A breathalyzer is a chemical test to determine a person's BAC. A chemical test is not required for the conviction of an alcohol-related offense. A police officer's testimony about how a person was driving, or their appearance and behavior when arrested, is enough.

2. If you have trouble seeing other vehicles because of dust or smoke blowing across the roadway, you should drive more slowly and turn on your:

Parking lights.

Headlights.

You must turn on your headlights any time conditions prevent you from seeing other vehicles. Other drivers may have trouble seeing you, too.

Do not enter.

You may never stop your vehicle there.

Distracted driving is extremely risky behavior that puts not only you and your passengers in danger, but also endangers pedestrians, bicyclists, and other motorists sharing the road. Focused attention on driving helps to prevent crashes.

6. When you approach a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates, you should:

Cross the tracks immediately and as quickly as possible.

Always stop before crossing the tracks.

Prepare to yield to any train at the crossing.

Speed up to beat any oncoming train.

Always be prepared to yield to any oncoming trains before crossing railroad tracks, particularly if there are no lights or gates controlling the crossing. Never start to cross the tracks until there is room for your entire vehicle on the other side of the tracks. Due to the risk of a vehicle stalling, it is not wise to shift gears when crossing railroad tracks.
