9. If you have the right-of-way at an intersection, you should:

Assume other drivers will follow right-of-way laws.

Check for traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists before moving forward.

Immediately move through the intersection.

Wave other drivers ahead of you.

After stopping at an intersection, take the extra time to check for cross traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians before proceeding. It is recommended that you look left, then right, then left again before entering an intersection. Yield your legal right-of-way any time it can prevent a collision.

10. You should use your horn:

Whenever it may help prevent a collision.

To get other drivers moving in a traffic jam.

When you're angry with another driver.

If you are saying hello to a fellow driver.

Drivers cannot see you unless they are looking your way. Your horn may get their attention. Use it whenever it will help prevent a collision.

11. When changing lanes you should not:

Check your side and rearview mirrors.

Give a turn signal to signal your intentions.

Check for other drivers who may be moving into the same lane as you.

Use your cell phone to contact the police to determine if the road ahead is clear.

Before changing lanes, check your side and rearview mirrors for traffic approaching you from behind. Use your turn signal to let other drivers know you plan to change lanes. Check for other drivers who also may be moving into the same lane.

12. Streets and highways are most slippery:

When it has been raining hard for several hours.

When they are clean and dry.

Just after it starts to rain.

Driving during the first half hour of rainfall is dangerous because roadways become extremely slippery when the water mixes with oil and other chemicals on the road surfaces that have not yet washed away. Use extra caution when driving on slippery roads.

13. Which medications could negatively affect your driving ability?

Any medication

Only headache medicines

Only diet pills

Only prescription medications

Any medication could potentially affect your ability to drive. Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist about the effects your prescription may have on driving. Read the labels on over-the-counter medications to determine if their side effects can impair your driving.

14. If your turn signals fail, you should use ____ to indicate that you are turning.

Your horn

Your headlights

Hand signals

Your emergency flashers

If your vehicle's turn signals do not work, you should use hand signals to indicate when you intend to change direction.

15. What happens if you drink alcohol while taking prescription or over-the-counter medicine?

The medicine reduces the effect of the alcohol.

The alcohol will help the medicine cure a cold.

The combination could multiply the effects of the alcohol or medicine.

There is no effect because they are different substances.

Consuming alcohol and other drugs together can increase the impairing effects of both. For example, having one drink while you are also using a cold remedy could affect you as much as several drinks would when being consumed separately from any medications.

16. There are two traffic lanes moving in your direction. You are driving in the left lane and many vehicles are passing you on the right. If the driver behind you wishes to drive faster, you should:

Stay in your lane so you don't impede the flow of traffic.

Drive onto the left shoulder to let the other vehicles pass.

Move into the right lane when it is safe.

To drive quickly, pass, or turn left, use the left lane. Use the right lane when driving more slowly than surrounding traffic, entering the road, or turning right.
