33. Which is not a factor in determining the distance that it takes to stop your vehicle?

Steering ability

Braking distance

Reaction distance

Perception time

The distance required to stop your vehicle depends on perception time, reaction distance, and braking distance. This changes with speed and road conditions.

Driving with your headlights out of alignment because one side of your car is higher than the other.

Damaging a tire from drifting onto the shoulder.

Hydroplaning, if the shoulder has water on it.

Losing control of the vehicle if you drift onto the shoulder.

This sign indicates that the shoulder is lower than the road in the area ahead. If you drift off of the roadway and one wheel drops onto a low shoulder, do not slam on the brakes or steer sharply to try to get back onto the roadway. This could easily cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

35. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Slow down and wait until there is no traffic approaching, then pass the bicyclist while leaving him or her sufficient space.

Continue driving straight. It is the bicyclist’s responsibility to get out of your way.

Do not pass the bicyclist until you come to a traffic signal or stop sign.

Honk at the bicyclist to let him or her know you are about to pass.

You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

36. You are driving when it begins to rain. You should:

Drive faster than surrounding traffic.

Drive at the maximum posted speed limit.

Slow down.

Drive closely behind the vehicle in front of you.

When heavy rain reduces visibility, reduce your speed. Turn on your headlights so other drivers can see your vehicle. If the rain is so heavy that you are unable to see clearly, drive onto the shoulder and stop until the rain lets up.

37. Night driving can be more difficult than driving during the day because:

Cars overheat more quickly at night.

Visibility is reduced in the dark.

It is more likely to be raining at night.

You are more likely to encounter a motorcycle at night.

At night, your field of vision is reduced. To make sure you are able to react to hazards on the roadway, always use appropriate headlights. Drive slowly enough that you are able to stop within the distance that you can see ahead.

Warns you about conditions on or near the road.

Helps direct you to cities and towns ahead.

Tells you about traffic laws and regulations.

Tells you about road construction ahead.

Warning signs, which tell you about conditions on or near the road ahead, are usually diamond-shaped with black symbols or words on a yellow background.

39. When approached by an emergency vehicle that is using its siren and/or flashing lights, a driver must immediately:

Pull to the right and stop.

Pull to the right and slow down.

Pull to the right and turn on their vehicle's four-way flashers.

Stop and let the emergency vehicle pass.

When you are approached by an emergency vehicle that is using its lights, sirens, and/or other warning devices, you must immediately drive to the right side of the road and stop.

40. A driver should be extra alert to motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians because:

They’re difficult to see in traffic.

They obey different traffic laws than larger motor vehicles.

They always have the right-of-way.

They don’t have rearview mirrors.

In many collisions with motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians, drivers reported that they were looking but still did not see the smaller vehicle or pedestrian. These can be more difficult to spot in traffic than passenger vehicles because they are smaller, may move faster, and have less noticeable lighting. To prevent collisions with these smaller and less protected road users, drivers should always be alert to the presence of motorcycles, bikes, and pedestrians.
