1. Use your headlights on rainy, snowy, or foggy days:

To keep your engine warm.

So others can see your vehicle.

To warn others of bad weather conditions.

On rainy, snowy, or foggy days, it may be difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. Under these conditions, headlights make your vehicle easier to see. If the weather requires you to turn on your windshield wipers, you must also turn on your low beam headlights.

2. If there is a deep puddle on the road ahead, you should:

Maintain the posted speed to make it through the water.

Avoid the puddle if possible.

Shift into neutral as you drive through the water.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, avoid especially slippery areas, such as ice patches, wet leaves, oil, or deep puddles. The safest surface for driving is a dry, solid surface.

No turns.

No outlet.

No U-turns.

This sign indicates that U-turns are prohibited. You may see a sign like this at an intersection that commonly has oncoming traffic.

4. If you have the right-of-way at an intersection, you should:

Assume other drivers will follow right-of-way laws.

Check for traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists before moving forward.

Immediately move through the intersection.

Wave other drivers ahead of you.

After stopping at an intersection, take the extra time to check for cross traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians before proceeding. It is recommended that you look left, then right, then left again before entering an intersection. Yield your legal right-of-way any time it can prevent a collision.

5. When merging onto the freeway, you should be driving:

At or near the speed of the freeway traffic.

At the legal speed limit.

More slowly than the freeway traffic.

You should enter a freeway at or near the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.

6. If oncoming headlights are blinding you while you are driving at night, you should:

Look toward the right edge of the road.

Switch your lights to high beams.

Turn your lights on and off.

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle are blinding, glance toward the right edge of the road instead of looking directly ahead. This should keep your vehicle safely on the road until you pass the oncoming vehicle.
