1. The amount of alcohol in the blood is referred to as:

Implied consent (IC).

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC).

Rate of alcohol consumption (RAC).

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in the blood. The higher the BAC number, the more impaired a person is.

2. When driving in fog or mist, never put your headlights on the high beam setting because:

The light will reflect back into your eyes.

Approaching vehicles might not see you.

Vehicles behind you may follow too closely.

In foggy or misty conditions, you should not use your headlights on their high beam setting because the light will be reflected back into your eyes.

You are approaching the end of a divided highway.

You are approaching the beginning of a divided highway.

The road will be slippery ahead.

This sign indicates that a divided highway begins ahead. Keep to the right of the median divider.

4. Any amount of alcohol in the blood may affect a driver's:

Right-of-way privileges.

Judgment and physical coordination.

Knowledge.

A driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle may be impaired at any BAC level, even a level lower than the legal limit. Any amount of alcohol can affect one’s judgment and physical coordination. Driving under the influence of even a small amount of alcohol can lead to criminal charges.

5. You should drive on the shoulder to pass a car:

If the vehicle ahead of you is turning left.

Under no circumstances.

If the shoulder is wide enough.

Passing on the right is permissible only if it is possible to do so without driving off the roadway. Never pass another vehicle on the shoulder because the other driver will not expect you to be there and may pull off the road.

6. If you have had several beers, the effects of alcohol will be reduced only by:

Taking a cold shower.

Waiting several hours.

Drinking several cups of coffee.

The only way to remove the impairing effects of alcohol is to give the body time to remove it from the body. Drinking coffee, physical activity, or taking a cold shower will not speed up this process. It takes about one hour to cancel the effects of one drink.

7. You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

8. If you see orange construction signs and cones on a freeway, you must:

Slow down because the lane ends ahead.

Be prepared for workers and equipment ahead.

Change lanes and maintain your current speed.

As you enter a work zone, signs and message boards will warn you of workers, slow-moving equipment, and/or closed lanes ahead. You should reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop.
