17. How fast you drive does not affect the distance your vehicle travels after you brake to come to a stop.

TRUE

FALSE

When driving in high-speed traffic, it is extremely important to stay well behind the vehicle in front of you. As your speed increases, the distance it will take for your vehicle to stop also increases.

18. When passing another vehicle, it is safe to return to your lane if you:

Cannot see the vehicle directly to your right.

See the vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror.

Have passed the other vehicle’s front bumper.

Before returning to your original lane after passing, you must make sure you are not dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. When you can see both of the vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to the lane.

19. You are approaching an intersection at the posted speed limit when the signal turns yellow. You should:

Slow down and proceed through the intersection without caution.

Speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red.

Stop before entering the intersection, if you can do so safely.

A solid yellow light means "caution" and signals that the light will soon turn red. You should stop at a solid yellow light if you can do so safely; otherwise, you should cautiously cross the intersection.

20. What are the colors of signs that tell you the distance to the next exit on a highway?

Yellow with black letters

Black with white letters

Red with white letters

Green with white letters

Signs providing information about destinations are green with white letters or symbols.

21. You are merging onto an interstate highway. You should:

Select a safe gap and merge into the lane of traffic.

Merge across two lanes at once.

Always stop before entering the highway.

Anytime you want to merge with other drivers, you need to find a gap large enough for you to safely enter into the flow of traffic. You should not stop on the entrance ramp to an interstate highway unless there are no gaps into which you may safely merge.

Curves ahead.

Divided highway starts.

Divided highway ends.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns that the divided highway ends ahead. Prepare to change lanes or shift lane position.

23. While backing, you should:

Rely only on your mirrors.

Flash your lights.

Open your door to see if it is safe to proceed.

Turn your head and look through the rear window.

When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.

24. If a transit vehicle is signaling to re-enter the main roadway following a stop, you must:

Honk to let them know you’re there.

Move to the left lane.

Yield.

Speed up to pass.

You must yield to any transit vehicle that is signaling to pull back onto the main roadway after it has stopped to load or unload passengers. Change lanes, slow down, or stop to allow the bus safe re-entry into traffic.

25. Before passing another vehicle, you should signal:

Just before changing lanes.

At any time.

After changing lanes.

Early enough for others to know your plans.

Before passing, you should signal early enough for other drivers to know your plans in advance.
