1. Alcohol in any concentration is:

A stimulant.

A depressant.

Neither of the above.

Alcohol, in any concentration, is a depressant. It slows all nerve impulses and bodily functions, resulting in a lessening of inhibitions and negatively affecting a consumer's ability to concentrate and stay alert.

2. When you drive through an area where children are playing, you should expect them:

To know when it is safe to cross the street.

To stop at the curb before crossing the street.

To run out in front of you without looking.

Not to cross the street unless they are with an adult.

You should always reduce your speed and use extra caution when children are in the vicinity. They may fail to understand the danger and may run out in front of you without looking.

3. A leaky exhaust system in your vehicle is dangerous because it can cause:

A loss of hearing.

Pollution.

Carbon monoxide poisoning.

Poor engine performance.

The exhaust system carries exhaust gas out of the vehicle and prevents fumes from entering into the passenger compartment. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, keep your exhaust system free of leaks. Replace all defective parts immediately.

4. When you need to change lanes, it is important to:

Signal your intentions ahead of the lane change.

Check your blind spot.

Make sure the lane is clear before entering.

All of the above.

Always signal for an appropriate amount of time before making a lane change or exiting a freeway. Before you make any move to the right or left, quickly turn your head and look over your shoulder to see if your blind spot is clear.

5. When should you yield your legal right-of-way?

Often, even at controlled intersections.

Whenever it helps prevent collisions.

Never. It confuses other drivers.

Never assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way. Yield your right-of-way whenever it helps prevent collisions.

6. The most effective safety restraints in a traffic crash are:

Only a lap and shoulder belt.

Only an airbag.

Both a lap/shoulder belt and an airbag.

No safety restraints.

Safety belts can double your chance of surviving a crash and more than double your chance of avoiding serious injury. Airbags, when used properly with safety belts, provide additional protection in a front-end crash. You should wear both shoulder and lap belts.

7. Under normal weather and traffic conditions, keep a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

The more distance between your vehicle and others, the more time you have to react to the movements of surrounding vehicles. Keep a minimum following distance of three seconds under normal weather and traffic conditions. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

8. If you are driving and you see animals standing near the roadway:

Speed up to scare them away.

Slow down and proceed with caution.

Quickly swerve into the next lane.

Slow down and proceed with caution if you see animals that are standing near the roadway. They may unexpectedly bolt or change direction at the last moment. Some animals travel in packs, so there may be more animals just out of sight that are also near the road.
