If the other driver signals for you to re-enter the lane.

If you look over your shoulder and see the passed car behind you.

If you can see both of the passed vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror.

Before you return to the driving lane when completing a pass, be sure there is a safe gap between your vehicle and the passed vehicle. When you can see both headlights of the vehicle in your rearview mirror, it is safe to return to the driving lane.

18. When are drivers required to use their headlights?

One half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise

During the day in clear weather

When they are tired

Headlights must be used from one half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise. They must also be used at any other time when visibility is less than 200 feet.

Steep grade ahead.

The road ahead winds with a series of turns or curves.

Slippery when wet.

Warning signs provide notice to road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers to be careful when driving under wet conditions as the pavement will become slippery and more difficult to navigate safely.

20. Which of these statements is true about drinking alcohol and driving?

If you can walk in a straight line after drinking, it is safe to drive.

If you are under the legal blood alcohol concentration limit, your driving isn't impaired.

Alcohol affects judgement, which is needed to drive safely.

Being under the influence of alcohol affects your judgment. Good judgement is necessary to react appropriately to things that you see or hear while on the road. Even if you are below the legal blood alcohol limit, consuming any amount of alcohol is likely to affect your ability to drive safely.

21. The amount of alcohol in the blood is referred to as:

Implied consent (IC).

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC).

Rate of alcohol consumption (RAC).

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in the blood. The higher the BAC number, the more impaired a person is.

22. If you approach a stopped school bus that has its lights flashing and signal arm extended, you should:

Stop.

Proceed at 15 mph if no children are present.

Proceed at normal speed, but watch for children.

If you approach a stopped school bus that has its lights flashing and arm extended, you must come to a full stop and remain stopped until the signal arm is pulled back and the bus resumes motion. This law applies whether you are traveling in the same direction as the bus or if you are approaching from the opposite side of the street.

23. Drivers turning left must yield to:

Overtaking cars.

Oncoming cars.

No one.

Drivers turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles that are driving straight ahead. A turning driver may only proceed when they can safely turn without affecting oncoming traffic.

24. To turn left from a multilane one-way street onto a one-way street, you should start your turn from:

Any lane (as long as it is safe).

The lane closest to the left curb.

The lane in the center of the road.

When turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, you should begin the turn from the far left lane.

A left turn.

An upcoming stop.

A right turn.

Bicycles do not have turn signals so bicyclists use hand and arm signals to alert other drivers to their intentions. If a bicyclist puts their left arm straight out, they are signaling that they intend to turn left.
