Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Connecticut

1. If you drive too fast on a wet road, there is a danger that:

Your tires will start to glide over the water.

Your ability to judge speed and control will be impaired.

Your own spray will obscure the vision of other drivers.

When the road is wet, most tires have good traction when being driven at speeds of up to about 35 mph. As you drive faster, your tires may start to ride up on the water like water skis. This is called "hydroplaning.”

2. A pedestrian starts to cross the street after the "Don't Walk" signal begins to flash. The pedestrian is in the middle of the street when your signal light changes to green. You should:

Proceed if you have the right-of-way.

Proceed if the pedestrian is not in your lane.

Wait until the pedestrian crosses the street before proceeding.

At a green light, you must give the right-of-way to any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian in the intersection. If a pedestrian begins crossing the street after the traffic signal light starts flashing, wait until they have crossed the street before proceeding.

Slow down and proceed with caution.

Come to a complete stop as quickly as possible.

Stop and proceed only when the intersection is clear.

When encountering a flashing yellow light at an intersection, you should slow down and proceed with caution. You do not need to come to a complete stop when approaching a flashing yellow light.

4. When driving in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlights.

Use your parking lights.

Use your low beam headlights.

Drivers should use low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver, making it difficult to see.

Intersection.

Road curve.

Right turn.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign warns drivers that another road crosses the highway ahead.

6. If you are about to be hit from the rear, you should not:

Release your seat belt.

Brace yourself.

Press your head against the head restraint.

If your vehicle is hit from the rear while you are in forward motion, your body will be thrown backward. Brace yourself by pressing against the back of your seat and putting your head against the head restraint to prevent whiplash. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and be ready to apply your brakes to avoid being pushed into another vehicle.

7. When approaching an intersection controlled by a flashing yellow light, you must:

Come to a complete stop at the intersection.

Maintain your normal speed.

Slow down and proceed with caution.

A traffic signal displaying a flashing yellow light indicates that you should be alert and proceed with caution. Slow down when approaching a flashing yellow traffic signal.

8. Where is it safe to pass another vehicle?

Within an intersection where there are no oncoming vehicles

Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing

Within a curve where there are no oncoming vehicles

Never pass within intersections or at other intersecting points, such as parking lot entrances and alleyways. Any time your view is blocked by a curve or a hill, you should stay in your lane and assume that there is an oncoming vehicle just out of sight. Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing other vehicles, you will have to determine whether or not you have enough space to pass in a safe manner.
