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.

Explanation ▾

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.

10.

When passing on the left of a vehicle, it is safe to move back into the right lane:

After about three seconds.
When you can no longer see the vehicle over your right shoulder.
When you can see the front of the vehicle in your rearview mirror.

Explanation ▾

When passing another vehicle on its left, you may move back into the right lane when the headlights of the passed vehicle can be seen in your rearview mirror. Always signal before changing lanes.

11.

A steady yellow traffic signal light is a warning that the light is about to change to red. If you are already within the intersection when a green light changes to yellow, you should:

Stop.
Continue moving and clear the intersection safely.
Increase your speed so as not to cause an accident.

Explanation ▾

If you are already within an intersection when the traffic light turns yellow, you should clear the intersection as quickly as possible.

12.

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.

Explanation ▾

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.

13.

When driving in fog, rain, or snow, use:

Low beams.
High beams.
Fog lights only.

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.

14.

The law states that upon the conviction of a DUI, when the violator has not previously been convicted of a DUI, the penalty will be:

A $100 fine, 24 hours in jail, and a six-month revocation.
A $500 fine, 12 hours in jail, and a three-month revocation.
A $350 fine, 48 hours in jail, and a one-year revocation.

Explanation ▾

A DUI conviction, when the violator has not previously been convicted of a DUI, is punishable by a 48-hour jail sentence (or seven days in jail for driving with a BAC of 0.20 percent or more), a fine of between $350 and $1,500, and a one-year license revocation.

15.

Make room for cars that are entering the freeway by:

Slowing down.
Merging into a different lane.
Maintaining your speed and position.

Explanation ▾

Make room for vehicles that are entering a freeway. If possible, merge into the next lane to create a gap for the incoming vehicles. If you cannot merge, adjust your speed to allow for the vehicles to enter traffic as smoothly and safely as possible.

16.

Sudden wind gusts on highways:

Generally affect only the movement of large vehicles.
Only cause visibility problems.
Can cause problems for all vehicles.

Explanation ▾

While it can create special problems for large vehicles, strong wind can cause problems for all drivers. Wind can lower visibility by blowing dirt and dust into the roadway, but it can sometimes also physically move a vehicle.
