Brake hard and turn sharply back onto the pavement.

Stop your car on the edge of the road.

Slow down and very carefully turn back onto the pavement.

Maintain your speed and turn sharply back onto the pavement.

If your wheels drop off the pavement and onto a low shoulder, you should reduce your speed without braking and very carefully turn back onto the pavement. Be aware of any nearby traffic when re-entering the road.

No U-turn.

No turning.

No left turn.

No right turn.

This sign prohibits U-turns. Do not make a U-turn where this sign is posted.

3. You may pass another vehicle:

In a curve or on a hill because the chance is small that another vehicle is coming.

By using the shoulder of the highway.

If your lane is next to a solid yellow line and the passing lane is clear ahead.

None of the above.

You may not pass another vehicle on a hill or in a curve because you cannot see oncoming traffic and may cause a collision. Never pass another vehicle by driving onto the shoulder of a highway. Passing another vehicle by driving over a solid yellow line is prohibited.

4. It is important to slow down:

On narrow or winding roads.

At intersections or railroad crossings.

When the road is wet or slippery.

All of the above.

You should always slow down when driving on narrow or winding roads, near intersections, near railroad crossings, on hills, in sharp or blind curves, where there are pedestrians or driving hazards, and when the roads are wet or slippery.

5. If an aggressive driver cuts you off, you should:

Call the police immediately.

Stay calm and move out of the aggressive driver's way.

Flash your vehicle's lights to let the aggressive driver know he is wrong.

Use a driving action of your own to get back at the aggressive driver.

If an aggressive driver cuts you off on the roadway, stay calm and get out of their way. Trying to get even with an aggressive driver risks escalating the situation and increasing the danger.

Slow down and prepare to stop if cars are approaching you.

Come to a full stop and go when it is safe to do so.

Proceed carefully through the intersection, not always stopping.

Stop only for traffic on an intersecting road.

A stop sign means that you must come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians in or heading toward the intersection. Go again when it is safe.
