17. Drivers turning left must yield to:

No one.

Drivers turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles that are driving straight ahead. A turning driver may only proceed when they can safely turn without affecting oncoming traffic.

18. The best way to avoid loss of control under wet conditions is to increase your vehicle's speed.

True

False

As you drive on a wet road, your tires may start to ride up on the surface of water, causing you to lose control of your vehicle. This is called hydroplaning. The best way to avoid hydroplaning is to lower your speed when driving under wet conditions.

19. A driver does not need to allow as much distance when following a motorcycle as when following a car.

True

False

In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars. Therefore, a driver behind a motorcycle should allow at least three to four seconds of following distance so that the motorcyclist has time to maneuver in an emergency.

20. A red and white triangular sign at an intersection means:

Slow down if an emergency vehicle is approaching.

Look both ways as you cross the intersection.

A triangular red and white yield sign means that you must decrease speed as you approach an intersection and yield the right-of-way to any vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection. You must be prepared to stop if conditions require it.

21. If two vehicles arrive to an uncontrolled intersection at the same time:

The largest vehicle has the right-of-way.

The car on the left has the right-of-way.

The car on the left shall yield to the car on the right.

The car on the right shall yield to the car on the left.

If two vehicles arrive at the same time to an uncontrolled intersection, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. The driver on the left may then proceed when it is safe to do so.

Left.

Before you enter an intersection, look to both the left and right for approaching vehicles or crossing pedestrians.

Look across the intersection before you start to move to make sure the path is clear all the way through.
