1. When used on roadways, bicycles are considered:

Hazards.

Vehicles.

Dangerous.

Bicycles are considered vehicles when used on roadways. Bicyclists and motorists are expected to follow the same rules of the road.

2. If oncoming headlights are blinding you while you are driving at night, you should:

Look toward the right edge of the road.

Switch your lights to high beams.

Turn your lights on and off.

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle are blinding, glance toward the right edge of the road instead of looking directly ahead. This should keep your vehicle safely on the road until you pass the oncoming vehicle.

3. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

4. 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.

5. If your car becomes disabled while on the highway, you should:

Stop in the right lane.

Park with all four wheels off the traveled highway, if possible.

Stop where you are.

If your vehicle becomes disabled, you must (if possible) park with all four wheels off of the main-traveled portion of the road.

Do not enter.

Roundabout ahead.

No U-turns.

Regulatory signs provide notice to road users of traffic laws that must be obeyed. This sign tells drivers that it is prohibited to make a U-turn.

7. When may drivers stop in travel lanes?

When they're lost.

When they are dropping off a passenger.

Never.

Do not stop in travel lanes for any reason (confusion, breakdown, letting out a passenger, etc.). Keep moving until you can safely pull off the road.

8. Collisions are more likely to happen when:

All vehicles are traveling at about the same speed.

One lane of traffic is traveling faster than the other lanes.

One vehicle is traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic.

Collisions are more likely to happen when one driver moves faster or slower than the other vehicles on the road. Driving faster than other traffic increases your chance of being involved in a collision. Driving more slowly than other traffic is also dangerous because it can increase the risk of a rear-end collision with your vehicle or cause other drivers to swerve to avoid hitting you.
