1. You want to park downhill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?

Straight ahead

Right, toward the side of the road

Left, toward the center of the road

When parking facing downhill on a road with or without a curb, or when facing uphill on a road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a road with a curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if the brakes fail.

Yield.

Stop.

Warning.

Diamond-shaped signs are used to warn drivers of special conditions or hazards ahead. They are typically yellow or orange in color.

3. A red arrow pointing to the right on a traffic light means you may:

Turn in that direction after slowing and checking for traffic.

Not turn in that direction until the light turns green.

Turn in that direction after you come to a complete stop.

A red arrow means "stop." You must remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears. Do not turn against a red arrow.

4. Which of the following describes the thinking of defensive drivers?

They know other drivers will do the right thing.

They consider what other drivers might do and are prepared to react.

They expect no breaks and give none.

Driving defensively means anticipating potential errors made by others and preparing to compensate for their mistakes.

5. Only ____ can lower blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and reduce alcohol's effects on a body.

Drinking caffeine

Eating foods high in fat

Time

The only way to sober up after drinking alcohol is to allow time for your body to eliminate the alcohol in your system. Nothing you can do, including eating and drinking, can accelerate this process.

6. If you have had several beers, the effects of alcohol will be reduced only by:

Taking a cold shower.

Waiting several hours.

Drinking several cups of coffee.

The only way to remove the impairing effects of alcohol is to give the body time to remove it from the body. Drinking coffee, physical activity, or taking a cold shower will not speed up this process. It takes about one hour to cancel the effects of one drink.

7. There are oncoming vehicles to your left and a row of parked vehicles to your right. You should steer:

Closer to the oncoming vehicles than the parked vehicles.

Closer to the parked vehicles than the oncoming vehicles.

A middle course between the oncoming and parked vehicles.

If there are oncoming vehicles to your left and a row of parked vehicles to your right, the best thing to do is to split the difference. Steer a middle course between the oncoming cars and the parked cars.

8. When driving in fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlights.

Use your parking lights.

Use your low beam headlights.

Drivers should use low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver, making it difficult to see.
