A student has a Louisiana TIP but has not yet received a learner's permit. What driving does that TIP authorize?
Correct answer: Instruction or a skills test while accompanied by a driver education instructor.
A TIP has a limited training and testing purpose. It is not the same credential as a learner's permit for supervised practice.

After completing driver education, what must a student provide when surrendering the TIP for the next credential?

How should a lap-and-shoulder belt fit?
Correct answer: Lap portion snug across the hips, shoulder portion across the shoulder and chest.
The strong hip area should take the lap-belt load, while the shoulder belt restrains the upper body. Incorrect routing reduces protection.

Your car has front airbags. Do they replace the need for safety belts?
Correct answer: No; airbags supplement correctly worn belts.
Airbags and belts have different protective roles. An airbag is not a reason to leave a belt unfastened.

An adult proposes holding a child on their lap under the same safety belt. Is this a safe restraint plan?
Correct answer: No; the child needs an appropriate separate child restraint.
The guide warns against holding a child or sharing one belt. A sudden stop or crash creates forces an adult cannot safely restrain by hand.

How can alcohol affect an otherwise experienced driver's response to a hazard?
Correct answer: It can slow reaction time and impair judgment.
Driving experience does not cancel impairment. Alcohol can affect decisions, concentration, vision and reactions needed to avoid a crash.

A driver who has been drinking says, 'I feel fine, so I can judge whether I am safe.' Why is that reasoning unreliable?
Correct answer: Alcohol can reduce the ability to judge one's own condition.
Alcohol can impair self-assessment as well as driving skills. Arrange a sober ride instead of using confidence as proof of safe driving.

You are involved in a crash that causes property damage. What must you do instead of simply driving away?

You damage an unattended parked vehicle and cannot immediately find its owner. What does the guide direct you to do?

An injured person is lying at a crash scene with no immediate life-threatening danger nearby. What should you do?
Correct answer: Call for help and avoid moving the person unnecessarily.
Unnecessary movement may worsen injuries. Summon emergency help; immediate danger, such as fire, changes the need to move someone to safety.

You manage to stop after your vehicle's service brakes fail. What should you do next?
