1. What is the purpose of rumble strips?

They alert drivers to potential tire problems.

They test a vehicle's shock absorbers.

Through vibration and sound, they alert inattentive drivers to the fact that their vehicles have left the travel lane.

Rumble strips create noise and vibrations to warn drowsy or inattentive drivers that they are straying off of the road or are approaching a stop sign or signal.

2. If the rear of your vehicle is skidding to the left, you should:

Not turn your steering wheel.

Turn your steering wheel to the left to correct the skid.

Turn your steering wheel to the right to correct the skid.

If you begin to skid on a wet or icy road, take your foot off the accelerator, stay off the brakes, and turn your steering wheel in the direction of the skid. However, if you have anti-lock brakes, you should apply your brakes firmly and steer straight ahead.

3. When passing another vehicle, you should return to your original lane when:

You can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

You have cleared the front bumper of the passed vehicle.

You are 50 feet in front of the passed vehicle.

When passing another vehicle, move back into your original lane only when you can see the passed vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror. This ensures that you will have enough room to safely pull back in front of the other vehicle.

4. Use your headlights on rainy, snowy, or foggy days:

To keep your engine warm.

So others can see your vehicle.

To warn others of bad weather conditions.

On rainy, snowy, or foggy days, it may be difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. Under these conditions, headlights make your vehicle easier to see. If the weather requires you to turn on your windshield wipers, you must also turn on your low beam headlights.

5. Should you always drive more slowly than other traffic?

No, you can block traffic when you drive too slowly.

Yes, it is a good defensive driving technique.

Yes, it is always safer than driving faster than other traffic.

You must drive more slowly than usual when there is heavy traffic or bad weather. However, if you block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic by driving too slowly, you may be cited.

No right turn.

Drive only in the direction of the arrow.

Curve ahead.

Regulatory signs provide notice to road users of traffic laws that must be obeyed. Where this sign is present, drivers must drive in the direction indicated by the arrow.

7. What should you do when approaching a pedestrian with a white cane or a guide dog?

Honk so they know to clear the way.

Yield the right-of-way.

Swerve quickly around them.

If you see a blind person attempting to cross a street within a crosswalk or at an intersection, take every precaution and extend every courtesy. Allow them to safely cross the intersection before you proceed.

8. The center of the roadway is marked with one solid yellow line and one broken yellow line. If the broken yellow line is directly next to your traffic lane, it means:

You are not allowed to pass in this area.

You are in a passing zone and it is safe for you to pass other vehicles on the left if no oncoming traffic is present.

You are only allowed to make right turns in this area.

When there is a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line in the center of the road, passing is permitted from the side of the road next to the broken line.
