1. Which of these statements is true about roadwork zones?

Fines are the same for violations committed in work zones as they are under normal traffic conditions.

You must "Slow for the Cone Zone."

Slow down only if you think workers are present.

Reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop for highway equipment. Driving carefully through work zones improves safety for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and road workers.

2. Which of the following describes the thinking of defensive drivers?

They know other drivers will do the right thing.

They consider what other drivers might do and are prepared to react.

They expect no breaks and give none.

Driving defensively means anticipating potential errors made by others and preparing to compensate for their mistakes.

3. Check your rearview mirrors:

Often to see how traffic is moving behind you.

To see if a vehicle is in your blind spot.

Only when you are slowing down.

When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so you know the positions of vehicles near you.

4. Always stop before crossing railroad tracks when:

There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.

The railroad crossing is located in a city or town that has frequent train traffic.

You are transporting two or more young children in a passenger vehicle.

Expect a train on any track, at any time, traveling in either direction. If you need to stop after crossing the tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.

5. If a child is riding a bicycle near your vehicle:

Beep your horn.

Expect the child to be in total control of the bicycle.

Expect the unexpected.

Children on bicycles are sometimes unpredictable. Young bicyclists are especially likely to make surprising changes in direction. Remember that children and bicycles are both small in stature and may become difficult to see.

6. To see vehicles in your blind spots, you should check:

The inside rearview mirror.

The outside rearview mirror.

Over your shoulders.

By definition, blind spots are areas that cannot be seen using your mirrors. To check your blind spots, you should look over your shoulders.

7. A blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent:

Won't have any effect on your driving.

Won't put other drivers at risk.

Will double your chances of having an accident.

Every 0.02 percent increase in blood alcohol concentration nearly doubles a driver's risk of being in a fatal crash.

8. Interstate driving requires drivers to:

Have the ability to safely drive at increased speeds.

Be constantly alert.

Both of the above.

Safe use of the interstate demands drivers be constantly alert and capable of driving at high speeds.
