Passing Score 24

1. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

2. If your wheels drop off the roadway or pavement edge, you should:

Wait until it is safe to do so, then gradually re-enter the roadway.

Turn back onto the roadway immediately.

Stop.

If your wheels drop off the roadway or pavement edge, do not attempt to turn back onto the roadway immediately. Instead, reduce your speed, check traffic, and gradually turn back onto the roadway when it is safe to do so.

3. Which of the following are factors commonly contributing to traffic crashes?

Exceeding the posted speed limit and driving too fast for conditions or circumstances.

Getting adequate rest and staying alert.

Scanning the environment and staying focused on the driving task.

Driving above the speed limit, driving too far below the speed limit, and driving too fast for conditions are all actions that commonly contribute to traffic accidents. Always drive with the general flow of traffic, within legal speed limits.

4. You are approaching an intersection with a steady yellow traffic light. If you have not already entered the intersection, you should:

Speed up to beat the red light.

Reduce you speed and proceed carefully through the intersection.

Come to a safe stop.

When a steady yellow light appears on a traffic signal, you should prepare to stop. If you are already within the intersection, you should clear the intersection as quickly as possible.

5. Changing from one lane to another is best done:

Quickly and often.

When a car is in your blind spot.

Gradually and carefully.

You should always change lanes gradually and carefully. Only change lanes when necessary. Every lane change increases the possibility of a traffic accident.

6. You are coming to an intersection with a flashing red light. You should:

Slow down and yield the right-of-way.

Slow down and drive carefully through the intersection.

Come to a complete stop, check the traffic, and go when it is safe to do so.

A flashing red traffic light means the same thing as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, yield to other traffic and pedestrians, and then proceed when it safe to do so.

7. When driving in fog, you should:

Slow down and use your low beam headlights.

Slow down and use your high beam headlights.

Turn your lights on and off to warn other drivers.

When driving in fog, you should slow down and use your low beam headlights. If the fog is so bad that you cannot see, pull off the road and wait for the fog to clear.

8. On a freeway, you should look farther ahead than you would on a city street:

In order to see potential hazards early.

Because it takes a quarter of a mile to stop your vehicle completely.

Because it helps you keep up with traffic.

On the freeway, be ready for changes in traffic conditions. Watch for signals from other drivers. Expect merging vehicles at on-ramps and interchanges and be prepared for rapid changes in road conditions and traffic flow.
