8 . Which of the following groups of people is not covered by move over laws?
Arkansas law requires drivers to move over when approaching an emergency vehicle that is using its warning signals while stopped on the side of a multilane road. If you cannot change lanes, slow down and proceed with caution.
9 . You should not use the parking brake:
If your vehicle's other braking systems seem to be working adequately.
A parking brake should not be used if the vehicle's brakes are very hot from use on a steep downgrade or if the brakes are very wet and temperatures are freezing. Using the parking brake when brakes are hot could cause damage to the brakes, and using the brakes when they are wet in freezing weather may cause the brakes to ice up, rendering the vehicle immobile.

To travel safely, it is essential that you know what is happening on all sides of your vehicle at all times. Check all mirrors frequently while driving.
