The yellow sign on the right is telling you to be aware of what?
- Animals crossing the interstate
- People crossing the road
- Airplanes landing nearby
- Slow moving vehicles

- Slow down because the water on the road may cause your tires to lose traction.
Correct Answer

A. Slow down because the water on the road may cause your tires to lose traction.

Explanation

Pay careful attention to the weather forecast so if the roads are dangerous you know to leaver earlier or driver slower.

Since it is cold outside and wet, what is the biggest concern that should you have for the upcoming bridge?
- No concerns! It's only raining a little.
- The bridge is too small for it to be affected by the conditions.
- The bridge could be icy even though it is raining and not quite cold enough to snow.
- A troll might jump out and demand payment.
Correct Answer

A. The bridge could be icy even though it is raining and not quite cold enough to snow.

Explanation

Even if the temperature is above freezing, bridges could still be icy because they can be cooled more easily from beneath than a normal stretch of road.

When stopping behind a stopped car, it is the best practice to:
- Leave enough space so that you can still see the back tires of the car in front of you.
- Pull up as close as you can so that there is plenty of room in the turn lane for more people.
- Stop where you are in the picture because any closer would be too close.
- Flash your lights so they know that you are behind them.
Correct Answer

A. Leave enough space so that you can still see the back tires of the car in front of you.

Explanation

Stopping too close to the car is unsafe because if you are hit, then you will roll forward and hit the person in front of you. Flashing lights is not necessary in this situation. Leaving too much room will cause traffic to build up behind you.

Rate this question:
7.

A car has just pulled out right in front of you. It is good practice to first:
- Let your foot off the accelerator and cover the brake in the event that you need to slow down.
- Keep going like they aren't there since they should be out of the way when you get there.
- Slam on the brakes as fast as you can.
- Give them the one fingered wave.
Correct Answer

A. Let your foot off the accelerator and cover the brake in the event that you need to slow down.

Explanation

The best option here is to cover the brake. There is still plenty of room between you and the car, and you are only going about 40 mph. Slamming on the brakes would be inappropriate because a car behind you may not be anticipating your immediate stop, and the car in front of you will be out of the way in an ideal situation.

Rate this question:
8.

Speeding through school zones while children are present is not only dangerous, but it can also drastically increase the fines if you are pulled over.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

When a large truck is turning at an intersection:
- Pull all the way up to the stop line and don't budge, YOU have the right of way!
- Beep your horn constantly when the truck is having trouble making the sharp turn
- Come up to the intersection slower and stay back so the truck has enough room to turn.
- Get out of your car and make sure that the truck doesn't hit the front of your car.
Correct Answer

A. Come up to the intersection slower and stay back so the truck has enough room to turn.

Explanation

Large trucks and buses make wide turns. Look ahead to intersections to see if there are any trucks or buses and then stay back so they have a less difficult time making their turn.

Rate this question:

If you have a green light
- You can go immediately
- Proceed ahead slowly
- Check to make sure it is clear before you go
- Green means go - so go before the cars behind you start honking
Correct Answer

A. Check to make sure it is clear before you go

Explanation

Only go if it is safe to do so. There may still be pedestrians, cyclists or cars in the intersection even if you have a green light.

Rate this question:
12.

You are driving in front of Walmart and people keep walking in front of you. You are stopped at a stop sign and ten minutes late for work. In the current situation the next step is to:
- Creep forward until people stop walking in front of you.
- Honk a few times to clear you path.
- Back up quickly and go a different way if it doesn't clear very soon.
- Sit and wait patiently until no one remains in the crosswalk. If it remains clear, then proceed slowly and with caution.
Correct Answer

A. Sit and wait patiently until no one remains in the crosswalk. If it remains clear, then proceed slowly and with caution.

Explanation

The pedestrians have the right of way so the best course of action is to wait until all is clear. It would not be advisable to back up quickly since there could be people or traffic behind you. Honking and creeping forward are also not advised in this situation.

When you find yourself trapped in between two problems you should
- Separate hazards - slow down so you are not trapped in between the car coming from the opposite direction and the obstacle on the side of the road.
- Speed up and move closer to the truck with hazard cones because the worker is probably on the opposite side of the road.
- Drive exactly the speed limit and in the middle of your lane so that a police officer will not pull you over for going out of your lane
- Pull over to the shoulder of the road and put on your hazard flashers
Correct Answer

A. Separate hazards - slow down so you are not trapped in between the car coming from the opposite direction and the obstacle on the side of the road.

Explanation

When you see a problem up ahead, you might need to adjust your speed to be able to take one hazard at a time.

Rate this question:
14.

When driving in a parking lot, drive swiftly so that cars cannot pull out in front of you.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

Rate this question:
15.

When stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, how close should you be to the car in front of you?
- 3-4 car lengths
- Close enough so you can see into their back seat
- Touching their bumper
- Far enough back so you can see their tires touch the ground
Correct Answer

A. Far enough back so you can see their tires touch the ground

Explanation

When stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, it is important to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. Being far enough back so you can see their tires touch the ground allows for a sufficient buffer zone in case the car in front suddenly rolls back or if you need to maneuver around it. This distance also provides better visibility of the road ahead, enabling you to react quickly to any potential hazards or changes in traffic conditions.

Rate this question:
16.

You are driving down the road and are about to make a right at the intersection. What things should you think about doing before making the turn? Check all that apply.
- Slowing down sooner than normal because the roads are wet.
- Notice that the light is red so you will have to make a complete stop before determining if it is clear to proceed with caution.
- Focus on that gas price to see if it is the lowest one in town.
- Ensure there are no pedestrians that are going to cross in front of you just out of the current view.
Correct Answer(s)

A. Slowing down sooner than normal because the roads are wet.
A. Notice that the light is red so you will have to make a complete stop before determining if it is clear to proceed with caution.
A. Ensure there are no pedestrians that are going to cross in front of you just out of the current view.

Explanation

The only incorrect response is to focus on gas prices because you should be focused on the road and your surroundings.

When passing a car stranded on the side of the road, you should
- Stop and get out of your car and direct traffic
- You should change lanes to give the car more room
- You should stay in your lane in case a semi wants to pass you
- Speed up so you are not next to them for long
Correct Answer

A. You should change lanes to give the car more room

Explanation

When passing a car stranded on the side of the road, it's safest to change lanes if possible to give the stranded car more room. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures the safety of both the stranded vehicle's occupants and passing drivers. Stopping to direct traffic is not advisable unless you are trained and it is absolutely necessary, and staying in your lane or speeding up can increase the risk of a collision.

There is a car on the shoulder of the interstate up ahead. Where should you position your car to avoid this obstacle?
- If the left lane is clear, then turn on your blinker and move over. If not, then stay to the left side of the right lane and slow down.
- Keep going as you are because the car is likely abandoned.
- Pull over to see if they need help.
- Quickly move to the left lane because you want to be as far as possible from the hazard on your right.
Correct Answer

A. If the left lane is clear, then turn on your blinker and move over. If not, then stay to the left side of the right lane and slow down.

Explanation

Checking if it is clear and then possibly moving over is the best option. No one is signaling for help and it is always dangerous to pull on the side of the interstate so stopping is not the best choice. Quick movements without checking your surroundings is also a good way to cause an accident.

The speed limit is 40 and there is a green light. This driver, however, is going a slower speed. A good explanation for this is that the light is a stale green, meaning it has been green for awhile.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

When a light has been green for a while, the driver should anticipate having to slow down just in case the light turn yellow. Also you may notice there is some water on the road so it is good to adjust speed based on the road condition.

Maintaining a safe following distance is key to avoiding accidents. In ideal conditions, it is important to stay at least ______ _________ behind the car in front of you.
- 4 seconds
- 8 seconds
- 2 seconds
- 2 car lengths
Correct Answer

A. 4 seconds

Explanation

Vehicles are different lengths so the measurement is made in seconds. 4 seconds is the minimum separation with perfect weather conditions to ensure you can stop in time if they stop unexpectedly.

You have been driving down the interstate for hours and you start to feel a little drowsy. You should consider doing the following since it is the safest option for yourself and others:
- Take the next exit or stop at the next rest stop to take a break.
- Pull over on the side of the road to rest.
- Keep driving through the drowsiness because you could never fall asleep at the wheel.
- Turn up your music really loud to keep yourself awake.
Correct Answer

A. Take the next exit or stop at the next rest stop to take a break.

Explanation

Stopping on the shoulder of the interstate is not advised because the vehicles around you are traveling at high speeds and may not be able to react fast enough if you are in their way. Turning up your music really loud would make you less aware of your surroundings and may not help wake you up for very long. It is best to take an exit and rest until feeling better.

Most rear end collisions are caused by the vehicle in back following too closely. Under ideal conditions, how far behind another vehicle should you be?
- 3-4 feet
- 3-4 car lengths
- 3-4 seconds
- 3-4 inches
Correct Answer

A. 3-4 seconds

Explanation

To avoid rear-end collisions, it is important to maintain a safe following distance. The correct answer is 3-4 seconds. This means that you should keep a time interval of 3-4 seconds between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. This allows you enough time to react and stop safely in case the vehicle in front suddenly brakes or slows down. Following too closely, such as 3-4 feet or inches, does not provide enough time to react and can lead to accidents.

You want to take the parking spot that the red car is backing out of. What should you do? Check all that apply.
- Leave plenty of room so the red car can continue backing up.
- Put on your turn signal so surrounding cars know of your intent to park in the spot.
- Speed up and swiftly park in the spot before someone else takes it.
- Turn to the right and back into the spot.
Correct Answer(s)

A. Leave plenty of room so the red car can continue backing up.
A. Put on your turn signal so surrounding cars know of your intent to park in the spot.

Explanation

Since angled parking is one-way, you do not back into the spots because you would be facing the wrong way when you leave. Take your time and signal to everyone else that you will be parking in the recently vacated spot.

Rate this question:

You are in the right turn lane and planning on turning on the road where the red vehicle is waiting. Mark all of the appropriate actions to do before turning.
- Put on your right blinker well in advanced.
- Brake early and slowly because of the road conditions.
- Speed through the turn so you get to your destination more quickly.
- Turn on your hazard warning lights since you will be slowing down on the main road.
Correct Answer(s)

A. Put on your right blinker well in advanced.
A. Brake early and slowly because of the road conditions.

Explanation

Using a blinker and slowing down early are both good practice in this situation. Hazard lights are not necessary here because you are slowing down to turn, and you are in the turn lane. The hazards should be used when you are unexpectedly going slowly and you need to signal other drivers of this unexpected speed.

Correct Answer(s)

A. Take the exit if the lane next to you is occupied. You can always get back on the interstate.
A. Check your mirrors and blind spot to see if you can move back over to the left.

Explanation

Don't worry! If you are forced to be somewhere you don't want to be, then you can always make a few turns to get back on track.

Correct Answer(s)

A. Use a GPS.
A. Look up your route ahead of time.
A. Have a passenger help navigate.

Explanation

Planning a trip and your route before you travel is an excellent idea. Being in the middle of the traffic lanes could be dangerous and when you pull out, you could get hit from behind by a car traveling at high speeds.

You are on a side road and about to turn right onto the main road. What should you do?
- Pull up to the main road and come to a complete stop. Ensure the road is clear before pulling onto the main roadway.
- Since there is no sign, you do not have to stop if it is clear.
- Stop first at the bottom of the hill and then at the top before pulling onto the roadway.
Correct Answer

A. Pull up to the main road and come to a complete stop. Ensure the road is clear before pulling onto the main roadway.

- Speed up to make sure you make it through before it turns yellow
- Look to the left to make sure it is clear
- Look to the right to make sure it is clear
- Check for cars making a left hand turn to make sure it it clear
- If all is clear, proceed with caution
Correct Answer(s)

A. Look to the left to make sure it is clear
A. Look to the right to make sure it is clear
A. Check for cars making a left hand turn to make sure it it clear
A. If all is clear, proceed with caution

Explanation

At a green light, it is important to ensure that both the left and right sides are clear before proceeding. This is because there may be vehicles approaching from either direction that could pose a potential hazard. Additionally, it is necessary to check for cars making a left-hand turn, as they may be crossing your path. Once all sides are clear, it is safe to proceed with caution, keeping in mind that other drivers may still be present on the road.

When backing out of your driveway:
- First stop at the sidewalk and check both ways and then stop again at the roadway
- You have the right of way because you are the one backing out
- Stop at the edge of the roadway to check for traffic
- Back out quickly so you don't slow down the other traffic
Correct Answer

A. First stop at the sidewalk and check both ways and then stop again at the roadway

Explanation

A driver must come to a complete stop when moving out of a driveway, and before entering the sidewalk area. And again, if they don't have a good view of the roadway.

Rate this question:
33.

If driving in the given scenario, how should you adjust to avoid the biggest hazards?
- There are multiple cars parked along the roadway so you should slow down and move towards the left side of your lane.
- Hang to the right of your lane to get further away from oncoming traffic.
- Slow for the pedestrian that is about to cross the road.
- Slow for the parked car that is indicating it wants to pull into the roadway.
Correct Answer

A. There are multiple cars parked along the roadway so you should slow down and move towards the left side of your lane.

Explanation

There is no pedestrian in this video and no parked cars are trying to pull out so those answers are incorrect for this situation. The parked cars on the side of the roadway limit the space you have in your lane, so it is important to slow down and position your car in the left side of your lane in case someone opens a door unexpectedly.

When exiting this drive way;
- Stop completely, even though there is no stop sign
- Yield to other traffic
- Slow down to check for traffic, but you don't have to stop unless there is another car coming
- Since there is snow on the ground, don't drive
Correct Answer

A. Stop completely, even though there is no stop sign

Explanation

When exiting a driveway, it is important to stop completely, even if there is no stop sign. This is because stopping allows the driver to check for any oncoming traffic and ensure that it is safe to proceed. Even if there are no other cars visible, there may be pedestrians or cyclists that are not immediately noticeable. Stopping completely also gives the driver more time to react if any unexpected hazards arise. Therefore, it is necessary to stop completely when exiting a driveway, regardless of the presence of a stop sign.
