1. To control your speed on a long, steep downgrade, you should:
✓ Shift to a lower gear and let the engine help slow the vehicle
On a steep downhill, shift to a lower gear so engine braking helps hold your speed and reduces how much you must use the brakes. Continuously riding the brakes can overheat them and cause brake fade, leaving little stopping power. Engine braking in a low gear is the safe way to descend.
2. In New Jersey, DWI laws apply to:
✓ Alcohol and drugs, including prescription and illegal drugs
New Jersey's driving-while-intoxicated laws cover impairment by alcohol and by any drug - illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter - that affects your ability to drive safely. You can be charged for drug impairment even with no alcohol. Always check how medications affect your driving.
3. If confronted by an aggressive or road-raging driver, you should ________.
✓ Avoid eye contact, give them room, and not engage
The best defense against an aggressive driver is to disengage - avoid eye contact, don't respond to gestures, and let them get ahead of you. Engaging or retaliating can escalate the situation into dangerous road rage. Staying calm and creating distance keeps a tense moment from turning violent.
4. You should keep which document in your vehicle to show coverage if you are stopped or have a crash?
✓ Your proof of insurance (insurance ID card)
Keep your proof of insurance (the insurance ID card, paper or electronic) and your registration in the vehicle, since you must show them to law enforcement or exchange them after a crash. The vehicle title is kept at home. Having proof readily available avoids extra penalties.
5. When turning left from a one-way street onto a one-way street, you should turn into:
✓ The leftmost lane
When turning left from a one-way onto a one-way street, complete the turn into the leftmost lane, staying close to the left curb. Aiming for the right or center lane forces you to cross other lanes of traffic. Turning into the nearest appropriate lane is the predictable, expected practice.
