Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous.

6. Headlights must be used:

Explanation
You must have your headlights turned on when driving from a half hour after sunset until a half hour before sunrise. Turn on your headlights when driving in lowered-visibility situations.

8. Which statement about making a right turn is true?

Explanation
After yielding to traffic and pedestrians, you may turn right when stopped at a steady red traffic signal, unless posted signs prohibit it. When making a right turn, you should stay close to the right edge of the roadway and turn into the lane nearest to your previous lane.
