1. Before you change lanes, you should check your mirrors and:

Never look over your right shoulder.

Always slow down in your traffic lane.

Glance over your shoulder.

Before changing lanes, it is very important to check behind you. You should look over your shoulder to ensure that you are not getting in the way of vehicles in the lane you want to enter. Before changing lanes, you should also ensure that no drivers are attempting to drive into the same spot from a different lane.

2. If a child is riding a bicycle near your vehicle:

Beep your horn.

Expect the child to be in total control of the bicycle.

Expect the unexpected.

Children on bicycles are sometimes unpredictable. Young bicyclists are especially likely to make surprising changes in direction. Remember that children and bicycles are both small in stature and may become difficult to see.

3. If you are not the first to arrive at the scene of an accident and your help is not needed, what should you do?

Slow down to calm your nerves.

Stop and look for your own curiosity.

Drive on and not interfere with procedures.

If you are the first person to arrive at the scene of a crash, you should immediately call 911. Otherwise, if you are not professionally trained to render aid, cautiously continue on. This will ensure that you do not interfere with the arrival of emergency services and will prevent you from being the victim of a secondary collision caused by other drivers distracted by the crash scene.

4. What does a traffic signal with a yellow left arrow indicate?

Drivers should prepare to yield to oncoming traffic.

The protected left turn is about to end.

Both of the above.

When a protected turn arrow changes from green to yellow, drivers must prepare to yield to oncoming traffic. A yellow arrow indicates that the protected left turn is ending.

5. 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.

6. You should use your horn when:

Another vehicle is in your way.

It may help prevent a collision.

Another driver makes a mistake.

Only use your horn when it is necessary to avoid collisions. Do not use your horn if a driver or bicyclist is moving slowly and you want him or her to drive faster or get out of your way.
