1. Which of the following is a dangerous habit when driving in work zones?

Tailgating another vehicle

Failing to carefully watch for workers and moving equipment

Both of the above

When driving in a work zone, adjust your speed for the traffic conditions and don't follow other vehicles too closely. Be attentive to workers and machines in the work zone.

Are traveling in the wrong direction.

Must treat the intersection as if it is controlled by a stop sign.

May not proceed until it changes to green.

Treat a flashing red light the same as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop at the stop line or, if there is no stop line, prior to the crosswalk and before entering the intersection. Yield to all other traffic and pedestrians.

3. If you are driving at night, when should you use your high beam headlights?

When you are within a one-block distance of an oncoming vehicle

When you are following another vehicle and are in heavy traffic

When there are no oncoming vehicles approaching

Use high beams on open roads, which are unlit by streetlights, in order to see persons or vehicles ahead. You must change to low beams at least 500 feet before meeting oncoming vehicles. You must also change to low beam lights when following a vehicle at a distance of 300 feet or less.

Slow-moving vehicle.

Road construction/maintenance area.

Traffic signal ahead.

This sign is displayed on slow-moving vehicles.

5. Hydroplaning occurs when tires ride on a thin film of water instead of on the road. To prevent hydroplaning in wet weather, you should:

Put on your cruise control to maintain a constant speed.

Slow down.

Move to the shoulder of the road as soon as it starts to rain.

Hydroplaning is caused by driving too fast on a wet road. Slow down when driving on wet pavement to prevent hydroplaning.

6. What is the only effective way to remove alcohol from the body?

Drink strong coffee.

Wait.

Take a cold shower.

The only way to remove the effects of alcohol from the body is to let time pass. Eating, drinking coffee, or taking a shower will not speed up this process.

7. If it is necessary to make an emergency stop while driving on an interstate, you should:

Sound your horn at passing cars to get their attention.

Get out of your vehicle and flag down the first vehicle that passes.

Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers, and stay in your vehicle, if you can.

If you must stop on the shoulder of the interstate or highway, turn on your emergency flashers to warn other drivers and stay inside your vehicle, if you can. The extremely high speed of traffic makes standing or walking along an interstate highway very dangerous.

8. Use your headlights on rainy, snowy, or foggy days:

To keep your engine warm.

So others can see your vehicle.

To warn others of bad weather conditions.

On rainy, snowy, or foggy days, it may be difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. Under these conditions, headlights make your vehicle easier to see. If the weather requires you to turn on your windshield wipers, you must also turn on your low beam headlights.
