If you are already within an intersection when the traffic light turns yellow, you should clear the intersection as quickly as possible.

26. If you find that the roadway ahead of you is flooded, you should:

Slam on the brakes.

Not drive through the flooded area. Turn around and find another route.

Drive only in the center of the roadway.

Never attempt to drive on a flooded road. Even if the water looks shallow, it may hide many kinds of hazards. If you encounter a flooded area, turn around and seek another route to your destination.

27. What does a single dashed yellow line separating traffic mean?

Drivers may pass if it is safe to do so.

Both lanes travel in the same direction.

Drivers may not pass.

Drivers may pass, even if it could be dangerous.

Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. A single dashed yellow line in the center of a road indicates that vehicles traveling in both directions are permitted to pass. Drivers may only begin a pass if they will not interfere with any oncoming traffic.

28. When using a roundabout or traffic circle, drivers should:

Yield to traffic already in the roundabout.

Yield to entering traffic.

Drive in a clockwise direction.

Stop within the traffic circle.

A roundabout is a circular intersection that flows in a counterclockwise direction around a central island and usually does not include a traffic signal. Entering motorists must yield to traffic already in the roundabout and follow the circle to the right until the desired roadway is reached.

29. A blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent:

Won't have any effect on your driving.

If a stop sign is posted.

If a crossing gate is lowered.

If the crossing lights are flashing.

All of the above.

You must always stop before crossing railroad tracks if flashing red lights are activated, a crossing gate is lowered, a stop sign is posted, a flagger signals you to stop, or a train is visible or so close to the crossing that it would be hazardous to continue driving. If you are unsure if a train is too close for you to safely cross the tracks, stop. Never race a train.

Slows down your reactions.

Makes you feel less confident.

Begins to metabolize itself more quickly.

Increase as a vehicle's speed increases.

Excessive vehicle speed can have disastrous effects. As a vehicle's speed increases, the potential impact of a collision also increases, elevating the possibility of serious injury and death.
