25. You are waiting in the intersection to complete a left turn. You should:

Signal and keep your wheels turned to the left.

Signal and keep your wheels straight.

Flash your headlights so drivers will let you through.

Drive around the rear of a car if it blocks you.

You must always signal before turning or changing lanes. You should keep your wheels straight while waiting to make a left turn. If another vehicle hits you from behind, this ensures that you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic.

26. You may drive around or under a gate that is being lowered or raised at a railroad crossing:

As long as an approaching train is not too close.

If your vehicle can do so without damaging the gate.

If you first look carefully in both directions.

Under no circumstances.

Flashing red lights, lowered crossing gates, and/or bells at a railroad crossing mean that you must come to a complete stop. You must not go across the tracks until the lights and bells have stopped and the crossing gates are completely up. Do not drive around or under a gate that is moving up or down.

27. The best way to deal with tailgaters is to:

Speed up to increase the distance between you and the tailgater.

Slam on your brakes to get the other driver to back off.

Change lanes or gradually slow down to encourage them to pass.

Ignore them.

Check the traffic behind you several times a minute to know if another driver is tailgating, approaching too fast, or trying to pass. If another car is following you too closely, slow down and let it pass. Most rear-end collisions are caused by vehicles following too closely.

28. To avoid collisions with vehicles in your blind spots, you should:

Quickly turn your head to see if your blind spot is clear before changing lanes.

Adjust your rearview mirrors every few minutes.

Honk your horn right before turning or changing lanes.

None of the above.

Before turning or changing lanes, turn your head and glance over your shoulder in the direction of your move to see if your blind spot is clear. Never rely on your mirrors alone.

29. When driving on major highways:

Stay alert.

Keep your eyes moving.

Be ready to react to road hazards.

All of the above.

It is important to stay alert on highways and be ready to react to unexpected hazards. To avoid "highway hypnosis," you should avoid looking at any one thing for more than a few seconds.

30. When following other vehicles, maintain a space cushion of at least:

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

200 feet.

300 feet.

A three-second following distance is the minimum recommended safe distance to maintain between your vehicle and the car ahead of you. At high speeds or in bad weather, you will need to increase your following distance.

31. At an intersection with a stop sign, you should stop and:

Check your rearview mirror for cars tailgating.

Move when the vehicle ahead of you moves.

Look right first, then left, then right again.

Look left first, then right, then left again.

When stopped at an intersection, you should first look to your left, as vehicles coming from the left are closer to you than vehicles coming from the right. Look to your right, then look to your left again, in case there are any vehicles coming from that direction that you did not see at first glance.
