1. If a child is riding a bicycle near your vehicle:

Beep your horn.

Expect the child to be in total control of the bicycle.

Expect the unexpected.

Children on bicycles are sometimes unpredictable. Young bicyclists are especially likely to make surprising changes in direction. Remember that children and bicycles are both small in stature and may become difficult to see.

2. When approaching a four-way stop, drivers must yield the right-of-way to all motorists who arrived before them.

TRUE

FALSE

At a four-way stop, you must yield the right-of-way to drivers who arrived before you. Wait your turn to enter the intersection.

3. You have stopped for a train at a railroad crossing. After the train passes, you should:

Wait for signal lights to stop flashing.

Look for a second train.

Both of the above.

Even after a train passes, watch out for a second train approaching on any track. Do not proceed until all gates have been lifted and all warning signals have stopped flashing.

4. When you are facing a green light and there are pedestrians in the intersection:

You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

You have the right-of-way over pedestrians.

Pedestrians must wait for you to cross.

When facing a green light, you must yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection. Drivers must yield to pedestrians when turning on a steady green signal.

5. If driving in fog, a driver should turn on the high beam headlights to increase their field of vision.

True

False

While it is not advisable to drive in fog, if you must drive in foggy conditions, you should drive with the headlights set on dim or use fog lights.

6. You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

7. If oncoming headlights are blinding you while you are driving at night, you should:

Look toward the right edge of the road.

Switch your lights to high beams.

Turn your lights on and off.

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle are blinding, glance toward the right edge of the road instead of looking directly ahead. This should keep your vehicle safely on the road until you pass the oncoming vehicle.

A left turn.

An upcoming stop.

A right turn.

Bicycles do not have turn signals so bicyclists use hand and arm signals to alert other drivers to their intentions. If a bicyclist puts their left arm straight out, they are signaling that they intend to turn left.
