  1. A heavily loaded truck accelerates slowly away from a stop. How should you respond behind it?

    Correct answer: Be patient and keep an adequate following gap.

    Large vehicles need time to gain speed because of their weight. Pressuring the driver does not create a safe passing opportunity.

  2. Before turning across the path of an approaching tractor-trailer, what mistake should you avoid?

    Correct answer: Assuming its large appearance means it is moving slowly.

    The size of a truck can mislead your estimate of its approach. If there is not a clearly safe gap, wait rather than forcing the truck to brake.

  3. On a narrow road, a cyclist appears unaware that you are behind. If a warning is needed, how should you use your horn?

    Correct answer: Give a brief, gentle tap without startling the rider.

    A short warning may alert the rider to your presence. It does not create extra road width or justify intimidating the cyclist into an unsafe position.

  4. Why should you search carefully for bicycles near the road edge at night?

    Correct answer: They can be hard to see, especially in glare from approaching traffic.

    Do not assume the absence of a car-sized light means the path is empty. A rider can be difficult to distinguish among headlights and roadside shadows.
