17. Using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle is considered a distraction because:

It causes the driver to be concerned about the cost of the call.

It occupies the driver's hands, eyes, and mind.

It is an activity that draws the attention of other drivers.

Using a cell phone while driving is dangerous because it occupies the user's eyes, hands, and mind. Even the most skilled drivers increase their risk of being involved in a crash by using a cell phone on the road.

18. When driving on a slippery surface, such as snow or ice:

Shift to a low gear before going down steep hills.

Maintain traction by following other vehicles closely.

Pump your brakes to keep them from freezing.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, you should shift to a low gear before going down a steep hill. You should also follow farther behind the vehicle in front of you than you normally would. Quick stops should be avoided. Unless you have antilock brakes, pump the brakes to slow or stop.

19. Remove all snow, frost, and ice from:

Just the windshield.

All windows.

Just the windshield and passenger window.

It is important that you are able to see clearly through all of your vehicle's windows, including the windshield. Remove all snow, ice, and frost from your vehicle's windows and mirrors before you start to drive.

20. Allow extra space in front of your vehicle when following a:

Station wagon.

Passenger vehicle.

Motorcycle.

Allow for extra space when driving behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than other vehicles can and you must have adequate room to stop if the motorcyclist brakes or falls off. Also, remember that motorcycles are difficult to see at night because they only have one tail light.

21. What is the purpose of rumble strips?

They alert drivers to potential tire problems.

They test a vehicle's shock absorbers.

Through vibration and sound, they alert inattentive drivers to the fact that their vehicles have left the travel lane.

Rumble strips create noise and vibrations to warn drowsy or inattentive drivers that they are straying off of the road or are approaching a stop sign or signal.

22. Sudden wind gusts on highways:

Generally affect only the movement of large vehicles.

Only cause visibility problems.

Can cause problems for all vehicles.

While it can create special problems for large vehicles, strong wind can cause problems for all drivers. Wind can lower visibility by blowing dirt and dust into the roadway, but it can sometimes also physically move a vehicle.

23. 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.

24. A red arrow pointing to the right on a traffic light means you may:

Turn in that direction after slowing and checking for traffic.

Not turn in that direction until the light turns green.

Turn in that direction after you come to a complete stop.

A red arrow means "stop." You must remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears. Do not turn against a red arrow.
