Turn off the ignition.

Explanation ▾

If your vehicle begins to skid, release the accelerator or brake pedal to regain vehicle balance. Steer in the direction of the skid to regain control of the vehicle.

2.

If a tire suddenly blows out while you are driving, you should:

Grip the steering wheel firmly, slow down, and exit the traffic lane.
Pump the brakes rapidly.
Brake hard and steer toward the right edge of the roadway.

Explanation ▾

If you experience a sudden tire blowout, do not panic. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and take your foot off the accelerator to allow the vehicle to roll to a stop. Lightly apply the breaks when it is safe to do so. Do not move to the shoulder of the road until the car has slowed considerably.

3.

As you approach the top of a hill, you should:

Speed up slightly.
Prepare to stop, if needed.
Maintain a steady speed.

Explanation ▾

You may not know what is on the other side of a hill or just around a curve, even if you have driven the road many times. If a vehicle is stalled just out of sight on the roadway, you must be able to stop. Whenever you come to a hill or curve, adjust your speed so you can stop if necessary.

4.

You want to turn left at an upcoming corner. Yield the right-of-way to:

Oncoming vehicles also turning left.
All approaching vehicles.
Pedestrians on the sidewalk waiting for a "Walk" signal.

Explanation ▾

When making a left turn, you must yield to pedestrians, bicyclists, or other vehicles moving on their green light.

5.

When you are facing a green light and there are pedestrians in the intersection:

You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.
You have the right-of-way over pedestrians.
Pedestrians must wait for you to cross.

Explanation ▾

When facing a green light, you must yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection. Drivers must yield to pedestrians when turning on a steady green signal.

6.

When may you legally drive around or under a railroad crossing gate?

Never.
When you can see clearly in both directions.
When the warning lights are not flashing.

Explanation ▾

Do not go around or under any lowered gate at a railroad crossing. Once the gate is raised, do not proceed across the tracks until you can see clearly in both directions and are sure there are no trains coming.

7.

If you come to an intersection controlled by a flashing yellow light, you must:

Wait for the green light before proceeding.
Slow down and cross the intersection carefully.
Stop before crossing the intersection.

Explanation ▾

A flashing yellow traffic light means drivers must slow down, be more aware, and proceed with caution. Be alert to crossing traffic and pedestrians.

8.

Stopping distances and the severity of collisions:

Decrease as a vehicle's speed increases.
Are not affected by a vehicle's speed.
Increase as a vehicle's speed increases.

Explanation ▾

Excessive vehicle speed can have disastrous effects. As a vehicle's speed increases, the potential impact of a collision also increases, elevating the possibility of serious injury and death. Increase your following distance as your speed increases to ensure that you will be able to stop safely if needed.
