17. This sign means:

You should stop for other traffic.

Traffic is entering from another road and you should allow additional space for drivers to merge safely into the flow of traffic.

Traffic is entering from another road and you should keep right.

This sign alerts you to the possibility of traffic merging into the main stream of travel. After checking to your side and rear, you should move into another lane, if possible, to allow merging motorists a clear path.

18. What is a crosswalk?

Another name for a four-way intersection.

An area designated for road construction workers.

The area where pedestrians may cross the roadway.

Pedestrian crosswalks are often shown by white, solid lines to emphasize pedestrian crossing points. Crosswalks may have additional lines between the white, solid lines or in place of the parallel lines. However, crosswalks may also be unmarked.

19. What is the only medically proven method of removing alcohol or other drug combinations from your system?

Breathe in some fresh air.

Give your body time.

Drink coffee.

Alcohol takes effect quickly and is slow to leave your system. Cold showers, black coffee, and exercise will do nothing to reduce a person's blood alcohol content (BAC). The only way to lower your BAC is to wait.

20. A driver should:

Stare directly in front of their car.

Only focus on the middle of the road.

Watch beside, ahead, and to the rear of their car.

A driver should watch beside, ahead, and to the rear of their car. To be a good driver, you must know what is happening all around your vehicle.

21. 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.

22. You want to make a right turn at the corner. A pedestrian with a guide dog is at the corner ready to cross the street in front of you. Before making your right turn, you should:

Turn off your engine until the person crosses the street.

Tell the pedestrian when to cross the street.

Wait until the person crosses the street.

Pedestrians using guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given the right-of-way at all times.

23. Before switching on the ignition, you should:

Buckle your safety belt.

Be sure all passengers have buckled their safety belts.

Both of the above.

Develop a routine for entering and leaving your car. Before switching on the ignition, buckle your safety belt and see that all passengers do likewise.

24. If it is necessary to make an emergency stop while driving on an interstate, you should:

Sound your horn at passing cars to get their attention.

Get out of your vehicle and flag down the first vehicle that passes.

Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers, and stay in your vehicle, if you can.

If you must stop on the shoulder of the interstate or highway, turn on your emergency flashers to warn other drivers and stay inside your vehicle, if you can. The extremely high speed of traffic makes standing or walking along an interstate highway very dangerous.

25. You must obey instructions from school crossing guards:

At all times.

Only during school hours.

Unless you do not see any children present.

Drivers should be alert to the presence of crossing guards when near a school and must always obey their instructions.
