Not quite. The answer is Car A must yield because it is turning left.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

It is illegal for a minor between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one to be in possession of alcohol, consuming alcohol, attempting to purchase or purchasing alcohol, or having a BAC of 0.02% or greater.

Not quite. The answer is brake immediately.

If you experience a blowout, hold the steering wheel tightly, steer straight ahead, and slowly ease your foot off the accelerator. Don't brake immediately; you might lock the wheels and lose control. Brake gently only after the vehicle is back under your control. Pull the vehicle completely off the road at the nearest safe location.

Not quite. The answer is toward the right edge of your lane.

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their high beams, you should avoid looking directly at the lights. Instead, glance toward the right edge of your lane and use the white line or road edge as a guide. This helps protect your eyes from the glare and allows you to maintain proper lane positioning. Staring straight ahead or toward the center of the road can result in temporary blindness from the glare, increasing the risk of an accident.

Not quite. The answer is submission to chemical testing for alcohol or drug use.

Driving on Minnesota's public roads implies consent to be chemically tested for alcohol or drug use.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above.

Once you drink alcohol, it enters your bloodstream and starts affecting all of your bodily processes, such as coordination, self-control, and reaction time. The only "cure" to alcohol's affect on your brain is to wait until it exits your bloodstream.

Not quite. The answer is obey the usual legal speed limit.

Not quite. The answer is one vehicle length.

When stopped behind another vehicle on a hill, you should stay back about one vehicle length. If you are too close to the vehicle, it may roll back into your vehicle when it starts.

Not quite. The answer is tailgating.

Keep a safe distance from other vehicles on the road to give you plenty of time to react to the unexpected. Tailgating refers to following too closely behind a vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is Never

Various signals (flashing lights, bells, or gates) are used to indicate that a train is approaching or passing. You are never allowed to ignore these signals and cross anyway.

If you are in the right lane, leave room for vehicles entering the freeway. The right lane should remain open for traffic entering and leaving the freeway as much as possible.

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

If you see a vehicle coming toward you in your lane, brake hard, sound your horn, flash your headlights, and veer as far to the right as you safely can. Don't try to veer to your left. The other driver may suddenly realize his or her mistake and return to his or her proper lane.

Not quite. The answer is Only if the doctor says it won't affect safe driving
