1.

To turn left from a multilane one-way street onto a one-way street, you should start your turn from:

Any lane (as long as it is safe).
The lane closest to the left curb.
The lane in the center of the road.

Explanation ▾

When turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, you should begin the turn from the far left lane.

2.

This road sign means:

Do not enter.
No parking.
No U-turn.

Explanation ▾

This sign prohibits drivers from making a U-turn. You cannot turn around to go in the opposite direction at an intersection where this sign is posted.

3.

Before changing lanes or attempting to pass another vehicle, you should:

Check your blind spots and mirrors.
Signal your intention before changing lanes.
All of the above.

Explanation ▾

Every time you want to change lanes or otherwise move your vehicle to the right or left, signal to alert other drivers to your intentions. Always check your mirrors and turn your head to check your blind spot before attempting any lateral move.

4.

There are oncoming vehicles to your left and a row of parked vehicles to your right. You should steer:

Closer to the oncoming vehicles than the parked vehicles.
Closer to the parked vehicles than the oncoming vehicles.
A middle course between the oncoming and parked vehicles.

Explanation ▾

If there are oncoming vehicles to your left and a row of parked vehicles to your right, the best thing to do is to split the difference. Steer a middle course between the oncoming cars and the parked cars.

5.

Any amount of alcohol in the blood may affect a driver's:

Right-of-way privileges.
Judgment and physical coordination.
Knowledge.

Explanation ▾

A driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle may be impaired at any BAC level, even a level lower than the legal limit. Any amount of alcohol can affect one’s judgment and physical coordination. Driving under the influence of even a small amount of alcohol can lead to criminal charges.

6.

When driving in fog, rain, or snow, use:

Low beams.
High beams.
Fog lights only.

Explanation ▾

Low beam headlights should be used in fog, rain, and snow. The light from high beams will reflect back to the driver under these weather conditions, causing a glare that will make it difficult to see ahead.

7.

When backing up:

Look through the rear window.
Press hard on the gas pedal.
Rely only on your rearview mirror.

Explanation ▾

When backing up, place your right arm on the back of the passenger seat and look directly through the rear window. Do not depend on your rearview or side mirrors as mirrors do not show directly behind your vehicle. Only drive in reverse at a low speed.

8.

When driving under low-visibility conditions due to fog, you should:

Turn on your high beam headlights.
Slow down and use your low beam headlights.
Increase your speed so you do not cause an accident.

Explanation ▾

When driving in fog, you should slow down and use your low beam lights. If the fog is so dense that you cannot see, pull off the road and wait for the fog to clear.
