15. If a flagger is directing traffic in a construction zone, you must:

Follow the directions given by the flagger.

Copy what surrounding traffic is doing, despite the flagger's instructions.

Assume the flagger is not supposed to be directing traffic.

Follow the laws that would be in place if the area was not under construction.

Be prepared to reduce your speed and use caution when directed to do so by a sign, flagger, or law enforcement officer. Failure to do so is illegal and is dangerous to those working in construction zones.

16. The most common color of warning signs is:

Red.

Yellow.

Green.

Blue.

Most warning signs are diamond-shaped and yellow with black markings. These signs warn drivers about unexpected conditions that may not be readily apparent.

17. Defensive driving is:

Driving aggressively.

Using safe driving strategies to prevent crashes.

Driving against the traffic.

More dangerous than not driving defensively.

Defensive driving is using safe driving strategies to prevent crashes. Driving defensively means that you are altering your driving to fit the weather conditions, the way you feel, and the actions of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

18. 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.

19. Worn or bald tires:

Can make turning more difficult.

Are likely to hydroplane.

Can increase your stopping distance.

All of the above.

Worn or bald tires can increase your stopping distance and make turning more difficult. Tires without adequate tread also increase the risk of hydroplaning.

20. An approaching driver fails to dim their high beam headlights. Where should you look?

At the wheels of the approaching vehicle.

Toward the right side of the road.

Toward the left side of the road.

Straight down the middle of the road.

If an approaching driver fails to dim their high beams, glance toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and will allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course until the other vehicle has passed.

The road ahead turns sharply right, then left.

The road ahead turns sharply left, then right.

The road ahead curves to the left.

Construction ahead.

This sign indicates that the road ahead will turn sharply to the right and then to the left.
