1. If the roadway is wet or icy, you should:

Reduce your speed.

Drive at the posted speed.

Speed up.

Because your tires will not grip the road under wet, snowy, or icy conditions as well as they will under dry conditions, you should slow down if the roadway is wet or icy.

You should stop for other traffic.

Traffic is entering from another road and you should allow additional space for drivers to merge safely into the flow of traffic.

Traffic is entering from another road and you should keep right.

This sign alerts you to the possibility of traffic merging into the main stream of travel. After checking to your side and rear, you should move into another lane, if possible, to allow merging motorists a clear path.

The road to the right is for one-way traffic only.

There is a detour to the right due to road construction.

The road ahead changes direction at an extreme angle.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign tells drivers to slow down and prepare for an abrupt change in direction at an extreme angle.

4. Collisions are more likely to happen when:

All vehicles are traveling at about the same speed.

One lane of traffic is traveling faster than the other lanes.

One vehicle is traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic.

Collisions are more likely to happen when one driver moves faster or slower than the other vehicles on the road. Driving faster than other traffic increases your chance of being involved in a collision. Driving more slowly than other traffic is also dangerous because it can increase the risk of a rear-end collision with your vehicle or cause other drivers to swerve to avoid hitting you.

5. Which of the following substances can affect the ability to drive?

Tranquilizers, marijuana, and sedatives.

Cough syrups and cold tablets containing codeine or antihistamines.

All of the above.

A number of drugs can impair your ability to drive, including depressant medications like tranquilizers and sedatives; over-the-counter cough syrups, cold tablets, and allergy medications (which may contain impairing substances like alcohol, codeine, or antihistamines); and illegal drugs.

6. "No passing zone" signs tell drivers:

To speed up slightly.

That it is not safe to pass.

To maintain a steady speed.

If you come across a "No passing zone" sign, it is not legal to pass in the indicated area. You are likely driving in an area with restricted visibility where it would be unsafe to pass another vehicle.

7. In traffic moving at 50 to 55 mph, you are least likely to have an accident if you:

Drive a few miles per hour faster than most other vehicles.

Stay within that speed range.

Drive a few miles per hour slower than most other vehicles.

You should adjust your speed to travel smoothly with the other traffic on a roadway (provided that the other traffic is driving within the posted speed limits). Remember that vehicles moving in the same direction at the same speed cannot hit each other. Crashes involving multiple vehicles often happen when some vehicles are traveling at different speeds than others.
