Will drive no differently than they would if they were thinking more clearly.

Can drive faster because they are more in touch with their senses.

Should take the time to focus on driving before starting the engine.

Should call a friend to vent while driving.

You may not be able to drive well if you are worried, excited, crying, angry, or depressed. Emotions can distract you from your driving because your mind is focused on something else. Take time to calm down and get focused before driving.

10. If you are driving near a large commercial vehicle, you should:

Follow the large vehicle closely to reduce wind drag on your vehicle.

Avoid driving beside it for long stretches of time.

Drive on its right side when on curves and hills.

Because large commercial vehicles have large blind spots on each side, you should avoid driving beside them for long periods of time.

11. Construction zone signs are generally:

Square or rectangular with white and red coloring.

Round or octagonal with black and yellow coloring.

Diamond-shaped or rectangular with orange and black coloring.

All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background with black letters or symbols. These signs are found on the right side of the road, or on both the left and right sides if the roadway is a divided highway.

12. When being passed by another vehicle:

Brake hard.

Maintain a constant speed.

Speed up.

When being passed, you must yield to the passing vehicle and not increase your speed. Allow the vehicle to safely merge back into your lane.

13. 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.

14. If a vehicle starts to skid on water, the driver should quickly apply the brakes.

True

False

If a vehicle skids while hydroplaning, the driver should try to regain control of the vehicle. If that is not possible, the driver should release the accelerator and ride out the skid. The driver should not immediately apply the brakes.

15. At a light rail intersection, always:

Look both ways before crossing tracks.

Pay attention and obey all traffic signals.

Share the road with pedestrians and bicyclists.

All of these.

You should never drive around lowered crossing gates. Always look both ways before turning across train tracks and always obey signs and traffic signals. Trains share the road with motor vehicles and bicyclists.

16. If your car becomes disabled while on the highway, you should:

Stop in the right lane.

Park with all four wheels off the traveled highway, if possible.

Stop where you are.

If your vehicle becomes disabled, you must (if possible) park with all four wheels off of the main-traveled portion of the road.
