17. It is very foggy. You should slow down and:

Turn on your emergency flashers.

Turn your lights to their high beam setting.

Turn your lights to their low beam setting.

18. Because there is often slow-moving traffic on county highways, you should:

Stay in the left lane and drive above the speed limit.

Be ready to adjust your speed to the speed of traffic.

Pass slow-moving vehicles when in a curve.

Slow down by shifting into a lower gear.

Ease your foot off the gas pedal.

21. When changing lanes, you should never:

Look over your shoulder to check your blind spot.

Change lanes abruptly or spontaneously.

Check for other vehicles moving into the same lane.

When changing lanes, you must be sure that there are no vehicles in the space you want to enter. Check for other vehicles behind and to the side of your vehicle by checking your mirrors and blind spots. Always use the proper turn signal before changing lanes to allow surrounding vehicles time to react to your movements.

22. When a pedestrian guided by a dog or carrying a white cane is crossing the street:

You must always yield the right-of-way.

You must tell them where to cross the street.

You only have to yield the right-of-way if you are at a corner.

Blind or partially blind pedestrians may carry a white cane or use the assistance of a guide dog. You must always yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian who is using a guide dog or carrying a white cane.

The right lane is ending and traffic should merge left.

The road curves ahead.

There are upcoming intersections.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign warns drivers that the number of lanes is reduced ahead and that traffic should merge left.

24. Using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle is considered a distraction because:

It causes the driver to be concerned about the cost of the call.

It occupies the driver's hands, eyes, and mind.

It is an activity that draws the attention of other drivers.

Using a cell phone while driving is dangerous because it occupies the user's eyes, hands, and mind. Even the most skilled drivers increase their risk of being involved in a crash by using a cell phone on the road.
