1. Your following distance should be ____ for every ten miles per hour of your driving speed.

One-half of a car length

One car length

Three car lengths

When driving behind another vehicle, allow at least one car length of space in front of your vehicle for every ten miles per hour of your driving speed. As your driving speed increases, your stopping distance also increases. Allowing space in front of your vehicle will help you to safely stop or maneuver if you encounter an unexpected hazard.

2. You should not use your horn:

When visibility ahead is limited.

If you might hit another vehicle.

Near blind pedestrians.

When driving near a blind pedestrian, using your horn may be dangerous. Yield to the pedestrian and proceed when it is safe to do so.

3. If weather or light conditions require you to have your lights on while driving:

Use your parking lights.

Use your high beams.

Use your low beams.

Use your low beam headlights when driving in foggy, snowy, or rainy conditions. Light from high beam headlights will reflect back, causing glare and making it even more difficult to see ahead.

4. When passing another car, you have enough space to return to the driving lane:

If the other driver signals for you to re-enter the lane.

If you look over your shoulder and see the passed car behind you.

If you can see both of the passed vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror.

Before you return to the driving lane when completing a pass, be sure there is a safe gap between your vehicle and the passed vehicle. When you can see both headlights of the vehicle in your rearview mirror, it is safe to return to the driving lane.

5. When approaching an intersection with a flashing red light, drivers should:

Come to a complete stop before proceeding.

Proceed, as they have the right-of-way.

Slow down but continue through the intersection without stopping.

A flashing red light at an intersection means you must stop completely before proceeding. Treat a flashing red light the same as you would a stop sign.

6. Sudden wind gusts on highways:

Generally affect only the movement of large vehicles.

Only cause visibility problems.

Can cause problems for all vehicles.

While it can create special problems for large vehicles, strong wind can cause problems for all drivers. Wind can lower visibility by blowing dirt and dust into the roadway, but it can sometimes also physically move a vehicle.

7. Where should drivers be particularly alert to children?

School zones and playgrounds

Residential neighborhoods

All of the above locations

You must use extreme caution wherever children are playing or gathering. This means that you must use caution not only around schools and playgrounds, but also in neighborhoods, where children may be playing in the streets.

8. When used on roadways, bicycles are considered:

Hazards.

Vehicles.

Dangerous.

Bicycles are considered vehicles when used on roadways. Bicyclists and motorists are expected to follow the same rules of the road.
