No trucks are allowed on an upcoming hill.

A logging road is ahead.

4. When arriving to an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as vehicles to your right and left, you should:

Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your left.

Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.

Wait until there are no vehicles at the intersection before proceeding.

If multiple vehicles arrive at the same time to an intersection that is not controlled by signs or signals, the driver on the right has the right-of-way. Drivers should then proceed in the order that they arrive to the intersection.

5. If you find yourself in a skid:

Brake lightly.

Stay off the brakes.

Brake abruptly.

If your vehicle begins to skid, do not use the brakes. Braking could make the skid worse.

6. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

Divided highway begins.

A steep grade is ahead.

The overpass ahead has a low clearance.

Two lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions are about to merge.

This sign warns that the overpass ahead has a low clearance. Do not proceed if your vehicle is taller than the height indicated (in this case, 13 feet, 6 inches).

8. When backing up:

Look through the rear window.

Press hard on the gas pedal.

Rely only on your rearview mirror.

When backing up, place your right arm on the back of the passenger seat and look directly through the rear window. Do not depend on your rearview or side mirrors as mirrors do not show directly behind your vehicle. Only drive in reverse at a low speed.
