1. When entering an interstate highway, you should:

Stop, check for cars, and enter when safe.

Check for cars and reduce your speed to 25 mph before entering the traffic lane.

Check for cars, increase your speed to match the flow of traffic, and merge when the way is clear.

Rather than stopping (as you would when entering other roads), you must use the merging or acceleration lane to speed up and smoothly merge with fast-moving traffic already on the interstate.

2. A U-turn is not permitted:

In a parking lot.

On or near any curve or hill.

On a straight roadway with a clear view for 500 feet in both directions.

You must never turn around while on or near any curve or hill. You may not be able to see oncoming traffic or pedestrians and may cause a collision.

3. If you are driving near a large commercial vehicle, you should:

Follow the large vehicle closely to reduce wind drag on your vehicle.

Avoid driving beside it for long stretches of time.

Drive on its right side when on curves and hills.

Because large commercial vehicles have large blind spots on each side, you should avoid driving beside them for long periods of time.

4. If you approach a traffic light with a red signal and a police officer directs you to go through the intersection without stopping, you should:

Stop until the light turns green.

Go through the intersection without stopping.

Come to a complete stop before proceeding.

Instructions given by police officers directing traffic always override posted traffic signals and signs. Follow the officer's instructions.

5. You should always travel:

At the speed of vehicles surrounding you.

At the speed limit.

At a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.

The speed at which you should drive your vehicle depends on road conditions, the weather, and the legal speed limit. You may never drive above the legal speed limit. Decrease your speed when anything makes conditions less than ideal.

6. Which of the following statements about driving speed is true?

As your speed increases, the chance of a fatality increases.

As your speed increases, so should your following distance.

Both of the above.

As driving speeds increase, the chance of a fatality in the case of a collision increases. If you are going faster than 80 miles per hour, you have almost no chance of living through a crash. The speed you drive affects your stopping distance, so you should increase your following distance as you increase your speed.

7. When you are traveling in a work zone, you should:

Watch for cones, barrels, signs, large vehicles, and workers.

Slow down and obey the posted speed limit.

Follow instructions given by flaggers and signs.

All of the above.

In a work zone, keep an eye out for traffic control devices (such as cones, barrels, or signs), large construction vehicles, and workers. Slow down and obey the posted limit for the work zone. Obey any instructions given by a flagger and posted on signs.

8. Water on the road can cause a vehicle to hydroplane. Your car may hydroplane at speeds as low as:

45 miles per hour.

35 miles per hour.

40 miles per hour.

Hydroplaning occurs when there is standing water on a roadway. At speeds up to 35 mph, most tires will channel water away from the tire. As your speed increases past 35 mph, tires cannot channel the water as well and your tires may start to lose contact with the road and ride over the water like a set of water skis.
