1. Sudden wind gusts on highways:

Generally affect only the movement of large vehicles.

Only cause visibility problems.

Can cause problems for all vehicles.

While it can create special problems for large vehicles, strong wind can cause problems for all drivers. Wind can lower visibility by blowing dirt and dust into the roadway, but it can sometimes also physically move a vehicle.

2. 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.

3. When merging onto the freeway, you should be driving:

At or near the speed of the freeway traffic.

At the legal speed limit.

More slowly than the freeway traffic.

You should enter a freeway at or near the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.

The road ahead curves right. Slow down to the safe speed indicated.

Divided highway begins. Slow down to the safe speed indicated.

Merge. Slow down to the safe speed indicated.

Winding road ahead. Slow down to the safe speed indicated.

These signs indicate that the road curves to the right ahead and that drivers should slow down to the safe speed indicated (in this case, 35 mph).

5. Which of the following statements is true?

Driving too slowly is not an unsafe practice.

Driving too slowly on certain highways can be dangerous.

The speed at which you drive a vehicle does not affect safety.

Driving too slowly can be dangerous because it may cause drivers behind you to become frustrated and make dangerous moves to pass you. It is safest to drive with the flow of traffic, within the legal speed limit.

6. If you are driving near a motorcycle, you must:

Allow the motorcycle to use a complete lane.

Drive on the shoulder beside the motorcycle.

Allow the motorcycle to use only half of a lane.

Pass using the same lane as the motorcycle.

A motorcycle is a full-size vehicle with the same privileges as any other vehicle on the roadway. You should allow a motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem as though there is enough room in the traffic lane for a larger vehicle and a motorcycle, remember that the motorcycle needs room to maneuver safely.

7. You are driving on a narrow road when you meet an oncoming vehicle. You must:

Pull completely off the road and stop.

Allow the oncoming vehicle at least one-half of the main-traveled portion of the road.

Demand the other vehicle pull over to make room.

Turn on your high beam headlights to make sure the other vehicle sees you.

On narrow roads, you must allow vehicles traveling in the opposite direction at least one-half of the main-traveled portion of the road. Both vehicles must have adequate space in order for the drivers to safely pass one another.

8. If you have to back up a vehicle on a two-lane road, you should:

Be sure the way is clear before backing.

Turn your head back before and while backing.

Stop, using the proper hand signal to communicate stopping if you see another vehicle approaching from the rear.

All of the above.

Always turn your head to check behind your vehicle before and while backing up. Be sure the way is clear of other traffic before moving.
