B: 100 to 500 feet. Set out flares or reflectors behind the car, on the right edge of the road, between 100 and 500 feet back. Alabama Driver Manual: Night Driving, page 70.

B: Nearly 50% of vehicle/train collisions occur at crossings with active warning devices. About half of all vehicle/train crashes happen where flashing lights or gates are present, so warning devices only help if drivers obey them. Alabama Driver Manual: Safety Tips for Motorists, page 40.

A: You may not turn right or left on red at that signal. When this sign is posted at a signal, neither a right nor a left turn is allowed while the light is red. Alabama Driver Manual: Regulatory Signs, page 44.

C: Crossing is prohibited. Traffic on both sides of a double solid white line moves the same way, but you may not cross it. Alabama Driver Manual: Pavement Markings, page 53.

B: About 228 feet. At 55 mph the chart shows 60 ft thinking distance plus 168 ft braking distance, about 228 ft total. Alabama Driver Manual: Stopping Distance, page 37.

B: Four or five seconds. In bad weather or on poor roads, stretch the two-second count to four or five seconds. Alabama Driver Manual: How to Avoid Rear-End Collisions, page 36.

D: Six months. A 16- or 17-year-old must hold a learner license for six months (or until age 18) before the road test. Alabama Driver Manual: The Learner License and Restricted License, page 10.

B: 5 years of age or 40 pounds. A forward-facing seat is required until at least 5 years of age or 40 pounds. Alabama Driver Manual: Alabama's Safety Belt and Child Restraint Laws, page 30.

D: After stopping, from a one-way street onto a one-way street with traffic moving from right to left. After stopping, you may turn left on red from a one-way street onto a one-way street with traffic moving from right to left, yielding to traffic and pedestrians. Alabama Driver Manual: Stopping, page 60.

C: Stay behind at a safe distance until you can pass. Don't follow too closely or blast your horn; stay behind at a safe interval until you can pass. Alabama Driver Manual: Sharing the Road with Bicycles, page 24.

C: No closer than 50 feet. Keep a parked car at least 50 feet from the closest rail at a railroad crossing. Alabama Driver Manual: Parking, page 29.

B: $600 to $2,100. A first DUI conviction carries a fine of $600 to $2,100. Alabama Driver Manual: Driving While Under the Influence, page 33.

C: Braking. Braking increases a skid and can cause loss of steering when the front wheels lock, so don't brake until you regain directional control. Alabama Driver Manual: Skidding, page 71.

C: Black on orange. Warning signs are black and yellow, except construction-area signs, which are black and orange. Alabama Driver Manual: Warning Signs, page 44.

D: Clear the intersection, then pull to the side and stop. Pull to the side and stop for emergency vehicles. If you're in an intersection, clear it before stopping. Alabama Driver Manual: Right of Way and Yielding, page 63.

A: It can make a big difference in stopping suddenly. Drivers may not realize the difference a strong tailwind makes when trying to stop suddenly at high speed. Alabama Driver Manual: Stopping Distance, page 37.

C: Following too closely. Most rear-end collisions are caused by following too closely. Alabama Driver Manual: How to Avoid Rear-End Collisions, page 36.

C: Obey the YIELD sign and stop if necessary. Where a ramp has a YIELD sign and no acceleration lane, entering drivers must yield and stop if needed instead of forcing into traffic. Alabama Driver Manual: Entering the Freeway, page 77.

B: Any 14- or 15-year-old, for a motor-driven cycle up to 200 pounds and 150cc. 14- and 15-year-olds may get a Class M license with a 'B' restriction to ride a motor-driven cycle weighing no more than 200 pounds with an engine no larger than 150cc. Alabama Driver Manual: The Learner License and Restricted License, page 10.
