7. If your car breaks down on a highway, you should:

Sit in your car and wait for help.

Use your four-way flashers to warn other drivers.

Sound your horn at passing motorists.

Flash your headlights at oncoming traffic.

If your vehicle breaks down on the highway, you should signal before carefully exiting the roadway and turning on your hazard flashers. Get as far off the road as possible and park in a location where other drivers can easily see you. Lift your hood to let other drivers know your vehicle is disabled.

8. You are coming to a railroad crossing where the crossing signals are flashing. You should:

Stop and look for a train.

Slow down and look for a train.

Look for a train, then speed up.

Do what the vehicle ahead of you does.

When approaching a railroad crossing, you must stop your vehicle no closer than 15 feet from the nearest rail if an installed electric or mechanical signal is giving warning of an approaching train. Be aware of other warning signs that may indicate an oncoming train, including seeing a lowered crossing gate or hearing an oncoming train.

9. An orange triangle on the back of a vehicle indicates that the vehicle:

Carries radioactive materials.

Takes wide turns.

Travels at slower speeds than normal traffic.

Makes frequent stops.

In rural areas, an orange triangle is displayed on the back of farm tractors and horse-drawn vehicles designed to operate at speeds of 25 mph or less.

10. Teenagers should try to get at least ____ of sleep each night to avoid the risk of crashing due to lack of sleep.

Seven hours

Six hours

Eight hours

Nine hours

Teenagers who get less than eight hours of sleep per night are at an increased risk of crashing their vehicles when driving.

11. If you are following a truck that swings left before making a right turn at an intersection, you should remember that it is very dangerous to:

Try to squeeze between the truck and curb to make a right turn.

Apply your brakes until the truck has completed the turn.

Violate the four-second following distance rule.

Honk your horn at the truck driver.

Because large trucks must make wide turns, it may initially look like a truck is turning left when it is actually turning right. This makes it dangerous to try to pass a turning truck. Truck drivers cannot see vehicles that try to squeeze between them and the curb.

12. If an oncoming driver is heading toward you in your lane, you should:

Blow your horn, steer right, and accelerate.

Blow your horn, steer left, and brake.

Blow your horn, steer right, and brake.

Stay in the center of your lane, blow your horn, and brake.

If another vehicle is approaching you head-on in your lane, you should first honk your horn to attract attention. If the other driver does not move over, try to escape to the right. If you swerve left and the other driver corrects at the last instant, you will still crash. If a collision is unavoidable, brake firmly and steadily. Every mile per hour you slow down will reduce the impact.
