1. When driving in fog, it is best to drive with:

High beam headlights.

Low beam headlights.

Four-way flashers.

Use low beam headlights when driving in fog, rain, or snow. High beams may reflect off of the weather and make visibility even poorer.

2. The risk of hydroplaning can can be reduced by driving:

Through shallow water.

More quickly.

More slowly.

Through deep water.

Because hydroplaning is caused by driving too quickly in wet conditions, the risk of it happening can be reduced by driving more slowly.

3. A “No stopping” sign means that, unless directed to do so by a police officer, you may stop only:

Long enough to unload packages.

To avoid conflict with other traffic.

To discharge passengers.

For less than five minutes.

A "No stopping" sign means you can only stop to obey a traffic signal, to obey a police officer, or to prevent a conflict with another vehicle.

4. There are oncoming vehicles to your left and a row of parked vehicles to your right. You should steer:

Closer to the oncoming vehicles than the parked vehicles.

Closer to the parked vehicles than the oncoming vehicles.

A middle course between the oncoming and parked vehicles.

If there are oncoming vehicles to your left and a row of parked vehicles to your right, the best thing to do is to split the difference. Steer a middle course between the oncoming cars and the parked cars.

5. To prevent yourself from becoming an aggressive driver:

Relax and concentrate on driving.

Drive above the posted speed limit.

Tailgate the driver in front of you.

To prevent yourself from becoming an aggressive driver, concentrate on driving and don't take the actions of other drivers personally. Be realistic about your travel time, drive within posted speed limits, and be forgiving of other drivers using the roadway.

6. The speed limit in school zones is:

10 mph.

15 mph.

25 mph.

45 mph.

The statewide speed limit in school zones is 15 miles per hour. Always drive with extra caution when driving in an area where you may encounter children or other pedestrians.

7. If your vehicle begins to skid, you should:

Ease up on the gas pedal.

Brake as hard as possible.

Turn off the ignition.

If your vehicle begins to skid, release the accelerator or brake pedal to regain vehicle balance. Steer in the direction of the skid to regain control of the vehicle.

8. Children on bicycles should be given extra space by motor vehicle operators because:

They do not have the same physical reflexes as adults.

They are smaller and more difficult to see than adults.

Both of the above.

Children are often the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult pedestrians to see. Take extra care to look out for children, especially near schools, bus stops, playgrounds, parks, and ice cream trucks. Be aware of children riding bikes on the sidewalk, as they may come onto the road unexpectedly.
