1. Tailgating other drivers (driving too closely to their rear bumper):

Can frustrate other drivers and make them angry.

Cannot result in a traffic citation.

Reduces collisions by preventing being "cut off."

Tailgating is a common behavior that can lead to aggressive driving, and so it should be avoided. Drivers may face legal consequences for driving unsafely.

2. A broken yellow line down the center of a road indicates that:

A construction zone is ahead.

Passing is not permitted from either direction.

Passing is permitted from either direction.

When broken yellow lines separate the lanes of traffic on a two-lane roadway, any driver may pass when there is no oncoming traffic.

3. If oncoming headlights are blinding you while you are driving at night, you should:

Look toward the right edge of the road.

Switch your lights to high beams.

Turn your lights on and off.

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle are blinding, glance toward the right edge of the road instead of looking directly ahead. This should keep your vehicle safely on the road until you pass the oncoming vehicle.

4. You may drive around the gates at a railroad crossing:

When the train has passed.

Under no circumstances.

When the lights have stopped flashing.

When other drivers drive around the gates.

You are required to stop at all railroad crossings when signals warn of an approaching train. These signals may include flashing red lights, a lowered crossing gate, a flagger signaling, or a train’s audible signal of warning. Do not attempt to go around a lowered gate.

5. You must yield for emergency vehicles:

Under no circumstances.

When you see a flashing red or blue light or hear a siren.

Only when other vehicles yield.

You must yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle that is using its siren or flashing lights.

6. You are driving when it starts to sleet or snow. You should:

Keep your windshield and mirrors clear.

Allow additional distance between your vehicle and the vehicles that you are following.

Approach all vehicles with caution.

All of the above.

In snowy weather, keep your windshield and mirrors clear. Increase your following distance when driving in wet and cold weather because a slippery road surface will increase the distance needed for your vehicle to stop.

7. An inattentive driver is a driver who:

Stares at objects off the roadway or daydreams while driving.

Maintains eye contact during a conversation with a passenger while driving.

Only watches the vehicle ahead of their vehicle.

All of the above.

Do not become distracted by looking at passengers, attempting to find something in your vehicle, looking at reading material, sightseeing, or daydreaming while driving. Continue scanning the road, checking your mirrors, and looking at the instrument panel at regular intervals. Developing these safe habits will keep you attentive as a driver.

8. You must not drive your vehicle at a speed greater than:

The maximum speed limit.

A speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent.

A speed that is safe for existing conditions.

All of the above.

You must not drive at a speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent. You must drive at a speed that is appropriate for the area where you are driving, the type and condition of surrounding traffic, the presence of pedestrians, the weather, the quality of the road, and light conditions. You must drive within legal speed limits.
