1. If you need to stop quickly and your vehicle is not equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), you should:

Hold down the brake pedal.

Firmly pump your brakes.

Lightly tap the brakes.

Release the brake pedal.

Pumping the brakes is generally the best way to stop a car in an emergency. The car will stop quickly and you will also be able to continue steering.

2. As you drive, you're required to stop your vehicle:

At an intersection with a stop sign.

Where there is a red light.

When a traffic officer orders you to stop.

All of the above.

Situations where motorists are required to stop include approaching intersections with stop signs, approaching intersections where a red light is either flashing or illuminated, or any time when a traffic officer orders your vehicle to stop.

3. How can you help prevent rear-end collisions?

Avoid sudden stops.

Before stopping, check your mirrors and blind spots for traffic.

Release the gas pedal and let your vehicle slow before applying the brakes.

All of the above.

Stopping suddenly can make it difficult for drivers behind you to avoid a rear-end collision. When stopping, release the accelerator to allow your vehicle to slow. Press the brake pedal by applying steady pressure, activating your brake lights and causing the vehicle to stop smoothly.

4. When parking your vehicle downhill on a two-way street:

Turn your wheels to the right.

Turn your wheels to the left.

Keep your wheels pointed straight ahead.

Leave your transmission in neutral.

When you park on a downward-facing slope, turn your wheels sharply toward the side of the road. This way, if your vehicle starts to roll downhill, it will roll away from traffic.

5. You are driving at night and another vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction. Your headlights:

Should be on their high beam setting.

Should be on their low beam setting.

Should be off. Use your parking lights.

May be on either their high or low beam setting.

Do not use your high beam headlights when approaching or following another vehicle at night. Switch to the low beam setting to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.

6. When making a turn, you must ____ your speed.

Increase

Maintain

Vary

Reduce

When turning, you should reduce to a speed that allows you to maintain control of your vehicle, stay in your lane, and react to unexpected situations.
