1. 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.

2. If you are about to be hit from the rear, you should not:

Release your seat belt.

Brace yourself.

Press your head against the head restraint.

If your vehicle is hit from the rear while you are in forward motion, your body will be thrown backward. Brace yourself by pressing against the back of your seat and putting your head against the head restraint to prevent whiplash. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and be ready to apply your brakes to avoid being pushed into another vehicle.

3. If a vehicle is equipped with airbags:

Seat belts should still be worn.

Seat belts do not need to be worn.

Seat belts should be worn behind the back.

Airbags are important safety devices that provide protection in crashes. For best protection, a vehicle's lap and shoulder belts should be used in combination with airbags.

4. If you come to an intersection and your view to the side is blocked, you should:

Slow down and look both ways.

Maintain your speed and look both ways.

Stop, then inch forward until you can see clearly in both directions.

Drivers must slow down when approaching an intersection. If a clear view of cross traffic is obscured, a driver should come to a stop and inch forward until they can see clearly in both directions.

5. If you find that the roadway ahead of you is flooded, you should:

Slam on the brakes.

Not drive through the flooded area. Turn around and find another route.

Drive only in the center of the roadway.

Never attempt to drive on a flooded road. Even if the water looks shallow, it may hide many kinds of hazards. If you encounter a flooded area, turn around and seek another route to your destination.

6. Temporary signs used in construction and maintenance work areas:

Have a red background with green writing.

Have an orange background with black writing.

Have a yellow background with blue writing.

All temporary signs in work zones have orange backgrounds with black writing and/or symbols.

7. In Kentucky, when may hand signals be used by drivers of passenger vehicles in the place of mechanical turn signals?

If the vehicle is not equipped with mechanical turn signals.

If the driver prefers to use hand signals.

Never.

In Kentucky, your car must have working mechanical turn signals. Hand signals may not be used by those driving on Kentucky roadways. Farm, construction, and animal-drawn vehicles are exceptions to this rule and their drivers may need to use hand signals. Bicyclists may also use hand signals.

8. You may cross double yellow lines to pass another vehicle if the:

Vehicle in front of you moves to the right to let you pass.

Yellow line next to your side of the road is broken.

Yellow line next to the opposite side of the road is broken.

A broken yellow line in the center of the road indicates that traffic next to the broken yellow line may pass, if it is safe to do so.
