1. Regulatory signs are:

Green.

Yellow.

White.

Regulatory signs inform drivers of specific laws that must be obeyed. Displayed laws may be about traffic direction, lane use, turning, speed, parking, or special situations. Regulatory signs are commonly white squares or rectangles with black, red, or green letters or symbols.

2. Which of these is a safe driving technique?

Using your high beam lights in the fog.

Staring at the road ahead of your vehicle.

Checking your rearview mirrors frequently.

To stay aware of hazards, you should scan the road and check your rearview mirrors every two to five seconds. Constantly staring at just the road ahead of you is dangerous. If you must drive in foggy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights, not your high beam headlights.

Dangerous intersections.

Slow-moving vehicles.

Yield signs.

A reflective orange triangle on the rear of a vehicle means it travels only at slow speeds. You may see this sign on roadwork equipment, farm vehicles, or horse-drawn wagons and carriages. It appears as a solid orange triangle during the day and a hollow red triangle at night.

4. A green arrow displayed on a traffic light means:

Drivers must turn in the indicated direction.

Drivers may turn in the indicated direction after coming to a complete stop.

Drivers may not turn in the indicated direction.

If a traffic signal is displaying a green arrow, traffic in the indicated lane should proceed in the direction shown by the arrow. Traffic turning on a green arrow has the right-of-way, but drivers should still be cautious of pedestrians and other vehicles that may be in the intersection.

5. When driving on a slippery surface, such as snow or ice:

Shift to a low gear before going down steep hills.

Maintain traction by following other vehicles closely.

Pump your brakes to keep them from freezing.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, you should shift to a low gear before going down a steep hill. You should also follow farther behind the vehicle in front of you than you normally would. Quick stops should be avoided. Unless you have antilock brakes, pump the brakes to slow or stop.

6. If you are facing a green traffic light but the intersection ahead is blocked by traffic, you should:

Turn left and find another route.

Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears.

Follow the other vehicles and enter the intersection.

Even if you are facing a green traffic light, do not start across the intersection if there are other vehicles blocking your way. If you are caught in the intersection when the light changes to red, your vehicle will block cross traffic. You can get a ticket for blocking an intersection.

7. Blind spots are:

Spots in your vision when you become fatigued.

Areas of the road that cannot be seen in a vehicle's mirrors.

Traffic control devices.

When changing lanes, look over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move. Check for obstructions near the rear corners of your vehicle. These areas are called “blind spots” because you cannot see them by using your mirrors.

8. To prevent yourself from becoming an aggressive driver:

Relax and concentrate on driving.

Drive above the posted speed limit.

Tailgate the driver in front of you.

To prevent yourself from becoming an aggressive driver, concentrate on driving and don't take the actions of other drivers personally. Be realistic about your travel time, drive within posted speed limits, and be forgiving of other drivers using the roadway.
