Can be ticketed.

Will always receive a warning from law enforcement.

Will have their bicycle impounded.

All bicyclists have the same rights, duties, and responsibilities as drivers of motor vehicles. Motorists and bicyclists who do not obey traffic laws can be ticketed.

2. When driving near a motorcycle, motorists should:

Be sure to communicate especially well.

Be unbothered.

Assert their place on the road.

Use fewer turn signals.

If a vehicle driver does not properly signal vehicle movements to a motorcycle operator and causes the motorcycle to change lanes or leave the roadway, the vehicle driver will be charged and fined as the law provides. If these actions result in a crash causing property damage or personal injury, the driver will be charged and fined as the law provides.

3. What might happen when alcohol is combined with another drug?

The effects of the alcohol and the drug may both be increased.

Nothing will happen.

The effects of the alcohol and the drug may both be reduced.

The effects of only the alcohol may be reduced.

Consuming both alcohol and another drug may enhance the effects of both. For example, taking one drink when you are also using a cold remedy could affect you as if you have had several drinks.

May be safely held by a strong adult.

Will be safe if they are standing on the floor in the back of the vehicle.

Will not be hurt in an accident because they are small.

Must never be allowed to ride while standing in the vehicle.

Special child seats are available for children who are too small to wear regular safety belts. No person is strong enough to safely hold onto a child of any size during an accident or sudden stop. Never allow a child to ride in a vehicle unless they are properly fastened into a seat.

Unbuckle your seat belt and lower your window.

Get your paperwork ready before the officer reaches your car.

If you are stopped by the police, keep your hands on the wheel and ask any passengers to keep their hands in view as well.

Road hazard sign.

7. A steady yellow light at an intersection means:

Go.

Yield to other cars.

Slow down and prepare to stop.

Stop.

A steady yellow light indicates that a steady red light will soon appear. If you are driving toward an intersection and a yellow light appears, slow down and prepare to stop. If you are already within the intersection or cannot stop safely before entering the intersection, continue through carefully.

8. If involved in an accident, a driver should:

Stop their vehicle at or near the scene.
