1. When merging onto the freeway, you should be driving:

At or near the speed of the freeway traffic.

At the legal speed limit.

More slowly than the freeway traffic.

You should enter a freeway at or near the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.

2. Drivers turning left must yield to:

Overtaking cars.

Oncoming cars.

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.

3. "No zones" are areas around trucks where cars:

Disappear into blind spots or are so close that they restrict the truck driver's ability to stop and maneuver safely.

Have sufficient space to travel behind the truck.

Have several car lengths between their vehicle and the truck.

"No zones" are areas around trucks or buses in which cars disappear into the larger vehicle's blind spots. "No zones" can also be defined as areas in which cars are so close to the larger vehicle that they restrict the truck or bus driver’s ability to stop and maneuver safely. A car being in a "No zone" greatly increases the potential for a crash.

4. Only ____ can lower blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and reduce alcohol's effects on a body.

Drinking caffeine

Eating foods high in fat

Time

The only way to sober up after drinking alcohol is to allow time for your body to eliminate the alcohol in your system. Nothing you can do, including eating and drinking, can accelerate this process.

5. When changing lanes:

Check your side mirror and look over your shoulder to make sure the lane is clear.

Check the inside rearview mirror.

Slow down.

Before changing lanes, you should check your side mirrors and look over your shoulder to make sure it is safe to proceed.

6. Tailgating other drivers (driving too closely to their rear bumper):

Can frustrate other drivers and make them angry.

Cannot result in a traffic citation.

Reduces collisions by preventing being "cut off."

Tailgating is a common behavior that can lead to aggressive driving, and so it should be avoided. Drivers may face legal consequences for driving unsafely.

7. When you are behind a motorcycle, you should:

Be ready to use your horn.

Drive more slowly.

Allow a larger following distance.

When following a motorcyclist, allow for at least a three- to four-second following distance. Motorcycles can stop quickly and following them too closely endangers your life and that of the motorcyclist. If the motorcyclist should fall, you need extra distance to avoid the rider. The chances of a fall are greatest on wet and icy roads, gravel roads, and metal surfaces such as bridges, gratings, and streetcar or railroad tracks.

8. At a crosswalk:

You must yield to pedestrians.

Pedestrians must yield to you.

Construction workers must yield to you.

Pedestrians have the right-of-way at street crossings but must obey traffic control signals. Where a traffic signal is not present, vehicles must stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk, whether it is marked or unmarked.
