1. Roads are slippery after it first starts to rain. When the road is slippery, you should:

Avoid making turns and stops while driving at high speeds.

Test your tires' traction while going uphill.

Decrease the distance you look ahead of your vehicle.

A wet, slippery road does not allow your tires the traction they need, so it is necessary to drive more slowly on a wet road than you would on a dry road. To reduce the risk of skidding, you should avoid fast turns or stops.

2. If you have an argument with another person and you are angry, you should:

Loudly play the radio while driving so you won’t think about your argument.

Take a few minutes to cool off before driving.

Drive on the interstate to let off steam.

Your emotions affect your ability to drive safely. If you are overly angry, excited, afraid, worried, or depressed, you should give yourself time to calm down before operating a vehicle. You need to be able to mentally focus on driving without thinking about the things that made you upset.

3. A broken yellow centerline indicates that:

Passing is not permitted.

Passing on the right is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

Passing on the left is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

A broken yellow centerline next to your side of the road indicates that traffic may cross the centerline to pass from your side of the road.

4. If you see orange construction signs and cones on a freeway, you must:

Slow down because the lane ends ahead.

Be prepared for workers and equipment ahead.

Change lanes and maintain your current speed.

As you enter a work zone, signs and message boards will warn you of workers, slow-moving equipment, and/or closed lanes ahead. You should reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop.

5. What is an important step in turning?

Check traffic in all directions.

Increase your speed.

Always move to the left lane.

When turning, you should look to the rear and both sides of your vehicle to ensure it is safe to proceed before making the turn. Adjust your speed to safely complete the turn.

6. To be able to turn quickly, your hands must be:

On opposite sides of the steering wheel.

Next to each other on the top of the steering wheel.

On the top and bottom of the steering wheel.

Both hands should be placed on opposite sides of the steering wheel. This position is comfortable and promotes safe turning on high-speed roadways.

7. When you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights, you must:

Maintain your speed and stay in your lane until the vehicle has passed.

Move into the right lane and drive slowly until the vehicle has passed.

Pull over to the curb or edge of the road and stop until the vehicle has passed.

If you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights, pull over to the right edge of the road and stop. Position yourself parallel to the curb. On one-way streets, drive toward the road edge nearest you.
