Not quite. The answer is A hospital service ahead

Service signs have white letters or symbols on a blue background. This service sign indicates that there is a hospital ahead.

Not quite. The answer is A stop sign

This regulatory sign is a stop sign. At a stop sign, you must stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, whichever you arrive at first. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when the intersection is clear. You must stop near the sign and yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is Flag person ahead

This work zone sign indicates a flagger (flag person) ahead. Flaggers are often located in highway or street work zones. They wear orange vests, shirts, or jackets and use red flags or STOP/SLOW paddles to guide traffic safely through these areas. You must follow the flagger's directions.

Not quite. The answer is turning the steering wheel when you turn your head to check your blind spots.

When you turn your head to check your blind spots, keep the steering wheel straight. (People have a natural tendency to turn their arms in the same direction as their head turns.)

Not quite. The answer is B, A, C

At an all-way stop, you must stop and then yield to vehicles that arrived at the intersection before you. In other words, vehicles should proceed in the order in which they arrived. Here, Car B can go first, followed by Car A and then Car C. (Of course, each vehicle must stop before proceeding.)

Not quite. The answer is 0.08%

If you are at least 21 years old and a chemical test reveals that your alcohol concentration (AC) is 0.08% or greater, you will be considered legally under the influence of alcohol. If you are under 21 and your AC is 0.02% or greater, you will also be considered legally under the influence of alcohol. The penalties for driving while in this condition can be harsh.

Not quite. The answer is At least three seconds

The North Dakota Noncommercial Drivers License Manual recommends the "three-second rule": Maintain a following distance of at least three seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. You can measure your following distance by noting when the vehicle in front of you passes some stationary object and then counting the seconds that elapse before you reach the same object. If driving conditions are poor, you should increase your following distance.
