1. Compared to driving during the day, driving at night is:

Less dangerous.

No more or less dangerous.

More dangerous.

Easier on your eyes.

Driving at night is more dangerous than driving during the day for several reasons. It is harder to see in the dark, you may be temporarily blinded by the glare from other vehicles' lights, and there are likely to be more drivers on the road who are tired or under the influence.

2. If traffic signals at an intersection are not functioning due to a power outage:

Park your vehicle as far off the road as possible and wait for power to be restored.

Use hand signals to indicate your intentions to other drivers.

Turn on your hazard lights and proceed through the intersection without stopping.

Treat the intersection as a four-way stop.

If a traffic light at an intersection is not functioning due to a power outage, yield to other drivers in the same manner as you would when approaching a four-way stop. When it is your turn, proceed through the intersection with caution.

3. If your car breaks down on a highway, you should:

Sit in your car and wait for help.

Use your four-way flashers to warn other drivers.

Sound your horn at passing motorists.

Flash your headlights at oncoming traffic.

If your vehicle breaks down on the highway, you should signal before carefully exiting the roadway and turning on your hazard flashers. Get as far off the road as possible and park in a location where other drivers can easily see you. Lift your hood to let other drivers know your vehicle is disabled.

4. What color are pavement markings that separate traffic lanes moving in opposite direction?

Yellow

White

Yellow and white

Yellow, white, and black

Yellow lines are used in the center of the road to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

Only a recommended driving speed.

The exact speed at which you must travel to avoid a ticket.

The maximum safe driving speed under ideal road and weather conditions.

The maximum safe driving speed under all road conditions.

A speed limit sign shows the maximum legal driving speed for the stretch of highway where it is posted. Driving safely may require you to travel more slowly than the posted limit. When conditions are less than ideal, drivers should slow down.

6. When driving under snowy or icy conditions, it is safe to use your cruise control as long as your speed is reduced.

True

False

You should not use cruise control when driving on snowy or icy roads. Your tires may lose contact with the road and you will no longer have control of your vehicle.

7. To be safe when crossing a railroad, you should:

Look both ways, but only when the red light is flashing.

Listen, look both ways, and then proceed if it is safe to do so.

Cross especially quickly when a train is approaching.

Quickly pass under any lowering gates.

Railroad crossings are always dangerous. Drivers should look and listen for an approaching train coming from either direction before proceeding across the tracks. Watch for signals indicating an approaching train and never proceed until you are certain it is safe to do so.
