How should a driver proceed if within an intersection waiting to make a left turn and the traffic signal light turns red?
- A.
  
  Wait in the intersection until the light turns green.
- B.
  
  Yield to oncoming traffic and finish the turn.

This means that even though the light has turned red, the driver should wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic and complete the left turn before the oncoming traffic starts moving. This ensures that the driver does not block the intersection and allows for a smooth flow of traffic.

- C.
  
  Not less than 100 feet before turning.
Correct Answer
C. Not less than 100 feet before turning.

Explanation
A continuous turn signal should be given not less than 100 feet before turning in a business or residential district. This is important to provide ample warning to other drivers and pedestrians of the upcoming turn, giving them enough time to react and adjust their own driving accordingly. It helps to ensure safety on the road and prevent accidents by allowing sufficient time for others to anticipate and respond to the turning vehicle.

- B.
  
  Slow down and yield the right-of-way.
- C.
  
  Honk their horn several times to alert individuals working in the area of their presence.
Correct Answer
B. Slow down and yield the right-of-way.

Explanation
When approaching a construction area, drivers should slow down and yield the right-of-way. This is because construction areas often have reduced speed limits and may have workers or equipment present, making it necessary for drivers to proceed with caution. Increasing speed to get out of the way quickly can be dangerous and may lead to accidents. Honking the horn several times is also not recommended as it may startle or distract the workers in the area. Therefore, the safest and most appropriate action is to slow down and yield the right-of-way.

- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
In an unmarked crosswalk, there are no specific markings or signs indicating that it is a crosswalk. Despite the absence of markings, drivers are still required to yield to pedestrians who are crossing the road. This is because pedestrians have the right of way in such situations to ensure their safety. Therefore, the statement "Drivers must yield to pedestrians in an unmarked crosswalk" is true.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation

Speed should be reduced below the posted speed limit for which of the following reasons?
- A.
  
  Driver is driving in unfavorable weather conditions.
- B.
  
  Driver is approaching and crossing an intersection.
- C.
  
  Both of the above.
Correct Answer
C. Both of the above.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Both of the above." This means that the speed should be reduced below the posted speed limit for both driving in unfavorable weather conditions and approaching and crossing an intersection. In unfavorable weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or fog, reducing speed can help maintain control of the vehicle and prevent accidents. When approaching and crossing an intersection, reducing speed allows the driver to have better visibility and reaction time, reducing the risk of collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.

Slow vehicles should use the left-hand lane except when passing or making a left turn?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Slow vehicles should use the right-hand lane, not the left-hand lane, except when passing or making a left turn. This is because slower vehicles should stay to the right to allow faster vehicles to pass them safely on the left. By doing so, it helps to maintain a smooth flow of traffic and prevents congestion. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Explanation
A driver must slow down for a school zone on school days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. when children are present and signs are posted. This is because during these times, there is a higher likelihood of children being present in the area due to school hours. The signs posted serve as a reminder for drivers to reduce their speed and be cautious in order to ensure the safety of the children. Slowing down in a school zone helps to minimize the risk of accidents and allows for better reaction time if a child unexpectedly enters the roadway.

What is the only effective way to remove alcohol from the body?
- A.
  
  Strong coffee
- B.
  
  Time
- C.
  
  Cold shower
Correct Answer
B. Time

Explanation
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at a constant rate, and no method can speed up this process. Time is the only effective way to remove alcohol from the body as it allows the liver to break it down and eliminate it through urine and breath. Strong coffee may make a person feel more alert, but it does not accelerate the elimination of alcohol. Similarly, a cold shower may temporarily make a person feel more awake, but it does not affect the body's ability to metabolize alcohol.

When approaching a traffic control signal that is not in operation, the driver should come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection. This is because when a traffic signal is not functioning, it is treated as a four-way stop intersection. Coming to a full stop allows the driver to assess the situation and ensure that it is safe to proceed. Yielding the right-of-way ensures that the driver gives priority to any vehicles that arrived at the intersection before them.

If a traffic light shows both a red light and a green arrow, a driver may not turn in the direction of the arrow until the red light has changed.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
If a traffic light shows both a red light and a green arrow, a driver may not turn in the direction of the arrow until the red light has changed. This statement is false because when a green arrow is displayed along with a red light, it indicates that drivers are allowed to turn in the direction of the arrow even if the red light is still on. The green arrow specifically gives permission to make the turn, overriding the red light signal.

A railroad crossbuck sign should be treated the same as a yield sign.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
A railroad crossbuck sign should be treated the same as a yield sign because both indicate that drivers must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic. When approaching a railroad crossbuck sign, drivers must slow down, look for trains, and yield before proceeding. Similarly, when approaching a yield sign, drivers must slow down, check for oncoming traffic, and yield if necessary before entering the intersection. Both signs require drivers to prioritize the safety of themselves and others on the road.
