1. You exit the freeway on a ramp that curves downhill. You should:

Slow to a safe speed before the curve.

Slow to the posted speed limit for the freeway.

Wait until you have entered the curve to begin braking.

You should always slow down before entering a curve. You may not be able to see hazards ahead and braking in a curve may cause your vehicle to skid.

The left lane is reserved for vehicles with a specific number of occupants.

Specific turning movements are allowed from specific lanes.

Do not enter.

Drivers in both lanes are responsible for merging smoothly.

This sign marks a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane. HOV lanes are reserved for use by buses and vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers, as indicated on the sign.

3. What does a flashing yellow traffic light mean?

Merging traffic

Proceed with caution.

Pedestrian crossing

Come to a full stop.

A flashing yellow traffic light indicates that you should drive with caution.

4. Another driver is trying to pass your car. You should:

Pull off the road.

Signal to the other driver when it is safe for them to pass.

Check for oncoming traffic and adjust your speed to allow safe passing.

Speed up.

Keep right when another driver begins to pass you on the left. Check for oncoming traffic and adjust your speed to let the passing vehicle move back into the right lane as easily as possible.

5. To pass on a two-lane road, you should:

Sound your horn as you pass.

Flash your headlights as you pass.

Judge the distance to any oncoming vehicles.

It can be hard to judge the speed of oncoming vehicles. They do not always seem to be coming as fast as they really are. Always be sure you can safely change lanes when passing on a two-lane street. If you are not sure of an oncoming vehicle's speed, wait to pass until the oncoming vehicle has passed and you are sure there is enough space for you to change lanes safely.

6. You should follow which of the following tips when being passed by another driver?

Be on guard so that you can protect yourself from any unsafe actions performed by the other driver.

Maintain your speed and position when being passed.

If the passing car wants to return to your lane, allow them space.

All of the above.

When a driver is passing you, be on guard so that you may protect yourself from any of the other driver's potentially unsafe actions. Maintain your speed and position, unless the other driver must return to your lane because of an oncoming car. Then slow down when they speed up, or speed up if they slow down.

7. When driving in fog or mist, never put your headlights on the high beam setting because:

The light will reflect back into your eyes.

Approaching vehicles might not see you.

Vehicles behind you may follow too closely.

In foggy or misty conditions, you should not use your headlights on their high beam setting because the light will be reflected back into your eyes.

8. Double solid yellow lane markings mean that:

Neither lane may pass.

Both lanes may pass.

The lane to the right may pass.

Yellow lane markings indicate a separation of lanes where traffic is traveling in opposite directions. When you see double solid yellow lane markings, passing is prohibited from both directions.
