1. You must yield to a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog:

Only when the guide dog is leading the person across the street.

At all times.

Only if a crossing guard is present.

Pedestrians who use guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given the right-of-way at all times.

2. When driving at night, you should:

Always use your high beams.

Look directly at the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.

Increase your following distance.

Driving at night is more hazardous than daytime driving because the lowered visibility makes it difficult to judge speed, distances, and other potential hazards. Increase your following distance to help prevent a potential collision if the vehicle in front of you should stop abruptly. Use your headlights when driving at night, following the rules for proper usage of high beams and low beams.

3. Tailgating other drivers (driving too closely to their rear bumper):

Can frustrate other drivers and make them angry.

Cannot result in a traffic citation.

Reduces collisions by preventing being "cut off."

Tailgating is a common behavior that can lead to aggressive driving, and so it should be avoided. Drivers may face legal consequences for driving unsafely.

4. What is the only medically proven method of removing alcohol or other drug combinations from your system?

Breathe in some fresh air.

Give your body time.

Drink coffee.

Alcohol takes effect quickly and is slow to leave your system. Cold showers, black coffee, and exercise will do nothing to reduce a person's blood alcohol content (BAC). The only way to lower your BAC is to wait.

5. Double solid yellow lane markings mean that:

Neither lane may pass.

Both lanes may pass.

The lane to the right may pass.

Yellow lane markings indicate a separation of lanes where traffic is traveling in opposite directions. When you see double solid yellow lane markings, passing is prohibited from both directions.

6. Night driving presents unique problems because:

The speed limit is increased at night.

There are fewer cars on the roads at night.

Distance and vehicle speed are difficult to judge in the dark.

Night driving creates a unique set of problems for drivers. Due to the reduced visibility, it can be difficult to judge distance and the traveling speeds of other vehicles when driving at night. Drivers can see only as far as their headlights allow.

7. When using a deceleration lane to exit a roadway:

Do not use your turn signal until the vehicle has moved into the deceleration lane.

Do not follow the posted warning speeds unless the roadway is slippery.

Do not slow down until your vehicle has moved into the deceleration lane.

Start slowing down as soon as you enter the deceleration lane and continue slowing until you are driving at the posted advisory speed for the ramp. Before entering the ramp, maintain a safe speed and do not interrupt the flow of traffic by decelerating.

8. You want to park downhill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?

Straight ahead

Right, toward the side of the road

Left, toward the center of the road

When parking facing downhill on a road with or without a curb, or when facing uphill on a road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a road with a curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if the brakes fail.
