1. Alcohol is:

A stimulant.

An antihistamine.

A depressant.

Alcohol is a depressant that dulls your judgment and makes your reflexes unreliable.

2. If a child is about to run into the street, you should:

Start to prepare to slow down.

Flash your headlights.

Sound a sharp blast of your horn.

If there is danger, you may need to sound a sharp blast on your horn. Do this when a child or any other pedestrian is about to enter into the street in front of your moving vehicle.

3. You are approaching an intersection when the traffic light changes from green to solid yellow. You should:

Consider it the same as a caution sign and continue through the intersection.

Stop immediately.

Stop before entering the intersection, unless you are too close to stop safely.

Speed up to get through the intersection before the red light appears.

When approaching an intersection with a solid yellow traffic light, slow to a stop before entering the intersection, if it is safe to do so. If you can't stop safely, drive carefully through the intersection.

4. A fully loaded tractor-trailer traveling at 55 mph could take up to ____ to come to a complete stop.

50 feet

125 feet

400 feet

750 feet

Tractor-trailers take longer distances to stop than smaller cars traveling at the same speed. A fully loaded tractor-trailer may take almost 400 feet to come to a complete stop when driving at 55 mph.

5. You are driving along a street and hear a siren. You cannot immediately see the emergency vehicle. You should:

Keep driving until you see the vehicle.

Pull to the curb and look to see if it is on your street.

Slow down. Don't stop until you see it.

Speed up and turn at the next intersection.

If you hear a siren or an air horn close by but do not know exactly where the emergency vehicle is, safely pull over to the right side of the road and stop until you are sure it is not headed toward you.

6. An approaching driver fails to dim their high beam headlights. Where should you look?

At the wheels of the approaching vehicle.

Toward the right side of the road.

Toward the left side of the road.

Straight down the middle of the road.

If an approaching driver fails to dim their high beams, glance toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and will allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course until the other vehicle has passed.

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.
