17. Water on the road can cause a vehicle to hydroplane. Your car may hydroplane at speeds as low as:

45 miles per hour.

35 miles per hour.

40 miles per hour.

Hydroplaning occurs when there is standing water on a roadway. At speeds up to 35 mph, most tires will channel water away from the tire. As your speed increases past 35 mph, tires cannot channel the water as well and your tires may start to lose contact with the road and ride over the water like a set of water skis.

18. When a bicyclist is making a left turn:

They may use the left lane.

They may cut through all lanes.

They may wait on the side of the road.

You should expect to see bicyclists driving with traffic on the road. You should not be surprised to see a bicyclist using the left lane when turning.

19. If you experience a tire blowout:

Tap or pump the brakes.

Slow down gradually and use your brakes lightly.

Apply the brakes firmly and quickly.

If you experience a tire blowout, you should slow down gradually by taking your foot off of the accelerator. Don't apply the brakes until the vehicle has slowed considerably.

20. Continuous hard braking on ice and snow often:

Helps you stop faster.

Locks the front wheels of a vehicle, causing a loss of steering.

Keeps the brakes from freezing.

Continuous hard braking on snow and ice can result in the locking of the front brake, causing a loss of steering. To avoid the need for excessive braking, make sure to maintain an appropriate speed for conditions.

21. While driving at night, a vehicle coming toward you has its high beams on, making it hard for you to see the road ahead. You should:

Look ahead toward the left edge of your lane.

Look ahead toward the right edge of your lane.

Look straight ahead in your lane.

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their high beams, you should avoid looking directly at the headlights. Instead, look toward the right edge of your lane and watch the oncoming vehicle out of the corner of your eye.

Pentagonal signs indicate that you are in or are approaching a school zone and/or school crossing. Be aware of children when driving near a school zone and follow posted speed limits.

23. A steady yellow traffic signal light is a warning that the light is about to change to red. If you are already within the intersection when a green light changes to yellow, you should:

Stop.

Continue moving and clear the intersection safely.

Increase your speed so as not to cause an accident.

If you are already within an intersection when the traffic light turns yellow, you should clear the intersection as quickly as possible.
