1. 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.

2. It is important to be alert to motorcycles because:

They are more difficult to see than cars.

They rarely use their headlights.

Motorcyclists are less skilled drivers than other motorists.

All of the above.

Motorcycles are smaller and harder to see than cars. Because of their size, they are easily hidden in a car’s blind spot. It may be difficult to judge your distance to a motorcycle and difficult to tell how fast a motorcycle is moving, so always be alert and extra cautious when near a motorcyclist.

3. An inattentive driver is a driver who:

Stares at objects off the roadway or daydreams while driving.

Maintains eye contact during a conversation with a passenger while driving.

Only watches the vehicle ahead of their vehicle.

All of the above.

Do not become distracted by looking at passengers, attempting to find something in your vehicle, looking at reading material, sightseeing, or daydreaming while driving. Continue scanning the road, checking your mirrors, and looking at the instrument panel at regular intervals. Developing these safe habits will keep you attentive as a driver.

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. When approaching a school bus that is stopped with its lights flashing, you must stop:

Within 50 feet of the bus.

Within 40 feet of the bus.

Within 30 feet of the bus.

Before reaching the bus.

On all highways, public streets, private roads, or driveways, traffic coming from both directions must stop before reaching a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing.
