41. Increase your following distance when:

Driving behind a large vehicle that blocks your vision.

Exiting an expressway.

Following a motorcycle.

All of the above.

You should increase your following distance when you are behind a large vehicle that blocks your vision, when driving in bad weather or heavy traffic, when exiting an expressway, when behind a motorcycle or bicycle, and if someone is tailgating you.

42. When driving in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlights.

Use your parking lights.

Use your low beam headlights.

Drivers should use low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver, making it difficult to see.

43. Which of the following are used on some highways to direct drivers into the proper lanes for turning?

Flashing red lights

Flashing yellow lights

White lines on the side of the road

White arrows in the middle of the lanes

Arrows may be used to indicate which lanes should be used for specific purposes, such as driving straight or making a turn.

44. If someone has consumed alcoholic drinks, what will help the person overcome the influence of those drinks?

Tomato juice and lime

Hot coffee

Fresh air

Only time

Only the passage of time will allow a person to overcome the influence of alcohol.

45. When passing a large vehicle, the driver of a small vehicle must be prepared for:

Loud noises.

Excess air pollution.

Wind gusts produced by the large vehicle.

Falling vehicle parts.

Large vehicles can cause wind gusts with a force great enough to cause direction changes in smaller vehicles. Drivers of small vehicles should be prepared to take proper corrective steering action when approaching or passing large vehicles that are moving at or near maximum speeds.

An intersection.

A crosswalk.

A railroad crossing.

A round sign means you are approaching a railroad crossing. This sign is posted a few hundred feet in front of the tracks and tells drivers to slow down, look, listen, and prepare to stop.

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

True

False

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.

48. Which of the following is true about driving on a wet roadway?

As you drive faster, your tires become less effective.

Water does not affect cars with good tires.

Deep water is less dangerous than shallow water.

As you decrease your speed, the roadway becomes more slippery.

The faster you drive on a wet roadway, the less effective your tires will be at wiping the water from the road. If your speed becomes excessive enough, your tires will lose their grip on the road entirely and you will begin to hydroplane (that is, to slide down the road on a film of water).

49. 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.

50. You are driving on the roadway and hear a siren behind you. You should:

Stop where you are.

Pull over to the right and stop.

Speed up to get out of the way.

Slow down.

When you hear the siren or see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle coming from behind your vehicle, you must create a clear path for the emergency vehicle and stop. Reduce your speed and safely pull over to the side of the road. If the emergency vehicle is directly behind your vehicle when you are in heavy traffic, keep moving slowly until you can get out of its way.
