What is a good practice when nearing an intersection?
- Slow down and be prepared to stop
- Tailgate the vehicle in front
- Speed up
- Run away
Correct Answer

A. Slow down and be prepared to stop

Explanation

Slowing down and being prepared to stop when nearing an intersection is a good practice because it allows the driver to have better control of the vehicle and be ready to respond to any potential hazards or changes in traffic conditions. It also gives the driver more time to assess the situation, check for any oncoming vehicles, and make a safe decision on whether to proceed or stop at the intersection. This practice helps to prevent accidents and ensures the safety of both the driver and other road users.

Correct Answer

A. To protect you and other drivers

Explanation

Traffic laws are put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of both drivers and pedestrians. They establish guidelines and regulations that help prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities on the road. By obeying traffic laws, drivers can minimize the risk of collisions and protect themselves and others from harm. These laws also help maintain order and facilitate the smooth flow of traffic, leading to a more efficient transportation system.

- Make a uturn
- Back up
- Change the way
Correct Answer

A. Go to the next exit. dont back up

Explanation

If you miss a turn on the expressway, the best course of action is to go to the next exit. This is because backing up on the expressway is extremely dangerous and prohibited. It can cause accidents and disrupt the flow of traffic. Going to the next exit allows you to safely turn around and find an alternative route to your destination. Making a U-turn or changing the way may not be possible or safe depending on the road conditions and traffic flow.

What is a good practice while driving?
- Speed only when there are no police about
- Keep from looking at any one thing for more than a few seconds
- Don't eat
- Talking on phone
Correct Answer

A. Keep from looking at any one thing for more than a few seconds

Explanation

A good practice while driving is to keep from looking at any one thing for more than a few seconds. This is because prolonged distraction from the road can increase the risk of accidents. By keeping our attention focused and scanning the surroundings, we can be more aware of potential hazards and react in a timely manner. It is important to avoid distractions such as looking at our phones, eating, or engaging in activities that take our eyes off the road. Additionally, speeding only when there are no police around is not a good practice as it disregards traffic laws and can endanger oneself and others on the road.

Whether your blood alcohol content raises above the legal limit depends on
- How fast you drank
- Your weight
- How much you drank
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. All of the above

Explanation

The correct answer is "all of the above" because all three factors mentioned - how fast you drank, your weight, and how much you drank - play a significant role in determining whether your blood alcohol content raises above the legal limit. Drinking alcohol quickly can result in a higher BAC as your body may not have enough time to metabolize it. Additionally, weight influences how alcohol is distributed in the body, with higher weight potentially leading to a lower BAC. Finally, the amount of alcohol consumed directly affects BAC, with larger quantities leading to a higher BAC.

Why should you use seat belts and shoulder belts?
- They increase your chance of surviving and accident
- So that you dont get a ticket
- Because you're supposed to
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. They increase your chance of surviving and accident

Explanation

Using seat belts and shoulder belts increases your chances of surviving an accident. Seat belts are designed to restrain your body during a collision, preventing you from being thrown out of the vehicle or hitting the interior components. Shoulder belts, on the other hand, provide additional protection by securing your upper body and reducing the risk of severe injuries. By wearing both seat belts and shoulder belts, you are effectively minimizing the impact forces on your body, which significantly improves your chances of survival in the event of an accident.

When is the road surface most slippery?
- During the first few minutes of rain
- 30 minutes into rainfall
- At the tail end of a downpour
- During rain
Correct Answer

A. During the first few minutes of rain

Explanation

The road surface is most slippery during the first few minutes of rain because the water mixes with the oils and dust on the road, creating a slick surface. As the rain continues, it washes away the oils and dust, making the road less slippery. Therefore, the initial few minutes of rain pose a higher risk of accidents due to the increased slipperiness of the road surface.

What is a good practice at an intersection that has no signs or signal?
- Be ready to stop if necessary (cover the break)
- All intersections have signs and signals
- Continue driving as normal
- Drive fast
Correct Answer

A. Be ready to stop if necessary (cover the break)

Explanation

At an intersection with no signs or signals, it is a good practice to be prepared to stop if necessary by covering the brake. This means keeping your foot close to the brake pedal, ready to apply pressure and stop quickly if needed. Since there are no signs or signals to regulate traffic flow, being alert and ready to react to other vehicles or pedestrians is important for ensuring safety at such intersections.

Correct Answer

A. If the car in front is turning left and there is a lane for driving on the right

Explanation

You may pass on the right when the car in front of you is turning left and there is a lane specifically designated for driving on the right. This means that there is a separate lane for vehicles to pass on the right side of the car turning left, allowing for safe and legal passing. Passing on the right in this situation is acceptable because it does not require crossing into oncoming traffic or violating any traffic rules.

What should you do if you go into a skid?
- Take your foot off the gas
- Hit the brakes
- Pull the parking handle
- Drive fast
Correct Answer

A. Take your foot off the gas

Explanation

When a vehicle goes into a skid, it means that the tires have lost traction with the road surface. In this situation, hitting the brakes or continuing to accelerate by driving fast can worsen the skid and make it harder to regain control of the vehicle. By taking your foot off the gas, you allow the tires to regain traction and help the vehicle stabilize. This reduces the risk of further skidding and increases the chances of safely maneuvering the vehicle back onto the intended path.

If you want to return to the road from a dirt shoulder
- Slow down then turn your wheels to climb the pavement
- Accelerate and turn the wheel
- Yank the wheel hard in the direction of the road
- Stop there
Correct Answer

A. Slow down then turn your wheels to climb the pavement

Explanation

To safely return to the road from a dirt shoulder, it is important to slow down first. This allows for better control of the vehicle and reduces the risk of skidding or losing control. After slowing down, turning the wheels towards the pavement helps to gradually climb back onto the road surface. Accelerating or yanking the wheel hard can lead to sudden movements and potentially cause the vehicle to spin out or veer off the road. Stopping on the dirt shoulder is not a suitable option for returning to the road.

Correct Answer

A. An extra lane provided at the entrance to an expressway to provide a vehicle distance in which to build up speed

Explanation

An acceleration lane is an additional lane that is specifically designated at the entrance of an expressway. Its purpose is to allow vehicles to increase their speed and merge smoothly into the flow of traffic on the main road. This lane provides a safe distance for vehicles to accelerate and match the speed of other vehicles on the expressway. It helps to prevent congestion and potential accidents by allowing vehicles to enter the main road without disrupting the flow of traffic.

A. Slow down and stop before nearing the intersection only if possible

Explanation

When approaching a steady yellow or amber signal, the appropriate action is to slow down and stop before nearing the intersection only if it is possible to do so safely. This means that if it is not safe to stop suddenly, such as when you are too close to the intersection or there is traffic behind you, you should continue through the intersection with caution. However, if it is possible to stop safely, it is recommended to do so to avoid the risk of a collision.

- An intersection that is not controlled
- An intersection where there are no rules
- An intersection where there are no traffic signs or signals
- An intersection on the highway
Correct Answer

A. An intersection where there are no traffic signs or signals

Explanation

An uncontrolled intersection refers to a junction where there are no traffic signs or signals present to regulate the flow of vehicles. In such intersections, drivers are required to use caution, yield the right-of-way as necessary, and follow the rules of the road to ensure safe passage. This lack of control can make these intersections more challenging to navigate, as drivers must rely on their judgment and communication with other drivers to determine who has the right-of-way.

Correct Answer

A. After receiving 12 points

Explanation

In this scenario, the correct answer is "after receiving 12 points." In many jurisdictions, a driver's license can be suspended or revoked when they accumulate a certain number of points due to traffic violations. Each violation carries a specific number of points, and once a driver reaches the threshold (in this case, 12 points), they will be given a proposed license suspension notice. This notice serves as a warning that their license may be suspended if they continue to accumulate points.
