1. This sign shows one type of:

Intersection.

Road curve.

Right turn.

Lane change.

This sign indicates that an intersection with a crossing road is ahead.

Only a recommended driving speed.

The exact speed at which you must travel to avoid a ticket.

The maximum safe driving speed under ideal road and weather conditions.

The maximum safe driving speed under all road conditions.

A speed limit sign shows the maximum legal driving speed for the stretch of highway where it is posted. Driving safely may require you to travel more slowly than the posted limit. When conditions are less than ideal, drivers should slow down.

3. A “No stopping” sign means that, unless directed to do so by a police officer, you may stop only:

Long enough to unload packages.

To avoid conflict with other traffic.

To discharge passengers.

For less than five minutes.

A "No stopping" sign means you can only stop to obey a traffic signal, to obey a police officer, or to prevent a conflict with another vehicle.

4. What is the only way to reduce your blood alcohol concentration (BAC)?

Drink coffee.

Exercise.

Allow your body time to get rid of the alcohol.

Take a cold shower.

The only method that effectively reduces your BAC is to not drink alcohol for a period of time. Coffee, exercise, and cold showers cannot reduce your BAC or change the effects of alcohol. They can help you remain awake, but they cannot change your BAC or make you sober.

5. Defensive driving is:

Identifying dangerous driving situations and taking action to avoid accidents.

Defending yourself against poor drivers by getting ahead of them in traffic.

Following the vehicle ahead of you at a close distance.

Quickly changing lanes and shifting in and out of traffic congestion.

You drive defensively when you identify dangerous driving situations and take action before an accident occurs. Defensive driving helps prevent conflicts with aggressive, offensive, discourteous, careless, inattentive, impulsive, ignorant, or intoxicated drivers or pedestrians.

6. Your chances of being in a collision begin to increase after consuming:

Four alcoholic drinks.

Three alcoholic drinks.

Two alcoholic drinks.

One alcoholic drink.

If you drink alcohol, even just one drink, your chances of being in a crash are much greater than if you did not drink any alcohol. No one can drink alcohol and drive safely, even if you have been driving for many years.
