When driving in heavy rain, you should turn on your headlights because:
Answer: It helps you see the road better and makes your vehicle visible to other drivers
Alabama law requires headlights to be used whenever windshield wipers are in use due to rain, fog, or other conditions. Headlights improve your own visibility and make your vehicle conspicuous to others, reducing the risk of collisions.
At an intersection with a flashing yellow traffic signal, you must:
Answer: Slow down and proceed with caution after yielding to cross traffic
A flashing yellow light is a warning signal. You do not need to stop, but you must slow down and proceed carefully, yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic. It differs from a flashing red, which requires a full stop.
When you are about to be passed by another vehicle, you should:
Answer: Stay in your lane and maintain your speed or slow down slightly
When being passed, you should hold your position in your lane without speeding up. Maintaining or slightly reducing your speed makes the pass safer and shorter, reducing the time both vehicles spend in a potentially dangerous situation.
A solid white line painted along the edge of the roadway indicates:
Answer: The boundary of the travel lane and the shoulder or parking area
A solid white line at the right edge of the road marks the boundary between the travel lane and the shoulder or parking area. It helps drivers stay within the road surface, especially in low-visibility conditions.
If your vehicle starts to skid on a slippery surface, you should:
Answer: Take your foot off the gas and steer gently in the direction you want the vehicle to go
When skidding, the correct response is to ease off the accelerator and steer gently in the direction you want to travel. Sudden braking or oversteering can worsen the skid and cause loss of control.
When parking facing downhill next to a curb, you should turn your front wheels:
Answer: To the right, toward the curb, so the car will roll into the curb if it moves
When parking downhill with a curb, turn your wheels to the right (toward the curb). If the vehicle rolls forward, the curb will stop it. This is a basic safety precaution required on any downgrade where a curb is present.
