1. A school bus is stopped ahead of you in your lane with its red lights flashing. You should:

Stop and proceed when you think all of the children have exited the bus.

Slow to 25 mph and pass cautiously.

Stop for as long as the red lights are flashing.

When a stopped school bus is using its flashing red lights, approaching drivers must stop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing. If the school bus is on the opposite side of a divided highway, drivers do not need to stop.

Slow down and prepare to stop if cars are approaching you.

Come to a full stop then proceed when it is safe to do so.

Proceed carefully through the intersection, not always stopping.

An octagonal sign always means stop. When approaching a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop at the marked stop line and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If there is no stop line, stop before the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, stop before the intersection at a point from which you can see any oncoming traffic.

3. The best thing to do if you become tired while driving is to:

Stop to rest or change drivers.

Drink coffee.

Open a window.

If you become tired while driving, it is best to stop to rest or change drivers. Being tired dulls your mind and slows down your reactions, making driving hazardous.

4. Tailgating other drivers (driving too closely to their rear bumper):

Can frustrate other drivers and make them angry.

Cannot result in a traffic citation.

Reduces collisions by preventing being "cut off."

Tailgating is a common behavior that can lead to aggressive driving, and so it should be avoided. Drivers may face legal consequences for driving unsafely.

Pedestrian crossing.

School crossing.

Jogging trail.

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 tells drivers to be alert to crossing pedestrians.

6. Which of the following road surfaces freezes first?

A tunnel

An intersection

A bridge

Pavement on bridges and overpasses can become icy even when other surrounding pavement is dry. Bridges often freeze before, and thaw out after, the rest of a road.

7. If your vehicle has a two-part safety belt system, you should:

Use only the lap belt.

Use both the lap and shoulder belts.

Use only the shoulder belt.

If your vehicle has a two-part seat belt system, be sure to wear both the lap belt and the shoulder belt. Wearing either part alone greatly reduces your protection. If you have an automatic shoulder belt, be sure to buckle your lap belt as well.

8. You should yield to a pedestrian:

Only if they are in a crosswalk.

At all times, even if the pedestrian is not obeying traffic laws.

Only if the traffic lights are in the pedestrian's favor.

Always be aware of pedestrians near your vehicle. You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian, regardless of the circumstances.
