1. On a two-lane street, your vehicle is being followed by a fire engine that is not using its emergency signals. You should:

Continue to drive in a normal manner.

Stop as quickly as you can.

Speed up to get out of its way.

Slow down, move as far to the right as possible, and stop.

If you are being followed by an emergency vehicle that is not using its siren or flashing lights, you do not need to clear a path. Continue driving in a normal manner.

2. A person who drives much slower than the speed limit:

Is a very safe driver.

Always has the right-of-way.

Should not let following cars pass.

May create a dangerous driving environment.

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.

3. Roads are slippery after it first starts to rain. When the road is slippery, you should:

Avoid making turns and stops while driving at high speeds.

Test your tires' traction while going uphill.

Decrease the distance you look ahead of your vehicle.

A wet, slippery road does not allow your tires the traction they need, so it is necessary to drive more slowly on a wet road than you would on a dry road. To reduce the risk of skidding, you should avoid fast turns or stops.

4. To help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces, you should:

Shift to a lower gear after starting down a steep hill.

Speed up to enter curves and slow down to exit them.

Slow down before entering curves and intersections.

Slow down before you enter a curve because you do not know what may be ahead. Braking on a curve may cause you to skid.

5. You should never park a vehicle:

Within 50 feet of a railroad crossing.

Within 20 feet of a crosswalk.

Within 30 feet of any flashing signal located on the side of a roadway.

All of the above.

Locations where it is prohibited to park include within 50 feet of a railroad crossing; within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection; and within 30 feet of a signal light, stop sign, or flashing beacon on the side of the roadway.

6. 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.

Steep grade ahead.

The road ahead winds with a series of turns or curves.

Slippery when wet.

Warning signs provide notice to road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers to be careful when driving under wet conditions as the pavement will become slippery and more difficult to navigate safely.

8. Which statement about making a right turn is true?

You should swing wide to the left when making a right turn so you won't run over the curb.

You may make a right turn at a red traffic light, unless a sign prohibits the turn.

When making a right turn onto a four-lane roadway, finish the turn in the far left lane.

After yielding to traffic and pedestrians, you may turn right when stopped at a steady red traffic signal, unless posted signs prohibit it. When making a right turn, you should stay close to the right edge of the roadway and turn into the lane nearest to your previous lane.
