3. You are driving on a divided multilane highway and see or hear the signal of an approaching emergency vehicle. You should:

Disregard the signal if there are other lanes available for the emergency vehicle.

Stop as quickly as you can.

Slow down, move your vehicle to provide a clear path for the emergency vehicle, and stop.

Increase your speed to get out of the way of the emergency vehicle.

If you hear the siren or see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle, you must slow down, provide a clear path for the vehicle, and stop. Don't try to outdrive the emergency vehicle.

4. If a vehicle is equipped with airbags:

Seat belts should still be worn.

Seat belts do not need to be worn.

Seat belts should be worn behind the back.

Check your mirrors and signal, then change lanes.

Signal, check your mirrors, check your blind spot in the direction you plan to move, then change lanes.

Signal, check your mirrors, and change lanes.

Signal and change lanes.

Before changing lanes, you should activate your turn signal in the appropriate direction and check your rearview and side mirrors. Look over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move in order to check your blind spot and check the far lane to be sure no one else is trying to enter the same lane as you. Change lanes when you are sure it is safe to do so.

6. 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.

7. When sharing the road with a truck, it is important to remember that trucks generally:

Require longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on a downgrade than smaller vehicles do.

Require a smaller turning radius than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on an incline than smaller vehicles do.

Because of their size, trucks need longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

8. If a crossing guard is directing traffic in a school zone, you must:

Follow the directions given by the crossing guard.

Copy what surrounding traffic is doing, despite the crossing guard's instructions.

Assume the guard is not supposed to be directing traffic.

Follow rules that would be in place if no children were present.

Be prepared to reduce your speed and use caution when directed to do so by a sign, crossing guard, or law enforcement officer. Always drive with extra caution in a school zone.
