Not quite. The answer is stop driving or have someone else drive.

Not quite. The answer is Slow down and let the vehicle pass first.

Sometimes you need to deal with hazards one at a time. If you are about to pass a bicycle and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass first so that you can leave more room for the bicycle. Then move to the left to give yourself plenty of room to pass the bicycle.

Not quite. The answer is Type of alcohol

Type of alcohol does not affect blood alcohol concentration. Standard servings of each type of alcohol all contain the same amount.

Not quite. The answer is $50,000

Your auto insurance policy must include at least $50,000 per person in bodily injury coverage.

Not quite. The answer is Listening to the radio

Any activity that uses your hands should be avoided while driving. Listening to the radio, on the other hand, can help you stay alert.

Not quite. The answer is 0.02%

If you are under 21 years of age and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.02% or higher, you will be considered under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The officer will demand your license and will give you a temporary license valid for 30 days. (Note: An average 180-pound man will reach a BAC of 0.03% from the alcohol in one 12-ounce can of beer, one shot of 80-proof liquor, or one 5-ounce glass of wine before his body starts to break down the alcohol. Hence a limit of under 0.02% is effectively zero tolerance.)

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Alcohol consumption before or during driving reduces a driver's reflexes, physical control over a vehicle, and awareness of the dangers on the roadway.

Not quite. The answer is No vehicles are allowed to make U-turns.

A red slash in a red circle means "no." This sign means that vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns here.

Not quite. The answer is wait for a day or two.

The more alcohol that gets into your body to make you intoxicated, the longer it will take your liver to break it all down. The liver can break down about one standard drink (one ounce of hard liquor, a one-half glass of wine, or a 12-ounce can of beer) per hour. If you consume a great deal of alcohol, it can take as long as a day or two for your body to fully recover.

Not quite. The answer is Time

Only time can remove alcohol from one's bloodstream. People mistakenly believe that coffee and fresh air may mask the effects of being drunk, such as drowsiness and slowed reactions, but they will not change the fact that you would be driving under the influence until enough time has passed after drinking.

Not quite. The answer is Sleep

Stimulants, exercise, and music can help keep you awake, but the best remedy for drowsiness is sleep. If you're getting 9 hours of sleep and still feel tired, consult a physician.
