1. One of the strategies of defensive driving is:

Looking straight ahead as you drive.

Staying alert and keeping your eyes moving.

Expecting that other drivers will make up for your errors.

Being confident that you can avoid danger at the last minute.

Because traffic conditions are always changing, you should consistently scan the road ahead. Keep your eyes moving, notice what is happening at the sides of the road, and check behind you every few seconds by using your mirrors.

2. You may not cross a single broken white or yellow line:

When doing so would interfere with traffic.

When turning left into a driveway.

When the car in front of you is disabled.

When passing to the right on a one-way street.

You may cross a single broken line to pass or change lanes as long as you can do so safely and without interfering with traffic.

3. A regulatory sign containing a red circle with a slash through the middle indicates:

That drivers should come to a complete stop.

That an action is forbidden.

That some drivers should yield to other drivers.

That drivers should drive under the speed limit.

Some regulatory signs prohibit certain actions. These signs are rectangular and white with red and black markings. A red circle and slash on top of a black symbol indicates that the specified action is forbidden.

There is an object on the roadway.

Traffic is coming from the right.

The road is curving sharply to the left.

There is a merge point ahead.

Chevron signs like this indicate that the road curves sharply in the direction indicated by the chevron (in this case, to the left). There may be several chevron signs placed throughout a curve.

5. What happens if you drink alcohol while taking prescription or over-the-counter medicine?

The medicine reduces the effect of the alcohol.

The alcohol will help the medicine cure a cold.

The combination could multiply the effects of the alcohol or medicine.

There is no effect because they are different substances.

Consuming alcohol and other drugs together can increase the impairing effects of both. For example, having one drink while you are also using a cold remedy could affect you as much as several drinks would when being consumed separately from any medications.

6. If you come to an intersection and your view to the side is blocked, you should:

Slow down and look both ways.

Maintain your speed and look both ways.

Stop, then inch forward until you can see clearly in both directions.

Drivers must slow down when approaching an intersection. If a clear view of cross traffic is obscured, a driver should come to a stop and inch forward until they can see clearly in both directions.

7. An intersection has a stop sign and crosswalk, but no stop line. You must stop:

Before the crosswalk.

50 feet before the intersection.

Where you think the stop line would be.

With your front wheels in the crosswalk.

At a stop sign, you must stop before the stop line, if there is one. If there is no stop line, you must stop before you enter the crosswalk. If there is neither a stop line nor a crosswalk, you must stop before you enter the intersection.
