9. Railroad crossings should always be considered:

Safe to cross, as it is unlikely that a train will be coming.

Dangerous.

Safe locations to park a car.

A place where it is required to stop

Railroad crossings are always dangerous. Drivers should always look and listen for trains approaching from either direction on all railroad tracks. Always follow the directions indicated by signs, signals, and flaggers. Never proceed past a railroad crossing until you are certain it is safe to do so.

10. Consuming which of the following substances may impair your ability to drive safely and may result in an arrest for driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII)?

Beer, wine, and other liquor

Controlled substances, such as illegal drugs or prescription medicines

Inhalants, such as glue or paint

All of the above

A wide variety of intoxicants can impair your ability to drive. These include all types of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, inhalants, and many legal medications (both prescription and over-the-counter).

Yield sign.

School crossing sign.

Stop sign.

A downward-facing triangular sign is always a yield sign. Drivers must be prepared to slow down or stop when approaching a yield sign.

12. Which of the following is a dangerous habit when driving in work zones?

Tailgating another vehicle

Failing to carefully watch for workers and moving equipment

13. A person who drives much slower than the speed limit:

Is a very safe driver.

Always has the right-of-way.

Should not let following cars pass.

May create a dangerous driving environment.

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.

You must travel at the speed indicated.

The maximum legal speed on the roadway is 55 mph.

You must travel through the intersection at the posted speed.

None of the above.

This is a speed limit sign. It indicates the maximum legal speed that you may drive on the road where it is posted. At times of rain, snow, ice, or other less-than-ideal conditions, you may have to drive more slowly than the posted limit.

16. Because driving involves some risk, it is wise to continually improve your driving and observation skills.

True

False

Driving can become unsafe if drivers believe they have nothing to improve. For your safety and the safety of others, always strive to improve your driving and observation skills.
