If another car is in danger of hitting you, you should:
- Sound your horn. ✓
- Wave your arms.
- Use your emergency lights.
- Flash your headlights.
Answer: A. Sound your horn.
You should sound your horn when another car is in danger of hitting you.
Why this is the answer
The Florida handbook covers a vehicle approaching in your lane and says to sound the horn and flash high beams, then steer to the side of the road. That makes the horn the warning action the bank answer selects. The passage does not say to wave your arms or use emergency lights for this. Because it also mentions high beams, the support for the horn by itself is not perfect.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Wave your arms. — Waving your arms is not listed in the handbook for this situation and is not a reliable warning to another driver.
- C. Use your emergency lights. — The handbook does not tell you to turn on emergency lights when another car is coming toward you; it says to sound the horn and steer aside.
- D. Flash your headlights. — The handbook does pair flashing high beams with the horn for an oncoming vehicle, but the bank answer for this question is the horn, not headlights as the single action.
Remember it
When a car is coming at you, remember the horn as the warning to use, even though the handbook also mentions high beams.
