9. If your vehicle begins to skid, you should:

Ease up on the gas pedal.

Brake as hard as possible.

Turn off the ignition.

If your vehicle begins to skid, release the accelerator or brake pedal to regain vehicle balance. Steer in the direction of the skid to regain control of the vehicle.

10. It is unsafe for a child under the age of ____ to ride in the front seat of a passenger vehicle.

Children under the age of 13 should ride buckled up in a rear seat, in an appropriate child safety seat, or a seat belt. For best protection, they should not ride in the front seat near the airbag.

11. A driver who has been drinking is more likely to:

Yield right-of-way to emergency vehicles.

Keep a three to four second following distance.

Have a slower reaction time.

Even though Maryland’s legal limit for drunk driving is a 0.08 percent BAC, a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle may be impaired at a much lower BAC level and may still result in criminal charges. For example, an individual’s vision, ability to perform simple motor functions, and reaction time may be affected by just one drink and can increase the risk of a collision.

12. When is it legal to drive faster than the posted speed limit?

Never.

If you feel it is reasonable and prudent.

If you are passing another vehicle.

Drive according to the posted maximum speed limit. You may drive more slowly than the posted speed limit, based on road conditions, but it is illegal to drive any faster than the posted speed limit.

13. You are approaching an intersection at the posted speed limit when the signal turns yellow. You should:

Slow down and proceed through the intersection without caution.

Speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red.

Stop before entering the intersection, if you can do so safely.

A solid yellow light means "caution" and signals that the light will soon turn red. You should stop at a solid yellow light if you can do so safely; otherwise, you should cautiously cross the intersection.

14. Which of these statements is true about changing lanes?

You only need to turn and look over your right shoulder for lane changes to the right or left.

Look over your right shoulder for a right lane change and your left shoulder for a left lane change.

Vehicles with two outside mirrors do not have blind spots.

Before changing lanes, signal, look in all your mirrors, and look over your left or right shoulder to make sure the lane next to you is clear. Looking over your shoulder is a way to check your blind spot to be sure there is no vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle traffic in the next lane.

Trucks under 18,000 pounds are allowed.

Hill ahead.

Truck stop ahead.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign indicates that there is a steep hill ahead. Slow down and be ready to shift to a lower gear to control your speed and protect your brakes from damage.

16. To avoid glare from the headlights of an approaching car:

Look briefly toward the right side of the road.

Stay focused on the centerline on the road.

Flash your high beams.

You should avoid looking toward the bright lights of an oncoming vehicle by glancing toward the right side of the road. After looking briefly toward the side of the road, continue looking ahead to check on the position of the other vehicle.
