Want to test yourself first? Take the test above before reading these. Every answer below is checked against the source shown.

1. Hand-and-arm signals may be used only in daylight when you can clearly see people and vehicles how far away?
- A. 500 feet
- B. 200 feet
- C. 1,000 feet (correct)
- D. 1,500 feet
Why: Oregon allows hand-and-arm signals only in daylight with clear sight of 1,000 feet. At night or in poor visibility you must use your signal lights.

2. After an emergency vehicle using its lights or siren has passed you, how far behind it must you stay?
- A. 200 feet
- B. 300 feet
- C. 1,000 feet
- D. 500 feet (correct)
Why: Oregon requires you to keep at least 500 feet behind an emergency vehicle once it has passed.

3. If your vehicle's accelerator sticks while driving, you should:
- A. Shift into park and pull the parking brake
- B. Shift to neutral, brake, and steer to safety (correct)
- C. Switch off the engine and remove the key
- D. Keep driving and call for help on your phone
Why: Shift to neutral (to disconnect engine power), then apply brakes steadily to slow the vehicle. Steer to a safe location. Only turn off the ignition if other methods fail - as this can lock the steering column in older cars.

4. Your gas pedal is stuck and you switch off the engine to slow the car. What should you expect?
- A. The brakes will stop working completely
- B. Steering and braking will take more effort (correct)
- C. The car will speed up for a few seconds
- D. The car will come to a stop almost at once
Why: With the engine off you lose power steering and power brake assist, so the wheel and pedal feel much heavier. They still work - push harder and steer to a safe stop.

5. When entering a highway from an on-ramp, who has the right of way?
- A. The merging vehicle
- B. Traffic already on the highway (correct)
- C. The larger vehicle, such as a truck
- D. Whoever reaches the merge point first
Why: Traffic already on the highway has the right of way. The merging driver must adjust speed to safely enter the flow of traffic - do not force other drivers to slow down.

6. Alcohol affects driving by:
- A. Slowing reactions only once you reach 0.08%
- B. Impairing reaction time, judgment, and vision (correct)
- C. Affecting judgment, but not reaction time
- D. Mainly causing drowsiness, which coffee can fix
Why: Alcohol impairs all the skills needed to drive safely: reaction time slows, judgment and decision-making deteriorate, coordination suffers, and vision (especially peripheral) is reduced.
