Explanation
If an oncoming driver fails to dim their headlights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course. Do not try to retaliate by keeping your bright lights on.

18. When approaching a steady yellow traffic light, drivers should:

Explanation
A steady yellow traffic light indicates that a red light is about to appear. Stop unless you are already within the intersection.

19. If a vehicle starts to skid on water, the driver should quickly apply the brakes.

Explanation
If a vehicle skids while hydroplaning, the driver should try to regain control of the vehicle. If that is not possible, the driver should release the accelerator and ride out the skid. The driver should not immediately apply the brakes.

20. From the center lane, which maneuver(s) can you perform?

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

Explanation
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.

22. When driving in fog, you should use your high beam headlights.

Explanation
You should use your low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver and lower visibility.

23. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Explanation
If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

24. When approaching a steady green traffic light, drivers should:

Explanation
When approaching an intersection with a steady green traffic light, yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and vehicles still in the intersection. You may continue driving, but should approach the intersection at a speed that will allow you to slow down and stop if the light changes before you get there.
