Passing Score 50

51. 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.

52. Drivers may not pass from either side of a ____ centerline.

Combination solid and broken yellow

Single broken yellow

Double solid yellow

Single broken white

A double solid yellow line down the center of a two-way road means that it is prohibited for traffic from either direction to cross the center to pass.

53. When may a driver pass another vehicle by driving on the shoulder?

When the shoulder is paved.

When the car in front is waiting to turn left.

When the car in front is driving under the speed limit.

Never.

Never pass on the shoulder, whether it is paved or not. Other drivers will never expect you to be there and may pull off the road and into your vehicle without looking.

54. What is the only way to reduce your blood alcohol concentration (BAC)?

Drink coffee.

Exercise.

Allow your body time to get rid of the alcohol.

Take a cold shower.

The only method that effectively reduces your BAC is to not drink alcohol for a period of time. Coffee, exercise, and cold showers cannot reduce your BAC or change the effects of alcohol. They can help you remain awake, but they cannot change your BAC or make you sober.

55. Which of the following statements about blind spots is true?

Blind spots are eliminated if you have one outside mirror.

Large trucks have bigger blind spots than most passenger vehicles.

Blind spots can be checked by looking in your rearview mirror.

Even if a vehicle is properly equipped with rearview and outside mirrors, it still has blind spots that cannot be seen in the mirrors. Large trucks have much larger blind spots than most passenger vehicles.

56. You check your blind spots:

By looking in your side mirrors.

By looking in your rearview mirror.

By turning your head and looking over your shoulders.

By staring straight ahead.

Blind spots are areas around your vehicle that you cannot see by using your mirrors. Check your blind spots by turning your head and glancing over your shoulders.

57. The act of turning your head and checking your blind spot before changing lanes, driving away from a curb, or merging your vehicle into traffic is:

A bad driving habit.

A good driving habit.

Unnecessary.

Not necessary if you use the rearview mirror.

When changing lanes, it is important to check your blind spots. Do this by looking over your shoulder toward the next lane. Do not rely only on your mirrors.

58. Drive below the posted speed limit when:

Anything makes conditions less than perfect.

You see a police car.

Entering a highway where there are other cars.

You are on a four-lane road.

When the road is wet or slippery, when you cannot see well, or when anything else makes conditions less than perfect, drive below the posted speed limit. Even if you are driving within the posted speed limit, you can still be ticketed for driving too fast for conditions.

59. When backing up, you should:

Drive much more slowly than usual.

Drive faster than usual.

Your car is much harder to control and stop while you are backing. Back up no faster than a slow walk.

60. If you approach a traffic light with a red signal and a police officer directs you to go through the intersection without stopping, you should:

Stop until the light turns green.

Go through the intersection without stopping.

Come to a complete stop before proceeding.

Instructions given by police officers directing traffic always override posted traffic signals and signs. Follow the officer's instructions.
