Correct answer: Not remove alcohol from your system

Nothing speeds up sobering — coffee, fresh air, cold showers, and eating will not remove alcohol from the circulatory system. Only time works.

Correct answer: Avoid it in the first place by not driving too fast for conditions

Skids happen when you drive too fast for conditions, stop too suddenly, or the tires lose grip. Since you cannot control a skidding vehicle, the best strategy is to avoid the skid in the first place.

Correct answer: 25 hours of supervised driving

A 15-year-old applicant must complete 25 hours of supervised driving and an approved driver’s education course. A 16-year-old applicant instead needs 50 hours (with 10 at night).

Correct answer: No closer than 20 feet

You may not park within 20 feet of a fire station driveway entrance (or within 75 feet of the entrance on the opposite side of the street), keeping the path clear for emergency vehicles.

Correct answer: Yield to them — you must always stop for pedestrians

You must yield to pedestrians at all times. Even if they are jaywalking or crossing where they should not be, you must stop for them.

Correct answer: The parking brake is set

Make sure the parking brake is set before you start the vehicle. This is part of the basic starting routine covered in the manual.

Correct answer: Have the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities as a driver

Bicyclists are considered vehicles on the roadway and have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. Be alert for them and be extra careful when approaching.

Correct answer: Stop — you may not go in the direction of the arrow until it changes

A red arrow means you must stop and may not proceed in the direction of the arrow until a green arrow or green light returns on the signal.

Correct answer: A two-second following distance

Use the two-second rule to measure a safe following distance under prime conditions. Under adverse conditions, use a four-second following rule.

Correct answer: Stay in the right lane except when passing

On a road with two or more lanes going the same direction, stay in the right lane except to pass. On roads with three or more lanes, use the center travel lane, especially in heavy traffic.

Correct answer: With the first drink

Impairment starts with the first drink. Even one drink can affect a person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle, and they could be arrested for driving under the influence.

Correct answer: Rapidly pump the brake pedal several times

If your brakes fail, rapidly pump the pedal several times to try to build up pressure. If that fails, use the parking brake slowly and look for a safe place to stop.

Correct answer: 10 hours at night

A 16-year-old applicant must complete 50 hours of supervised driving, with at least 10 of those hours at night, before qualifying for the lesser-restricted 16-17 privileges.

Correct answer: Sharply toward the curb or edge of the road

When parking downhill, turn your wheels sharply toward the curb or road edge. If the vehicle rolls, the curb blocks it and it rolls away from traffic.

Correct answer: Always give them the right-of-way and avoid using your horn

Pedestrians using a guide dog or carrying a white cane must always be given the right-of-way. Do not use your horn, as it could confuse or frighten the visually impaired pedestrian or guide dog.

Correct answer: Check your mirrors for traffic behind you

Check your mirrors for traffic before you slow or stop, especially where a following driver would not expect you to slow, such as near a driveway or parking space.

Correct answer: Slow down and allow as much space as possible

Slow down and give a bicyclist as much room as possible when passing. Do not pass a bicyclist right before making a right turn — let them clear the intersection first.

Correct answer: Yellow and diamond-shaped with black lettering or symbols

Warning signs are usually yellow and diamond-shaped with black lettering or symbols. Some, such as school and pedestrian crossings, may be fluorescent yellow-green.

Correct answer: Four seconds

Under adverse conditions use a four-second following rule. Increase your following distance even more when following buses, delivery vans, or in bad weather.

Correct answer: Passing slower vehicles

On multi-lane roads, the left-most lane is intended to be used for passing slower vehicles.

Correct answer: It can blur vision, slow focus, and cause double vision

Alcohol can blur your vision, slow your ability to focus, and cause double vision. It also reduces your ability to judge distance and speed; vision is impacted at .02 BAC for all drivers.

Correct answer: Use the parking brake slowly, ready to release it if the vehicle skids

If pumping does not work, apply the parking brake slowly so you do not lock the rear wheels and skid. Be ready to release it if the vehicle begins to skid, and find a safe place to stop.

Correct answer: No non-sibling minor passengers may ride in the vehicle

A 15-year-old restricted-license holder may not carry non-sibling minor passengers and may not use a wireless device while driving. Their driving is also limited to specific purposes such as school, work, and religious activity.

Correct answer: Turn the wheels away from the curb and let the vehicle roll back until a tire touches the curb

Parking uphill with a curb, turn the wheels away from the curb and let the vehicle roll back so the tire rests against the curb. If it rolls, it rolls away from traffic.

Correct answer: Immediately drive to the right and stop until it has passed

Emergency vehicles have the right-of-way when displaying a red light in front or sounding a siren. Immediately drive to the right and stop without blocking any intersection until they have passed. Never follow such vehicles.
