Adverse Weather - Theory Review

When driving in adverse weather conditions you should

• A. continue to drive the posted speed limit and maintain a 2 second following distance.

• B. leave earlier for your destination and use your low beam headlights.

• C. slow down and increase your following distance to three or more seconds.

• both B and C.

If you are driving under adverse conditions or if you need more time to complete the IPDE process, your following distance should be

• two seconds

• equal to your stopping distance.

• the same as that of other traffic.

• 3 seconds or more.

When driving in snow, you should use

• low-beam headlights and reduce speed.

• low-beam headlights and drive at the posted speed

• high-beam headlights and reduce speed.

• high-beam headlights and drive at the posted speed.

Overdriving headlights means

• using low-beam rather than high-beam lights.

• your stopping distance is greater than the distance lighted by your lights.

• you are looking too far ahead.

• using overdrive gear when using high-beam headlights.

If the rear of your vehicle skids to the right, you should

• steer to the right.

• steer straight ahead.

• steer to the left.

• swerve both left and right.

If an oncoming driver fails to use low-beam headlights after you switch to your low-beam headlights, you should

• slow down and glance at the right edge of the roadway.

• look through the oncoming headlights.

• use your sun visor.

• look at the oncoming headlights.

If you are driving into sun glare from bright sunlight, you can reduce glare and eyestrain by

• applying dark tint to the windows.

• using sunglasses and the sun visor.

• keeping vehicle interior lights on.

• using the defroster or air conditioner.

If you use high-beam headlights in snow, rain, or fog, you will have

• more time to react to hazards.

• a better chance of seeing hazards.

• better long-range vision.

• more light reflected back in your eyes.
