1. At night, when an oncoming vehicle fails to dim its high beams, you should look:
✓ Toward the right edge of your lane
When an oncoming vehicle fails to dim its high beams, look toward the right edge of your lane and use it as a guide until the vehicle passes (Minnesota Driver's Manual). Never stare into the lights, which can briefly blind you. Slow down if needed.
2. Minnesota requires special 'whiskey plates' (W-prefix license plates) for:
✓ Certain repeat or high-BAC DWI offenders
Minnesota requires special registration plates beginning with 'W' (whiskey plates) for certain repeat DWI offenders and high-BAC cases (Minn. Stat. 169A.60). The plates are part of the state's plate-impoundment program. Only a few states use this system.
3. What is the main benefit of keeping a space cushion around your vehicle?
✓ It gives you time and room to react to hazards
Keeping open space ahead, behind, and to the sides gives you the time and room to react to sudden hazards, such as a car braking hard or a child running out. Defensive driving is largely about preserving that cushion so you are never boxed in. The more space you keep, the more options you have.
4. A Minnesota Enhanced Driver License (EDL) can be used to:
✓ Cross U.S. land and sea borders into Canada and Mexico
A Minnesota Enhanced Driver License (EDL) has an embedded chip that serves as a valid document for crossing U.S. land and sea borders into Canada and Mexico (Minnesota DPS). It does not replace a passport for air travel. Only a few states offer an EDL.
5. Before making a turn, you should signal continuously for ________.
✓ enough distance to let others react in advance
You should signal well before a turn or lane change so other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians have time to anticipate your move. Signaling at the last second defeats the purpose. Make early, consistent signaling an automatic habit, even when you don't see anyone nearby. (Exact required distance is set by each state.)
