Explanation
Every time you have to stop quickly, it takes time and fuel to accelerate and get your vehicle back up to the speed of traffic. Drivers who look far ahead of their vehicles can slow down gradually or change lanes to avoid unnecessary braking, leading to better gas mileage.

18. When should you use your parking brake?

Explanation
Many people think you only need to use your parking brake when parking on a hill or if your car has a manual transmission. However, whether your car is a manual or automatic or whether the terrain is hilly or flat, you should use your parking brake every time you park.

19. When may you drive above the speed limit?

Explanation
Respect the legal speed limits and do not speed. Driving at controlled speeds will provide you with enough time to change lanes, slow down, or stop your vehicle, should an unexpected hazard occur.

20. Lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are divided by ____ lines.

23. Your ability to stop is affected by:

Explanation
Your ability to stop is greatly affected by the condition of the road. You need to reduce your speed when road conditions are poor in order to maintain control of your vehicle. You will be at risk if you are driving too quickly on roads that are slippery and you need to stop.
