15 . Regarding winter driving, all of the following are true, except:
Use a gauge to verify that each tire has a safe tread depth.
When driving during the winter, it is particularly important that your tires have adequate tread. You need a tread depth of at least 4/32 of an inch in every major groove on the front tires, and at least 2/32 of an inch on the back tires. Check the tread depths by using a gauge.

Always begin signaling well in advance of a turn. This is the best way to ensure that other drivers do not try to pass you. Without using a turn signal, drivers may assume that you are merely slowing down or stopping when you are planning to turn.
17 . When stopping a manual transmission vehicle, you should:
When stopping, apply gradual pressure to the brake pedal and stop smoothly. If stopping a manual transmission vehicle, push the clutch in when the engine is close to idle.
18 . When entering fog, you should:
Slow down.
If at all possible, it is best to avoid driving in fog. However, if you must drive through fog, slow down before reaching it.

Using ABS.
On a steep downgrade, you must use the engine's braking effect as your primary method of speed control. Be sure to decelerate and downshift appropriately before beginning to drive down the hill.
20 . When are people usually the least alert?
Most drivers are the least alert at night, especially after midnight. Therefore, crashes due to fatigued driving are more likely at night than any other time of day.
