Low beams.
High beams.

Explanation ▾

Low beam headlights should be used in fog, rain, and snow. The light from high beams will reflect back to the driver under these weather conditions, causing a glare that will make it difficult to see ahead.

Turn your wheels toward the edge of the road.
Turn your wheels away from the edge of the road.
Keep your wheels facing straight.

Explanation ▾

When parking uphill on a road that does not have a curb, your front wheels should be turned to the right (toward the edge of the road). This will ensure that the vehicle will roll off of the road if the brakes fail.

5.

A broken yellow centerline means that:

Passing is not permitted.
Passing on the right is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

Explanation ▾
