9. A steady green traffic light at an intersection means:

Increase your speed.

Adjust your mirrors.

A steady green traffic light indicates that the driver may continue through the intersection. The driver should yield to traffic or pedestrians already in the intersection and proceed when the intersection is clear.

Yield sign.

School crossing sign.

Stop sign.

A downward-facing triangular sign is always a yield sign. Drivers must be prepared to slow down or stop when approaching a yield sign.

11. When arriving to an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as vehicles to your right and left, you should:

Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your left.

Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.

Wait until there are no vehicles at the intersection before proceeding.

If multiple vehicles arrive at the same time to an intersection that is not controlled by signs or signals, the driver on the right has the right-of-way. Drivers should then proceed in the order that they arrive to the intersection.

12. If a traffic signal light is green and a police officer signals for you to stop, you should:

Obey the officer.

Obey the traffic signal.

Do what the vehicle in front of you does.

13. You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are following a small passenger vehicle.

Are being tailgated by another driver.

Are driving more slowly than the posted speed limit.

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.

One-way traffic.

Intersection ahead.

Merging traffic from the right.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign tells drivers to prepare to allow traffic to safely merge from the right.

15. Interstate driving requires drivers to:

Have the ability to safely drive at increased speeds.

Be constantly alert.

Both of the above.

Safe use of the interstate demands drivers be constantly alert and capable of driving at high speeds.

16. If you find yourself in a skid:

Brake lightly.

Stay off the brakes.

Brake abruptly.

If your vehicle begins to skid, do not use the brakes. Braking could make the skid worse.
