Passing Score 28

1. If you must park your vehicle in an area not usually used for parking:

Park with your reverse lights on.

Make sure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.

Park five feet from the curb.

Drivers are responsible for making sure their vehicles do not become hazards after they have been parked. Wherever you park, make sure your car is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.

2. When passing another vehicle, it is safe to return to your lane if you:

Cannot see the vehicle directly to your right.

See the vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror.

Have passed the other vehicle’s front bumper.

Before returning to your original lane after passing, you must make sure you are not dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. When you can see both of the vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to the lane.

3. It is legal to go faster than the speed limit when passing another vehicle.

True

False

It is always unlawful to exceed the posted speed limit, even when passing another vehicle.

4. Which statement about speed is true?

Driving too slowly on certain highways can be dangerous.

Speeding can kill.

Speeding is not dangerous if you are a skilled driver.

Both "Driving too slowly on certain highways can be dangerous" and "Speeding can kill."

As speed increases, the chance of a fatality increases. If you are moving faster than 80 miles per hour, you have almost no chance of living through a crash. Driving more slowly than other traffic can also be dangerous because other motorists may become impatient and make dangerous moves to pass you.

5. Drivers may not pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing.

True

False

When approaching a school bus that is using its flashing red lights, you must stop before you reach the bus and remain stopped until the flashing lights are turned off. On a two-way multilane roadway with a median or shared center lane, vehicles on the opposite side of the road from the school bus do not have to stop.

6. You are involved in an accident and another person is injured. You should:

Moved the injured away from the scene immediately.

Always leave the injured where they are.

Not move the injured unnecessarily. Keep the injured warm and administer first aid.

Stay away from the injured.

After an accident, do not move the injured unnecessarily. Unskilled handling can make serious injuries out of minor ones. Keep the injured warm until skilled help arrives. If there is severe bleeding, attempt to stop the flow of blood with direct pressure.

7. If you miss your exit on the freeway, you should not:

Continue on the freeway and find an alternate route to your destination.

Proceed to the next exit, leave the freeway, and return to your proper exit.

Back up on the road or shoulder.

If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up in the travel lane or on the shoulder. Continue to drive to the next exit or crossroad. Drivers do not expect a vehicle to be backing toward them on the roadway and doing so will likely cause a collision.

8. A driver who is taking a non-prescription drug should:

Read the labels on the drug before driving.

Drink alcohol instead.

Continue to drive regardless of any warning labels.

Drive only during daylight hours.

Many over-the-counter medications can affect your ability to drive safely. If you take medication, even a remedy for colds or allergies that is not prescribed, check the label for warnings about its effects. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist about driving while on the medication.
