31. The best way to avoid hydroplaning is to:

Keep your tires properly maintained.

Slow down when roads are wet or slushy.

Watch out for standing water or puddles.

All of the above.

When roads are wet, cars take a longer distance to stop and may skid on quick turns. Do not use cruise control when driving under wet or icy conditions. Reduce your speed and drive with caution.

32. When may you legally drive around or under a railroad crossing gate?

Never.

When you can see clearly in both directions.

33. You must yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle that is using its siren and flashing lights by:

Driving as closely to the right edge of the road as possible and stopping.

Moving into the right lane and driving slowly until it has passed.

Stopping immediately, even if you are within an intersection.

You must yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle that is using its siren and flashing lights. Do this by driving to the right edge of the road and stopping, taking care not to stop in an intersection. You may move again after the emergency vehicle has passed.

34. To help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces, you should:

Shift to a lower gear after starting down a steep hill.

Speed up to enter curves and slow down to exit them.

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.
