Correct answer: Sharply to the right, so the car would roll away from the flow of traffic

Facing uphill without a curb, turn your wheels sharply to the right. If the car should roll, it will roll away from the traffic flow.

Correct answer: Within six inches of the curb, then brace the wheels against it

To park on a hill, parallel park but stop within six inches of the curb, brace the wheels against the curb, set the parking brake and put the car in the proper gear.

Correct answer: The bus is on a different roadway or you are approaching in the opposite direction on a divided highway

You don’t have to stop when the bus is on a different roadway, when it is stopped in a loading zone on a controlled-access highway where pedestrians can’t cross, or when you are approaching traffic on a divided highway.

Correct answer: The area where responders, law enforcement, or tow operators are working to manage and clear a roadway incident

Correct answer: About 6 inches of fast-moving water

Just 6 inches of water may be enough to make you lose control of your vehicle, and 6 inches of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet. Respect the force of the water.

Correct answer: About 500 pounds of lateral force

For each foot the water rises, about 500 pounds of lateral force are applied to the car, and the car displaces 1,500 pounds of water — effectively weighing 1,500 pounds less for each foot the water rises. That is why cars float and wash away so easily.

Correct answer: Bear to the right

The diagonal stripes on a warning sign or barricade show the direction traffic is to pass. Stripes sloping downward to the right mean bear to the right; sloping downward to the left mean bear to the left.

Correct answer: A reflective orange triangle marking vehicles that travel at 25 mph or less

Correct answer: At intersections — wait until the rider's intentions are absolutely clear before moving into the path of travel

Most motorcycle collisions and injuries occur at intersections. Wait until the rider's intentions are absolutely clear — turning or going straight — before you move into the path of travel.

Correct answer: Not move into the open space on the truck's right or try to pass it

Trucks make wide right turns and often leave an open space on the right. Do not move into that space or try to pass a truck that may be turning right; if you are between the truck and the curb, the driver may not see you and your car can be crushed.

Correct answer: Within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail

When a warning signal, lowered gate, flagman or approaching train is present, you must stop within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail, and not proceed until you can do so safely.
