9. Which of these statements is true about drinking alcohol and driving?

If you can walk in a straight line after drinking, it is safe to drive.

If you are under the legal blood alcohol concentration limit, your driving isn't impaired.

Alcohol affects judgement, which is needed to drive safely.

Being under the influence of alcohol affects your judgment. Good judgement is necessary to react appropriately to things that you see or hear while on the road. Even if you are below the legal blood alcohol limit, consuming any amount of alcohol is likely to affect your ability to drive safely.

10. When changing lanes, you should never:

Look over your shoulder to check your blind spot.

Change lanes abruptly or spontaneously.

Check for other vehicles moving into the same lane.

When changing lanes, you must be sure that there are no vehicles in the space you want to enter. Check for other vehicles behind and to the side of your vehicle by checking your mirrors and blind spots. Always use the proper turn signal before changing lanes to allow surrounding vehicles time to react to your movements.

11. If you are driving near a large commercial vehicle, you should:

Follow the large vehicle closely to reduce wind drag on your vehicle.

Avoid driving beside it for long stretches of time.

Drive on its right side when on curves and hills.

Because large commercial vehicles have large blind spots on each side, you should avoid driving beside them for long periods of time.

12. When driving under snowy or icy conditions:

It is safe to use your cruise control.

Make speed and directional changes more gradually than you would otherwise.

Drive as you would under normal conditions.

When driving under snowy or icy conditions, you should make speed and directional changes gradually. Never use cruise control when driving on snow or ice because your tires may lose contact with the road and you will lose control of your vehicle.

13. In which of the following scenarios should your wheels not be pointed straight ahead?

When waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light.

When parked on a hill or sloping driveway.

When parked on the side of a level roadway where there is no curb.

While waiting to turn left, keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. If a vehicle hits you from behind, this will prevent you from veering into oncoming traffic. When parked facing either uphill or downhill, turn the wheels so the vehicle will not roll into traffic if the brakes fail.

14. To enter a gap in highway traffic:

Watch only the vehicles behind the gap.

Check behind you, then watch the vehicle ahead.

Speed up and let the other vehicles make way.

Whenever you want to change lanes or enter traffic, you must be sure that there are no vehicles in your way in the lane you want to enter. Always check for traffic to the side of and behind your vehicle before you change lanes.

15. A red arrow pointing to the right on a traffic light means you may:

Turn in that direction after slowing and checking for traffic.

Not turn in that direction until the light turns green.

Turn in that direction after you come to a complete stop.

A red arrow means "stop." You must remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears. Do not turn against a red arrow.

16. You must show proof of insurance to law enforcement:

Only if you are involved in a collision.

If you are involved in a collision or stopped for a citation.

Only if you are stopped and cited.

You must have evidence of financial responsibility, such as proof of insurance, with you whenever you drive. You must always show proof of insurance and your license to an officer upon request after a traffic stop or collision.
