When driving to an unfamiliar area, you:

Should plan your trip in advance.

When driving to an unfamiliar area, plan your trip in advance. Don’t start with only a hazy idea of where you are going. If your destination is in an unfamiliar area, check the location on a map before you start to drive.

Increasing your vehicle’s speed:

Decreases your field of vision.

The faster you drive, the smaller your field of vision becomes. As your speed increases and your field of vision decreases, you must be extra alert to potential hazards.

While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Slow down and wait until there is no traffic approaching, then pass the bicyclist while leaving him or her sufficient space.

You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

When riding in a vehicle, small children:

Must never be allowed to ride while standing in the vehicle.

Special child seats are available for children who are too small to wear regular safety belts. No person is strong enough to safely hold onto a child of any size during an accident or sudden stop. Never allow a child to ride in a vehicle unless they are properly fastened into a seat.

When passing a large vehicle, the driver of a small vehicle must be prepared for:

Wind gusts produced by the large vehicle.

Large vehicles can cause wind gusts with a force great enough to cause direction changes in smaller vehicles. Drivers of small vehicles should be prepared to take proper corrective steering action when approaching or passing large vehicles that are moving at or near maximum speeds.

If you miss your exit on an interstate expressway:

Get off at the next exit and come back to the exit you missed.

If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up or try to turn around on the highway. Go to the next exit and safely turn around.

To keep your vehicle from being struck from behind:

Keep pace with surrounding traffic.

It is a good idea to match the pace of surrounding traffic, within the legal speed limit. Driving with the flow of traffic keeps traffic moving and helps prevent rear-end collisions.

Worn or bald tires:

All of the above.

Worn or bald tires can increase your stopping distance and make turning more difficult. Tires without adequate tread also increase the risk of hydroplaning.

When driving in bad weather, drivers should:

Increase their following distance.

Increase your following distance.

Increase your following distance in low-visibility situations. It will be more difficult to see what the car in front of you is doing and you may need extra time to react.

vehicles from either direction to make a left turn.

This lane must not be used for passing. It may be entered only to make the turn. Vehicles from either direction may use the lane immediately prior to making a left turn.
