13. A bicyclist who doesn’t obey traffic laws:

Is in the right because bicyclists don’t have to obey traffic laws.

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.

14. When approaching a steady yellow traffic light, drivers should:

Accelerate to avoid a red light.

Continue driving, as they have the right-of-way.

Slow to a stop, unless they are already within the intersection.

Check to see what the cars next to them are doing.

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that a red light is about to appear. Stop unless you are already within the intersection.

15. The best way to deal with tailgaters is to:

Speed up to increase the distance between you and the tailgater.

Slam on your brakes to get the other driver to back off.

Change lanes or gradually slow down to encourage them to pass.

Ignore them.

Check the traffic behind you several times a minute to know if another driver is tailgating, approaching too fast, or trying to pass. If another car is following you too closely, slow down and let it pass. Most rear-end collisions are caused by vehicles following too closely.

16. How can you lower the risk of hydroplaning?

Do not speed when the roads are wet.

Use tires with proper air pressure.

Replace tires with bad tread.

All of the above.

Hydroplaning happens when a vehicle glides on top of a thin layer of water between its tires and the road. Tires with low air pressure or bad tread can increase the risk of hydroplaning. Speeding also increases the risk.

17. What can you do to avoid the need to make emergency stops while driving in traffic?

Honk your horn to make others aware of your presence.

Look ahead and maintain a safe following distance.

Drive in the right lane only.

Drive more slowly than the flow of traffic.

Keeping a safe following distance will enable you to react to an upcoming problem without the need for a emergency stop, which could cause a driver behind you to crash into the back of your vehicle.

18. When traveling behind a motorcycle:

Allow a following distance of at least two car lengths.

Allow at least two seconds of following distance.

Allow at least four seconds of following distance.

Allow a following distance of at least four motorcycle lengths.

On dry pavement, four seconds of space is generally a safe following distance to allow between you and the vehicle ahead. You should always allow plenty of space when following a motorcycle.
