You want to change lanes where two solid white lines separate the lanes. What should you do?

Traffic beyond a railroad crossing is backed up. The signals are inactive, but your car would have to stop partly on the tracks. What should you do?

A clear signal does not make a blocked crossing safe. Enter only when there is enough space to drive completely through.

You follow a large truck so closely that your car is in its rear blind spot. Why is that dangerous?
Correct answer: The driver may not see you, and an unexpected stop leaves little escape space
Large vehicles have substantial rear blind spots. Stay back where you have time to react rather than hiding immediately behind the truck.

You are on an ordinary Florida road outside a business or residence district. No different speed limit has been established. What is the general maximum in favorable conditions?

An adult drives with a measured BAC of 0.06%, and alcohol has impaired the driver's normal faculties. Does being below 0.08% rule out DUI?
Correct answer: No; alcohol-related impairment can establish DUI below 0.08%
Florida's DUI law has an impairment-based ground as well as an alcohol-level ground. A reading below 0.08% is not permission to drive with impaired normal faculties.

This sign is posted on a two-way road. What should you expect at the bridge?
