9. Alcohol consumption negatively affects:

Alertness.

Coordination.

Reaction time.

All of the above.

Alcohol interferes with the brain’s ability to react and concentrate. A driver who has consumed alcohol is more likely to fall asleep at the wheel or drive off the roadway. The more a person drinks, the less control they have over coordinating body functions and movements.

10. You must yield to children playing in the streets.

True

False

You are responsible for driving with extreme caution where children are present. Slow down near schools and playgrounds and in residential areas.

11. When slowing down at a place where surrounding drivers may not be expecting it, you should:

Slam on your brakes.

Release the accelerator and drift to a stop.

Quickly tap your brakes three or four times to alert drivers to your intentions.

Honk your horn to alert drivers to your intentions.

Your brake lights let people know that you are slowing down. If you are going to stop or slow down at a place where another driver may not expect it, tap your brake pedal three or four times quickly before slowing down to your desired speed.

12. You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

13. You are involved in an accident and another person is injured. You should:

Moved the injured away from the scene immediately.

Always leave the injured where they are.

Not move the injured unnecessarily. Keep the injured warm and administer first aid.

Stay away from the injured.

After an accident, do not move the injured unnecessarily. Unskilled handling can make serious injuries out of minor ones. Keep the injured warm until skilled help arrives. If there is severe bleeding, attempt to stop the flow of blood with direct pressure.

14. You are required to signal every time you pull away from a curb.

True

False

You must use the proper turn signal any time you pull away from a curb.

Road construction ahead.

The road ahead curves left, then right.

The road ahead curves right, then left.

Steep grade ahead.

This sign indicates that the road ahead curves to the right and then to the left. You should slow down to be able to negotiate these curves safely.

16. Nighttime is the safest time for cyclists to ride their bikes.

TRUE

FALSE

A bicycle is difficult to see in the dark, even when the cyclist is wearing a proper headlight and reflector. Both motorists and bicyclists should be especially alert when driving at night in order to prevent dangerous collisions.
