1. Which of the following road surfaces freezes first?

A tunnel

An intersection

A bridge

Pavement on bridges and overpasses can become icy even when other surrounding pavement is dry. Bridges often freeze before, and thaw out after, the rest of a road.

2. When approaching an accident scene, you should:

Keep your attention on your driving.

Keep moving.

Stop if you are involved or if emergency help has not yet arrived.

All of the above.

Do not stop at an accident scene unless you are involved or emergency help has not yet arrived. Keep your attention on your driving and keep moving, watching for people who might be on or near the road. Never drive to the scene of an accident, fire, or other disaster just to look.

3. Which of these statements is true about drinking alcohol and driving?

If you can walk in a straight line after drinking, it is safe to drive.

If you are under the legal blood alcohol concentration limit, your driving isn't impaired.

Alcohol affects judgement, which is needed to drive safely.

Being under the influence of alcohol affects your judgment. Good judgement is necessary to react appropriately to things that you see or hear while on the road. Even if you are below the legal blood alcohol limit, consuming any amount of alcohol is likely to affect your ability to drive safely.

Flagger ahead.

Turn left at the intersection.

Last turn before a toll road.

Orange is the standard color for work zone activity. If you see orange signs, cones, or barrels while driving, stay alert and be prepared for unexpected driving conditions. This sign alerts drivers to an upcoming flagger whose directions should be obeyed by all drivers.

5. Backing your vehicle is:

Always dangerous.

Dangerous if you have a helper.

Only dangerous in large vehicles.

Backing up is always dangerous because it is hard to see behind your vehicle. Use extra caution when backing up.

6. Which of these is a safe driving technique?

Using your high beam lights in the fog.

Staring at the road ahead of your vehicle.

Checking your rearview mirrors frequently.

To stay aware of hazards, you should scan the road and check your rearview mirrors every two to five seconds. Constantly staring at just the road ahead of you is dangerous. If you must drive in foggy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights, not your high beam headlights.

7. If two drivers arrive at the same time to a four-way intersection controlled by stop signs:

The driver on the right has the right-of-way.

The driver on the left has the right-of-way.

One driver may continue driving without stopping.

One driver should honk to indicate that they are giving up the right-of-way.

Yield the right-of-way to the driver on your right at a four-way intersection if you both arrive to the intersection at the same time. You may then proceed when it is safe to do so.

8. Excessive speed:

Does not increase the chance of a crash.

Increases your ability to react to a hazard.

Often leads to high-risk decision-making.

Excessive speed is one of the most common contributing factors to vehicle crashes. Excessive speed does not save time and often leads to high-risk decision-making.
