Explanation
Flashing red lights, lowered crossing gates, and/or bells at a railroad crossing mean that you must come to a complete stop. You must not go across the tracks until the lights and bells have stopped and the crossing gates are completely up. Do not drive around or under a gate that is moving up or down.

18. What happens if you refuse to take a chemical test?

Explanation
New York has an Implied Consent Law, which means that by driving in the state, you have given your consent to a chemical test if you are arrested for an alcohol- or drug-related violation. If you refuse to take the test, your license will be suspended. If a DMV hearing later confirms that you refused the test, your driver license will be revoked, even if you are found not guilty of the original charge.

19. This sign means:

new-york-traffic signal ahead
Explanation
This sign indicates that there is a traffic signal ahead.

20. When braking on slippery surfaces, you should apply the brakes:

Explanation
When braking on slippery surfaces, such as roads covered in snow or ice, you should apply your brakes steadily and slowly to avoid locking your brakes. Apply the brakes earlier than you would on a different surface to allow your vehicle extra time to safely slow down.
