1. It is necessary to use your low beams any time you are:

On a lighted street.

On a freeway.

In fog.

Use your low beams when driving in fog, snow, rain, or mist. Light from high beams will reflect off of precipitation, causing a glare and making it even more difficult to see. Some vehicles are equipped with fog lights that should be used in addition to low beam headlights.

2. You are crossing an intersection and an emergency vehicle is approaching while using its siren and flashing lights. You should:

Stop immediately in the intersection until it passes.

Pull to the right of the intersection and stop.

Continue through the intersection, pull to the right, and stop.

If you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights and/or siren, continue through the intersection and then drive to the right and stop. You must yield the right-of-way to any police vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren or flashing lights.

3. When driving on gravel or dirt roads:

Your tires grip the road better than when you are driving on pavement.

Your tires do not have as much traction as they do on pavement, so you must slow down.

Visibility is better than on pavement.

Your tires do not have as much traction on loose gravel and dirt roads as they do on concrete and asphalt roads. When driving on gravel or dirt, you must slow down. It will take you much longer to stop and it is much easier to skid when turning.

4. At a railroad crossing, you must:

Watch for vehicles that must stop at all railroad crossings (school buses, trucks carrying hazardous materials, etc.).

Watch for multiple trains.

Both of the above.

You must approach all railroad crossings with extreme caution and cross only when you know that no train is coming from either direction. Be aware of vehicles that must stop at all railroad crossings, such as school buses and trucks carrying hazardous materials.

5. What do speed limit signs indicate?

Potential driving speeds for the area

The maximum or minimum speed that is legally allowed to be driven

The speed drivers should drive in heavy traffic

The speed drivers should drive under poor conditions

Speed limit signs indicate the maximum or minimum safe speed that is allowed to be driven on a roadway. The maximum limits are for ideal conditions and you must reduce your speed when conditions require it.

6. The most effective thing you can do to reduce your risk of being injured or killed in a traffic crash is to:

Wear your seat belt.

Limit your driving to weekdays.

Stay in the right lane on multilane highways.

Limit your driving to hours between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Wearing your seat belt is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce your risk of death or injury while driving.

Bicycle crossing.

Stop.

Fines double in a work zone.

Stop ahead.

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign alerts drivers to potential bicycle cross traffic.

8. Drive below the posted speed limit when:

Anything makes conditions less than perfect.

You see a police car.

Entering a highway where there are other cars.

You are on a four-lane road.

When the road is wet or slippery, when you cannot see well, or when anything else makes conditions less than perfect, drive below the posted speed limit. Even if you are driving within the posted speed limit, you can still be ticketed for driving too fast for conditions.
