1. Your vehicle's stopping distance increases when stopping:

On a wet or icy road.

On paved highways.

When driving at night.

All of the above.

Stopping distances increase on wet or icy roads. Stopping distances also increase on road surfaces covered in loose gravel or stones.

2. When approaching a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog, you should:

Stop until the person is well away from the roadway.

Honk your horn as you pass them.

Carefully drive around them.

South Carolina law gives special protection to blind pedestrians. If a person carrying a white cane or using a guide dog enters the street, all drivers must stop and yield to them.

3. If your vehicle has a two-part safety belt system, you should:

Use only the lap belt.

Use both the lap and shoulder belts.

Use only the shoulder belt.

If your vehicle has a two-part seat belt system, be sure to wear both the lap belt and the shoulder belt. Wearing either part alone greatly reduces your protection. If you have an automatic shoulder belt, be sure to buckle your lap belt as well.

4. Which of the following statements about blind spots is true?

They are eliminated if you have one outside mirror on each side of the vehicle.

Large trucks have bigger blind spots than most passenger vehicles.

Blind spots can be checked by looking in your rearview mirrors.

Blind spots are areas that a driver cannot see if they look in their mirrors. Large trucks have large blind spots that drivers of other vehicles should avoid.

5. You should drive on the shoulder to pass a car:

If the vehicle ahead of you is turning left.

Under no circumstances.

If the shoulder is wide enough.

Passing on the right is permissible only if it is possible to do so without driving off the roadway. Never pass another vehicle on the shoulder because the other driver will not expect you to be there and may pull off the road.

6. If you park facing uphill on a street with a curb, set the parking brake and:

Turn the wheels toward the curb.

Turn the wheels away from the curb.

Leave the wheels pointing straight.

When parking facing uphill on a street with a curb, you should turn the front wheels away from the curb and toward the center of the street. The back of the front tire should rest against the curb.

7. It is unlawful to:

Pass another vehicle in any marked no passing zone.

Pass another vehicle over a railroad crossing.

Both of the above.

It is illegal to cross the centerline to pass when driving on hills, in curves, and in other locations where you cannot see ahead far enough to pass safely. You may not pass at street crossings, at railroad crossings, where signs indicate no passing zones, or where a solid yellow line is next to your lane. You may not pass when the vehicle in front of you has stopped for a pedestrian or when driving in work zones where passing would be hazardous.

8. It is illegal for a person 21 years of age or older to drive with a minimum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of:

0.05 percent.

0.08 percent.

0.02 percent.

0.1 percent.

For drivers age 21 or older, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher. Driving while under the influence of alcohol is not only illegal, but dangerous.
