26. When you see this black and yellow sign, it means:

The road to the right is for one-way traffic only.

That due to upcoming roadwork, there is a detour to the right.

Slow down because the road ahead changes direction at an extreme angle.

There is a crossroad to your right.

This sign indicates that the road ahead changes direction at an extreme angle (in this case, to the right). Before you reach such an extreme curve, you should slow down as much as you would when making a turn at an intersection.

Watch for trucks.

Do not pass trucks.

Truck parking area ahead.

Steep downgrade ahead.

This sign warns of the presence of a hill ahead.

28. If you want to get off the freeway but you have missed your exit, you should:

Go to the next exit.

Make a U-turn through the median.

Pull onto the shoulder and back your car to the exit.

Flag down a police officer for an escort back to your exit.

If you miss your exit, you should take the next exit. Do not stop or back up on the highway, swerve across multiple lanes to try to make the exit at the last second, or cross over the median to turn around. All of these maneuvers are illegal and extremely dangerous.

29. You are driving on the roadway and hear a siren behind you. You should:

Stop where you are.

Pull over to the right and stop.

Speed up to get out of the way.

Slow down.

When you hear the siren or see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle coming from behind your vehicle, you must create a clear path for the emergency vehicle and stop. Reduce your speed and safely pull over to the side of the road. If the emergency vehicle is directly behind your vehicle when you are in heavy traffic, keep moving slowly until you can get out of its way.

30. You are driving when it begins to rain. You should:

Drive faster than surrounding traffic.

Drive at the maximum posted speed limit.

Slow down.

Drive closely behind the vehicle in front of you.

When heavy rain reduces visibility, reduce your speed. Turn on your headlights so other drivers can see your vehicle. If the rain is so heavy that you are unable to see clearly, drive onto the shoulder and stop until the rain lets up.

31. Distracted driving may be caused by:

Eating, drinking, or smoking.

Talking or texting on a cellular phone.

Changing a radio station or CD.

All of the above.

It is estimated that drivers make 200 decisions for every mile traveled, making it vital that drivers focus their full attention on the task of driving. Performing any additional task can create a dangerous distraction.
