1. When you hear a fire engine siren behind you, you must:

Slow down until it passes you.

Drive with your flashers on.

Pull over to the side of the road and stop.

Speed up and take the nearest exit.

When you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle, you must pull over to the curb or side of the road and stop.

2. Taking drugs along with alcohol:

Increases the risk of causing a crash.

Is no more dangerous than consuming alcohol by itself.

Lessens the effect of alcohol on your ability to drive.

Has no effect on your general driving ability.

Drugs (including illegal, prescription, and over-the-counter medications) can affect your brain function and impair your ability to drive safely. Combining alcohol with other drugs will increase the risk of a crash.

3. You may honk your horn when you:

Have to stop quickly.

Are passing another car.

Have lost control of your car.

Are passing a bicyclist.

One situation where it is appropriate to use your horn is if you lose control of your vehicle. In this case, sound your horn to alert other drivers.

4. When encountering an aggressive driver, you should:

Avoid eye contact, slow down, and let them pass.

Cut them off to slow them down.

Retaliate by tailgating them.

Make sure they know you disapprove of their behavior.

If another driver is threatening you or intentionally driving dangerously around you, remain calm and try to put as much distance between the two of you as possible. Slow down and let them pass. Do not make eye contact and do not make obscene gestures.

5. As a pedestrian, you should:

Always insist on the right-of-way over a vehicle when using a crosswalk.

Never enter a street or crosswalk when vehicles are approaching.

Enter a crosswalk at any time because it is the vehicle driver’s responsibility to stop.

Use crosswalks only if they are convenient.

Pedestrians should not enter a street or crosswalk when vehicles are approaching. Though pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks, a vehicle approaching from a close distance may not have the time to stop before entering the crosswalk.

6. When faced with an oncoming car to the left and a bicyclist to the right, you should:

Pull onto the shoulder.

Split the difference.

Let the car pass and then pass the bike.

Pass the bike quickly.

When there is more than one potential hazard on the road, you should ensure that you only have to deal with one of them at a time. For example, when there is a bicyclist on the right that you want to pass and an oncoming car to the left, you should not try to squeeze between both at the same time. Instead, let the oncoming car pass, and then pass the bicyclist.
