May be safely held by a strong adult.

Will be safe if they are standing on the floor in the back of the vehicle.

Will not be hurt in an accident because they are small.

Must never be allowed to ride while standing in the vehicle.

Special child seats are available for children who are too small to wear regular safety belts. No person is strong enough to safely hold onto a child of any size during an accident or sudden stop. Never allow a child to ride in a vehicle unless they are properly fastened into a seat.

20. Highways and roads freeze before ramps and bridges.

True

False

Ramps and bridges are suspended in the air, causing them to become icy very quickly in cold weather. Drive with extra caution when crossing a bridge in freezing temperatures.

21. When you hear the siren or see the flashing lights of an approaching emergency vehicle, you must:

Slow down until it passes you.

Drive to the right side of the road and stop.

Motion for the emergency vehicle to pass you.

Merge into the right lane and continue driving.

Yield the right-of-way to any approaching emergency vehicle that is using its flashing lights or siren, regardless of its direction of travel. You must immediately drive to the right side of the road and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. If you are within an intersection, pass through the intersection before coming to a stop on the right side of the road.

22. When you drive through an area where children are playing, you should expect them:

To know when it is safe to cross the street.

To stop at the curb before crossing the street.

To run out in front of you without looking.

Not to cross the street unless they are with an adult.

You should always reduce your speed and use extra caution when children are in the vicinity. They may fail to understand the danger and may run out in front of you without looking.

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 two vehicles arrive to a four-way stop at the same time:

The vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.

The vehicle on the right must yield to the vehicle on the left.

Drivers must make hand motions to communicate with each other.

One driver should proceed without stopping.

In general, vehicles at a four-way stop should proceed in the order that they arrive. However, if two vehicles arrive to the intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.

Look for a train station ahead.

Signal before going any further.

Slow down and yield for trains.

Stop.

This sign indicates that there is a railroad crossing on the road ahead. You should always slow down when approaching a railroad crossing. Trains cannot yield to cars, so you must let them pass before crossing the tracks.
