1. On long trips, you can prevent drowsiness by:

Turning on your car radio.

Slowing down.

Stopping at regular intervals for a rest.

Moving your eyes from side to side as you drive.

To prevent drowsiness on long trips, you should schedule regular stops. Give yourself time to rest and stretch, even if you are not feeling tired.

2. If a driver sees an animal on the roadway:

No special action is required.

The driver should honk their horn.

The driver should pass the animal as closely as possible.

The driver should be very cautious.

Be very cautious any time you encounter an animal on the roadway. Pass the animal slowly to avoid startling or frightening it.

3. When you are being tailgated:

Move over to the right, if there is an open lane to your right.

If there is not an open lane to your right, wait until the way is clear ahead and reduce your speed slowly to encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Never slow down abruptly.

All of the above.

If you are being tailgated by another driver and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, wait until the road ahead is clear and then reduce your speed slowly. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you. Never slow down abruptly as this will only increase the risk of your vehicle being hit from behind.

4. While driving, you come upon a sign displaying the words “Reduced speed, 35 mph." This means:

That the new 35 mph speed limit begins at this sign.

That the new 35 mph speed limit begins at the next speed limit sign.

That you have plenty of time to slow down before the reduced speed zone.

That you should reduce your speed to 35 mph, but only under poor weather conditions.

"Reduced speed" signs inform drivers that they must reduce their speeds. If a new speed limit is posted on one of these signs, the new speed limit begins at the sign.

5. A flashing red traffic signal at an intersection has the same requirements as:

A slow sign.

A yield sign.

A stop sign.

An intersection sign.

When approaching a flashing red signal, you must stop and yield to all traffic that does not have to stop.

6. Emergency vehicles:

Have the right-of-way when using sirens, horns, and/or flashing lights.

May use a loudspeaker to give instructions.

May follow each other.

All of the above.

You must yield the right-of-way to police cars, fire engines, ambulances, or any other emergency vehicles using a siren or air horn and a red or blue flashing light. Follow any instructions given over the emergency vehicles' loudspeakers. Emergency vehicles often follow each other so you should proceed only when you are certain the way is clear.

7. What does a single dashed yellow line separating traffic mean?

Drivers may pass if it is safe to do so.

Both lanes travel in the same direction.

Drivers may not pass.

Drivers may pass, even if it could be dangerous.

Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. A single dashed yellow line in the center of a road indicates that vehicles traveling in both directions are permitted to pass. Drivers may only begin a pass if they will not interfere with any oncoming traffic.
