You must yield to pedestrians.

Pedestrians must yield to you.

10. What is the appropriate action to take when approaching a railroad crossing that does not have signals to direct traffic?

Always bring the car to a complete stop.

Slow down and be prepared to stop.

All railroad crossings have signals so you will never encounter this situation.

Increase your speed to get across the tracks quickly.

When approaching an unmarked railroad crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop. Before you cross, be sure that no trains are approaching from either direction on any track.

Turn right.

Turn left.

Park at the curb.

Turn into a driveway on the right.

While you generally may pass only on the left, there are certain conditions under which passing on the right is permitted. You should only pass on the right if you can do so safely and you do not need to drive on or across the shoulder or edge line of the road. One situation where passing on the right is allowed is when the vehicle in front of you is making a left turn.

13. To avoid collisions with vehicles in your blind spots, you should:

Quickly turn your head to see if your blind spot is clear before changing lanes.

Adjust your rearview mirrors every few minutes.

Honk your horn right before turning or changing lanes.

None of the above.

Before turning or changing lanes, turn your head and glance over your shoulder in the direction of your move to see if your blind spot is clear. Never rely on your mirrors alone.

14. When driving at night on a dimly lit street, you should:

Drive slowly enough that you can stop within the area illuminated by your headlights.

Turn on your high beam headlights to better see the vehicles ahead of you.

Keep the instrument panel lights bright to be more visible to other drivers.

You should drive more slowly at night than during the day because it is not possible to see as far ahead at night. You should make sure that you can stop within the area illuminated by your headlights.
