1. A red flashing traffic light has the same meaning as a:

Solid red light.

Stop sign.

Yield sign.

Caution sign.

A red flashing traffic signal has the same meaning as a stop sign. When approaching a red flashing signal, come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so. A stop sign may sometimes also be posted where this signal is located.

2. When approaching a railroad crossing warning sign:

Be ready to drive faster than the train.

Be prepared to stop if a train is nearby.

Look for a way around any lowered gates.

Assume no trains are nearby and continue driving normally.

Railroad crossing warning signs are used to warn drivers of the possibility of a train. Drivers should obey all railroad crossing warning signs and never go around barriers or disregard the warning sign.

3. What is the only way to reduce your blood alcohol concentration (BAC)?

Drink coffee.

Exercise.

Allow your body time to get rid of the alcohol.

Take a cold shower.

The only method that effectively reduces your BAC is to not drink alcohol for a period of time. Coffee, exercise, and cold showers cannot reduce your BAC or change the effects of alcohol. They can help you remain awake, but they cannot change your BAC or make you sober.

There is an object on the roadway.

Traffic is coming from the right.

The road is curving sharply to the left.

There is a merge point ahead.

Chevron signs like this indicate that the road curves sharply in the direction indicated by the chevron (in this case, to the left). There may be several chevron signs placed throughout a curve.

5. What are the colors of warning signs indicating upcoming hazards?

Black letters or symbols on a white background

Black letters or symbols on a yellow background

White letters or symbols on a blue background

White letters or symbols on a green background

Warning signs that indicate approaching hazards are usually yellow with black lettering or symbols. Warning signs in work zones are orange with black lettering or symbols.

6. Your tire blows out while you are driving. You should:

Slam on your brakes.

Hold your steering wheel tightly and slow to a stop.

Keep driving normally.

Turn on your emergency flashers and continue driving.

If you experience a tire blowout, do not immediately apply the brakes. Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer to remain in your traffic lane. Reduce your speed gradually by releasing the accelerator and staying off the brakes. Once you are moving very slowly, apply the brakes lightly and pull off the road into a safe area.

7. What does a single dashed white line separating traffic mean?

Drivers may pass, even if it could be dangerous.

Lanes move in opposite directions.

Drivers may not pass.

Drivers may pass if it is safe to do so.

White lines separate lanes of traffic that are moving in the same direction. Dashed white lines may be crossed to pass or change lanes, if it is safe to do so.

8. When a vehicle with an Anti-Lock Braking System starts to lose traction on a slippery road, drivers should:

Pump the brakes.

Press and hold the brake pedal.

Press and hold the gas pedal.

Lightly tap the brakes.

If their vehicle loses traction on a slippery road, a driver with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) needs to press down hard on the brake pedal, hold it, and steer out of danger. In an emergency situation, the ABS automatically pumps the brakes at a faster rate than the driver could. Removing steady pressure from the brake pedal or pumping the brakes will disengage the ABS.
