19. To drive safely at night, you should:

Increase your following distance.

Not drive if you are tired.

Make sure your headlights are working properly.

All of the above.

At night, visibility is reduced. Take steps to make driving in the dark more safe for you and the other drivers on the road.

20. When driving in traffic, it is safest to:

Fluctuate your speed to keep alert.

Drive faster than the flow of traffic.

Drive slower than the flow of traffic.

Drive with the flow of traffic.

Crashes often happen when some drivers go faster or slower than other vehicles on the road. Always try to drive with the flow of traffic, within the posted speed limit.

21. If an oncoming driver is heading toward you in your lane, you should:

Blow your horn, steer right, and accelerate.

Blow your horn, steer left, and brake.

Blow your horn, steer right, and brake.

Stay in the center of your lane, blow your horn, and brake.

If another vehicle is approaching you head-on in your lane, you should first honk your horn to attract attention. If the other driver does not move over, try to escape to the right. If you swerve left and the other driver corrects at the last instant, you will still crash. If a collision is unavoidable, brake firmly and steadily. Every mile per hour you slow down will reduce the impact.

22. You notice that the driver in the vehicle ahead of you is driving with one hand and talking to a passenger. You should:

Give the vehicle extra space.

Know that the driver in the vehicle ahead is reducing their safety margin by being an inattentive driver.

Avoid following the driver's example.

All of the above.

Do not become distracted by looking at passengers, attempting to find something in your vehicle, looking at reading material, sightseeing, or daydreaming while driving. If a driver near you seems distracted, allow them extra space because the risk of an accident is increased by their inattentiveness.

23. When passing another vehicle on a road with two lanes traveling in opposite directions, you should:

Return to the driving lane when there's enough room between you and the vehicle you passed.

Remain in the left lane if you intend to turn left.

Return to the right side of the roadway immediately.

Drive in either lane.

When passing another vehicle on a two-lane roadway, you must return to the right side of the roadway when there is enough room between you and the vehicle you have passed.

24. An approaching driver fails to dim their high beam headlights. Where should you look?

At the wheels of the approaching vehicle.

Toward the right side of the road.

Toward the left side of the road.

Straight down the middle of the road.

If an approaching driver fails to dim their high beams, 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 enough of the road to stay on course until the other vehicle has passed.

25. If a flagger is directing traffic in a construction zone, you must:

Follow the directions given by the flagger.

Copy what surrounding traffic is doing, despite the flagger's instructions.

Assume the flagger is not supposed to be directing traffic.

Follow the laws that would be in place if the area was not under construction.

Be prepared to reduce your speed and use caution when directed to do so by a sign, flagger, or law enforcement officer. Failure to do so is illegal and is dangerous to those working in construction zones.
