1. While driving on a multi-lane highway, you notice the vehicle behind you is following dangerously
closely. What is the safest action to take?
A) Speed up to increase the distance
B) Tap your brakes repeatedly to warn them
C) Move into the lane to your right
D) Maintain your speed and ignore them
Moving right allows the tailgater to pass, reducing collision risk and preventing road rage.

ahead. How should you adjust your speed?
A) Drive at the posted speed limit regardless
B) Drive slowly enough to stop within the area lit by your headlights
C) Use high beams and maintain normal speed
D) Speed up to exit the dark area quickly

3. During winter weather, which part of the road is most likely to freeze first and become
dangerously slippery?
A) Open straight sections of asphalt
B) Bridges and overpasses
C) Roads with heavy sand or salt treatment
D) Tunnel entrances
Bridges and overpasses freeze first because cold air circulates above and below them, lowering
temperature faster than ground-level roads.

A) Enter immediately if you signal
B) Honk to alert drivers inside
C) Yield to traffic already in the roundabout and enter from the right
D) Stop completely and wait for it to empty

B) Exchange insurance information inside the roadway
C) Move your vehicle out of the traffic lane, if possible

Who must you yield to?
A) Only pedestrians in the crosswalk
B) Only oncoming vehicles turning right

pedestrian collisions.

consent law) in Louisiana?
A) A fine of $500
B) Suspension of driving privileges for 365 days

A) Snow reduces tire traction for braking only
B) It takes more time to stop on icy roads than on dry roads
C) Your headlights are less effective
D) Other drivers expect you to follow closer
Icy surfaces reduce friction dramatically, requiring longer stopping distances; extra space
compensates.

should you start your turn?
A) The middle lane
B) The lane closest to the right curb
C) The lane closest to the left curb
