What should you do when you encounter a school bus with flashing red lights stopped on a two-lane road?
Answer: Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the bus moves
On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must stop when a school bus displays flashing red lights.
When driving in fog, you should use:
Answer: Low-beam headlights to reduce glare
Low-beam headlights reduce glare caused by fog because the light is directed downward rather than straight ahead.
A driver should increase following distance when:
Answer: Following a motorcycle
Motorcycles can stop much faster than cars, so extra following distance is needed to avoid a rear-end collision.
What is the primary danger of driving while fatigued?
Answer: Slower reaction time and risk of falling asleep at the wheel
Fatigue significantly slows reaction time and can cause microsleep episodes, making it as dangerous as drunk driving.
When should you turn on your headlights?
Answer: From sunset to sunrise and whenever visibility is less than 500 feet
Headlights are required from sunset to sunrise and in any conditions where visibility drops below 500 feet.
When approaching a flashing yellow traffic light, you should:
Answer: Slow down and proceed with caution
A flashing yellow light is a warning signal requiring drivers to slow down and proceed carefully through the intersection.
What should you do if your vehicle begins to hydroplane?
Answer: Ease off the gas and steer straight without braking hard
During hydroplaning, easing off the gas and maintaining a straight course allows tires to regain road contact gradually.
