1. When entering the interstate, check for a gap in traffic in the nearest lane, adjust your speed to match traffic, signal, and:

Expect traffic to allow you to proceed into the lane, since you have the right-of-way.

Merge carefully into the gap.

Wait for the lane to clear before merging.

Before merging into interstate traffic, you should identify a gap, accelerate to the speed of traffic, and signal. Merge into the gap when it is safe to do so. Be alert to other traffic and do not expect other drivers to clear the lane.

2. You should not use your horn:

When visibility ahead is limited.

If you might hit another vehicle.

Near blind pedestrians.

When driving near a blind pedestrian, using your horn may be dangerous. Yield to the pedestrian and proceed when it is safe to do so.

3. It is illegal to leave a child age ____ or younger alone in a vehicle.

Eight

Seven

Six

It is never a good idea to leave a child unattended in a car. It is illegal to leave a child who is age six or younger unattended in a vehicle. A child may be left in a car if they are under the supervision of a person age 12 or older.

4. You exit the freeway on a ramp that curves downhill. You should:

Slow to a safe speed before the curve.

Slow to the posted speed limit for the freeway.

Wait until you have entered the curve to begin braking.

You should always slow down before entering a curve. You may not be able to see hazards ahead and braking in a curve may cause your vehicle to skid.

5. When planning to pass another vehicle, you should:

Not count on other drivers to make room for you.

Assume the driver will let you pass if you use your turn signal.

Assume the driver will maintain a constant speed.

When planning to pass, do not count on having enough time to pass several vehicles at once or assume that other drivers will make room for you. When you can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to your driving lane.

6. When passing another vehicle, you should return to your original lane when:

You can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

You have cleared the front bumper of the passed vehicle.

You are 50 feet in front of the passed vehicle.

When passing another vehicle, move back into your original lane only when you can see the passed vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror. This ensures that you will have enough room to safely pull back in front of the other vehicle.
