1. The act of turning your head and checking your blind spot before changing lanes, driving away from a curb, or merging your vehicle into traffic is:

A bad driving habit.

A good driving habit.

Unnecessary.

Not necessary if you use the rearview mirror.

When changing lanes, it is important to check your blind spots. Do this by looking over your shoulder toward the next lane. Do not rely only on your mirrors.

2. The maximum posted speed limit should be driven only:

During the night.

During the day.

Under ideal conditions.

The posted maximum speed limit is the fastest legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions. It is safest to drive at the same speed as surrounding traffic, up to the maximum speed limit. Maintaining a safe speed at all times is a responsibility shared by all motorists.

3. You should use your horn when:

Another vehicle is in your way.

It may help prevent a collision.

Another driver makes a mistake.

Only use your horn when it is necessary to avoid collisions. Do not use your horn if a driver or bicyclist is moving slowly and you want him or her to drive faster or get out of your way.

4. Which of these statements is true about drugs and driving?

Any prescription drug is safe to use if you don't feel drowsy.

Even over-the-counter drugs can impair your driving.

Only illegal drugs can impair your driving.

Legal prescription and over-the-counter drugs can impair your ability to drive, including drugs taken for colds, hay fever, allergies, or to calm nerves or muscles. It is illegal to drive while under the influence of any drug that impairs your ability to drive safely; this law does not differentiate between illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter drugs.

5. If you are driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you should:

Decrease your speed.

Pull off the right side of the road and let traffic pass.

Not let the other cars pass your vehicle.

Use your four-way flashers.

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.

6. Which statement is true?

You must stop at a railroad crossing when directed to do so by a flagger or stop sign.

You have the right-of-way at a railroad crossing and do not need to stop.

You must stop at a railroad crossing when directed to do so by a flagger, stop sign, or warning signal. Use caution when driving near railroad tracks.

7. Motorists are not required to yield to pedestrians when they walk against a traffic light.

True

False

Drivers should always be willing to give a pedestrian the right-of-way, regardless of whether or not they are legally entitled to it. Always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, motor vehicles, bicyclists, or anyone else who has moved into an intersection before you.
