19. When parking your vehicle on any hill:

One of your rear wheels should touch the curb.

Use your parking brake and leave the vehicle in "park."

Your front wheels should be parallel to the road, if there is no curb.

When parking on a hill, you should always leave your vehicle in gear or in the "park" position. If there is no curb, you should turn your front wheels so that the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail. If there is a curb, the front wheels should be turned toward it (if headed downhill) or away from and gently touching it (if headed uphill).

20. It is more dangerous to drive at night than during the day because:

You cannot see as far ahead at night.

The road is always more slippery at night.

Your reaction time is slower at night.

With decreased visibility and the glare of oncoming headlights, you cannot see as far ahead at night as you can during the day. Always use headlights and exercise caution when driving in the dark.

21. 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.

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.

22. Large trucks turning onto a street with two lanes in each direction:

May complete the turn in either of the two lanes.

Often have to use the left lane to complete the turn.

Must stay in the right lane at all times while turning.

Large trucks must often swing wide to complete a right turn. A truck making a right turn may initially appear to be turning left because of the need to swing wide. When behind a turning truck, you should pay attention to the truck's turn signal to be aware of which way the trucker actually intends to turn.

23. You should not start across an intersection if you know you will block the intersection when the light turns red:

Under any circumstances.

Unless you entered the intersection on a yellow light.

Unless you entered the intersection on a green light.

Even if the signal is green, you must not enter an intersection unless you can get completely across before the light turns red. If you block the intersection, you can be cited.

24. When turning left at an intersection:

You should always yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Oncoming traffic and pedestrians should yield to you.

You should never yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

When turning left at an intersection, yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. Once the intersection is clear and applicable signals allow, you may complete the turn.
