1. If someone has consumed alcoholic drinks, what will help the person overcome the influence of those drinks?

Only the passage of time will allow a person to overcome the influence of alcohol.

2. Which of these statements is true about roadwork zones?

Fines are the same for violations committed in work zones as they are under normal traffic conditions.

You must "Slow for the Cone Zone."

Slow down only if you think workers are present.

Reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop for highway equipment. Driving carefully through work zones improves safety for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and road workers.

3. Alcohol in any concentration is:

A stimulant.

A depressant.

Neither of the above.

Alcohol, in any concentration, is a depressant. It slows all nerve impulses and bodily functions, resulting in a lessening of inhibitions and negatively affecting a consumer's ability to concentrate and stay alert.

4. It is best to keep a space cushion:

Only in back of your vehicle.

Only on the left and right sides of your vehicle.

Only in front of the vehicle.

On all sides of the vehicle.

To ensure that you will have time to react to hazards on the roadway, it is best to keep a cushion of space on all sides of your vehicle. Do not crowd vehicles to your left and right sides.

5. To turn left from a multilane one-way street onto a one-way street, you should start your turn from:

Any lane (as long as it is safe).

When turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, you should begin the turn from the far left lane.

6. 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.

7. What does a traffic signal with a yellow left arrow indicate?

Drivers should prepare to yield to oncoming traffic.

Both of the above.

When a protected turn arrow changes from green to yellow, drivers must prepare to yield to oncoming traffic. A yellow arrow indicates that the protected left turn is ending.

No U-turn.

Two-way left turn.

Minimum speed limit.

No parking.

Regulation signs regulate traffic speed and movement, displaying rules which drivers must obey. Wherever this regulation sign is posted, U-turns are not permitted.
