Being able to anticipate hazards is crucial to handling dangerous driving situations. Keep scanning the road, including both ahead and around your vehicle, not just at the center of the road.

Wet roads, especially right after rain, can be hazardous due to slick surfaces caused by a mixture of water, oil, and dirt. Slow down when driving in heavy rain, standing water, or slush to avoid losing traction.

A right-turn restriction sign means that turning right is not allowed at that intersection.

Never attempt to drive around lowered railroad crossing gates. Always stop, look both ways, and obey any signals before crossing train tracks. Remember, trains share the road with motor vehicles and bicycles, and crossing gates are there for your safety.

A railroad crossing sign alerts drivers to slow down as they approach. Trains cannot stop, so ensure the tracks are clear before crossing.

Before starting your drive, adjust your seat to ensure clear visibility and comfort. Set mirrors and the steering wheel only after the seat is properly adjusted.

When facing a red light, you may turn left from a one-way street to another one-way street, unless a sign prohibits it. First, stop and yield to pedestrians and other traffic.

This sign marks a lane reserved for left-turning vehicles from either direction, which cannot be used for passing or through traffic.

Driving faster on wet roads reduces your tires’ ability to remove water, which increases the chances of hydroplaning—where your tires lose grip and the car slides uncontrollably.

Do not use cruise control on snow, rain, fog, or other hazardous conditions. Winter driving requires extra caution, and it’s important to monitor your antifreeze and windshield fluid levels. Snow tires can improve traction on slippery roads.

Even if you are not driving, your driving privilege will be suspended if you are under 21 years of age and are convicted of possessing alcohol, lying about your age to obtain alcohol, or carrying a false ID card. The minimum penalties include a fine of $500, plus court costs, and a 90-day license suspension for the first offense.

It takes an average person at least an hour to process the alcohol in a single drink.

As you approach a highway exit, move into the exit lane well in advance. Don’t start slowing down until you are safely in the exit lane.

It is unlawful for anyone aged 21 or over to drive with a BAC of 0.08% or greater. Driving under the influence of alcohol is not only illegal but also risky for both the driver and others.

Passing on a two-lane, two-way road requires caution, as you must cross into oncoming traffic. Only pass when it is safe and legal to do so.

If an emergency vehicle approaches while you’re on a one-way street, pull over to the nearest side and stop.

The minimum penalties for a first underage drinking offense are a fine of up to $500, plus court costs, and a 90-day suspension.

This sign indicates one-way traffic ahead, and entering from the current direction is prohibited.
