43. “Highway hypnosis” is a driving condition that can result from:

Staring at the roadway for long periods of time.

Frequent rest stops.

Too much sleep the night before your trip.

Short trips on expressways.

"Highway hypnosis” happens when you stare straight ahead at the roadway for long periods of time and stop actively scanning ahead, behind, and around your vehicle. This can lead you to zone out, making you very likely to crash into traffic slowing or stopping ahead of you.

44. How often should drivers check their mirrors for traffic behind them?

Every 45 seconds

Every 20 seconds

Every 10 seconds

Every six to eight seconds

Check your mirrors for traffic behind you every six to eight seconds. It is important to know if someone is following your vehicle too closely or coming up too fast. It is also important to know how much space you have behind your car.

The signal is about to change to a green arrow.

Lane use control signals are used when the direction of the flow of traffic in a specific lane changes throughout the day. They are used to show which lanes of traffic are open and closed, as well as to show if toll booths are open or closed. Drivers should clear the indicated lane when a lane control signal contains a solid yellow X, as the lane signal is about to change to a red X.

47. If you have had several beers, the effects of alcohol will be reduced only by:

Taking a cold shower.

Waiting several hours.

Drinking several cups of coffee.

The only way to remove the impairing effects of alcohol is to give the body time to remove it from the body. Drinking coffee, physical activity, or taking a cold shower will not speed up this process. It takes about one hour to cancel the effects of one drink.

48. The most common mistake that drivers make when backing is failing to look both ways behind them.
