- B. Raising the hood or trunk lid
- C. Getting out on the side away from traffic

- C. Only when the car's rain sensor turns them on

4. A yellow diamond sign showing an arrow that curves back and forth several times warns of:
- A. A winding road ahead (correct)
- B. A slippery road
- C. A single sharp curve
- D. A steep hill ahead
Why: The Winding Road sign (a single arrow that bends back and forth) warns of three or more curves in a row ahead. An S-shaped arrow with only two bends is the Reverse Curve sign. Reduce speed and stay alert through the curves.

5. If you begin to skid on ice or a slippery surface, you should:
- A. Brake firmly and hold the wheel straight
- B. Turn the wheel sharply in the opposite direction
- C. Ease off the gas and steer where you want to go (correct)
- D. Shift to neutral and pull the parking brake
Why: In a skid, take your foot off the gas (do not brake hard) and gently steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go. Smooth inputs are key - sudden movements worsen the skid.

6. In most states, you must not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant?
