19. Seat belts are most effective when they are worn by:

The person driving the car.

Passengers when they are on a long drive.

All occupants of a car being driven on an expressway.

All occupants of a car every time the car is driven.

When you drive, make sure each person in your vehicle wears a seat belt. In the event of a crash, a person without a seat belt becomes a flying object and a danger to each person in the vehicle.

20. If two drivers arrive at the same time to an open intersection:

The driver on the right has the right-of-way.

The driver on the left has the right-of-way.

One driver may continue driving without stopping.

One driver should honk to indicate that they are giving up the right-of-way.

If you arrive to an open intersection at the same time as a vehicle to your right, you should yield the right-of-way to that vehicle. You may then proceed when it is safe to do so.

21. You want to back out of your driveway. You see children playing nearby. Before you start to move your car, you should:

Rev your engine to warn the children that you are moving.

Sound your horn so the children will hear you.

Walk to the back of the car to be sure the way is clear.

Tell the children to stay away from the driveway.

When you back up a vehicle, look through your back window for pedestrians and other obstacles. Do not rely only on your mirrors, especially when children are near. Before you back into or out of a driveway, get out of the vehicle and check behind your vehicle.

22. When getting ready to change lanes, you should:

Check your side view mirror.

Check your rearview mirror.

Quickly turn your head to check for other vehicles.

All of the above.

Before changing lanes, check your side and rearview mirrors for traffic approaching you from behind. Just before you begin moving into the other lane, quickly glance over your shoulder and check for any vehicles that may be in your blind spot.

23. You are approaching a railroad crossing that has no visible gates or flashing lights, but has a standard crossbuck. You should:

Approach all tracks with extreme caution and cross only when you know that there is no train coming.

Turn your radio down to hear if there may be an approaching train.

Only continue once cleared to do so by a flagger, if applicable.

All of the above.

You must approach all railroad crossings with extreme caution and cross only when you know that no train is coming from either direction. If there is a flagger at a crossing, you must obey all of their instructions.

Cars in right lane must slow down.

No left turn.

Merge.

Pass only in the right lane.

This sign indicates a merge ahead. It warns that two lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are about to become one.

25. If you drink alcohol socially, what helps ensure safe driving?

Drink coffee before driving.

Ride home with a friend who has not been drinking.

Take a cold shower before driving.

Stop drinking one half hour before driving.

One strategy to avoid driving while impaired or intoxicated is to arrange for a ride home with a friend who does not drink. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower cannot reduce your blood alcohol content or reduce the effects of alcohol. On average, it takes about an hour for the body to eliminate the alcohol from a single drink.
