Explanation
When you back up a vehicle, look through your back window for pedestrians and other obstacles. Do not rely only on your mirrors, especially when children are near. Before you back into or out of a driveway, get out of the vehicle and check behind your vehicle.
8. When merging onto a freeway, it is usually best to:
Explanation
When entering a freeway, use the on-ramp to accelerate to the speed of freeway traffic so you can blend in smoothly and safely. Entering traffic must yield to traffic already on the freeway.
9. In winter weather, overpasses and bridges:
Explanation
During the winter, take extra precautions when driving on bridges and overpasses, which can freeze before and remain icy longer than other roadways. A road on which ice and snow are completely frozen is pretty slippery, even though it provides more traction than a road with melting ice.
10. If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you, you should look toward ____ of the road.
Explanation
If a vehicle approaching you is using its high beams and fails to dim them, you should glance toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and will allow you to see well enough to stay on your course until the vehicle passes.
11. You are driving on a busy street and your vehicle’s accelerator sticks open. You should:
Explanation
If your vehicle’s accelerator sticks open, your vehicle will continue to maintain its speed or accelerate, even if you remove your foot from the gas pedal.

Apply your brakes and move off the road to a safe area.
12. Which of the following best ensures your safety and the safety of those around you when you are backing your vehicle?
Explanation
Backing requires extra caution because it is difficult for drivers to see behind their vehicles. Before entering a vehicle to back up, walk to the back of the vehicle to check for children and small objects.
