1. If your vehicle begins to skid, you should ________.
✓ Ease off the gas and steer in the direction you want the front to go
To recover from a skid, take your foot off the gas and steer smoothly in the direction you want the front of the car to go, avoiding hard braking. Slamming the brakes or steering the wrong way usually makes the skid worse. Gentle, controlled inputs let the tires regain grip.
2. Drinking on an empty stomach, compared with after a meal, will ________.
✓ raise your BAC faster
Alcohol is absorbed faster on an empty stomach, so your BAC rises more quickly than if you had eaten. Food slows absorption but does not prevent impairment or lower your eventual BAC. The only safe choice is still to not drink and drive.
3. Defensive driving is best described as:
✓ Anticipating hazards and others' mistakes so you can avoid crashes
Defensive driving means looking ahead, anticipating what others might do wrong, and keeping space and options so you can avoid crashes even when others make mistakes. It assumes other drivers may not see you or may act unpredictably. This mindset prevents far more collisions than simply following rules.
4. Colorado's minimum liability coverage is written as 25/50/________ (thousand).
✓ 15
Colorado's minimum liability coverage is 25/50/15: $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per crash, and $15,000 property damage (Colorado DMV). These are minimums; carrying more is strongly recommended. Coverage is verified through the MIIDB.
5. Before returning to your lane after passing, you should be able to see ________.
✓ The front bumper of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror
Wait to move back until you can see the front bumper of the car you passed in your rearview mirror, which confirms you are far enough ahead to merge without cutting it off. Pulling back too soon can clip the other vehicle or force it to brake. Signal your return and check the mirror first.
