24. When approaching a traffic signal displaying a steady green arrow, drivers:
Explanation
A green arrow displayed on a traffic signal tells drivers that they may turn in the direction of the arrow. You must be in the proper lane for such a turn. Yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection.
25. If you plan to turn at an intersection, you should start to signal 50 to 75 feet before your turn.
Explanation
In South Carolina, the law requires you to signal at least 100 feet before making any kind of turn.
26. Railroad crossings should always be considered:
Explanation
Railroad crossings are always dangerous. Drivers should always look and listen for trains approaching from either direction on all railroad tracks. Always follow the directions indicated by signs, signals, and flaggers. Never proceed past a railroad crossing until you are certain it is safe to do so.
27. You should always travel:
Explanation
The speed at which you should drive your vehicle depends on road conditions, the weather, and the legal speed limit. You may never drive above the legal speed limit. Decrease your speed when anything makes conditions less than ideal.
28. When should you yield your legal right-of-way?
Explanation
Never assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way. Yield your right-of-way whenever it helps prevent collisions.
29. Highway pavement will be particularly treacherous and most slippery:
Explanation
Pavement is particularly treacherous when it first begins to rain. Accumulations of dirt and oil mix with the rainwater, creating a greasy film on the roadway.
30. You have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off the edge of the pavement. What should you do first?
Explanation
If your vehicle leaves the roadway, hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes. Wait until your speed has reduced, check the traffic, and look for a place to safely return to the roadway by merging back into traffic. Overcompensating by jerking the wheel to return to the roadway can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or may cause your car to go into other lanes of traffic.
