7. If you are convicted of driving with an excessive blood alcohol concentration (BAC), you may be sentenced to serve:

Up to six months in jail.

Up to 12 months in jail.

No jail time, but you must pay a fine of $500.

If you are convicted of DUI for the first time and you have an excessive BAC level, you may be sentenced to serve up to six months in jail and may be required to pay a fine between $390 and $1,000. Your vehicle may be impounded and is subject to storage fees.

8. You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are following a small passenger vehicle.

Are being tailgated by another driver.

Are driving more slowly than the posted speed limit.

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.

9. When parking uphill on a two-way street with no curb, your front wheels should be:

Turned to the left (toward the street).

Turned to the right (away from the street).

Parallel with the pavement.

When parking on a hill (either uphill or downhill) where there is no curb, you should turn your wheels so that the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail.

10. When stopped at a red traffic light with a green arrow, you may proceed in the direction of the arrow if you:

First come to a complete stop.

Wait until the light changes.

Are in the proper lane and the intersection is clear.

You may proceed in the direction that a green arrow signal is pointing if you are in the proper lane, regardless of any other signals that are displayed. Before turning, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles already within the intersection.

11. What is the benefit of a space cushion around your vehicle?

Other drivers can cut in front of you, improving the flow of traffic.

If another driver makes a mistake, you have time to react.

It inflates to protect you from injury in the case of a collision.

Keeping space around your vehicle is important to ensure that you have time to safely react if another driver makes a mistake. For example, extra space around your vehicle may give you time to brake or maneuver out of the way of a vehicle veering into your lane.

12. A flashing yellow traffic signal at an intersection means:

You should treat the signal like a stop sign.

Stop. Yield to all cross traffic before crossing in the intersection.

Slow down and be alert at the upcoming intersection.

A flashing yellow signal means "proceed with caution." You should slow down and be alert before entering the upcoming intersection and must yield to any pedestrians, bicycles, or vehicles in the intersection; however, you do not have to stop.
