1. Seat belts are most effective when they are worn by:

The person driving the car.

Passengers when they are on a long drive.

All occupants of a car being driven on an expressway.

All occupants of a car every time the car is driven.

When you drive, make sure each person in your vehicle wears a seat belt. In the event of a crash, a person without a seat belt becomes a flying object and a danger to each person in the vehicle.

2. When driving on an interstate, to avoid traffic merging from on-ramps to your right, the best thing to do is to:

Change lanes to the left.

Slow down.

Maintain your speed and position.

When driving on an interstate highway, be aware of upcoming on-ramps. When traffic permits, move out of the right-hand lane to allow vehicles to enter from the on-ramps to your right.

3. You have stopped for a train at a railroad crossing. After the train passes, you should:

Wait for signal lights to stop flashing.

Look for a second train.

Both of the above.

Even after a train passes, watch out for a second train approaching on any track. Do not proceed until all gates have been lifted and all warning signals have stopped flashing.

4. When a traffic signal light turns green, you should:

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

Accelerate as quickly as possible.

Back up slowly.

Not move until another driver waves you on.

A green light tells you that you can go through the intersection. However, you must first yield the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians who are still in the intersection.

A construction flagger is ahead.

A police officer is ahead.

A parking attendant is ahead.

This sign warns that there is a flag person ahead. Always follow directions given by a flagger. Flaggers normally wear orange or yellow vests, yellow-green shirts, or bright jackets. They use paddles and red flags to direct traffic through the work zone and to let workers or construction vehicles cross the road.

6. A U-turn is not permitted:

In a parking lot.

On or near any curve or hill.

On a straight roadway with a clear view for 500 feet in both directions.

You must never turn around while on or near any curve or hill. You may not be able to see oncoming traffic or pedestrians and may cause a collision.

7. Your ability to stop is affected by:

Signal lights.

Other cars on the road.

The time of day.

The condition of the road.

Your ability to stop is greatly affected by the condition of the road. You need to reduce your speed when road conditions are poor in order to maintain control of your vehicle. You will be at risk if you are driving too quickly on roads that are slippery and you need to stop.

8. To help prevent crashes, you should:

Communicate with other road users.

Ignore other drivers on the road.

Drive only on side streets and back roads.

Avoid driving during rush hour.

Crashes often happen because one driver does something that other road users are not expecting. You should communicate with other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians by doing things like signaling when slowing down, stopping, or changing direction. Use your emergency signals or horn when appropriate.
