1. If you are getting tired while driving, you should:

Stop and either get rest or change drivers.

Drink something with caffeine.

Open a window.

To avoid the dangers of fatigued driving, take breaks every hour or so during a long trip. If possible, share driving responsibilities with another person so you can each sleep while the other person drives.

2. When adjusting the driver’s seat for good driving posture, set the seat in an upright position with your body about how far from the steering wheel?

Six to eight inches.

10 to 12 inches.

18 to 24 inches.

Whether or not your vehicle has an airbag, your body should be 10 to 12 inches back from the steering wheel. This will reduce the risk of serious head and neck injuries in the event of a collision.

Flagger ahead.

Turn left at the intersection.

Last turn before a toll road.

Orange is the standard color for work zone activity. If you see orange signs, cones, or barrels while driving, stay alert and be prepared for unexpected driving conditions. This sign alerts drivers to an upcoming flagger whose directions should be obeyed by all drivers.

4. You are merging onto an interstate highway. You should:

Select a safe gap and merge into the lane of traffic.

Merge across two lanes at once.

Always stop before entering the highway.

Anytime you want to merge with other drivers, you need to find a gap large enough for you to safely enter into the flow of traffic. You should not stop on the entrance ramp to an interstate highway unless there are no gaps into which you may safely merge.

5. If you drive more slowly than the flow of traffic, you will most likely:

Interfere with traffic and receive a ticket.

Improve traffic flow.

Demonstrate defensive driving techniques.

You must drive more slowly than usual when there is heavy traffic or bad weather. However, if you block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic by driving too slowly, you may be cited. You should match the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.

6. Construction zone signs are generally:

Square or rectangular with white and red coloring.

Round or octagonal with black and yellow coloring.

Diamond-shaped or rectangular with orange and black coloring.

All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background with black letters or symbols. These signs are found on the right side of the road, or on both the left and right sides if the roadway is a divided highway.

Road construction/maintenance area.

Side road.

Railroad ahead.

Diamond-shaped signs are used to warn of actual or possible hazards. The color orange is used for warning signs usually found in construction or maintenance areas.

8. When stopped at a red traffic light with a green arrow, you may proceed in the direction of the arrow if you:

First come to a complete stop.

Wait until the light changes.

Are in the proper lane and the intersection is clear.

You may proceed in the direction that a green arrow signal is pointing if you are in the proper lane, regardless of any other signals that are displayed. Before turning, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles already within the intersection.
