Got three wrong. Supposed to slow down at a flashing yellow, use low beams in fog (I stupidly said only fog lights), and one can pass on the right either on multi-lane highways or when the other vehicle is making a left turn and you have a lane available on the right to pass.

The irony of 'fog lights' is they're really only useful on fairly clear days.

My pet peeve is people who use their high beams in fog. That's not helping anyone.

1. Went with 10 seconds. I rnormally try for 1 car length for ever 10 miles. Think I read that somewhere.

2. Never have seen a solid yellow light, that I can recall. So blew that one, too.

Did you mean to type solid yellow "line" instead of "light"?

ETA: btw I disagree with that yellow light thing, don't know why I clicked on the right answer!
To me yellow means to stop only if it's safe to do so, for instance let's say another car is
tailgating you, would you take a chance and lock up the brakes if you are 20 or 30 feet from
the light when it turns yellow?

I got two wrong...

The one with stop on yellow I didn't know and is the stupidest thing I ever heard.

The other was I picked 10 seconds.

Just once on one of these tests I'd like to see some questions concerning driving under the posted speed limit and the dangers of driving with a holier-than-thou I'm driving the exact speed limit and ain't gonna move attitude.......

All wrong (not me, the test answers). Stupid regulations. Rules are meant to be broken, and everyone's abilities are different. Mine happen to be god-like. I own the road and drive as fast as possible, ignoring any speed bumps I come across (cars to everyone else). I drive offensively and let the others worry about defense. It's a blast getting to and from work when the freeway is a slalom! You snooze you lose, b#%$#s!
