20. Which of the following driving skills are affected by the use of alcohol and/or drugs?

Alertness and concentration.

Reaction time and coordination.

All of the above.

Any amount of alcohol acts as a depressant, slowing the function of the nervous system. It will reduce a person's alertness and ability to concentrate, increase their reaction time, and drastically reduce their coordination.

21. If someone is driving aggressively behind you, you should:

Try to get out of the aggressive driver’s way.

Stare at the driver as he or she is passing you.

Speed up as he or she is passing you.

Block the passing lane.

If you encounter an aggressive driver, you should make every attempt to get out of their way. You should avoid making eye contact with a hostile driver. Challenging a hostile driver by speeding up may only make them angrier, thereby increasing their danger.

22. You are driving on the freeway behind a large truck. You should drive:

Closer behind the truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle.

Farther behind the truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle.

To the right side of the truck and wait to pass.

It is necessary to follow farther behind a large truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle because trucks have larger blind spots.

23. If another driver cuts you off in traffic, you should:

Pull next to the driver and yell at them.

Let it go.

Flash your high beams at the driver.

Get back at the other driver by cutting them off.
