Allow for extra space when driving behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than other vehicles can and you must have adequate room to stop if the motorcyclist brakes or falls off. Also, remember that motorcycles are difficult to see at night because they only have one tail light.

2. 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.

Intersection ahead.

Merging traffic.

Steep hill ahead.

4. A U-turn is not permitted:

In a parking lot.

On or near any curve or hill.

On a straight roadway with a clear view for 500 feet in both directions.

You must never turn around while on or near any curve or hill. You may not be able to see oncoming traffic or pedestrians and may cause a collision.

5. Which of the following are factors commonly contributing to traffic crashes?

Exceeding the posted speed limit and driving too fast for conditions or circumstances.

Getting adequate rest and staying alert.

Scanning the environment and staying focused on the driving task.

Driving above the speed limit, driving too far below the speed limit, and driving too fast for conditions are all actions that commonly contribute to traffic accidents. Always drive with the general flow of traffic, within legal speed limits.

Watch for people crossing your path.

No passing zone.
