1. The best way to avoid a dangerous situation while driving is to:

Know what is happening around your vehicle.

Turn off the radio.

Always keep your eyes focused ahead of your car.

Always be aware of what is happening around your vehicle. Constantly observing your surroundings to the front, sides, and rear of your vehicle will help you see problems that may require you to change speed or roadway position.

2. If a transit vehicle is signaling to re-enter the main roadway following a stop, you must:

Honk to let them know you’re there.

Move to the left lane.

Yield.

Speed up to pass.

You must yield to any transit vehicle that is signaling to pull back onto the main roadway after it has stopped to load or unload passengers. Change lanes, slow down, or stop to allow the bus safe re-entry into traffic.

3. If you are being followed too closely on a two-lane road:

Reduce your speed slowly to encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Speed up to increase the distance between you and the other car.

Apply your brakes to slow down, then resume your original speed.

If you are being followed too closely by another driver, merge into a different lane. If there is no lane available for merging, wait until the road ahead is clear and slowly reduce your speed. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Heavy traffic ahead.

Do not enter.

Railroad crossing.

Yield.

This sign means that it is not safe for drivers to enter the indicated road or driveway from their current direction. If you come across one of these signs, you should immediately turn around and drive a different way.

5. If you are driving near a large commercial vehicle, you should:

Follow the large vehicle closely to reduce wind drag on your vehicle.

Avoid driving beside it for long stretches of time.

Drive on its right side when on curves and hills.

Because large commercial vehicles have large blind spots on each side, you should avoid driving beside them for long periods of time.

6. Which of the following statements is true?

A sudden change in weather calls for a change in driving.

You should slow down when driving in rain and fog.

Be particularly aware of vehicles coming up behind you in inclement weather.

All of the above.

If the weather changes suddenly, you will need to adjust your driving to adapt. Always slow down when driving in rainy or foggy conditions. Be especially aware of vehicles behind you that may be going too fast for conditions.

7. You are driving on a road with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction. You should:

Drive in any lane.

Drive in the left lane, except to pass.

Drive in the right lane, except to pass.

On a multilane highway, slower traffic should travel in the right lane. Use the left lane to pass slower-moving traffic.

8. You may drive around or under a gate that is being lowered or raised at a railroad crossing:

As long as an approaching train is not too close.

If your vehicle can do so without damaging the gate.

If you first look carefully in both directions.

Under no circumstances.

Flashing red lights, lowered crossing gates, and/or bells at a railroad crossing mean that you must come to a complete stop. You must not go across the tracks until the lights and bells have stopped and the crossing gates are completely up. Do not drive around or under a gate that is moving up or down.
