1. You exit the freeway on a ramp that curves downhill. You should:

Slow to a safe speed before the curve.

Slow to the posted speed limit for the freeway.

Wait until you have entered the curve to begin braking.

You should always slow down before entering a curve. You may not be able to see hazards ahead and braking in a curve may cause your vehicle to skid.

2. When preparing to drive, you should:

Adjust the seat to a reclining position.

Kick the tires.

Properly adjust your seat and mirrors.

Before you drive, both you and your vehicle should be ready. You must have a valid learner's permit or driver license and vehicle registration card in your possession. You should properly adjust your seat and mirrors and ensure that all passengers are wearing a seat belt before driving.

Hospital.

Upcoming intersection.

Railroad crossing.

Warning signs provide notice to road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers of an upcoming intersection so they may prepare for potential traffic or prepare to turn.

4. Roads are slippery after it first starts to rain. When the road is slippery, you should:

Avoid making turns and stops while driving at high speeds.

Test your tires' traction while going uphill.

Decrease the distance you look ahead of your vehicle.

A wet, slippery road does not allow your tires the traction they need, so it is necessary to drive more slowly on a wet road than you would on a dry road. To reduce the risk of skidding, you should avoid fast turns or stops.

5. Hydroplaning is when the:

Windshield wipers cannot keep the windshield clear of rain.

Tires lose contact with the road surface.

Spray from a large truck reduces visibility.

As vehicle speed increases and the amount of water on the roadway increases, vehicles tend to ride on a cushion of water and the tires lose contact with the road. This is called “hydroplaning.” Hydroplaning can cause partial or complete loss of control of the vehicle.

A construction flagger is ahead.

A police officer is ahead.

A parking attendant is ahead.

This sign warns that there is a flag person ahead. Always follow directions given by a flagger. Flaggers normally wear orange or yellow vests, yellow-green shirts, or bright jackets. They use paddles and red flags to direct traffic through the work zone and to let workers or construction vehicles cross the road.

Yield.

Stop.

Warning.

Diamond-shaped signs are used to warn drivers of special conditions or hazards ahead. They are typically yellow or orange in color.

8. When a car with bright headlights drives toward you at night, you should:

Stop until the other driver passes.

Look below their headlights.

Glance toward the right edge of your lane.

To avoid being blinded when driving at night, do not look directly at the headlights of oncoming cars. Instead, look toward the right edge of the road until the oncoming driver has passed.
