A distraction when driving is anything that takes your attention away from driving. Driver distractions may occur anytime and anywhere. Distracted driving can cause collisions, resulting in property damage, injury, and death.

Divided highway.

Railroad warning.

No passing zone.

This sign indicates that a divided highway begins ahead.

19. Drivers are required to obey instructions from:

Security guards patrolling parking lots.

Other drivers whose vehicles are broken down on the roadway.

Flaggers (signal persons) at construction sites.

Drivers must obey special signs or instructions given by flaggers. They are in place to keep drivers and workers safe.

20. If you are driving and the rear end of your car starts skidding to the left, you should:

Steer to the right.

Steer to the left.

Tap your brakes lightly and shift into neutral.

If your vehicle enters a skid, you should take your foot off of the brake and steer in the direction that you want to go. For example, if the rear of your vehicle is skidding to the left, you should steer to the left. This will help bring the front of the vehicle in line with the rear, thereby straightening out the vehicle's overall direction.

21. 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.

22. It is dangerous to follow a motorcycle too closely because:

They do not follow the same rules as motor vehicles.

A motorcycle can stop much faster than a standard vehicle.

They brake more slowly than motor vehicles.

Motorcycles can stop quickly and following them too closely endangers your life and that of the motorcyclist. If the motorcyclist makes a mistake, you need to have enough time and space to avoid a crash.

23. When a pedestrian guided by a dog or carrying a white cane is crossing the street:

You must always yield the right-of-way.

You must tell them where to cross the street.

You only have to yield the right-of-way if you are at a corner.

Blind or partially blind pedestrians may carry a white cane or use the assistance of a guide dog. You must always yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian who is using a guide dog or carrying a white cane.

24. When driving on a slippery surface, such as snow or ice:

Shift to a low gear before going down steep hills.

Maintain traction by following other vehicles closely.

Pump your brakes to keep them from freezing.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, you should shift to a low gear before going down a steep hill. You should also follow farther behind the vehicle in front of you than you normally would. Quick stops should be avoided. Unless you have antilock brakes, pump the brakes to slow or stop.
