19. A solid yellow line on your side of the centerline means:

Slow down.

Pass with caution.

Do not pass.

Keep right on hills.

A solid yellow line next to your lane means that passing is not permitted from your direction.

20. Drivers are required to obey instructions from:

Security guards patrolling parking lots.

Other drivers whose vehicles are broken down on the roadway.

Flaggers (signal persons) at construction sites.

Drivers must obey special signs or instructions given by flaggers. They are in place to keep drivers and workers safe.

21. Increase your following distance when:

Driving behind a large vehicle that blocks your vision.

Exiting an expressway.

Following a motorcycle.

All of the above.

You should increase your following distance when you are behind a large vehicle that blocks your vision, when driving in bad weather or heavy traffic, when exiting an expressway, when behind a motorcycle or bicycle, and if someone is tailgating you.

22. If an approaching train is near enough or going fast enough to be a danger, you must:

Slow down and proceed with caution.

Not cross the tracks until the train has completely passed.

Cross the tracks at your own risk.

Find an alternative route across tracks.

You should look and listen for trains before crossing any railroad tracks. If an approaching train is near enough or going fast enough to be a danger, you cannot go across the tracks. This is true even if they have no signals or the signals are not working.

23. You may avoid the risks of alcohol-related crashes by:

Deciding before you start drinking that you are not going to drive.

Simply saying, "No thanks, I'm driving," if someone offers you a drink.

Calling a taxi.

Doing any of the above.

The only way to avoid the risks of drinking and driving is to decide before you start drinking that you are not going to drive. Because alcohol affects your judgement, it will be harder for you to make safe decisions after you have started drinking.

24. You may drive around the gates at a railroad crossing:

When the train has passed.

Under no circumstances.

When the lights have stopped flashing.

When other drivers drive around the gates.

You are required to stop at all railroad crossings when signals warn of an approaching train. These signals may include flashing red lights, a lowered crossing gate, a flagger signaling, or a train’s audible signal of warning. Do not attempt to go around a lowered gate.

25. If you drive more slowly than the flow of traffic, you will most likely:

Interfere with traffic and receive a ticket.

Improve traffic flow.

Demonstrate defensive driving techniques.

You must drive more slowly than usual when there is heavy traffic or bad weather. However, if you block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic by driving too slowly, you may be cited. You should match the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.
