1. Allowing a space cushion between your vehicle and its surroundings is important because it:

Prevents distractions from other vehicles.

Allows you time to react to unexpected situations.

Keeps traffic flowing at a safe pace.

Keeps other drivers alert.

The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react to mistakes made by other drivers is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you.

2. At night, it is hardest to see:

Road signs.

Pedestrians.

Other motorists.

Street lights.

Compared to signs and other roadside objects, pedestrians are hardest to see at night.

3. After an emergency vehicle passes you with its siren on, you must:

Drive closely behind the emergency vehicle.

Drive as quickly as the emergency vehicle.

Avoid driving closer than 500 feet behind the emergency vehicle.

Drive very slowly near the curb.

When you resume driving again after being passed by an emergency vehicle, you must remain at least 500 feet behind it.

4. Before switching on the ignition, you should:

Be sure only backseat passengers have buckled their seat belts.

Be sure only adult passengers have buckled their seat belts.

Be sure only child passengers have buckled their seat belts.

Be sure all of the vehicle's occupants have buckled their seat belts.

Develop a routine for entering and leaving your car. Before switching on the ignition, buckle your safety belt and see that all passengers do likewise.

5. After a train has passed, you should:

Check again for approaching trains and proceed with caution.

Wait for a green light.

Immediately proceed across the tracks.

Blow your horn and proceed.

Even at a railroad crossing with only one track, you should not immediately start across after a train has passed. Always check for other approaching trains before proceeding.

6. While backing, you should:

Rely only on your mirrors.

Flash your lights.

Open your door to see if it is safe to proceed.

Turn your head and look through the rear window.

When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.
