The road ahead changes direction sharply. Drivers must slow down to a safe speed.

Not quite. The answer is the right lane.

In a multilane roundabout, do not pass any vehicle. Be prepared to yield to vehicles turning in front of you from the inside lane to exit the roundabout. If you intend to exit the roundabout less than halfway around it, use the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is It varies from person to person

The amount of alcohol each person can drink before reaching the legal limit is different for each person and depends on a variety of factors.

Not quite. The answer is concentrate on retaining control of your vehicle.

If an animal suddenly runs in front of your vehicle, do your best to control the vehicle to avoid a collision. Gradually slow down. Do not try to drive around the animal. Stay in your vehicle. Do not get out to observe the animal or chase it off the road. Give the animal plenty of room and let it wander back off the road.

Not quite. The answer is the outside lanes for turning and the center lanes for through travel.

On a one-way street with three or more lanes of traffic, use the center lanes for through travel and the outside lanes for turning.

Not quite. The answer is Left turns are allowed when the steady green signal is lit and there are no oncoming vehicles.

This sign is usually posted at an intersection that has a combination of signals, including a green arrow that points left. When the green arrow is lit, you may make a left turn as a protected turn; oncoming traffic will be stopped at a red light. This sign indicates that when the green arrow goes out and a steady green light comes on, you may still make a left turn, but now you'll have to yield to oncoming vehicles before you turn.

Not quite. The answer is The lane ahead is closed.

Sequential arrow panels may be used in work zones around the clock. This one indicates that the lane is closed ahead and you should move into the lane to your left.

Not quite. The answer is There is a side road entering from the right.

A driver preparing to enter the main road from the side road may not see you approaching from around the curve and may suddenly pull out in front of you.

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 Exit ramps

Exit ramps allow vehicles to slow down and leave expressways. There is often a lower speed posted at an exit ramp.

Not quite. The answer is You are approaching a right turn.

This sign accompanies a route marker sign. It means that you must soon turn right to enter or continue on that route.

Not quite. The answer is Only if you are carrying at least one passenger

High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are designed for vehicles with multiple occupants, such as carpools. This sign states that this HOV lane is an HOV 2+ lane, which requires at least two occupants in each vehicle. That is, a driver and at least one passenger.

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.
