25. If it is necessary to make an emergency stop while driving on an interstate, you should:

Sound your horn at passing cars to get their attention.

Get out of your vehicle and flag down the first vehicle that passes.

Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers, and stay in your vehicle, if you can.

If you must stop on the shoulder of the interstate or highway, turn on your emergency flashers to warn other drivers and stay inside your vehicle, if you can. The extremely high speed of traffic makes standing or walking along an interstate highway very dangerous.

26. If you stop at a railroad crossing with more than one track:

Wait to proceed until you have a clear view of all tracks.

Stop on the first railroad track and watch for another train.

Go through as soon as the train passes.

Go through when one of the tracks is free.

If you are stopped at a railroad crossing with more than one track, do not start moving as soon as a train passes. Wait until you have a clear view down all tracks before you start across. Even where there is only one track, do not start across immediately after a train passes; check again for another train that may be approaching.

27. The first thing that alcohol effects is:

Vision.

Judgment.

Balance.

Alcohol reduces all of the important abilities you need to drive safely. Alcohol goes from your stomach to your blood, then from your blood to all other parts of your body. Alcohol affects the areas of your brain that control judgment and skill.

28. You are stopped in a line of vehicles waiting at a stop sign. If there is no cross traffic after the vehicles ahead have passed through the intersection, you:

May proceed through the intersection without stopping again.

Must stop again at the stop sign or stop line before proceeding.

May slowly roll past the stop sign.

May follow the vehicle directly ahead of you without stopping.

You must always bring your vehicle to a complete stop and yield to approaching traffic before proceeding past a stop sign. Don't feel pressured by surrounding traffic to avoid making a complete stop.

29. In rainy weather, you should be most careful when turning or stopping:

After it has been raining all day.

One half hour after it stops raining.

During the first half hour of rain.

You should be extra careful when turning and stopping during the first half hour of rain. At this point, the oil from cars has not yet washed off the pavement and could be forming a slippery mixture with the rain.

30. How can you help prevent rear-end collisions?

Avoid sudden stops.

Before stopping, check your mirrors and blind spots for traffic.

Release the gas pedal and let your vehicle slow before applying the brakes.

All of the above.

Stopping suddenly can make it difficult for drivers behind you to avoid a rear-end collision. When stopping, release the accelerator to allow your vehicle to slow. Press the brake pedal by applying steady pressure, activating your brake lights and causing the vehicle to stop smoothly.
