1 . Streets and highways are most slippery:

When it has been raining hard for several hours.

When they are clean and dry.

Just after it starts to rain.

Driving during the first half hour of rainfall is dangerous because roadways become extremely slippery when the water mixes with oil and other chemicals on the road surfaces that have not yet washed away. Use extra caution when driving on slippery roads.

2 . Which of the following blocks the smooth flow of traffic?

Slowing down to look at collision scene.

Avoiding unnecessary lane changes.

Using public transportation instead of your vehicle.

Rubbernecking (the practice of slowing down to look at collisions or other out-of-the-ordinary things) contributes to traffic congestion and should be avoided.

3 . In inclement weather, you should:

Steer off the road.

Drive in a low gear.

Steer and brake smoothly.

When driving during unfavorable weather conditions, avoid slamming on the brakes and making sharp, quick turns. These behaviors will make controlling your vehicle in inclement weather even more difficult.

4 . Before returning to your original lane after passing another vehicle, you should:

Beep your horn.

See both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

Flash your headlights.

When passing is permitted, look for both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror. Only then may you safely return to your original lane.

5 . When entering the interstate on a short entrance ramp where there is no acceleration lane, you should:

Immediately enter the far-right traffic lane on the interstate and speed up to match the flow of traffic.

Use the shoulder of the main road to get up to the speed of traffic.

Speed up and enter the interstate only after you have identified a gap in traffic.

When entering the interstate on a short entrance ramp where there is no acceleration lane, speed up only after you have identified a gap in traffic. In general, you should be stopped while waiting for a gap to appear.

6 . The proper way to make a right turn is to:

Signal, slow down, and get into the lane closest to the centerline before turning.

Signal, slow down, and get into the lane closest to the right curb before turning.

Approach the corner in the lane nearest the right curb, but move over toward the middle of the street before turning.

Before beginning a right turn, use the appropriate signal to give surrounding drivers adequate notice of your intentions. Slow down and approach the intersection from the right lane, staying as close as is practical to the right curb or edge of the roadway.

7 . If you have had several beers, the effects of alcohol will be reduced only by:

Taking a cold shower.

Waiting several hours.

Drinking several cups of coffee.

The only way to remove the impairing effects of alcohol is to give the body time to remove it from the body. Drinking coffee, physical activity, or taking a cold shower will not speed up this process. It takes about one hour to cancel the effects of one drink.

8 . "No zones" are areas around trucks where cars:

Disappear into blind spots or are so close that they restrict the truck driver's ability to stop and maneuver safely.

Have sufficient space to travel behind the truck.

Have several car lengths between their vehicle and the truck.

"No zones" are areas around trucks or buses in which cars disappear into the larger vehicle's blind spots. "No zones" can also be defined as areas in which cars are so close to the larger vehicle that they restrict the truck or bus driver’s ability to stop and maneuver safely. A car being in a "No zone" greatly increases the potential for a crash.
