If an emergency vehicle with red flashing lights or using a siren is moving in your lane, you are required to

• increase your speed and clear the lane

• pull over to the curb and stop

• proceed at normal speed

This sign shows the location

• a handicapped parking area

• an interstate highway

• a hospital service

• a hill area

When there is water on the roadway, you must reduce your speed to avoid

• hydroplaning

• overheating of the tires

• wear and tear

• traction of the tires on the road

While preparing to turn left at an intersection, you see an oncoming vehicle. You should

• warn the oncoming vehicle to stop

• move into the adjacent lane

• move onto the shoulder of the road and yield the right-of-way

• yield the right-of-way on the oncoming vehicle

When driving on gravel or dirt, you must slow down because

• you do not have much traction

• it is unpleasant to drive fast

If you are driving at a slower speed than other traffic on a highway or freeway, stay in the lane

• farthest from the shoulder of the road

• make a left turn to merge into the traffic

• stop and make a right turn to merge into the traffic

• yield the right-of-way to other traffic

• do none of the above

This green traffic signal indicates that

• the vehicles on the road must come to a complete stop and make a right turn at the intersection

• the vehicles on the road are allowed through the intersection

• the vehicles must stop at the intersection and proceed with caution

• the vehicles on the road must not proceed through the intersection
