1. You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are following a small passenger vehicle.

Are being tailgated by another driver.

Are driving more slowly than the posted speed limit.

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.

2. Before switching on the ignition, you should:

Buckle your safety belt.

Be sure all passengers have buckled their safety belts.

Both of the above.

Develop a routine for entering and leaving your car. Before switching on the ignition, buckle your safety belt and see that all passengers do likewise.

3. You can help keep the driver behind you a safe distance away from your vehicle by:

Driving 10 mph faster than the car behind you.

Driving 10 mph slower than the car behind you.

Maintaining a steady speed.

It is not always easy to maintain a safe distance behind your vehicle. However, you can help keep the driver behind you a safe distance away from your vehicle by maintaining a steady speed and signaling turns, lane changes, and deceleration in advance.

4. You should allow an extra cushion of space:

When following a station wagon.

When following a driver who cannot see the rear of their vehicle.

When following a small passenger car.

Drivers of trucks, buses, vans, or any vehicles pulling campers or trailers may not be able to see you if you are driving directly behind them. Increase your following distance when driving behind one of these vehicles. Additionally, large vehicles can block your view of the road, so increase your following distance to look around the sides of the vehicle and see the road ahead.

5. You may pass a vehicle when:

You are on a hill or curve.

You are on a road with a solid line next to your lane.

You are on a road with a broken line next to your lane.

A single broken line indicates that drivers may cross from either lane to change lanes. Dashed yellow lines alongside solid yellow lines indicate that passing is permitted from the lane next to the broken line, but not from the lane next to the solid line. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so.

No right turn.

You must turn right.

Watch for traffic on your right.

This sign prohibits right turns. You cannot make a right turn at an intersection where this sign is posted.

7. When changing lanes, you should never:

Look over your shoulder to check your blind spot.

Change lanes abruptly or spontaneously.

Check for other vehicles moving into the same lane.

When changing lanes, you must be sure that there are no vehicles in the space you want to enter. Check for other vehicles behind and to the side of your vehicle by checking your mirrors and blind spots. Always use the proper turn signal before changing lanes to allow surrounding vehicles time to react to your movements.

8. When should drivers yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in a crosswalk?

Only if the pedestrians first wave to the driver.

Only if the pedestrians are not texting while walking.

At all times.

Bring your vehicle to a complete stop at a crosswalk to yield the right-of-way to any vehicle or pedestrian already in the intersection. You may carefully proceed if your lane is completely clear.
