Sharing the road10 of 20
The answer
Answer: D. The guide says trucks are not large cars. Whether accelerating, braking, climbing a hill, changing lanes or turning onto a side street, tractor-trailer trucks must perform maneuvers that drivers of automobiles do not, so allow for those differences. Tractor-trailers also accelerate slowly and may need ten gears to reach the speed limit.

Road signs11 of 20
The answer
Answer: C. Orange signs indicate construction, according to the guide's sign color list, and work zone signs are fluorescent orange.

The shape and color of signs give clues to the type of information they provide.

Occupant safety14 of 20
The answer
Answer: B. Seat belts should be worn even if your vehicle has air bags. Air bags help against hitting the steering wheel, dashboard or windshield, but they do not protect you in a side or rear hit or a rollover, and an air bag will not keep you behind the wheel.
Source: Missouri Driver Guide — Chapter 8: Seat Belts, p. 55
Speed and space15 of 20

Parking16 of 20
The answer
Answer: A. Check traffic before you open the door. Get out on the curb side if you can, and have passengers, especially children, exit on the curb side. If you must use the street side, check traffic first, and check for bicyclists who often travel near parked cars.

Traffic signals and markings17 of 20
The answer
Answer: A. A flashing red light means the same thing as a stop sign. Flashing signals may occur during emergencies, at night, during low traffic volume periods and at special events. A flashing yellow light tells you to slow down and proceed with caution.
