If your vehicle starts to hydroplane, you should:
-
Drive at a constant speed to gain better traction
-
Apply the brakes firmly to prevent your vehicle form sliding
-

A large truck is driving in the middle of three lanes. You want to pass the large truck. It is best to pass:
-
Quickly on the left and move ahead of it
-
Very slowly on the left and move ahead of it
-
Very quickly on the right and move ahead of it
Correct Answer
A. Quickly on the left and move ahead of itExplanation
When passing a large truck, it is best to do so quickly on the left and move ahead of it. This is because the left lane is typically the passing lane, and passing quickly reduces the amount of time spent in the truck's blind spot. Moving ahead of the truck also ensures that you have a safe distance between your vehicle and the truck, reducing the risk of any potential accidents or collisions. Passing very slowly on the left or passing quickly on the right may not be the best options as they can increase the chances of accidents or impede the flow of traffic.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Over your right shoulder as you back upExplanation
When backing out of an angled parking space, it is important to look over your right shoulder as you back up.

Correct Answer
A. Slow or stop your car to prevent an accidentExplanation
If an oncoming vehicle has started to turn left in front of you, it is important to slow down or stop your car to prevent an accident. Honking the horn may alert the driver, but it does not guarantee that they will react in time. Maintaining your speed and asserting your right-of-way can lead to a collision, as the turning vehicle may not have enough time to complete the turn safely.

Driving slower than the traffic flow tends to:
-
Make an accident less likely to happen
-
Make an accident more likely to happen
-
Not change the chances of having an accident
Correct Answer
A. Make an accident more likely to happenExplanation
Driving slower than the traffic flow can make an accident more likely to happen. This is because when a driver is significantly slower than the surrounding traffic, it can disrupt the flow and cause other drivers to make sudden maneuvers to avoid colliding with the slower vehicle. This can lead to confusion, frustration, and potentially dangerous situations on the road. Additionally, driving significantly slower than the traffic flow can also increase the risk of rear-end collisions, as other drivers may not anticipate the slower vehicle's speed and fail to adjust their own speed accordingly.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Drive 5 to 10 mph under the limitExplanation
When the road is wet, it becomes more slippery and increases the chances of losing control of the vehicle. Therefore, it is recommended to drive at a slower speed to maintain better control and reduce the risk of accidents. Driving 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit allows for a safer driving experience in wet conditions.Rate this question:
