9. A driver does not need to allow as much distance when following a motorcycle as when following a car.

True

False

In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars. Therefore, a driver behind a motorcycle should allow at least three to four seconds of following distance so that the motorcyclist has time to maneuver in an emergency.

10. If you need to slow down while driving on a slippery road, the first thing you should do is:

Firmly apply your brakes.

Take your foot off the gas pedal.

Apply your parking brake.

Pump your brakes.

To slow down on a slippery road, you should first take your foot off the gas pedal. If you need to slow down even more, gently apply a slow, steady pressure to your brake pedal.

11. When driving on wet pavement, it's important to remember:

That pavement is especially slippery right after it starts to rain.

That wet roads can cause hydroplaning.

To give yourself additional space when coming to a stop.

All of the above.

Wet roadway surfaces can be dangerously slick, especially immediately following a rainfall. When you are driving on wet roads, your vehicle is traveling on a thin layer of oil, dirt, and water. Slow down when there is heavy rain, standing water, or slush on the road to reduce the risk of your wheels losing traction on the slick surface.

12. When dealing with pedestrians, a driver must:

Make sure the pedestrian is aware of their vehicle.

Always yield the right-of-way, even if the pedestrian is in the wrong.

Yield the right-of-way only when the pedestrian is legally entitled to it.

Slow down and sound their horn near a crosswalk.

You must do everything you can to prevent striking a pedestrian or another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances. It is the driver’s basic responsibility to be alert to pedestrians and to yield the right-of-way to all pedestrians, even if the pedestrian is crossing the street where they should not be.

13. When driving on an interstate:

Stop on the shoulder of the road if you are tired.

You should always use cruise control.

Signal, check mirrors, and check blind spots before changing lanes.

You should change lanes often.

Signal, check your mirrors, and check your blind spot before changing lanes or passing on an interstate. Only stop on the shoulder of the interstate in the case of an emergency and change lanes as infrequently as possible. Cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or under poor weather conditions.

14. A person who drives much slower than the speed limit:

Is a very safe driver.

Always has the right-of-way.

Should not let following cars pass.

May create a dangerous driving environment.

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.

15. You are approaching a railroad crossing that has no visible gates or flashing lights, but has a standard crossbuck. You should:

Approach all tracks with extreme caution and cross only when you know that there is no train coming.

Turn your radio down to hear if there may be an approaching train.

Only continue once cleared to do so by a flagger, if applicable.

All of the above.

You must approach all railroad crossings with extreme caution and cross only when you know that no train is coming from either direction. If there is a flagger at a crossing, you must obey all of their instructions.

16. What do speed limit signs indicate?

Potential driving speeds for the area

The maximum or minimum speed that is legally allowed to be driven

The speed drivers should drive in heavy traffic

The speed drivers should drive under poor conditions

Speed limit signs indicate the maximum or minimum safe speed that is allowed to be driven on a roadway. The maximum limits are for ideal conditions and you must reduce your speed when conditions require it.
