1. What are the colors of warning signs indicating upcoming hazards?

Black letters or symbols on a white background

Black letters or symbols on a yellow background

White letters or symbols on a blue background

Warning signs that indicate approaching hazards are usually yellow with black lettering or symbols. Warning signs in work zones are orange with black lettering or symbols.

2. When you want to make a right turn, your car must be:

Near the center of the street.

Close to the left side of the street.

Close to the right side of the street.

Past the center of the intersection when you begin to turn.

As you prepare to make a right turn, you should get as far to the right side of the road as possible. Do not cut across lanes of traffic to perform any turn.

3. When approaching a flashing red traffic light, drivers should:

Drive through the intersection if there is no crossing traffic.

Continue driving, as they have the right-of-way.

Stop if a police officer is nearby.

Treat the light like a stop sign.

Flashing red lights are used at dangerous intersections. Treat them like stop signs.

4. If you need to pass behind a tractor-trailer that is backing up, you should:

Pass quickly.

Wait for the truck to stop backing up before you begin passing.

Honk to let the driver know you are passing.

Assume that the driver can see you.

Large vehicles have large blind spots to the rear. If you are behind a large vehicle, it is very likely that the driver does not know you are there. Because of this, if you need to pass behind a large vehicle that is backing up, it is always the safest option to wait for the truck's backup maneuver to finish before you pass.

5. Drinking alcohol and driving is:

A minor traffic safety problem.

A serious traffic safety problem.

Safe if you have only had a few drinks.

Only dangerous to the driver who drinks.

Driving while impaired or intoxicated is a serious traffic safety problem. Safe driving is not possible when you drink alcohol or take other drugs. Driving under the influence is dangerous both to you and to others on the road.

6. You may pass a vehicle when:

You are on a hill or curve.

You are on a road with a solid line next to your lane.

You are on a road with a broken line next to your lane.

A single broken line indicates that drivers may cross from either lane to change lanes. Dashed yellow lines alongside solid yellow lines indicate that passing is permitted from the lane next to the broken line, but not from the lane next to the solid line. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so.

7. Which statement about speed is true?

Driving too slowly on certain highways can be dangerous.

Speeding can kill.

Speeding is not dangerous if you are a skilled driver.

Both "Driving too slowly on certain highways can be dangerous" and "Speeding can kill."

As speed increases, the chance of a fatality increases. If you are moving faster than 80 miles per hour, you have almost no chance of living through a crash. Driving more slowly than other traffic can also be dangerous because other motorists may become impatient and make dangerous moves to pass you.
