Question 1

You are driving at night and an oncoming vehicle has its high beams on. Where should you look to avoid being blinded?

Answer

Looking toward the right edge of your lane keeps you on course while avoiding glare from oncoming high beams.

Doors opening or pedestrians stepping out between cars

Answer

Parked cars can hide pedestrians and drivers may open doors into your path.

Question 3

When should you increase your following distance to reduce hazard risk?

Accepted Answer

In rain, fog, or when following a large vehicle that blocks your view

Answer

Poor conditions and blocked sightlines require more following distance for safe reaction time.

Question 4

A truck ahead of you is making a wide right turn from the left portion of the lane. What is the hazard for you?

Squeezing into the space on the truck's right side
