1.

When approaching a curve in the road, you should reduce your speed:

Only if you feel like it.
Before you enter the curve.
When you are halfway through the curve.

Explanation ▾

Reduce your speed before entering a curve in the road so you will not have to brake hard once in the curve. Braking in a curve may cause a skid and make it difficult for you to control your vehicle.

2.

In a vehicle equipped with airbags, the safest place for children age 12 and under to ride is in:

The front seat.
The back seat.
The bed of a pick-up truck.

Explanation ▾

While airbags provide supplemental protection for adults in the event of a crash, they pose a severe safety risk for children. Anyone age 12 or under should sit in the back seat of a vehicle with airbags.

3.

If you must park your vehicle in an area not usually used for parking:

Park with your reverse lights on.
Make sure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.
Park five feet from the curb.

Explanation ▾

Drivers are responsible for making sure their vehicles do not become hazards after they have been parked. Wherever you park, make sure your car is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.

4.

A steady green traffic light at an intersection means:

Increase your speed.
Adjust your mirrors.
You may continue through the intersection at a safe and reasonable speed, if it is clear to do so.

If you can walk in a straight line after drinking, it is safe to drive.

Alcohol affects judgement, which is needed to drive safely.

Explanation ▾

Being under the influence of alcohol affects your judgment. Good judgement is necessary to react appropriately to things that you see or hear while on the road. Even if you are below the legal blood alcohol limit, consuming any amount of alcohol is likely to affect your ability to drive safely.

6.

8.

You may be able to identify an aggressive driver by:

Their erratic and improper lane changes.
The number of passengers in their car.

Explanation ▾

While driving, you should remain aware of the actions of surrounding drivers. If you notice an aggressive driver nearby making erratic or improper lane changes, you should not challenge them. The safest way to handle an aggressive driver is to get out of their way.
