9. You are driving in the right lane of a multilane highway and want to move into the left lane. You should:

Look in your rearview mirror for traffic behind you before changing lanes.

Look over your left shoulder for traffic in your blind spot before changing lanes.

Look in your side mirror for traffic and turn on your directional signal.

All of the above.

Before changing lanes, you should always verify that there are no other vehicles in the lane you want to enter by checking your mirrors and looking over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move. You should signal every time you change lanes.

10. Which of the following commonly causes traffic accidents?

Inattentive driving

Excessive speed under the driving conditions

Following other vehicles too closely

All of the above

Driving too fast for conditions is a major cause of motor vehicle crashes. Being inattentive to surroundings can cause a driver to collide with other vehicles. Most rear-end collisions are caused by drivers following other vehicles too closely.

11. When changing lanes you should not:

Check your side and rearview mirrors.

Give a turn signal to signal your intentions.

Check for other drivers who may be moving into the same lane as you.

Use your cell phone to contact the police to determine if the road ahead is clear.

Before changing lanes, check your side and rearview mirrors for traffic approaching you from behind. Use your turn signal to let other drivers know you plan to change lanes. Check for other drivers who also may be moving into the same lane.

12. A good defensive driver:

Drives slowly at all times.

Looks out for the actions of other drivers.

Travels at a constant speed.

Only drives in familiar areas.

Even the most experienced drivers can be distracted while driving. A defensive driver looks out for the actions of other drivers and anticipates potential problems.

13. When should drivers use one-hand steering?

When turning the wheel during normal driving activity.

When avoiding a hazard at a high speed.

When turning the wheel at low speeds.

When backing, activating signals, turning on the radio, or activating windshield wipers.

Use one-hand steering only when backing or when operating vehicle controls (wipers, flashers, lights, etc.) that require a temporary reach from the steering wheel.

14. You must stop for a school bus:

That is parked on the shoulder of the road with no one in it.

When it approaches you, even if its lights are not flashing.

If you are both driving on a two-lane highway and its red lights are flashing.

Whenever the driver waves at you.

You must stop when approaching a school bus that is displaying flashing red lights while stopped to pick up or drop off children. On a two-lane road, traffic moving in both directions must stop and remain stopped as long as the red lights near the top of the bus are flashing and/or the stop arm on the left side of the bus is extended.

15. You may avoid the risks of alcohol-related crashes by:

Deciding before you start drinking that you are not going to drive.

Simply saying, "No thanks, I'm driving," if someone offers you a drink.

Calling a taxi.

Doing any of the above.

The only way to avoid the risks of drinking and driving is to decide before you start drinking that you are not going to drive. Because alcohol affects your judgement, it will be harder for you to make safe decisions after you have started drinking.

16. The effect that alcohol has on your reflexes and judgment:

Is less pronounced when consuming beer instead of wine.

Is less pronounced when consuming wine instead of beer.

Is most pronounced when consuming hard ciders and mixed drinks.

Depends on the amount of alcohol in your bloodstream.

Consuming any type of alcohol can have negative effects on your reflexes and judgment. It does not matter which type of alcohol is consumed, only how much alcohol has entered a person's bloodstream.
