1. You have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off the edge of the pavement. What should you do first?

Turn the front wheels slightly to the left to edge the car back onto the pavement.

Hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes.

Apply the brakes and turn the front wheels sharply to the left.

If your vehicle leaves the roadway, hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes. Wait until your speed has reduced, check the traffic, and look for a place to safely return to the roadway by merging back into traffic. Overcompensating by jerking the wheel to return to the roadway can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or may cause your car to go into other lanes of traffic.

2. Remove all snow, frost, and ice from:

Just the windshield.

All windows.

Just the windshield and passenger window.

It is important that you are able to see clearly through all of your vehicle's windows, including the windshield. Remove all snow, ice, and frost from your vehicle's windows and mirrors before you start to drive.

3. To avoid being blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights:

Focus your eyes on the centerline of the road.

Glance to the right side of the road.

Focus your eyes straight ahead.

Glancing back and forth between the right side of the road and the road directly ahead allows you to avoid the glare of oncoming headlights while still staying safely in your lane.

4. Is it legal cross a double solid yellow centerline to pass?

Yes.

No.

If there is no oncoming traffic.

If the vehicle ahead of you is driving under the speed limit.

Two solid yellow lines down the center of a two-way road mean that neither lane of traffic may cross the lines, unless they are turning off of the roadway. A driver can cross double yellow lines when turning into or out of a driveway or entrance to a business. No passing is allowed over a solid yellow line.

5. If you are driving in another driver's blind spot, you should:

Move forward or drop back so the other driver can see you.

Keep a steady pace.

Stay in the driver's blind spot.

Honk to let them know you are there.

Do not drive in someone else’s blind spot. Move forward or drop back so that the other driver can see you.

6. You may continue carefully through an intersection with a yellow light if:

There is an emergency vehicle crossing your lane.

There are pedestrians crossing.

You are turning right.

You are already within the intersection when the light changes to yellow.

If a steady yellow light appears when you are already within an intersection, you should continue through the intersection carefully.

Railroad crossing.

One-way traffic.

Limited parking.

Playground ahead.

Circular traffic signs indicate upcoming railroad crossings. This sign tells drivers that they are approaching a railroad crossing and should be looking for signs of an oncoming train.

8. If you come to an intersection controlled by a flashing yellow light, you must:

Wait for the green light before proceeding.

Slow down and cross the intersection carefully.

Stop before crossing the intersection.

A flashing yellow traffic light means drivers must slow down, be more aware, and proceed with caution. Be alert to crossing traffic and pedestrians.
