Not quite. The answer is ease your foot off the gas and carefully steer in the direction of the skid.

If you find yourself in a skid, remain calm, ease your foot off the gas, and carefully steer in the direction of the skid. Avoid braking, especially if your car is not equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). This procedure, known as “steering into the skid,” will bring the rear end of your car into line with the front.

Not quite. The answer is revoked

If you refuse to submit to chemical testing after being involved in a crash that resulted in personal injury or death, your license will be revoked for at least one year. Revocation is more serious than suspension in that you will need to reapply for a license and only after you are deemed eligible to do so.

Not quite. The answer is the steering wheel.

The most important vehicle control device to use in a skid is the steering wheel. If your rear wheels start to skid left, steer left; if they start to skid right, steer right. When you feel that the vehicle is back under your control, straighten the front wheels.

Not quite. The answer is check for approaching traffic and give a left-turn signal.

Not quite. The answer is Stop and yield to pedestrians and traffic.

You must stop before entering the road from an alley, driveway, building, or private road. You must come to a complete stop before entering the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, you must stop before the roadway. You must then yield to all traffic and pedestrians before proceeding.

Not quite. The answer is adjust your speed and vehicle position to allow the traffic to merge.

If traffic from another roadway is merging onto the roadway you are traveling on, adjust your speed and vehicle position to allow the traffic to merge safely.

Not quite. The answer is None of the above

When you change lanes, you must signal and check your mirrors. However, your car has blind spots that are large enough to completely hide another car in the lane next to yours. The only way to check these blind spots is to look over your shoulder.

Not quite. The answer is Back up quickly, turning your steering wheel to the left to aim the back of your vehicle toward the front of the vehicle behind you.

The steps in parallel parking are as follows: Put on your turn signal to warn other drivers that you intend to park. Signal and stop with the back of your vehicle even with the back of the vehicle in front of the parking space. Back up slowly, turning your steering wheel to the right to aim the back of your car toward the front of the one behind you. As the front of your car clears the back of the car in front of you, turn your steering wheel sharply to the left and continue backing slowly until the back of your car almost touches the car behind you. Straighten your wheels and pull forward to center your vehicle in the parking space. Put your transmission in park (for an automatic) or in first gear or reverse (for a manual). Set the parking brake.

Not quite. The answer is as much as four times.

While you are driving, talking on a cell phone will increase your chances of being in a crash by as much as four times. This is because the conversation is drawing your attention away from your driving. Sending text messages (texting) while driving will increase your chances of being in a crash by as much as eight times.

Not quite. The answer is do all of the above.

In preparing to leave a parallel parking spot, you should look over your shoulder as well as in the rear-view mirror. Then wait until the way is clear before pulling into traffic. You should indicate your intention by signaling, enter into traffic in the nearest lane, and remain in that lane until it is safe to change into another lane.

Not quite. The answer is $500.

If you are involved in an accident involving an uninsured vehicle and which results in at least $500 in property damage, you must file a crash report.

Not quite. The answer is 30 minutes

According to Illinois law, you have no more than 30 minutes to report a crash after it occurs. If you do not do so, you will be considered leaving the scene of an accident, which is a criminal offense.

Not quite. The answer is look toward the right edge of the road

If a car approaches you with bright headlights on, do not stare at the lights. Steer by the line at the outer edge of the road to prevent being temporarily blinded.

Not quite. The answer is stop and yield the right of way to the pedestrian.

You must yield the right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks or intersections.

Not quite. The answer is Low-beam headlights

High beams reflect off rain, fog, and falling snow, which will make it even harder for you to see where you are going. For better visibility in these conditions, keep your vehicle's headlights on low beam.

Not quite. The answer is get out of the way.

Aggressive driving is the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property. If the driver behind you repeatedly flashes his or her headlights, you should not retaliate or in any way engage the other driver. Get out of the way.

Not quite. The answer is $50,000

Illinois requires every vehicle driven within the state to be covered by an automobile insurance policy that includes at least $50,000 of coverage for multiple serious injuries or deaths in a crash.

Not quite. The answer is Do all of the above.

If you are involved in a crash that causes damage to an unattended vehicle (no driver or passenger is present) or other property, you must stop your vehicle in an area away from traffic and leave your name, address, phone number, and license plate number on the vehicle or property. If you cannot find the owner, notify the police and complete all required crash reports.
