D: Only to warn a pedestrian, cyclist or driver in an emergency. Sound your horn only to warn others in an emergency; never in a posted Quiet Zone unless an emergency, and not just to announce your approach. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Safe Driving Practices: Use of the Horn, page 23.

D: Do not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle. When a vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian, approaching drivers must not overtake and pass it. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Right-of-Way: Crossing at Crosswalks, page 35.

D: Stop on the shoulder, raise the hood or tie a white cloth to the left door handle, and stay with the vehicle.

DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Interstate and Other Limited Access Highways: Stopping, page 31.

B: Once you are in the intersection. When turning just past an intersection, signal once you are in the intersection. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Driving Rules: Signaling, page 41.

D: Car about 366 ft, truck more than 400 ft. A car at 60 mph can stop in about 366 feet; a truck at the same speed takes more than 400 feet. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Sharing the Road With Large Trucks: Truck Stopping Distance, page 37.

DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Safe Driving Practices: Hand Signals under Special Conditions, page 23.

A: Yield to the pedestrian. Even though a pedestrian outside a crosswalk doesn't have the right-of-way, drivers must always yield to them. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Right-of-Way: Crossing at Locations Other Than Crosswalks, page 35.

B: The average speed at which traffic is moving. Up to the limit, it is safest to drive at the average traffic speed; departing from it, faster or slower, increases crash risk. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Traffic Rules: Speed Restrictions, page 46.

B: Chains. Chains do the most to improve traction and stopping on ice and snow, but no tire makes normal speeds safe on ice. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Special Driving Situations: Winter Driving, page 28.

No U-turns on a curve or hill where you can't be seen 500 feet away, at signal-controlled intersections, or on adjacent crosswalks. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Other Traffic Laws: U-Turn, page 47.

B: Nearly twice. Truck and bus drivers need nearly twice the time and room to stop as cars, so don't cut in too soon after passing. DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual: Sharing the Road With Large Trucks: Front No-Zones, page 37.
