Ch 11-13

Why should you stay out of the open space to the right of a tractor-semitrailer?

• It is illegal to drive there.

• You cannot see in the lane ahead.

• It can stop in a shorter distance than your vehicle can.

• It makes wide right turns.

When passing a large truck, return to the right lane when you can see

• The front of the truck in the rearview mirror.

• The truck in the left outside mirror.

• The lane ahead is clear.

• The truck in the right outside mirror.

Motorcyclists can make themselves more visible at night by

• Putting reflective tape on their helmet and clothing.

• Driving in the center of the lane.

• Using high beams most of the time.

• Driving at slower speeds.

Why are motorcyclists often difficult to see behind your vehicle?

• The relatively small size of the motorcycle is lost in your blind-spot area.

• They deliberately hide behind you.

• They are tailgating.

• You are concentrating on the path of travel.

To make sure that a motorcycle is not in your blind spot, before turning or changing lanes you should

• Check the outside mirrors.

• Signal by flashing the brake lights.

• Glance over your shoulder.

• Check the rearview mirrors.

If an emergency vehicle is approaching, you should?

• Flash your headlights to alert the driver ahead.

• Stop immediately.

• Pull as far to the right as possible.

• Go through the intersection quickly.

When a person leaves a vehicle, he/she becomes

• A visual obstruction to others.

• Able to avoid other vehicles.

• Protected by other vehicles.

• A pedestrian.

What makes it difficult for drivers of other vehicles to judge a motorcycle's speed and distance?

• The size of the motorcycle's taillights

• Their vehicle's size.

• The motorcycle's position on the roadway.

• The motorcycle's smaller size

Children are at the greatest risk of injury:

• Around school buses that are loading or unloading.

• In crosswalks.

• Around trucks.

• Just before nightfall.

As the driver of a vehicle, you should:

• Honk your horn at bicyclists to tell them to stay away.

• Pass by getting close to a bicyclist.

• Flash your lights at a bicyclist so he will move over.

• Never tailgate a bicyclist before passing.
