-
Pull over and wait for conditions to improve
-
Use your high beam lights to be more visible
-
Slow down so you can stop if necessary
Correct Answer
A. Slow down so you can stop if necessaryExplanation
When approaching a curve or the top of a hill without clear visibility, it is important to slow down in order to have more control over the vehicle and be prepared to stop if needed. By reducing speed, the driver can react more effectively to any potential hazards or obstacles that may be present on the road ahead. This allows for a safer driving experience and minimizes the risk of accidents or collisions.Rate this question:

You are driving 55 mph on a two-lane highway, one lane in each direction, and want to pass the car ahead of you. To pass safely you need to:
-
Wait until solid double, yellow lines separate the lanes
-
Increase your speed to at least 60 mph
-
Have a large enough gap in the oncoming traffic
Correct Answer
A. Have a large enough gap in the oncoming trafficExplanation
To pass safely on a two-lane highway, it is important to have a large enough gap in the oncoming traffic. This means that there should be no cars approaching from the opposite direction in the lane you intend to switch to. Waiting until solid double, yellow lines separate the lanes is also important, as these lines indicate that passing is not allowed. Increasing your speed to at least 60 mph is not necessary for passing safely, as it depends on the specific situation and the speed limit of the road.Rate this question:

You must legally drive below the speed limit on sharp curves
-
The strong inward pull on your vehicle can be dangerous
-
There may be a stalled car or accident ahead that you cant see
Correct Answer
A. There may be a stalled car or accident ahead that you cant seeExplanation
When approaching a sharp curve, it is important to slow down even if you know your vehicle can handle it at the legal speed limit. This is because there may be a stalled car or accident ahead that is not visible to you. Slowing down allows you to have more time to react and avoid any potential hazards on the road. It is always better to be cautious and prepared for any unexpected situations that may arise.Rate this question:

Should always stop before driving through the intersection
-
Must yield the right-of-way to all other vehicles
-
Should slow down and be ready to stop, if necessary
Correct Answer
A. Should slow down and be ready to stop, if necessaryExplanation
When approaching an intersection without a stop sign or signals, the correct approach is to slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. This is because there may be other vehicles approaching the intersection from different directions, and it is important to ensure that it is safe to proceed before crossing the intersection. By slowing down and being ready to stop, you can react quickly to any potential hazards or oncoming traffic, ensuring the safety of yourself and others on the road.Rate this question:

It is a good habit to signal continuously during the last 100 feet before you turn at an intersection:
-
Unless you are in a designated turn lane
-
Unless you turn is protected by a green arrow
-
Even if you do not see any other vehicles around
Correct Answer
A. Even if you do not see any other vehicles aroundExplanation
Even if you do not see any other vehicles around, it is still a good habit to signal continuously during the last 100 feet before you turn at an intersection. This is because signaling your intentions helps to communicate your actions to other drivers and pedestrians, increasing overall safety on the road. Even if there are no visible vehicles, there may still be pedestrians or cyclists who could benefit from knowing your intended direction. Additionally, signaling consistently helps to develop good driving habits and promotes responsible and courteous driving behavior.Rate this question:

To see vehicles in your blind spots, you must look:
-
Over your shoulders
-
In your side mirrors
-
In your inside rearview mirror
Correct Answer
A. Over your shouldersExplanation
To see vehicles in your blind spots, you must look over your shoulders. This is because blind spots are areas around your vehicle that cannot be seen in your side mirrors or inside rearview mirror. By turning your head and looking over your shoulders, you can check these blind spots and ensure there are no vehicles present before changing lanes or making a turn. This extra check is crucial for safe driving and helps to prevent potential accidents.Rate this question:

Who has the right-of-way at an intersection with no crosswalks?
-
Pedestrians always have the right-of-way
-
Vehicles, but they should slow down and be careful
-
Pedestrians but only with the green "WALK" signal
Correct Answer
A. Pedestrians always have the right-of-wayExplanation
Pedestrians always have the right-of-way at an intersection with no crosswalks because they are considered to be more vulnerable and at a higher risk of injury compared to vehicles. Even though there may not be a designated crosswalk, drivers should still yield to pedestrians and allow them to safely cross the road. It is important for drivers to slow down and be cautious to avoid any potential accidents or harm to pedestrians.Rate this question:
