18. Headlights must be used:

After 6 p.m. and before 7 a.m.

After 7 p.m. and before 8 a.m.

After 8 p.m. and before 7 a.m. during daylight savings time.

From sunset to sunrise.

You must have your headlights turned on when driving from a half hour after sunset until a half hour before sunrise. Turn on your headlights when driving in lowered-visibility situations.

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. When you are behind a motorcycle, you should:

Be ready to use your horn.

Drive more slowly.

Allow a larger following distance.

When following a motorcyclist, allow for at least a three- to four-second following distance. Motorcycles can stop quickly and following them too closely endangers your life and that of the motorcyclist. If the motorcyclist should fall, you need extra distance to avoid the rider. The chances of a fall are greatest on wet and icy roads, gravel roads, and metal surfaces such as bridges, gratings, and streetcar or railroad tracks.

21. When you are being tailgated:

Move over to the right, if there is an open lane to your right.

If there is not an open lane to your right, wait until the way is clear ahead and reduce your speed slowly to encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Never slow down abruptly.

All of the above.

If you are being tailgated by another driver and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, wait until the road ahead is clear and then reduce your speed slowly. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you. Never slow down abruptly as this will only increase the risk of your vehicle being hit from behind.

School crossing.

Pedestrian crossing.

Jogging trail.

Busy sidewalk.

This sign indicates the presence of a pedestrian crossing. You should watch for people entering a crosswalk or crossing your path. Slow down and be prepared to stop.

23. 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.
