17. If you come to an intersection and your view to the side is blocked, you should:

Slow down and look both ways.

Maintain your speed and look both ways.

Stop, then inch forward until you can see clearly in both directions.

Drivers must slow down when approaching an intersection. If a clear view of cross traffic is obscured, a driver should come to a stop and inch forward until they can see clearly in both directions.

18. What is the purpose of rumble strips?

They alert drivers to potential tire problems.

They test a vehicle's shock absorbers.

Through vibration and sound, they alert inattentive drivers to the fact that their vehicles have left the travel lane.

Rumble strips create noise and vibrations to warn drowsy or inattentive drivers that they are straying off of the road or are approaching a stop sign or signal.

19. When passing another vehicle, you should return to your original lane when:

You can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

You have cleared the front bumper of the passed vehicle.

You are 50 feet in front of the passed vehicle.

When passing another vehicle, move back into your original lane only when you can see the passed vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror. This ensures that you will have enough room to safely pull back in front of the other vehicle.

20. If you are approaching an emergency vehicle that is stopped while it uses its visual signals, you should:

Ask the emergency workers if they need your help.

Increase your speed to get around the incident quickly.

Move into the lane farthest from the vehicle or decrease your speed.

If you are approaching an emergency vehicle that is using its visual signals and is stopped on a roadway, you must pull into an available lane not immediately adjacent to the vehicle. If it is not possible to move over, you must slow down to a safe speed and be prepared to stop if necessary.

21. When approaching an intersection with a flashing red light, you must:

Come to a complete stop, yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, then proceed.

Reduce your speed and proceed with caution.

Come to a complete stop and remain stopped as long as the light is red.

A flashing red traffic light means the same thing as a stop sign. When arriving at an intersection with a flashing red light, you must come to a full stop and proceed when it is safe to do so.

22. Prior to entering a curve:

Activate your turn signal.

Reduce your speed.

Brake hard.

You may drive more slowly than the posted speed limit, based on road conditions, but it is illegal to drive any faster than the posted speed limit. Some conditions which require reduced speed for safety include approaching curves or hills where visibility is limited, driving on slippery roads, and driving on roads where animals and pedestrians are present.

23. "BAC" means:

Blood alcohol concentration.

Big alcohol content.

Blood alcohol conservation.

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a measurement of the amount of alcohol in a person’s blood. Drivers age 21 or older are considered to be driving under the influence of alcohol when their blood alcohol concentration is 0.08 percent or higher.

24. If a vehicle is equipped with airbags:

Seat belts should still be worn.

Seat belts do not need to be worn.

Seat belts should be worn behind the back.

Airbags are important safety devices that provide protection in crashes. For best protection, a vehicle's lap and shoulder belts should be used in combination with airbags.

25. If you are about to be hit from the rear, you should not:

Release your seat belt.

Brace yourself.

Press your head against the head restraint.

If your vehicle is hit from the rear while you are in forward motion, your body will be thrown backward. Brace yourself by pressing against the back of your seat and putting your head against the head restraint to prevent whiplash. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and be ready to apply your brakes to avoid being pushed into another vehicle.
