Not quite. The answer is keep right of the median

On a divided highway, keep right of the median unless directed to do otherwise by a sign, traffic control device, or police officer.

Not quite. The answer is come to a complete stop and then yield the right of way to pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles on the road you are entering.

If you are entering a main road from a private road, a driveway, or an unpaved road, you must stop before the crosswalk or sidewalk and yield to pedestrians and other vehicles before you may proceed.

Not quite. The answer is Drunk driving

According to the National Safety Council, every 33 minutes someone dies in an alcohol-related crash. Drunk driving is the leading single cause of death among young people in the age range from 16 to 24. Statistics indicated that US drivers drank too much and got behind the wheel about 112 million times in 2010.

Not quite. The answer is Rear-end collisions

Rear-end collisions are the most frequent type of crashes on interstate highways. And the most frequent cause of rear-end collisions is tailgating (following the vehicle ahead too closely). The Oregon Driver Manual recommends that you maintain a 2–4 second following distance behind the vehicle ahead of you. Under poor driving conditions, you should increase your following distance even more.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above answers are correct.

Alcohol can affect your concentration, reaction time, and judgment.

Not quite. The answer is year.

For a first DUII conviction, the court may require you to install an ignition interlock device (IID) on each vehicle you drive for a period of one year once your driving privileges are reinstated. If you are convicted of tampering with it after you've installed it, your driving privileges will be suspended for an additional year. [ORS 813.602],

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 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 0.08%.

Someone who is at least 21 years old with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher will fail a chemical test for intoxication.

Not quite. The answer is Yes.

The Oregon DMV will suspend or revoke your license if either (1) another state suspends or revokes your driving privileges, or (2) another state convicts you of an offense that would be grounds for license suspension or revocation if committed in Oregon. The DMV will not restore your driving privileges until you have either (1) had your driving privileges restored by that other state, or (2) paid all penalties imposed by that other state.

Not quite. The answer is Adult drivers may use a hands-free cell phone while driving.

If you are an adult driver and absolutely have to use your phone, it is better to use a speaker phone/hands-free device while driving. Using mobile phones while driving is not recommended and forbidden by law in some states.

Not quite. The answer is Faster reaction time

Marijuana can cause decreased car handling performance; slower reaction times; impaired time, speed, and distance estimation; subjective sleepiness; impaired motor coordination; impaired night vision; and impaired ability to focus.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

Alternatives to drinking and driving include taking a taxi, using public transportation, and riding with a designated driver. What about just walking? Walking under the influence of intoxicants actually increases a pedestrian's risk of being involved in an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has found that 37% of pedestrians killed in traffic accidents had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or above, while only 13% of the drivers in those accidents did.

Not quite. The answer is keeping to the far side of your lane and reducing your speed slightly.

If a truck is trying to pass you, you can help the truck driver pass by keeping to the far side of your lane and reducing your speed slightly. Never speed up when a vehicle is trying to pass you. A truck has large blind spots to its rear and sides. Try to avoid driving in those blind spots.

Not quite. The answer is until you pay what you owe.

If you fail to pay three months or more of court-ordered child support worth a total of at least $2,500, your license may be suspended and other pressures may be put on you until you pay what you owe. After you have done so, the Child Support Enforcement Division or a District Attorney will authorize the DMV to reinstate your driving privileges once you pay them a $85 reinstatement fee.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

How fast you drink, the number of drinks you've had, and how much you weigh all affect your blood alcohol concentration (BAC).

Not quite. The answer is you will take a chemical test when asked by a police officer.

Implied Consent law means that by driving a motor vehicle you have agreed that you will take a chemical test when asked by a police officer if you are arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants.
