1. 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.

2. Road rage and aggressive driving may be reduced by:

Allowing extra travel time.

Obeying posted speed limits.

Using proper turn signals.

All of the above.

As an increasing number of drivers populate the roadways, road rage becomes more prevalent. To help prevent road rage, a driver should use proper turn signals, obey posted speed limits, and allow plenty of travel time.

3. A solid white line down the center of a two-lane road indicates:

Lanes are moving in opposite directions and drivers are not permitted to pass.

Lanes are moving in opposite directions and drivers are permitted to pass when it is safe to do so.

Lanes are moving in the same direction and drivers are not permitted to pass.

Lanes are moving in the same direction and drivers are permitted to pass when it is safe to do so.

White lines are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction. Solid lines indicate that drivers are not permitted to pass.

4. While backing, you should:

Rely only on your mirrors.

Flash your lights.

Open your door to see if it is safe to proceed.

Turn your head and look through the rear window.

When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.

5. Braking distance is affected by:

The speed your vehicle is traveling.

The condition of your brakes and tires.

The condition of the pavement.

All of the above.

Factors that can affect braking distance include how fast your vehicle is traveling, the condition of your brakes and tires, and the condition of the pavement.

6. The best way to avoid hydroplaning is to:

Keep your tires properly maintained.

Slow down when roads are wet or slushy.

Watch out for standing water or puddles.

All of the above.

When roads are wet, cars take a longer distance to stop and may skid on quick turns. Do not use cruise control when driving under wet or icy conditions. Reduce your speed and drive with caution.

7. A flashing red light on a traffic signal means:

The same thing as a stop sign.

The traffic signal is broken.

You do not have to come to a complete stop.

Driving conditions are dangerous.

A flashing red light means the same thing as a stop sign. If you encounter a flashing red light, you should come to a complete stop, yield to appropriate traffic and pedestrians, and only proceed when it is safe to do so.

8. When you are being tailgated:

Move over to the right, if there is an open lane to your right.

If there is not an open lane to your right, wait until the way is clear ahead and reduce your speed slowly to encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Never slow down abruptly.

All of the above.

If you are being tailgated by another driver and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, wait until the road ahead is clear and then reduce your speed slowly. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you. Never slow down abruptly as this will only increase the risk of your vehicle being hit from behind.
