1. Distracted drivers are at a greater risk of a crash when they are using which of the following?

CD player

Radio

Cell phone

All of the above

Using a cell phone (including a hands-free phone) or any kind of audio device (including a radio or CD player) can be a dangerous distraction and contributes to the risk of a crash.

The highway ahead curves only to the right.

The highway ahead turns sharply to the right.

The highway ahead curves to the right and then to the left.

The highway ahead curves to the left and then to the right.

Warning signs are used to warn drivers about upcoming hazardous conditions and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers that the road ahead curves to the right and then to the left.

3. 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.

4. A steady green light at an intersection means that you:

Must slow down and prepare to stop.

Must stop and check for oncoming traffic before proceeding.

May drive through the intersection if the road is clear.

May not turn right.

A steady green light means you may drive through the intersection if the road is clear. You may also turn right or left on a steady green light unless a sign prohibits the turn. When turning, you must yield to other vehicles and pedestrians within the intersection.

5. Roads become very slippery:

When it has been raining for an hour or more.

The day after it rains.

For the first 10 to 15 minutes of a rainstorm.

Right after the rain has stopped.

Pavement can become very slippery within the first 10 to 15 minutes of a rainstorm because the rain causes oil in the asphalt to rise to the surface of the road. This problem becomes even worse in hot weather. The heat combined with the water causes more oil to rise to the road surface.

6. When sharing the road with a truck, it is important to remember that trucks generally:

Require longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on a downgrade than smaller vehicles do.

Require a smaller turning radius than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on an incline than smaller vehicles do.

Because of their size, trucks need longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

7. Downward-facing triangular signs:

Indicate school zones.

Tell drivers to yield.

Indicate construction zones.

Indicate railroad crossings.

Downward-facing triangular signs usually indicate that drivers should yield. Once the road is clear of traffic or pedestrians and it is safe to do so, drivers may proceed.

8. You cannot pass safely on a two-way, two-lane street unless:

You are able to clearly see the road ahead.

You can return to your lane before meeting oncoming traffic.

Your vehicle is capable of the speed necessary to pass.

All of the above.

You cannot pass safely when driving on a two-way, two-lane street unless you can clearly see the road ahead, you can return to your lane before meeting oncoming traffic, and your vehicle is capable of the speed necessary to pass. Do not pass where it is illegal and unsafe to do so.
