1. Work zone barriers, drums, cones, and signs are used to:

Make drivers angry about slow traffic.

Inconvenience drivers.

Keep traffic out of hazardous work zones.

Work zones on highways have become increasingly dangerous places for both workers and drivers. When approaching a work zone, watch for materials such as cones, barrels, signs, large vehicles, and workers in brightly colored vests to warn you and direct you.

2. A leaky exhaust system in your vehicle is dangerous because it can cause:

A loss of hearing.

Pollution.

Carbon monoxide poisoning.

Poor engine performance.

The exhaust system carries exhaust gas out of the vehicle and prevents fumes from entering into the passenger compartment. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, keep your exhaust system free of leaks. Replace all defective parts immediately.

3. If your car becomes disabled while on the highway, you should:

Stop in the right lane.

Park with all four wheels off the traveled highway, if possible.

Stop where you are.

If your vehicle becomes disabled, you must (if possible) park with all four wheels off of the main-traveled portion of the road.

4. Which of the following is true about driving on a wet roadway?

As you drive faster, your tires become less effective.

Water does not affect cars with good tires.

Deep water is less dangerous than shallow water.

As you decrease your speed, the roadway becomes more slippery.

The faster you drive on a wet roadway, the less effective your tires will be at wiping the water from the road. If your speed becomes excessive enough, your tires will lose their grip on the road entirely and you will begin to hydroplane (that is, to slide down the road on a film of water).

5. A person who drives much slower than the speed limit:

Is a very safe driver.

Always has the right-of-way.

Should not let following cars pass.

May create a dangerous driving environment.

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.

6. Another driver is trying to pass your car. You should:

Pull off the road.

Signal to the other driver when it is safe for them to pass.

Check for oncoming traffic and adjust your speed to allow safe passing.

Speed up.

Keep right when another driver begins to pass you on the left. Check for oncoming traffic and adjust your speed to let the passing vehicle move back into the right lane as easily as possible.

7. Two solid white lines painted across a traffic lane show the boundaries of a crosswalk. As a driver, you should know that:

Motor vehicles have the right-of-way over pedestrians in crosswalks.

When pedestrians are in crosswalks, they should be given the right-of-way.

No one has the right-of-way in a crosswalk.

Pedestrians are responsible to stay out of the way of all traffic.

Crosswalk lines show pedestrians where to safely cross a road or street. Crosswalks may be marked by horizontal lines, vertical lines, or a combination of the two. You must always stop for pedestrians who are in a crosswalk.

8. If you are driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you should:

Decrease your speed.

Pull off the right side of the road and let traffic pass.

Not let the other cars pass your vehicle.

Use your four-way flashers.
