When merging in a situation similar to this one, it is important to:
- A.
Put your blinker on to notify oncoming traffic that you are about to change lanes.
- B.
Change lanes quickly and as soon as the lane opens up so you don't run out of roadway ahead of you.
- C.
Watch the oncoming traffic as you approach, check your mirrors, and check your blind spots before making a decision to merge.
- D.
Accelerate as fast as you can to get up to speed with the oncoming traffic.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Put your blinker on to notify oncoming traffic that you are about to change lanes.
C. Watch the oncoming traffic as you approach, check your mirrors, and check your blind spots before making a decision to merge.Explanation
Sometimes it is necessary to use the full length of the lane that is merging when there is traffic in the desired lane, so changing quickly is not always an option. Accelerating as fast as possible is not always necessary to merge, and it is certainly not safe in many instances like when there is snow on the roadway.Rate this question:

Most rear end collisions are caused by the vehicle in back following too closely. Under ideal conditions, how far behind another vehicle should you be?
- A.
3-4 feet
- B.
3-4 car lengths
- C.
3-4 seconds
- D.
3-4 inches
Correct Answer
C. 3-4 secondsExplanation
To avoid rear-end collisions, it is important to maintain a safe following distance. The correct answer is 3-4 seconds. This means that you should keep a time interval of 3-4 seconds between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. This allows you enough time to react and stop safely in case the vehicle in front suddenly brakes or slows down. Following too closely, such as 3-4 feet or inches, does not provide enough time to react and can lead to accidents.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Check your blind spot.
B. Check your mirrors.
D. Put on your left blinker.Explanation
Before changing lanes one should always check their mirrors and blind spots to look for possible hazards. Blinkers should always be used to signal a change in position so the vehicles around you will be aware of your lateral movement. Do not change lanes too quickly to avoid surprising other drivers or losing control.Rate this question:

- C.
You should stay in your lane in case a semi wants to pass you
- D.
Speed up so you are not next to them for long
Correct Answer
B. You should change lanes to give the car more roomExplanation
When passing a car stranded on the side of the road, it's safest to change lanes if possible to give the stranded car more room. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures the safety of both the stranded vehicle's occupants and passing drivers. Stopping to direct traffic is not advisable unless you are trained and it is absolutely necessary, and staying in your lane or speeding up can increase the risk of a collision.Rate this question:

- A.
3-4 car lengths
- B.
Close enough so you can see into their back seat
- C.
Touching their bumper
- D.
Far enough back so you can see their tires touch the ground
Correct Answer
D. Far enough back so you can see their tires touch the groundExplanation
When stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, it is important to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. Being far enough back so you can see their tires touch the ground allows for a sufficient buffer zone in case the car in front suddenly rolls back or if you need to maneuver around it. This distance also provides better visibility of the road ahead, enabling you to react quickly to any potential hazards or changes in traffic conditions.Rate this question:

- C.
Slam on the brakes as fast as you can.
- D.
Give them the one fingered wave.
Correct Answer
A. Let your foot off the accelerator and cover the brake in the event that you need to slow down.Explanation
The best option here is to cover the brake. There is still plenty of room between you and the car, and you are only going about 40 mph. Slamming on the brakes would be inappropriate because a car behind you may not be anticipating your immediate stop, and the car in front of you will be out of the way in an ideal situation.Rate this question:

What roadway surfaces remain icy after the rest of the roadway is clear? (check all that apply)
- A.
Bridges
- B.
Over passes
- C.
The side of the road
- D.
Shaded areas
Correct Answer(s)
