1. 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.

2. It is best to keep a space cushion:

Only in back of your vehicle.

Only on the left and right sides of your vehicle.

Only in front of the vehicle.

On all sides of the vehicle.

To ensure that you will have time to react to hazards on the roadway, it is best to keep a cushion of space on all sides of your vehicle. Do not crowd vehicles to your left and right sides.

3. To reduce the effects of headlight glare at night, you should look:

Straight ahead.

Over your shoulder.

At the center of the road

To the right edge of the road.

If oncoming drivers do not dim their headlights for you, keep your eyes on the right side of the road ahead. Do not look directly at the oncoming headlights because the glare may blind you for several seconds.

4. 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.

5. While driving, you come upon a sign displaying the words “Reduced speed, 35 mph." This means:

That the new 35 mph speed limit begins at this sign.

That the new 35 mph speed limit begins at the next speed limit sign.

That you have plenty of time to slow down before the reduced speed zone.

That you should reduce your speed to 35 mph, but only under poor weather conditions.

"Reduced speed" signs inform drivers that they must reduce their speeds. If a new speed limit is posted on one of these signs, the new speed limit begins at the sign.

6. If you are driving near a motorcycle, you must:

Allow the motorcycle to use a complete lane.

Drive on the shoulder beside the motorcycle.

Allow the motorcycle to use only half of a lane.

Pass using the same lane as the motorcycle.

A motorcycle is a full-size vehicle with the same privileges as any other vehicle on the roadway. You should allow a motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem as though there is enough room in the traffic lane for a larger vehicle and a motorcycle, remember that the motorcycle needs room to maneuver safely.
