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. Dim your high beam headlights when you are within ____ of an oncoming vehicle.

200 feet

400 feet

500 feet

300 feet

The glare of headlights from oncoming vehicles can cause the pupil of the eye to contract, restricting visibility. To protect other drivers when driving at night, change your headlights to their low beam setting within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle.

16. While backing, you should:

Rely only on your mirrors.

Flash your lights.

Open your door to see if it is safe to proceed.

Turn your head and look through the rear window.

When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.

17. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Slow down and wait until there is no traffic approaching, then pass the bicyclist while leaving him or her sufficient space.

Continue driving straight. It is the bicyclist’s responsibility to get out of your way.

Do not pass the bicyclist until you come to a traffic signal or stop sign.

Honk at the bicyclist to let him or her know you are about to pass.

You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

18. Slow down, yield, and be prepared to stop for pedestrians:

Only if a traffic light is yellow or red.

As they are crossing or walking on the roadway.

Only if they are in marked crosswalks.

Only if they are crossing the roadway.

Slow down, yield, and be prepared to stop when approaching pedestrians who are walking on or crossing the roadway. Always yield to pedestrians on the roadway, even if they are not following right-of-way laws.

Lanes are moving in opposite directions and drivers are not permitted to pass.

Lanes are moving in opposite directions and drivers are permitted to pass when it is safe to do so.

Lanes are moving in the same direction and drivers are permitted to pass when it is safe to do so.

White lines are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction. Solid lines indicate that drivers are not permitted to pass.

20. In a vehicle not equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), you should pump your brakes to slow down because:

It keeps air out of the brake line.

It prevents skids.

It prevents tires from going bald.
