9. Which of the following influence(s) the effects of alcohol?

The amount of food in the stomach

The body weight of an individual

How much time passes between drinks

All three choices

Your blood alcohol content (BAC) depends on how much alcohol you drink, how much time passes between drinks, and your weight. Eating before or while you drink helps slow the absorption of alcohol somewhat, but it cannot prevent intoxication or impairment if you have too much to drink.

10. Large vehicles have blind spots that can extend up to 200 feet directly behind the vehicle.

TRUE

FALSE

Large vehicles have blind spots that can extend up to 200 feet directly behind the vehicle. Do not tailgate a large vehicle as they will have no way of knowing that you are there.

11. When driving behind another vehicle at night, you should:

Keep your headlights on the low beam setting.

Use your high beam headlights until you are within 10 feet of the vehicle ahead.

Use your high beam headlights.

Use high beam headlights only when driving in rural areas and when other cars are not nearby. Lower your headlights to their low beam setting when you are following closely behind another driver.

12. Allow extra space in front of your vehicle when following a:

Station wagon.

Passenger vehicle.

Motorcycle.

Allow for extra space when driving behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than other vehicles can and you must have adequate room to stop if the motorcyclist brakes or falls off. Also, remember that motorcycles are difficult to see at night because they only have one tail light.

13. Construction zone signs are generally:

Square or rectangular with white and red coloring.

Round or octagonal with black and yellow coloring.

Diamond-shaped or rectangular with orange and black coloring.

All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background with black letters or symbols. These signs are found on the right side of the road, or on both the left and right sides if the roadway is a divided highway.

14. You are driving on a city street and see an emergency vehicle with flashing lights behind you. What should you do?

Drive to the right edge of the road and slow down.

Drive to the right edge of the road and stop.

Stay in your lane, slow down, and let it pass.

You must yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle that is using its siren and lights. Drive to the right edge of the road and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. If you are within an intersection, drive through the intersection first and then stop.

15. If you reach an intersection where you wish to turn but you are not in the proper lane, you should:

Quickly cut across traffic to make your turn.

Turn on your blinker and make the turn from your current lane.

Drive to the next intersection and make your turn then.

Safely change lanes then put your vehicle in reverse to go back to the intersection.

Never make last-minute turns. If you reach an intersection where you wish to turn but you are not in the proper lane to make the turn, drive to the next intersection and then make the turn from the proper lane.

16. After you have passed a vehicle moving in the same direction, it is safe to move back into the right lane:

After about three seconds.

When you can no longer see the passed vehicle over your right shoulder.

When you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

When passing, you should not return to your original lane until you can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror. Always check your blind spots before moving back into your original lane.
