1. This road sign means:

Increase your speed.

Railroad crossing ahead.

Intersection ahead.

Four-way stop ahead.

This sign means that you are approaching an upcoming intersection. Watch carefully for cross traffic.

2. 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.

3. When a traffic signal light turns green, you should:

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

Accelerate as quickly as possible.

Back up slowly.

Not move until another driver waves you on.

A green light tells you that you can go through the intersection. However, you must first yield the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians who are still in the intersection.

4. A driver with a probationary license may use a telecommunications device while driving if they are:

A high school graduate.

Making a 911 emergency call.

Only texting, not talking on the phone.

Using a hands-free device.

In the state of Indiana, a person who who obtains a driver's license and is under the age of 21 is operating on a probationary driver's license. Probationary license holders may not drive while using any telecommunications devices, such as a cell phone, unless the device is being used to call 911 to report an emergency.

5. Which of the following must you obey over the other three?

A steady red light

A police officer

A stop sign

A flashing red light

Directions given by traffic officers take precedence over signs, signals, and pavement markings. People authorized to direct traffic include police officers, fire police, highway work area flag persons, and school crossing persons.

6. Seat belts are most effective when they are worn by:

The person driving the car.

Passengers when they are on a long drive.

All occupants of a car being driven on an expressway.

All occupants of a car every time the car is driven.

When you drive, make sure each person in your vehicle wears a seat belt. In the event of a crash, a person without a seat belt becomes a flying object and a danger to each person in the vehicle.

7. When driving near heavy trucks, other drivers and highway users must make allowances for:

The increased stopping distance required by large vehicles.

The decreased stopping distance required by large vehicles.

The decreased noise of larger vehicles.

The increased speed of larger vehicles.

When driving near heavy trucks, other drivers and highway users must make allowances for the increased stopping distance required by the large vehicles. Drivers of smaller vehicles should remain in locations where they can be seen by the driver of the large vehicle and where their view of traffic is not blocked by the vehicle.

8. Many crashes are caused by:

Drivers traveling too fast for conditions.

Drivers consistently checking their mirrors and blind spots.

Drivers yielding the right-of-way.

Drivers maintaining a four-second following distance.

Many crashes are caused by drivers who are driving too fast for conditions. Always drive within the legal speed limits and decrease your speed any time conditions are less than perfect.
