13. It is against the law for anyone under the age of 21 to ____ alcohol.

Explanation
It is illegal in Pennsylvania for anyone under the age of 21 to buy or consume alcohol, have it in their possession, or have it in a vehicle that they are driving. Even if you are not driving, your driving privileges can be suspended if you are convicted of one of several alcohol-related offenses, including transporting alcohol.

14. If your turn signals fail, you should use ____ to indicate that you are turning.

Explanation
If your vehicle's turn signals do not work, you should use hand signals to indicate when you intend to change direction.

15. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Explanation
You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

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

Explanation
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.

18. When passing on a multilane highway:
