Explanation
Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign alerts drivers to where pedestrians may be crossing. If a pedestrian is crossing in a crosswalk marked with this sign, drivers must stop and remain stopped until the pedestrian is no longer in the crosswalk.
26. Alcohol is the single greatest common factor in fatal motor vehicle crashes.
Explanation
Alcohol is the number one killer on American roadways. Alcohol affects a person’s vision and slows their reaction time, so it takes longer to act in an emergency. Alcohol affects a person’s driving even if they are below the level of illegal intoxication.

Explanation
When entering and driving through a work zone, slow down and be prepared to stop. Obey posted speed limits and be alert to conditions around you. Workers could be present.
28. You drive defensively when you:
Explanation
You are driving defensively when you are looking down the road for potential hazards. Constantly staring at the road directly in front of your vehicle is dangerous. As you scan ahead, be alert to vehicles around you.

Explanation
Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly, and makes you less alert. As the amount of alcohol in your body increases, your judgment worsens and your driving skills decrease. You will have trouble judging distances, speeds, and the movement of other vehicles.
30. When passing another vehicle, a driver should wait until the entire car they've just passed is visible in the rearview mirror before changing back into the right-hand lane.
Explanation
When passing, you should not return to your original lane until the entire vehicle you've just passed is visible in your rearview mirror.

Explanation
At a railroad crossing marked with this sign, a driver should look both ways, listen for any trains, and be prepared to stop if any trains are nearby. Never try to outdrive an oncoming train.
32. If it is necessary to make an emergency stop while driving on an interstate, you should:
Explanation
If you must stop on the shoulder of the interstate or highway, turn on your emergency flashers to warn other drivers and stay inside your vehicle, if you can. The extremely high speed of traffic makes standing or walking along an interstate highway very dangerous.
33. Where is it safe to pass another vehicle?
Explanation
Never pass within intersections or at other intersecting points, such as parking lot entrances and alleyways. Any time your view is blocked by a curve or a hill, you should stay in your lane and assume that there is an oncoming vehicle just out of sight. Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing other vehicles, you will have to determine whether or not you have enough space to pass in a safe manner.
35. In urban areas, drivers moving out of an alley, building, private road, or driveway do not need to come to a complete stop before entering the roadway if the roadway is clear of traffic.
Explanation
When emerging from an alley, building, private road, or driveway, a driver must come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to other drivers and to pedestrians.
