Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Maine

1. What may help drivers conserve gasoline?

Sitting in their driveways with their cars running.

Accelerating quickly.

Slowing down gradually.

Braking abruptly.

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.

2. While driving at night, a vehicle coming toward you has its high beams on, making it hard for you to see the road ahead. You should:

Look ahead toward the left edge of your lane.

Look ahead toward the right edge of your lane.

Look straight ahead in your lane.

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their high beams, you should avoid looking directly at the headlights. Instead, look toward the right edge of your lane and watch the oncoming vehicle out of the corner of your eye.

Keep right.

Keep left.

Pass with caution.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign indicates that a divided highway is beginning and cars should keep to the right.

4. If you are getting tired while driving, you should:

Stop and either get rest or change drivers.

Drink something with caffeine.

Open a window.

To avoid the dangers of fatigued driving, take breaks every hour or so during a long trip. If possible, share driving responsibilities with another person so you can each sleep while the other person drives.

You can travel in either direction in this lane.

There is two-way traffic.

You are approaching a divided highway.

This sign warns of two-way traffic.

6. Under normal weather and traffic conditions, keep a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

The more distance between your vehicle and others, the more time you have to react to the movements of other drivers. Keep a minimum following distance of two seconds under normal weather and traffic conditions. Increase your following distance under unusual weather or traffic conditions.

7. When driving down a long or steep hill, you should:

Check your mirrors for speeding traffic behind you.

Assume all traffic is maintaining a consistent speed.

Watch over your shoulder for traffic behind you.

Hold down your brakes to control the speed of traffic.

Check your mirrors for quickly approaching vehicles when you are driving down hills or mountains. Vehicles often build up speed while traveling down a steep grade. Be alert to large trucks and buses that may be going too fast.

8. If pedestrians are illegally crossing in the middle of the street instead of in a crosswalk, you:

Must stop for them.

Do not have to stop for them.

Should honk your horn at them.

You must yield to pedestrians at all times. If the pedestrians are jaywalking or crossing the street where they should not be, you must still stop for them.
