1. A traffic light displaying a green arrow and a red light means that:

You may only drive straight ahead.

You may drive only in the direction of the green arrow.

You must wait for a solid green light to proceed in any direction.

Vehicles moving in any direction must stop.

If a green arrow is shown with a red light, you can only drive in the direction of the arrow and only if the intersection is clear.

2. You notice that the driver in the vehicle ahead of you is driving with one hand and talking to a passenger. You should:

Give the vehicle extra space.

Know that the driver in the vehicle ahead is reducing their safety margin by being an inattentive driver.

Avoid following the driver's example.

All of the above.

Do not become distracted by looking at passengers, attempting to find something in your vehicle, looking at reading material, sightseeing, or daydreaming while driving. If a driver near you seems distracted, allow them extra space because the risk of an accident is increased by their inattentiveness.

3. If you are driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you should:

Decrease your speed.

Pull off the right side of the road and let traffic pass.

Not let the other cars pass your vehicle.

Use your four-way flashers.

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.

4. Bicycles on the road:

Must always yield the right-of-way to motor vehicles.

Do not follow specific rules of the road.

Are nothing to worry about.

Are considered vehicles with the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles.

Bicycles on the road are considered vehicles and have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles. Drivers of motor vehicles should respect the rights of bicyclists.

5. Increasing your vehicle’s speed:

Increases your field of vision.

Decreases your field of vision.

Makes it easier to see cross traffic.

Has no effect on your field of vision.

The faster you drive, the smaller your field of vision becomes. As your speed increases and your field of vision decreases, you must be extra alert to potential hazards.

6. A solid white line on the right edge of the highway slants in to the left. That shows that:

There is an intersection just ahead.

You are approaching a construction area.

You will be required to turn left just ahead.

The road will get narrower.

A solid line along the side of the road indicates where its edge is, marking the boundary between the travel lane and the shoulder. If the edge line angles toward the center of the road, this means that the road is narrower ahead.
