1. 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.

2. It is legal to make a left turn at a red traffic light after stopping only if:

You are traveling on a two-way street and turning onto a two-way street.

You are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street.

You yield to all other traffic at the intersection.

After coming to a complete stop, you may turn left at a red light only if you are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street. Only make the turn if there are no posted signs prohibiting such a turn.

3. Just like alcohol and other drugs, drowsiness can:

Help you to be a better driver.

Make you feel better.

Impair your judgment.

Not getting enough sleep is a cause of poor driving behavior. Just like drugs and alcohol, sleepiness slows reaction time, decreases awareness, and impairs judgment.

4. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

5. When may you legally drive around or under a railroad crossing gate?

Never.

When you can see clearly in both directions.

When the warning lights are not flashing.

Do not go around or under any lowered gate at a railroad crossing. Once the gate is raised, do not proceed across the tracks until you can see clearly in both directions and are sure there are no trains coming.

6. When changing lanes, you can check your blind spot by:

Using the inside rearview mirror.

Turning your head and looking over your shoulder.

Using your side mirror.

Even if your vehicle is properly equipped with mirrors, there are blind spots that cannot be seen by using the mirrors. Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to check these areas.

7. In which of the following scenarios should your wheels not be pointed straight ahead?

When waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light.

When parked on a hill or sloping driveway.

When parked on the side of a level roadway where there is no curb.

While waiting to turn left, keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. If a vehicle hits you from behind, this will prevent you from veering into oncoming traffic. When parked facing either uphill or downhill, turn the wheels so the vehicle will not roll into traffic if the brakes fail.
