1.

This sign means:

Side road.
Merge.
Yield the right-of-way.

Explanation ▾

This sign indicates that there is an intersection with a side road ahead.

2.

What is the appropriate action to take when approaching a railroad crossing that does not have signals to direct traffic?

Always bring the car to a complete stop.
Slow down and be prepared to stop.
All railroad crossings have signals so you will never encounter this situation.
Increase your speed to get across the tracks quickly.

Explanation ▾

When approaching an unmarked railroad crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop. Before you cross, be sure that no trains are approaching from either direction on any track. If you see or hear a train coming, stop at a safe distance from the nearest track and wait to proceed until after the train passes.

3.

When meeting a car with blinding headlights, you should:

Use your bright lights until the other vehicle dims theirs.
Flash your lights on and off to warn the other driver.
Dim your lights and then speed up to pass quickly.
Look toward the right side of the road.

Explanation ▾

If a vehicle comes toward you with its high beams on, look away from the headlights and toward the right side of the road until the car has passed. This will keep you from being blinded.

4.

At dawn or dusk and in rain or snow, it can be hard to see and be seen. A good way to let other drivers know you are there is to turn:

Up the instrumental panel lights.
On your parking lights.
On your headlights.

Explanation ▾

You must use your headlights at any time when conditions prevent you from seeing other vehicles and when it may be difficult for other drivers to see you. Always use your low beam headlights if weather conditions require you to use your windshield wipers.

5.

This sign means:

A left curve is ahead.
A series of curves is ahead.
An S-curve is ahead.
The road will be slippery when wet.

Explanation ▾

This sign warns that especially slippery conditions exist when the road is wet.

6.

Hydroplaning occurs when tires ride on a thin film of water instead of on the road. To prevent hydroplaning in wet weather, you should:

Put on your cruise control to maintain a constant speed.
Slow down.
Move to the shoulder of the road as soon as it starts to rain.

Explanation ▾

Hydroplaning is caused by driving too fast on a wet road. Slow down when driving on wet pavement to prevent hydroplaning.

7.

What may help drivers conserve gasoline?

Sitting in their driveways with their cars running.
Accelerating quickly.
Slowing down gradually.
Braking abruptly.

Explanation ▾

Every time you have to stop quickly, it takes time and fuel to accelerate and get your vehicle back up to the speed of traffic. Drivers who look far ahead of their vehicles can slow down gradually or change lanes to avoid unnecessary braking, leading to better gas mileage.
