When driving in fog, you should use:

Always use low beam lights in fog. High beams reflect off the moisture in the air, creating a glare that makes it harder to see.
At an uncontrolled intersection, the rule is:
Right yields to left.
Left yields to right.
First to honk goes.
Speed up to cross.
At an uncontrolled intersection, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. Always reduce speed and be ready to stop.
What does this sign represent?
Sharp curve ahead.
Winding road ahead.
Sharp turn ahead.
Slippery road ahead.
This sign warns of a sharp 90-degree turn where you must slow down significantly. A regular curve sign would show a more gradual, rounded arrow.

6 hours.
3 hours.
50 hours.

If you are in a truck's "side no-zone," the driver:
Can see you perfectly.
Will flash their lights.

6 months.
1 year.
2 years.
5 years.
A hit-and-run involving bodily injury for a first offense leads to a mandatory 1-year license suspension, plus heavy fines and potential jail time.
How far before a turn should you signal?
100 feet.
50 feet.
200 feet.

You must signal at least 100 feet before turning. This gives other drivers behind you enough time to react.

Advisory speed signs are used with warning signs when the safe speed for a curve or turn is lower than the posted speed limit.

Pump the brake pedal.
Turn off the engine.
Shift to neutral gear.
