6. Which of these statements is false?

As a person's weight increases, the amount of alcohol required to raise their blood alcohol content (BAC) also increases.

If two people are the same weight, the person with more body fat will show signs of intoxication first.

Drinking three drinks in one hour and drinking three drinks in three hours will affect a person in the same way.

Drinking alcohol at a faster rate will lead to a higher level of intoxication. For example, drinking three drinks in one hour affect a person more acutely than drinking the same three drinks over the course of three hours. As a person's weight increases, the amount of alcohol required to raise their blood alcohol content (BAC) increases. When comparing two people of the same weight, the person with more body fat will show signs of intoxication first, since their body contains proportionally less water in which to dissolve the alcohol.

7. At intersections with a "Yield" sign, you must:

Yield the right-of-way only to vehicles on your right.

8. When backing up:

Look through the rear window.

Press hard on the gas pedal.

Rely only on your rearview mirror.

When backing up, place your right arm on the back of the passenger seat and look directly through the rear window. Do not depend on your rearview or side mirrors as mirrors do not show directly behind your vehicle. Only drive in reverse at a low speed.
