12. Which way should you turn your wheels when parking facing uphill where there is a curb? Which way should you turn them where there is not a curb?

When parking on hills: • Turn your wheels so that if your car starts to move, it will roll away from traffic or into the curb. Study the diagram provided. • Set the parking brake. • Place automatic gear shift in park. Shift manual gears to reverse (downhill) or first (uphill). • Turn vehicle off.

10. Where is it unlawful to overtake and pass?

You may not pass on a two-lane road with traffic moving in opposite directions under these conditions: • Where you see a "DO NOT PASS" or "NO PASSING ZONE" sign. The prohibition of passing in a no-Pass- ing zone does not apply when an ob- struction exists making it necessary to drive to the left of the center of the highway [s 316.0875(3) F.S.]. Thus, when a cyclist is traveling so slowly as to constitute an "obstruction," a motorist may cross the center line in a no-passing zone if the way is clear to do so, i.e., when it can be seen that oncoming traffic is far enough away the pass may be completed before coming within 200 feet of an oncom- ing vehicle. • Where a solid yellow line is painted on your side of the center line. • On hills or curves, and at intersections. • Within 100 feet of a bridge, viaduct, tunnel, or railroad crossing. Vio- lators may be arrested or issued a ticket.

6. If you approach a red light and a traffic officer directs you to go through the intersection without stopping, what should you do?

16. Within how many feet of an oncoming vehicle should you dim your bright headlights?

• Don't use high-beam headlights within 500 feet of oncoming vehicles.

17. When driving in the rain, fog, or smoke in the daytime, what lights do you turn use?

• Drive with lights on low beam. High beams will only be reflected back off the fog and actually impair visibility even more. Your lights help other drivers see your vehicle, so be sure they all work. Keep your windshield and headlights clean, to reduce the glare and increase visibility.

15. When approaching another vehicle from the rear at night, within how many feet must you dim your bright headlights?

• If you are behind other vehicles, use low beams when you are within 300 feet of the vehicle ahead.

14. At what times should you use your headlights?

• Use your headlights (low beam or high beam) between the hours of sunset and sunrise.
