1. A steady green traffic light at an intersection means:

Increase your speed.

Adjust your mirrors.

You may continue through the intersection at a safe and reasonable speed, if it is clear to do so.

A steady green traffic light indicates that the driver may continue through the intersection. The driver should yield to traffic or pedestrians already in the intersection and proceed when the intersection is clear.

2. Always stop before crossing railroad tracks when:

There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.

The railroad crossing is located in a city or town that has frequent train traffic.

You are transporting two or more young children in a passenger vehicle.

Expect a train on any track, at any time, traveling in either direction. If you need to stop after crossing the tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.

3. Which of these statements is true about driving and taking medications?

Most cold medications can make a person drowsy.

Over-the-counter medications cannot impair driving ability if taken in the recommended dosages.

Medications are safe to take at any time, if prescribed by a doctor.

Remember that all medications, prescription or over-the-counter, are potentially dangerous and could impair your driving. Over-the-counter medicines that you take for colds and allergies can make you drowsy and affect your driving ability. It is your responsibility to know how your medication affects your ability to drive.

Upcoming downgrade or hill.

Road construction area.

Upcoming narrowing of roadway.

This sign warns of a dangerous downgrade or hill ahead. The hill may be very long or steep, or it may have sharp curves.

5. If the driver of an oncoming vehicle fails to dim their headlights:

Look toward the center of the roadway.

Look toward the right side of the road.

Look straight ahead.

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their headlights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course. Do not try to retaliate by keeping your bright lights on.

6. If your car's suspension is bad, it can cause:

Vehicle control problems.

Squealing brakes.

Slack in the steering.

Your suspension helps you control your vehicle and provides a comfortable ride over varying road surfaces. If your vehicle bounces a lot after driving over a bump, or is generally hard to control, you may need new suspension parts.

7. Which of these is a safe driving technique?

Using your high beam lights in the fog.

Staring at the road ahead of your vehicle.

Checking your rearview mirrors frequently.

To stay aware of hazards, you should scan the road and check your rearview mirrors every two to five seconds. Constantly staring at just the road ahead of you is dangerous. If you must drive in foggy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights, not your high beam headlights.
