Question 1

At an intersection, you have a green light but a car on the cross street is not slowing down. What should you do?

Be prepared to yield and avoid a collision even though you have the right of way

Answer

Defensive drivers give up the right of way when needed to avoid a crash with a vehicle that may run the light.

Question 2

Why are the areas around large trucks called No-Zones a hazard concern?

Accepted Answer

They are blind spots where the driver cannot see other vehicles

Answer

No-Zones are the truck's large blind spots where cars can disappear from the driver's view.

Question 3

You notice a vehicle drifting within its lane and then over the center line ahead of you. What hazard does this most likely indicate?

Accepted Answer

An impaired or drowsy driver

Answer

Drifting across lane lines is a common sign of an impaired, distracted, or drowsy driver.

Question 4

When driving in fog, what is the safest way to reduce hazard risk?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and use low-beam headlights

Answer

Low beams cut through fog better than high beams, and slowing down gives you more reaction time.

Question 5

A driver merges onto the highway ahead of you but is traveling much slower than traffic. What is the hazard?

Accepted Answer

The speed difference could cause a rear-end collision

Answer

A large speed difference between vehicles increases the risk of a rear-end crash.
