On the top and bottom of the steering wheel.

Both hands should be placed on opposite sides of the steering wheel. This position is comfortable and promotes safe turning on high-speed roadways.

18. You are merging onto an interstate highway. You should:

Select a safe gap and merge into the lane of traffic.

Merge across two lanes at once.

Always stop before entering the highway.

19. To ensure that your physical condition does not cause you to drive in an unsafe manner, you should:

Keep physically fit and have regular physical examinations.

Know the effect of any medicine on your driving ability.

Drive within your physical limitations.

All of the above.

Your physical condition has an important bearing on your ability to drive safely. Drivers should be aware of their physical limitations and only drive if it is safe to do so.

20. A railroad crossbuck sign should be treated the same as a yield sign.

May either continue through the interchange or exit the freeway from your current lane.

May stay in your lane and continue through the interchange.

Must exit the freeway, if you stay in your current lane.

If a yellow panel with the message "Exit only" is on a highway sign, the lane below the sign will not continue through the interchange. Instead, the lane will go off of the roadway to form a ramp. If you are in a lane directly under an "Exit only" sign, you may change lanes to move through the interchange or you must exit the highway.

22. Highway markings:

Are usually not important.

Are only found in construction zones.

Highway markings provide information for drivers. Markings help drivers correctly position their vehicles on roadways, inform drivers of safe passing zones, and warn drivers about upcoming conditions.

Is in the right because bicyclists don’t have to obey traffic laws.

Can be ticketed.

All bicyclists have the same rights, duties, and responsibilities as drivers of motor vehicles. Motorists and bicyclists who do not obey traffic laws can be ticketed.

24. Your tire blows out while you are driving. You should:

Slam on your brakes.

Hold your steering wheel tightly and slow to a stop.

Keep driving normally.

Turn on your emergency flashers and continue driving.

If you experience a tire blowout, do not immediately apply the brakes. Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer to remain in your traffic lane. Reduce your speed gradually by releasing the accelerator and staying off the brakes. Once you are moving very slowly, apply the brakes lightly and pull off the road into a safe area.
