9. 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.

10. When should you yield your legal right-of-way?

Often, even at controlled intersections.

Whenever it helps prevent collisions.

Never. It confuses other drivers.

Never assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way. Yield your right-of-way whenever it helps prevent collisions.

11. Hydroplaning occurs when tires ride on a thin film of water instead of on the surface of the road. To prevent hydroplaning in rainy weather, you should:

Put on your cruise control to maintain a constant speed.

Decrease your speed.

Move to the shoulder of the road as soon as it starts to rain.

In rainy weather, you should lower your speed to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Driving too fast may cause your tires to ride up on the water and lose contact with the surface of the road, making it very difficult to control your vehicle.

12. Vehicles are required to be covered by liability insurance:

Only when used on an interstate.

Only when operated by a minor.

At all times.

South Dakota state law requires all vehicles to be properly registered and insured at all times. Drivers must keep proof of responsibility in the vehicle.

13. You are driving on the freeway behind a large truck. You should drive:

Closer behind the truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle.

Farther behind the truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle.

To the right side of the truck and wait to pass.

It is necessary to follow farther behind a large truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle because trucks have larger blind spots.

14. Check your rearview mirrors:

Often to see how traffic is moving behind you.

To see if a vehicle is in your blind spot.

Only when you are slowing down.

When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so you know the positions of vehicles near you.

You are about to enter a one-way street from the wrong direction.

U-turns are prohibited.

You may proceed if the way is clear.

This sign marks a one-way road, entrance, or exit. If you are facing this sign, traffic is coming toward you. Turn around if you are driving toward this sign.

16. To improve visibility lowered by rain or fog, drivers should use their:

Low beam headlights.

High beam headlights.

Parking lights.

Low beam headlights should be used when driving in rainy or foggy weather. Even if they do little to help you see, low beams will make it easier for others to see you.
