1. When changing lanes:

Rely on the rearview mirror.

Look over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move.

Rely on the left side mirror.

When changing lanes, glance over your shoulder to check for traffic in your blind spot. You may need to look several times before changing lanes. You must keep track of what traffic is doing in front of you as well as what traffic is doing in the lane next to you.

2. You should use your horn when:

Another vehicle is in your way.

It may help prevent a collision.

Another driver makes a mistake.

Only use your horn when it is necessary to avoid collisions. Do not use your horn if a driver or bicyclist is moving slowly and you want him or her to drive faster or get out of your way.

3. If weather or light conditions require you to have your lights on while driving:

Use your parking lights.

Use your high beams.

Use your low beams.

Use your low beam headlights when driving in foggy, snowy, or rainy conditions. Light from high beam headlights will reflect back, causing glare and making it even more difficult to see ahead.

4. Which of these statements is true about drugs and driving?

Any prescription drug is safe to use if you don't feel drowsy.

Even over-the-counter drugs can impair your driving.

Only illegal drugs can impair your driving.

Legal prescription and over-the-counter drugs can impair your ability to drive, including drugs taken for colds, hay fever, allergies, or to calm nerves or muscles. It is illegal to drive while under the influence of any drug that impairs your ability to drive safely; this law does not differentiate between illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter drugs.

5. At an intersection with a yield sign, you:

Must yield the right-of-way to cross traffic that is close enough to cause conflict.

Must yield to vehicles only on your right.

Should slow down but never stop.

When approaching a yield sign, drivers must give the right-of-way to traffic already in the lanes that they intend to enter or cross. Drivers should be prepared to stop when approaching a yield sign but may continue without stopping if there is no conflicting traffic.

The distance from road surface to a bridge or overpass.

The maximum legal height of a vehicle allowed in this state.

The maximum width of a vehicle allowed on the highway.

This is a low clearance warning sign. It indicates the distance from the road surface to the bottom of a bridge or overpass (in this case, 12 feet, 6 inches).

7. When changing lanes:

Check your side mirror and look over your shoulder to make sure the lane is clear.

Check the inside rearview mirror.

Slow down.

Before changing lanes, you should check your side mirrors and look over your shoulder to make sure it is safe to proceed.

8. The proper way to make a right turn is to:

Signal, slow down, and get into the lane closest to the centerline before turning.

Signal, slow down, and get into the lane closest to the right curb before turning.

Approach the corner in the lane nearest the right curb, but move over toward the middle of the street before turning.

Before beginning a right turn, use the appropriate signal to give surrounding drivers adequate notice of your intentions. Slow down and approach the intersection from the right lane, staying as close as is practical to the right curb or edge of the roadway.
