1. To improve visibility lowered by rain or fog, drivers should use their:

Low beam headlights.

High beam headlights.

Parking lights.

Use low beam headlights when driving in rain, snow, sleet, or fog. High beam headlights in adverse weather conditions lower visibility by reflecting off the precipitation and back into the driver's eyes.

2. Which of the following substances can affect the ability to drive?

Tranquilizers, marijuana, and sedatives.

Cough syrups and cold tablets containing codeine or antihistamines.

All of the above.

A number of drugs can impair your ability to drive, including depressant medications like tranquilizers and sedatives; over-the-counter cough syrups, cold tablets, and allergy medications (which may contain impairing substances like alcohol, codeine, or antihistamines); and illegal drugs.

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.

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. A solid yellow arrow on a traffic signal means:

You should speed up so you can make the turn before the light changes.

You do not need to signal to turn from the indicated lane.

You should prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.

A solid yellow arrow means that the protection of a green arrow is ending. If you are turning in the direction of the arrow, you should prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic before turning.

5. You may pass a vehicle when:

You are on a hill or curve.

You are on a road with a solid line next to your lane.

You are on a road with a broken line next to your lane.

A single broken line indicates that drivers may cross from either lane to change lanes. Dashed yellow lines alongside solid yellow lines indicate that passing is permitted from the lane next to the broken line, but not from the lane next to the solid line. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so.

6. Changing from one lane to another is best done:

Quickly and often.

When a car is in your blind spot.

Gradually and carefully.

You should always change lanes gradually and carefully. Only change lanes when necessary. Every lane change increases the possibility of a traffic accident.

Do not enter.

No parking.

No U-turn.

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.

8. Which of the following driving skills are affected by the use of alcohol and/or drugs?

Alertness and concentration.

Reaction time and coordination.

All of the above.

Any amount of alcohol acts as a depressant, slowing the function of the nervous system. It will reduce a person's alertness and ability to concentrate, increase their reaction time, and drastically reduce their coordination.
