17. This sign means:

Trucks entering.

Truck exit only.

Steep downgrade ahead.

This sign warns that a steep downgrade is ahead on the road. Drivers should check their brakes.

18. It is more dangerous to drive at night than during the day because:

You cannot see as far ahead at night.

The road is always more slippery at night.

Your reaction time is slower at night.

With decreased visibility and the glare of oncoming headlights, you cannot see as far ahead at night as you can during the day. Always use headlights and exercise caution when driving in the dark.

19. When entering an interstate highway, you should:

Stop, check for cars, and enter when safe.

Check for cars and reduce your speed to 25 mph before entering the traffic lane.

Check for cars, increase your speed to match the flow of traffic, and merge when the way is clear.

Rather than stopping (as you would when entering other roads), you must use the merging or acceleration lane to speed up and smoothly merge with fast-moving traffic already on the interstate.

20. If a tire suddenly blows out while you are driving, you should:

Grip the steering wheel firmly, slow down, and exit the traffic lane.

Pump the brakes rapidly.

Brake hard and steer toward the right edge of the roadway.

If you experience a sudden tire blowout, do not panic. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and take your foot off the accelerator to allow the vehicle to roll to a stop. Lightly apply the breaks when it is safe to do so. Do not move to the shoulder of the road until the car has slowed considerably.

21. 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.

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.

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

Low beam headlights.

High beam headlights.

Parking lights.

Low beam headlights should be used when driving in rainy or foggy weather. Even if they do little to help you see, low beams will make it easier for others to see you.

23. What should a driver do when approaching a traffic control signal that is not in operation?

Come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

If the intersection is clear, the driver does not need to stop.

Drive quickly through the intersection to get out of the way of other vehicles.

When traffic control signals are not working, a driver must always treat the intersection as an all-way stop and come to a complete stop, unless otherwise directed by law enforcement. The driver must then look and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

24. When using a deceleration lane to exit a roadway:

Do not use your turn signal until the vehicle has moved into the deceleration lane.

Do not follow the posted warning speeds unless the roadway is slippery.

Do not slow down until your vehicle has moved into the deceleration lane.

Start slowing down as soon as you enter the deceleration lane and continue slowing until you are driving at the posted advisory speed for the ramp. Before entering the ramp, maintain a safe speed and do not interrupt the flow of traffic by decelerating.

25. Which of the following road surfaces freezes first?

A tunnel

An intersection

A bridge

Pavement on bridges and overpasses can become icy even when other surrounding pavement is dry. Bridges often freeze before, and thaw out after, the rest of a road.
