25. When turning left at an intersection:

You should always yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Oncoming traffic and pedestrians should yield to you.

You should never yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Drivers making left turns must yield to oncoming traffic that is traveling straight. Drivers must always yield to pedestrians.

26. What happens if you drink alcohol while taking prescription or over-the-counter medicine?

The medicine reduces the effect of the alcohol.

The alcohol will help the medicine cure a cold.

The combination could multiply the effects of the alcohol or medicine.

There is no effect because they are different substances.

Consuming alcohol and other drugs together can increase the impairing effects of both. For example, having one drink while you are also using a cold remedy could affect you as much as several drinks would when being consumed separately from any medications.

27. What is the only medically proven method of removing alcohol or other drug combinations from your system?

Breathe in some fresh air.

Give your body time.

Drink coffee.

Alcohol takes effect quickly and is slow to leave your system. Cold showers, black coffee, and exercise will do nothing to reduce a person's blood alcohol content (BAC). The only way to lower your BAC is to wait.

28. You can help keep the driver behind you a safe distance away from your vehicle by:

Driving 10 mph faster than the car behind you.

Driving 10 mph slower than the car behind you.

Maintaining a steady speed.

It is not always easy to maintain a safe distance behind your vehicle. However, you can help keep the driver behind you a safe distance away from your vehicle by maintaining a steady speed and signaling turns, lane changes, and deceleration in advance.

29. Before changing lanes or attempting to pass another vehicle, you should:

Check your blind spots and mirrors.

Signal your intention before changing lanes.

All of the above.

Every time you want to change lanes or otherwise move your vehicle to the right or left, signal to alert other drivers to your intentions. Always check your mirrors and turn your head to check your blind spot before attempting any lateral move.

30. When entering the interstate, check for a gap in traffic in the nearest lane, adjust your speed to match traffic, signal, and:

Expect traffic to allow you to proceed into the lane, since you have the right-of-way.

Merge carefully into the gap.

Wait for the lane to clear before merging.

Before merging into interstate traffic, you should identify a gap, accelerate to the speed of traffic, and signal. Merge into the gap when it is safe to do so. Be alert to other traffic and do not expect other drivers to clear the lane.
