The maximum or minimum speed that is legally allowed to be driven

Quickly cut across traffic to make your turn.

Make a U-turn to go back to the exit.

Continue driving and use the next exit.

Put your vehicle in reverse to go back to the exit.

Don’t make a last-minute turn into an exit. If you pass your exit, you must go to the next one.

After coming to a complete stop and verifying that it is safe to proceed

After you have stopped at least 20 feet prior to the intersection

After slowing down to a speed of 10 mph

Stop before the stop line or crosswalk at any intersection that is controlled by a stop sign. If there is a stop sign but no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection and proceed when it is safe to do so.

5. What is the only way to reduce your blood alcohol concentration (BAC)?

Drink coffee.

Exercise.

Allow your body time to get rid of the alcohol.

Take a cold shower.

The only method that effectively reduces your BAC is to not drink alcohol for a period of time. Coffee, exercise, and cold showers cannot reduce your BAC or change the effects of alcohol. They can help you remain awake, but they cannot change your BAC or make you sober.

6. If you are driving when weather, road, and traffic conditions are not ideal, keep a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

There are situations when you need more space in front of your vehicle than usual. Increase your following distance to at least four seconds when driving conditions are not ideal.

Stop immediately and let the vehicle pass.

Drive as far toward the right side of the road as is safe and stop.

Proceed slowly and permit the vehicle to pass.

Keep moving slowly, staying to the right side of the road.

When driving on a two-lane roadway or undivided highway, you must yield to an emergency vehicle using its lights and/or siren, regardless of the direction from which it is approaching. Immediately drive as near as possible to the right side of the road and stop, taking care not to stop within an intersection.

8. When you see other drivers around you acting or reacting in anger:

Don’t make eye contact.

Don't react with hand gestures.

Distance yourself from the situation.

All of these.

When other drivers are behaving angrily, you should take action to physically and mentally distance yourself from the situation. Avoid making eye contact with them, or making body movements or gestures that could provoke them. Slow down, move over, or do whatever you safely can to put yourself out of danger.
