1. Which of the following is true regarding seat belts and child restraints in vehicles?

You should never place an infant or small child in the front seat of a vehicle with airbags.

An airbag can be dangerous to an infant or small child, even in a low-speed collision.

You should always make sure all your passengers are using a seat belt or child restraint.

All of the above.

Before you drive, always fasten your seat belt and make sure all your passengers are using seat belts or child restraints. Studies have shown that if you use seat belts, your chances of being hurt or killed in a traffic crash are greatly reduced. Children age 12 and under should always ride properly restrained in a rear seat. Never put a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag.

2. Your first response to reduced visibility should be:

Turning on your headlights.

Reducing your speed.

Turning on your windshield wipers.

Looking for road edge markings to guide you.

Reducing your speed should be your first response to decreased visibility and dangerous road conditions.

3. Which of the following best ensures your safety and the safety of those around you when you are backing your vehicle?

Honk your horn right before shifting into reverse.

Check behind the vehicle before you get into the driver's seat.

Check your rearview mirrors to see what is behind you.

Turn up the car radio before backing up to get the attention of anyone who may be around you.

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.

4. When preparing to turn left, drivers should:

Slow down gradually while checking their rearview mirror.

Move into the left lane.

Watch for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.

All of the above.

As you approach a left turn, signal your intentions three to five seconds in advance. Continually check your rearview mirror as you gradually slow down. On a multilane road, move into the left lane before reaching the intersection where you plan to turn. Yield to traffic and pedestrians and turn when your path is clear.

5. Drivers may not pass from either side of a ____ centerline.

Combination solid and broken yellow

Single broken yellow

Double solid yellow

Single broken white

A double solid yellow line down the center of a two-way road means that it is prohibited for traffic from either direction to cross the center to pass.

6. You are approaching a railroad crossing that has no visible gates or flashing lights, but has a standard crossbuck. You should:

Approach all tracks with extreme caution and cross only when you know that there is no train coming.

Turn your radio down to hear if there may be an approaching train.

Only continue once cleared to do so by a flagger, if applicable.

All of the above.

You must approach all railroad crossings with extreme caution and cross only when you know that no train is coming from either direction. If there is a flagger at a crossing, you must obey all of their instructions.

7. If you become stranded in a snowstorm, the best thing to do is to:

Get out of the car and go for help.

Lay down in your car and go to sleep.

Walk into the road and get the attention of other drivers.

Stay in the car, as you are most likely to be found when you stay in your vehicle.

If you become stranded in a snowstorm, the best thing to do is stay in your car and wait for help. You are most likely to be found if you don't leave your vehicle. Additionally, it may be unsafe to walk around outside in a snowstorm.

8. The best way to deal with tailgaters is to:

Speed up to increase the distance between you and the tailgater.

Slam on your brakes to get the other driver to back off.

Change lanes or gradually slow down to encourage them to pass.

Ignore them.

Check the traffic behind you several times a minute to know if another driver is tailgating, approaching too fast, or trying to pass. If another car is following you too closely, slow down and let it pass. Most rear-end collisions are caused by vehicles following too closely.
