You are ending insurance on a Delaware vehicle with a valid plate. What must happen first?

For a 30-year-old driving an ordinary car, which BAC meets the manual's stated .08-or-greater DUI level?
Correct answer: 0.08%.
A BAC of 0.08% or greater meets that level. A driver may still face a DUI charge below 0.08%; the threshold is not a guarantee that lower levels are safe.

After drinking alcohol, a driver has coffee and takes a cold shower. What should the driver understand?
Correct answer: Neither makes alcohol leave the body quickly; arrange a sober ride.

A medicine label warns about drowsiness, and you are unsure about driving after a dose. What should you do?

You repeatedly yawn and struggle to keep your eyes focused during a trip. What is the safest response?

Another driver is acting aggressively and trying to provoke you. What is the safest approach?

Correct answer: Make a reasonable effort to move it out of the traffic obstruction.

You damage a parked vehicle and cannot locate its owner. What should you do?

After a property-damage crash involving another driver, which information should you exchange?

Correct answer: Immediately report it to the police agency responsible for that location.

An injured person is in a stable crash scene with no fire or immediate traffic danger. What should you avoid?
