loss (TPL) except: correct answer Pump pressure loss.
All of the following statements about approaching an intersection are true except:
correct answer True- you should always drive at a speed where you can come to a
stop, if necessary, even if it slows you down.
True- you should make eye contact with other drivers to make sure that they see
you.
