13. It is a very windy day. You are driving and a dust storm blows across the freeway, reducing your visibility. You should decrease your speed and turn on your:

Interior lights.

Parking lights.

Headlights.

Drivers must use their headlights any time conditions prevent them from seeing other vehicles. Conditions with lowered visibility include dust, clouds, rain, snow, smoke, or fog on or near the roadway.

14. Which of these statements is true about large trucks?

They take longer to stop than passenger vehicles.

They all have air brakes that allow them to stop quickly.

They are more maneuverable than passenger vehicles.

Large trucks take longer to stop than other vehicles traveling at the same speed. The average passenger vehicle traveling at 55 mph can stop within 400 feet. However, a large truck traveling at the same speed can take almost 800 feet to stop.

15. You want to park downhill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?

Straight ahead

Right, toward the side of the road

Left, toward the center of the road

When parking facing downhill on a road with or without a curb, or when facing uphill on a road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a road with a curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if the brakes fail.

16. When driving behind another vehicle at night, you should:

Keep your headlights on the low beam setting.

Use your high beam headlights until you are within 10 feet of the vehicle ahead.

Use your high beam headlights.

Use high beam headlights only when driving in rural areas and when other cars are not nearby. Lower your headlights to their low beam setting when you are following closely behind another driver.

Traffic signal ahead.

Stop.

Yield the right-of-way.

This sign warns of of an approaching traffic signal.

18. If you drive 55 mph in a 55 mph zone, you can be given a speeding ticket:

Under no circumstances because it is always legal.

If the road or weather conditions require a slower speed.

Only if you are approaching a sharp curve in the road.

California has a "Basic Speed Law," which means that you may never drive faster than would be safe in current conditions. Even if your speed is slower than the posted limit, you may still be cited if you are going too fast for conditions. When deciding how quickly to drive, drivers should take multiple factors into account, such as the speed of surrounding vehicles, the condition of the road surface, the presence of bicyclists and pedestrians, and weather conditions.
