1.

This sign means:

U-turns are prohibited.
U-turns are permitted.
Winding road ahead.
Sharp left turn ahead.

Explanation ▾

A regulatory sign displaying a red circle with a red slash through the middle indicates that a specific action is prohibited. U-turns are not permitted where this sign is posted.

2.

If you are driving behind a school bus and it shows a flashing red light signaling a stop, you must:

Stop at least 25 feet away.
Slow down to 10 mph.
Speed up and pass.
Stop directly behind the bus.

Explanation ▾

If a school bus is flashing its red lights, you must come to a stop at least 25 feet away. An exception to this rule is if the school bus is on the opposite side of a dual-lane highway. In that case, slow down to 10 mph.

3.

When you see other drivers around you acting or reacting in anger:

Don’t make eye contact.
Don't react with hand gestures.
Distance yourself from the situation.
All of these.

Explanation ▾

When other drivers are behaving angrily, you should take action to physically and mentally distance yourself from the situation. Avoid making eye contact with them, or making body movements or gestures that could provoke them. Slow down, move over, or do whatever you safely can to put yourself out of danger.

4.

Traffic signals sometimes display arrows to control turns from specific lanes. A green arrow:

Is used only on one-way streets.
Has the same meaning as a circular green traffic light, but traffic must turn in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Means that you may proceed, but only if the green arrow is accompanied by a circular green light.
Points the way to an airport.

Explanation ▾

A green arrow has the same meaning as a circular green traffic light, but traffic in the indicated lane must turn in the direction shown by the arrow.

5.

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.

Explanation ▾

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.

6.

Which of the following is true regarding seat belts and child restraints in vehicles?

You should never place an infant or small child in the front seat of a vehicle with airbags.
An airbag can be dangerous to an infant or small child, even in a low-speed collision.
You should always make sure all your passengers are using a seat belt or child restraint.
All of the above.

Explanation ▾

Before you drive, always fasten your seat belt and make sure all your passengers are using seat belts or child restraints. Studies have shown that if you use seat belts, your chances of being hurt or killed in a traffic crash are greatly reduced. Children age 12 and under should always ride properly restrained in a rear seat. Never put a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag.

7.

When dealing with pedestrians, a driver must:

Make sure the pedestrian is aware of their vehicle.
Always yield the right-of-way, even if the pedestrian is in the wrong.
Yield the right-of-way only when the pedestrian is legally entitled to it.
Slow down and sound their horn near a crosswalk.

Explanation ▾

You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian or another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances. It is the driver’s basic responsibility to be alert to pedestrians and to yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians, even if the pedestrian is crossing the street where they should not be.
