Number of Question 25

Passing Score 20

17. A solid yellow line on your side of the centerline means:

Slow down.

Pass with caution.

Do not pass.

Keep right on hills.

A solid yellow line next to your lane means that passing is not permitted from your direction.

18. After being pulled over by law enforcement, a driver should immediately exit the vehicle and quickly approach the officer’s squad car.

True

False

If stopped by law enforcement, you should stay in your vehicle with both hands clearly in sight on the steering wheel.

19. If a child is riding a bicycle near your vehicle:

Beep your horn.

Expect the child to be in total control of the bicycle.

Expect the unexpected.

Children on bicycles are sometimes unpredictable. Young bicyclists are especially likely to make surprising changes in direction. Remember that children and bicycles are both small in stature and may become difficult to see.

20. The best way to avoid loss of control under wet conditions is to increase your vehicle's speed.

True

False

As you drive on a wet road, your tires may start to ride up on the surface of water, causing you to lose control of your vehicle. This is called hydroplaning. The best way to avoid hydroplaning is to lower your speed when driving under wet conditions.

21. “Highway hypnosis” is a driving condition that can result from:

Staring at the roadway for long periods of time.

Frequent rest stops.

Too much sleep the night before your trip.

Short trips on expressways.

"Highway hypnosis” happens when you stare straight ahead at the roadway for long periods of time and stop actively scanning ahead, behind, and around your vehicle. This can lead you to zone out, making you very likely to crash into traffic slowing or stopping ahead of you.

22. Which of these statements is true about roadwork zones?

Fines are the same for violations committed in work zones as they are under normal traffic conditions.

You must "Slow for the Cone Zone."

Slow down only if you think workers are present.

Reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop for highway equipment. Driving carefully through work zones improves safety for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and road workers.

23. If you are getting tired while driving, you should:

Stop and either get rest or change drivers.

Drink something with caffeine.

Open a window.

To avoid the dangers of fatigued driving, take breaks every hour or so during a long trip. If possible, share driving responsibilities with another person so you can each sleep while the other person drives.

24. You must yield to a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog:

Only when the guide dog is leading the person across the street.

At all times.

Only if a crossing guard is present.

Pedestrians who use guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given the right-of-way at all times.

Slow down if an emergency vehicle is approaching.

Look both ways as you cross the intersection.

Always come to a full stop at the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.

Decrease your speed as you approach an intersection with a yield sign. Prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians in the intersection or crossroad. You must come to a full stop at a yield sign if traffic conditions require it.
