Driving too slowly on a freeway can be a hazard. Most states have minimum speeds (typically 40 mph) and require slow drivers to use the right lane.

White-on-black or black-on-white rectangles are regulatory: they communicate laws you must obey (speed limits, no parking, one-way).

A Locks your wheels for faster stops B Prevents wheels from locking during hard braking C Replaces normal brakes D Activates only on highways Explanation.

A Only when other vehicles are present B At least 100 feet before turning or changing lanes C Only on highways D When you arrive at an intersection Explanation.

Question 14 of 20 The "two-second rule" or "three-second rule" measures: A Reaction time only B Following distance C Maximum speed D Time to brake Explanation. Both rules measure following distance — the time gap between you and the vehicle ahead. Three seconds is the modern recommendation.

You should: A Maintain your speed because you are within the legal limit B Reduce your speed to a safe level for conditions C Use your high beams to see better D Stop in the right lane until the fog clears Explanation. The basic speed law requires you to drive at a speed reasonable for conditions. Visibility is the key factor — slow down significantly in fog. Question 18 of 20 A pennant-shaped sign on the LEFT side of the road tells you: A You are entering a no-passing zone B A construction zone is ending C The road is about to curve sharply D A school zone is ahead Explanation.
