1. It is important to be alert to motorcycles because:

They are more difficult to see than cars.

They rarely use their headlights.

Motorcyclists are less skilled drivers than other motorists.

All of the above.

Motorcycles are smaller and harder to see than cars. Because of their size, they are easily hidden in a car’s blind spot. It may be difficult to judge your distance to a motorcycle and difficult to tell how fast a motorcycle is moving, so always be alert and extra cautious when near a motorcyclist.

2. Tailgating is:

Illegal.

Inconvenient, but nothing more.

The fastest way to get to where you're going.

The best way to let drivers know they aren't driving fast enough.

Never tailgate a vehicle in front of you. Tailgating is illegal and the main cause of rear-end crashes. The fine for tailgating can be as high as $100.

3. When approaching a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon with all of its lights darkened, you:

May proceed with caution.

Must come to a complete stop before proceeding with caution.

Must slow and prepare to stop.

Must come to a complete stop and yield to pedestrians.

A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) allows pedestrians to safely cross a roadway. A PHB only operates when activated by a pedestrian. When all lights are dark, you may proceed with caution.

4. A passenger in a moving motor vehicle is not permitted to:

Use a cell phone.

Sleep.

Have an opened alcohol container.

Use a map.

It is unlawful for anyone to drink from or possess an open container of alcohol while in a motor vehicle that is on a public road. Failure to adhere to this law will result in negative consequences for the driver.

5. When approaching an uncontrolled intersection, a driver should:

Maintain their speed and proceed.

Stop at the intersection, check in all directions, and proceed.

Yield to all other drivers.

Be prepared to yield.

At an intersection where there is no stop sign or traffic signal, you should yield to a vehicle approaching the intersection from the right. However, always be prepared to yield to avoid a crash. Do this by taking your foot off the accelerator, covering the brake, and looking left, right, and left again.

Bicycle crossing.

Stop.

Fines double in a work zone.

Stop ahead.

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign alerts drivers to potential bicycle cross traffic.
