  1. Question 1When backing up, what should you rely on to see behind you?

    Show answer

    D: Turn around and look directly through the rear window. Turn around so you can look directly through the rear window; do not depend on mirrors or backup cameras. Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide (form 99-0117): Backing Up/Reversing, page 30.

  2. Question 2Why shouldn't you cut in front of a large truck?

    Show answer

  3. Question 3On slippery surfaces, your vehicle responds better to what?

    Show answer

  4. Question 4You are stopped at a light and a car is approaching fast from behind. What can you do if the crash can't be avoided?
