1. When passing another vehicle, you should:
  1. Make eye contact with the other driver.
  2. Assume the other driver doesn’t see you. ✓
  3. Honk your horn.
  4. Wave to other drivers.

Answer: B. Assume the other driver doesn’t see you.

When passing another vehicle, you should assume the other driver does not see you. The handbook's communication section says other drivers may not notice your vehicle even when it is plainly visible. For passing, it gives a specific rule: whenever you are about to pass a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist, assume they do not see you, because they could suddenly move in front of you. That is why you should expect the other driver to be unaware of you and drive carefully enough to avoid a crash, using a light horn tap or a night-time light flash only when it is legal.

2. When driving at highway speeds, you should watch the road about ____ ahead of your vehicle.
  1. One block
  2. 100 yards
  3. One quarter mile ✓
  4. One mile

Answer: C. One quarter mile

At highway speeds you should watch the road about one quarter mile ahead of your vehicle. The handbook says good drivers look at least 12 to 15 seconds ahead, which is the distance you will cover in that time. At lower speeds that works out to roughly one block, and at highway speeds it comes to about a quarter of a mile. Looking that far ahead gives you room to stop or change lanes without sudden moves, and the handbook notes that drivers who fall short of this may have to brake too hard or switch lanes too quickly.
