1. You are driving behind a motorcycle and want to pass. You must:

Stay in the right lane as much as possible because the motorcycle is small and doesn't use all of the lane.

Blow your horn to make the motorcycle move onto the shoulder so that you can pass.

Have your vehicle entirely in the left lane before and during the pass.

When passing a motorcycle, allow a full lane to the motorcycle. Never crowd into the same lane as the motorcycle. Returning to the original lane too soon can force a rider to swerve to the right and into traffic or off the road.

2. You enter a designated turn lane to make a left turn at an upcoming intersection. There is oncoming traffic. You should:

Move to the left of the center lane.

Signal before you arrive at the intersection.

Turn your front wheels to the left to be prepared to turn.

When making a left turn, you should always begin signaling about 100 feet before the turn. You should keep your front wheels aiming straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. This ensures that you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic if another vehicle hits you from behind.

Intersection ahead.

Steep grade ahead.

Winding road.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign indicates that there is a steep hill ahead. Slow down and be ready to shift to a lower gear to control your speed and protect your brakes from damage.

4. If there is a deep puddle on the road ahead, you should:

Maintain the posted speed to make it through the water.

Avoid the puddle if possible.

Shift into neutral as you drive through the water.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, avoid especially slippery areas, such as ice patches, wet leaves, oil, or deep puddles. The safest surface for driving is a dry, solid surface.

5. To see vehicles in your blind spots, you should check:

The inside rearview mirror.

The outside rearview mirror.

Over your shoulders.

By definition, blind spots are areas that cannot be seen using your mirrors. To check your blind spots, you should look over your shoulders.

6. 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.

7. You should not use your horn:

When visibility ahead is limited.

If you might hit another vehicle.

Near blind pedestrians.

When driving near a blind pedestrian, using your horn may be dangerous. Yield to the pedestrian and proceed when it is safe to do so.

8. A driver should:

Stare directly in front of their car.

Only focus on the middle of the road.

Watch beside, ahead, and to the rear of their car.

A driver should watch beside, ahead, and to the rear of their car. To be a good driver, you must know what is happening all around your vehicle.
