17. If the rear of your vehicle is skidding to the left, you should:

Not turn your steering wheel.

Turn your steering wheel to the left to correct the skid.

Turn your steering wheel to the right to correct the skid.

If you begin to skid on a wet or icy road, take your foot off the accelerator, stay off the brakes, and turn your steering wheel in the direction of the skid. However, if you have anti-lock brakes, you should apply your brakes firmly and steer straight ahead.

18. If your vehicle starts to lose traction because of water on the road, you should:

Drive at a constant speed to gain better traction.

Apply the brakes firmly to prevent your vehicle from sliding.

Slow down gradually and not apply the brakes.

When driving in heavy rain at speeds as low as 30 mph, your tires may lose all contact with the road and instead ride up on a layer of water above the surface of the road. This is called "hydroplaning." If your vehicle starts to hydroplane, slow down gradually and do not apply the brakes.

19. When entering a highway from an entrance ramp, you should generally:

Enter above the speed of traffic to get ahead.

Enter slowly to avoid other vehicles.

Stop first, then slowly enter traffic.

Accelerate to the speed of traffic.

Entrance ramps for highways often have acceleration lanes. When merging with traffic from an acceleration lane, you should put your signal on, look for an opening in traffic, accelerate up to the speed of traffic, and merge into an opening in traffic.

You are approaching the end of a divided highway.

You are approaching the beginning of a divided highway.

The road will be slippery ahead.

This sign indicates that a divided highway begins ahead. Keep to the right of the median divider.

21. A flashing red traffic light at an intersection means:

Stop and wait for the green light.

Slow down and proceed with caution.

Stop and yield the right-of-way.

If you approach a flashing red light, treat it the same as you would a stop sign. Come to a complete stop, yield the right-of-way when necessary, and proceed when it is safe to do so.

22. Which of the following statements about driving speed is true?

As your speed increases, the chance of a fatality increases.

As your speed increases, so should your following distance.

Both of the above.

As driving speeds increase, the chance of a fatality in the case of a collision increases. If you are going faster than 80 miles per hour, you have almost no chance of living through a crash. The speed you drive affects your stopping distance, so you should increase your following distance as you increase your speed.

23. It is unlawful to:

Pass another vehicle in any marked no passing zone.

Pass another vehicle over a railroad crossing.

Both of the above.

It is illegal to cross the centerline to pass when driving on hills, in curves, and in other locations where you cannot see ahead far enough to pass safely. You may not pass at street crossings, at railroad crossings, where signs indicate no passing zones, or where a solid yellow line is next to your lane. You may not pass when the vehicle in front of you has stopped for a pedestrian or when driving in work zones where passing would be hazardous.

No U-turn.

Traffic signal ahead.

Railroad ahead.

This sign indicates that U-turns are prohibited.
