A flashing red light means that you must stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians, and go only when it is safe. At a railroad crossing, a flashing red light indicates that a train is approaching. Yield to the train, and go only when the lights have stopped flashing and all other active warning devices deactivate.

13. When passing other vehicles:

Explanation
The $500 uninsured motorist fee does not not provide insurance coverage. It simply allows you to register and operate the vehicle in Virginia for a one-year period.

16. An approaching driver fails to dim their high beam headlights. Where should you look?

Explanation
If an approaching driver fails to dim their high beams, glance toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and will allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course until the other vehicle has passed.
