17. Which of the following are factors commonly contributing to traffic crashes?

Exceeding the posted speed limit and driving too fast for conditions or circumstances.

Getting adequate rest and staying alert.

Scanning the environment and staying focused on the driving task.

Driving above the speed limit, driving too far below the speed limit, and driving too fast for conditions are all actions that commonly contribute to traffic accidents. Always drive with the general flow of traffic, within legal speed limits.

18. Extra space in front of a large truck is needed for:

Other drivers to merge onto the freeway.

The truck driver to stop the vehicle.

Other drivers when they want to slow down.

Because they are larger, trucks take longer to stop than cars traveling at the same speed. Other drivers should not pull in front of a truck and then slow down or stop.

19. After passing a vehicle, it is safe to return to your driving lane when:

The driver you passed signals for you to return to your lane.

You signal your intention for three seconds.

You see the headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

Before you return to your driving lane, be sure you are not dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. One way to do this is to look for the vehicle in your inside rearview mirror. When you can see both headlights in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to your driving lane.

20. Night driving presents unique problems because:

The speed limit is increased at night.

There are fewer cars on the roads at night.

Distance and vehicle speed are difficult to judge in the dark.

Night driving creates a unique set of problems for drivers. Due to the reduced visibility, it can be difficult to judge distance and the traveling speeds of other vehicles when driving at night. Drivers can see only as far as their headlights allow.

21. You reach an intersection with stop signs on all four corners at the same time as the driver on your left. Who has the right-of-way?

The driver on your left has the right-of-way.

You have the right-of-way.

Whoever is signaling to make a turn has the right-of-way.

If two vehicles arrive at the same time to an intersection that has stop signs on all corners, the vehicle to the right has the right-of-way.

22. Handicap parking spaces are available:

To anyone, but only if all other spaces are occupied.

Only to drivers with the appropriate license plate or hanging tag.

To people who are not feeling well.

Reserved handicap parking spaces should be used only by persons with a disability as defined under state law. To park in a handicap parking space, you must have either the appropriate license plate or designated hang tag displaying the international symbol.

23. To avoid hydroplaning while driving in rainy conditions, you should:

Drive at a speed appropriate for ideal conditions.

Apply your brakes as soon as your car starts to skid.

Slow down.

When driving too quickly in wet conditions, your tires may lose all contact with the road surface. Loss of traction will cause the vehicle to ride on top of the water, which is called "hydroplaning." The best way to prevent this from happening is to drive more slowly in rainy or wet conditions than you would when driving during ideal weather conditions.

24. When may you drive on the shoulder of the road?

Only when told to do so by an official.

When the car in front of you is driving too slowly.

When the car in front of you is turning.

If you pass on the right, do so only when conditions permit you to do so legally and safely. You may only drive on the shoulder of a road if an official has directed you to do so.

25. You can drive off the road to pass another vehicle:

If the vehicle ahead is turning left.

If there are two or more lanes traveling in your direction.

Under no circumstances.

You may never drive off the paved or main-traveled portion of the road and onto the shoulder to pass another vehicle.
