9. As you approach the top of a hill, you should:

Speed up slightly.

Prepare to stop, if needed.

Maintain a steady speed.

You may not know what is on the other side of a hill or just around a curve, even if you have driven the road many times. If a vehicle is stalled just out of sight on the roadway, you must be able to stop. Whenever you come to a hill or curve, adjust your speed so you can stop if necessary.

10. At many intersections, a right turn may be made while the traffic light is red. Before turning right on red:

Slow down and proceed without stopping, if the way is clear.

Come to a complete stop, look both ways, and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and other traffic.

Increase your speed because you have the right-of-way.

Unless otherwise posted, traffic stopped at a red signal may turn right. You must come to a complete stop before the crosswalk and yield to all pedestrians and cross traffic before beginning your turn.

11. When driving at night, you should:

Always use your high beams.

Look directly at the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.

Increase your following distance.

Driving at night is more hazardous than daytime driving because the lowered visibility makes it difficult to judge speed, distances, and other potential hazards. Increase your following distance to help prevent a potential collision if the vehicle in front of you should stop abruptly. Use your headlights when driving at night, following the rules for proper usage of high beams and low beams.

12. You should allow an extra cushion of space:

When following a station wagon.

When following a driver who cannot see the rear of their vehicle.

When following a small passenger car.

Drivers of trucks, buses, vans, or any vehicles pulling campers or trailers may not be able to see you if you are driving directly behind them. Increase your following distance when driving behind one of these vehicles. Additionally, large vehicles can block your view of the road, so increase your following distance to look around the sides of the vehicle and see the road ahead.

13. On a green arrow, you must:

Yield to any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian in the intersection.

Yield to pedestrians only in the intersection.

Wait four seconds before proceeding.

A green arrow means "go." You must turn in the direction the arrow is pointing after you yield to any vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians who are still in the intersection.

14. Drivers may not pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing.

True

False

When approaching a school bus that is using its flashing red lights, you must stop before you reach the bus and remain stopped until the flashing lights are turned off. On a two-way multilane roadway with a median or shared center lane, vehicles on the opposite side of the road from the school bus do not have to stop.

15. Which of the following blocks the smooth flow of traffic?

Slowing down to look at collision scene.

Avoiding unnecessary lane changes.

Using public transportation instead of your vehicle.

Rubbernecking (the practice of slowing down to look at collisions or other out-of-the-ordinary things) contributes to traffic congestion and should be avoided.

16. When turning left at an intersection:

You should always yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Oncoming traffic and pedestrians should yield to you.

You should never yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
