1.

It is unlawful in Iowa for any driver to read, write, or send a text message while driving.

True
False

Explanation ▾

It is unlawful for any driver in Iowa to read, write, or send a text message while driving. Before using an electronic communication device to write, send, or read a text message, a driver must safely bring their vehicle to a complete stop off the traveled portion of the roadway.

2.

Orange is the color of signs used to communicate with drivers in construction work zones.

True
False

Explanation ▾

Most signs in work areas are orange and diamond-shaped, although some signs are rectangular. These signs and traffic control devices are commonly reflective to better attract your attention at night.

3.

When driving in rain, you must:

Use low beam headlights.
Use high beam headlights.
Use parking lights.
Use no lights.

Explanation ▾

In rainy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights.

4.

You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are following a small passenger vehicle.
Are being tailgated by another driver.
Are driving more slowly than the posted speed limit.

Explanation ▾

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.

5.

If your vehicle has a two-part safety belt system, you should:

Use only the lap belt.
Use both the lap and shoulder belts.
Use only the shoulder belt.

Explanation ▾

If your vehicle has a two-part seat belt system, be sure to wear both the lap belt and the shoulder belt. Wearing either part alone greatly reduces your protection. If you have an automatic shoulder belt, be sure to buckle your lap belt as well.

6.

You must obey instructions from school crossing guards:

At all times.
Only during school hours.
Unless you do not see any children present.

Explanation ▾

Drivers should be alert to the presence of crossing guards when near a school and must always obey their instructions.

7.

If worried, nervous, angry, or crying, a driver:

Will drive no differently than they would if they were thinking more clearly.
Can drive faster because they are more in touch with their senses.
Should take the time to focus on driving before starting the engine.
Should call a friend to vent while driving.

Explanation ▾

You may not be able to drive well if you are worried, excited, crying, angry, or depressed. Emotions can distract you from your driving because your mind is focused on something else. Take time to calm down and get focused before driving.

8.

If you are involved in a serious motor vehicle crash:

Stop.
Call the police.
Determine if anyone is injured.
All of the above.

Explanation ▾

If you are involved in a crash, move your vehicle off of the road and stop, if possible. If anyone is injured, call 911 and provide appropriate help. You must report the crash to law enforcement if there is an injury, a death, and/or more than $1,000 in property damage (or more than $200 worth of damage made to non-vehicle government property, such as signs or guardrails).
