You should drive with your headlights on

At all times

About three out of every four pedestrians who lose their lives in a motor vehicle collision are killed

At locations other than a crosswalk

You need to ensure your tires always

Both A and B

On a road with three lanes in the same direction, drivers should travel on the

If your engine stalls or stops while driving, you should

Both safely steer to the shoulder and be prepared for the steering wheel to be harder to turn

A person blank be charged with an impaired driving offense because of the effects of prescription medications

Could

A driver blank be charged with alcohol impaired driving with a blood alcohol level below .08%

Can

Head restraints should be positioned such that blank of the head restraint is slightly above the top of the ear

Center

If you begin to experience a skid, the best response is to

Continue to look and steer where you want the vehicle to go

Alcohol blank the body's central nervous system

Depresses

To reduce your risk when faced with an aggressive or enraged driver your best move is to

Drive to a public place such as a police or fire station

At roundabout intersections

Drivers can move through the intersection with greater ease than through a traditional intersection

Alcohol

Is a drug

You should wear a safety belt

Every time you drive

Compared to the number of collisions at traditional intersections, blank collisions occur in roundabout intersections

Fewer

AAA recommends that you replace your tires after

Five years

If you find yourself unintentionally driving partially off the roadway, you should

Gradually coast down to a slow speed, then pull back on the road when safe to do so

With your headlights on, your visibility to other drivers is

Greater

While driving on a two lane highway, your right front tire suddenly blows out. You should

Grip the steering wheel firmly and slow down without applying the brakes

Lane departure warning systems help drivers by

Helping drivers avoid drfting into adjacent lanes

Blank is one of three key factors that affect how fast you should drive at any point along the roadway

How much traction your tires have on the road surface

Blank is one of the three key factors that affect how fast you should drive at any point along the roadway

How well you can see the traffic environment

When your vehicle's tires lose traction by riding up on a film of water, this is called

Hydroplaning

If you suspect a nearby driver is distracted, your first response should be to

Immediately establish more space between you and that driver

You should blank around motorcycles because their riders are more vulnerable to injury

Increase space

Compared to following a full size passenger vehicle, when following a motorcycle your following distance should be

Longer

When another vehicle is following you too closely (tailgating) reduce your risk by

Maintaining a speed until the vehicle is able to safely pass you

When being tailgated by another vehicle you should

Make it easier for the driver to pass you

A drug

May affect a person differently each time it is used

As you are driving on an undivided highway, you approach a school bus that is stopped and has red lights flashing. You

May not pass until the school bus driver turns off the flashing lights

Driver's bodies blank give drivers advance warning before falling asleep behind the wheel such as by yawning or nodding off

May or may not

A larger drink will contain blank alcohol and result in a blank blood alcohol level than a smaller drink of the same alcohol strength

More; higher

The term blank refers to a skid where the rear wheels have lost traction

Oversteer

Two out of every three intersection collisions between a passenger car and a motorcycle are a result of a blank violating a blank right of way

Passenger car, motorcycle's

Electronic Stability Control Systems help drivers by

Retaining traction during hard cornering maneuvers

Another driver verbally attacking you would be considered

Road Rage

Blank occurs when a driver uses the vehicle or some other weapon to threaten or cause harm to another roadway user

Road rage

When coming to a stop behind another vehicle, you should stop far enough behind the vehicle to

See the vehicles rear tires plus some pavement

If you experience unintended acceleration or the accelerator pedal sticks you shpuld

Shift to neutral and apply the breaks

When you detect an emergency vehicle approaching from behind you, you...

Should pull over to a stop on the side of the road

Your speed in the rain should be blank than your speed on the same section of roadway in clear and dry conditions

Slower

In clear, dry road conditions, a good rule of thumb for a safe following distance is to

Stay back at least 3-4 seconds

When driving one of your goals should be to never cause another driver to

Steer around you

The most common mistake made when the right tire moves off the right side of the pavement is

Steering rapidly to the left to move the right tires back onto the roadway

Consuming two or more drugs at the same time can have a blank effect, where the combined effects are greater than their sum

Synergistic

Blank may help prevent a driver from falling asleep behind the wheel

Taking regular breaks

Blank is one of the three key factors that affect how fast you should drive at any point along the roadway

The amount of traffic around you

The risk of a car-motorcycle collision is particularly high at intersections where crashes commonly involve

The driver of a passenger vehicle turning left in front of a motorcycle

The term blank refers to a skid where the front wheels have lost traction

Understeer

In a skid, slamming on the brakes will

Upset the vehicle's balance and make it harder to regain control

When driving, one of your goals should be to never cause another driver to

Use their breaks

To minimize restrictions in visibility in rainy conditions you should

Use your windshield wipers

A tire's inflation pressure is best tested by

Using a tire pressure gauge

The posted speed limit provides drivers with information about

What your maximum speed can be in clear, dry, traffic free conditions

To maximize safety, you should replace your tires

When they have worn down to 4/32 of an inch of tread depth

Having your headlights on during the day

Will make you more visible to oncoming drivers

On a two-lane road, the blank lines should be on your left and the blank should be on your right

Yellow, White

Hydroplaning means that

Your tires are riding up on top of a film of water

BAC stands for

blood alcohol concentration
