0:44welcome to the second annual National
0:46driving test now I can just walk away
0:49from this wreck but out on the highway I
0:52might not be so lucky and most likely
0:54neither would you we'll put you right
0:56behind the wheel with a 25 question test
0:59of your driving skill
1:00we'll find out if you're a highway hero
1:03or a terror on Wheels now all you need
1:05to take the test is a piece of paper and
1:07pencil and you're driving smarts as we
1:09put you in some situations we hope you
1:12never have to
1:15[Music]
1:16face driving might be easy if it was
1:19just you out there on the road but in
1:21reality it is a jungle out there traffic
1:25is a maze of cars trucks motorcycles
1:27bicycles pedestrians all competing for
1:30their share of the road the Undisputed
1:33King of the Road is the big truck
1:35weighing in at £80,000 lb the average
1:38tractor trailer is more than a match for
1:40your 2,000lb car but there's no need to
1:43fear trucks if you know how to share the
1:45road with them here's question number
1:47one of the test worth Four
1:50Points you're on an8 Lane freeway with
1:52moderate traffic at 55 mph you're
1:56passing a large tractor trailer and pull
1:58over as soon as you clear the front of
1:59it
2:00suddenly the pickup truck in front of
2:02you Slams on his brakes you stop in time
2:05to avoid hitting the pickup but the
2:07tractor trailer crashes into you from
2:09the
2:13rear how could you have avoided this
2:15Collision a left more distance between
2:19your car and the pickup B left more
2:22distance between your car in the tractor
2:24trailer C tapped your brake several
2:28times to alert the tractor trailer
2:30driver D all of the
2:34above for Four Points the answer is B
2:38left more distance between your car and
2:40the tractor trailer the biggest
2:42complaint of truckers is that cars cut
2:45them off pulling too close in front of
2:47them because trucks are bigger and
2:50heavier it takes them much longer to
2:51stop than it does
2:53cars you should leave more space between
2:56yourself and a large vehicle than you
2:58would for another car A good rule of
3:00thumb when passing is to wait until you
3:02can see both headlights and the tires in
3:05your rear view mirror before pulling in
3:07front now we've talked about some of the
3:09larger Vehicles like the big trucks but
3:12you should also be concerned about
3:13motorcycles because of their size
3:15they're small size for Four Points
3:18here's question number two you are
3:20driving down a four-lane highway a
3:22motorcycle is directly in front of you
3:25driving in the right side of the lane he
3:27is far enough over that you can pass him
3:29without Crossing into another Lane true
3:31or false it is safe to pass in this
3:36situation false it is never safe to pass
3:40a motorcycle in your same Lane in fact
3:43in Most states it is illegal a
3:45motorcycle is a vehicle too and is
3:47entitled to a whole Lane don't be fooled
3:50if the motorcycle is over to one side he
3:53may need to maneuver within the lane to
3:55avoid unsafe conditions or an
3:58obstacle you know who are the most
4:00dangerous people you're likely to meet
4:01in your lifetime just look in the
4:06mirror they're drivers just like you
4:09you're more likely to be killed in a
4:10traffic accident than any other way
4:13question number three is a fill-in the
4:14blank we're going to take a ride write
4:17down every traffic violation you can see
4:20here we go
4:31he
4:34[Music]
5:14for half a point each here are the eight
5:16violations you could have spotted number
5:18one the brake lights are not working on
5:21this car number two rolling through a
5:24stop sign instead of coming to a
5:26complete stop three making a lane change
5:29with without
5:31signaling four failing to yield RightWay
5:34to a
5:35pedestrian five slowing to a crawl or
5:39stopping on a highway onramp where there
5:41is other traffic six pulling into
5:45traffic without
5:47signaling seven traveling below the
5:49speed limit in the fast
5:51lane and finally eight cutting off
5:55another
5:56vehicle any one of these might trigger a
5:59driving disaster disaster be alert and
6:01remember you get half a point for each
6:03violation for a possible total of four
6:06points another creature to look out for
6:08in that jungle on the road is the
6:10bicycle Rider he doesn't have a
6:12protective hide like cars and trucks his
6:14only bumper may be a pair of jeans
6:16question number four you're approaching
6:19an intersection where you want to make a
6:20right turn a bicycle Rider is up ahead
6:23of you to the right you turn in front of
6:25the bike and it smashes into you what
6:28could you have done to prevent this
6:30accident a stayed farther to the left
6:33while making your turn B pulled ahead of
6:36the bike more quickly C slowed down and
6:39pulled in behind the bike D sounded your
6:42horn to alert the
6:46bicyclist for Four Points the answer is
6:49C slowed down and pulled in behind the
6:52bike you should treat the bicycle like
6:54any other vehicle if this was another
6:56car you'd pull in behind it speeding up
6:59to pull ahead of the bicycle is a setup
7:01for disaster you'll have to slow down in
7:04front of him to make your turn and the
7:06cyclist will have little time to react
7:09one out of every six people who die in
7:11traffic accidents aren't driving any
7:13kind of vehicle at all they're
7:14pedestrians and it's up to you to look
7:16out for them question number
7:19five you stop for a red light and you
7:22find that your car is blocking the
7:24pedestrian crosswalk true or false you
7:27should back up out of the crosswalk
7:30[Music]
7:32false you should stay where you are
7:35pedestrians who now have the green light
7:37may have walked behind your car to cross
7:39the street of course it's a mistake to
7:41stop in the crosswalk in the first place
7:44you can avoid this by not entering the
7:45crosswalk unless you have time to make
7:47it all the way through the
7:49intersection give yourself four points
7:51if you answered false if you got
7:53everything right so far you could have
7:5520 points it doesn't take a PhD or an
7:58MBA to keep you from being DOA Dead on
8:01Arrival after a serious accident
8:03surviving on the road just takes a good
8:05driving IQ Let's test yours question
8:08number six for Four Points you're on a
8:12residential Street approaching an
8:13intersection there's a stop sign on the
8:16cross street but no stop sign for you a
8:19car coming from the cross street runs
8:21the stop sign and you slam into him how
8:24could you have avoided this Collision a
8:27break harder B steered left C steered
8:32right d Brak and steered
8:38right for Four Points the correct answer
8:41is D Brak and steered right most
8:44people's tendency is to rely only on
8:46their brakes if they fear a collision is
8:48imminent often it's more effective to
8:50use your steering wheel along with the
8:52brakes cars moving at 30 mph or faster
8:56can be maneuvered with a steering wheel
8:57and less distance than it takes to stop
8:59stop in this situation steering to the
9:02right may get you out of the path of the
9:04other
9:06car I'm William Shack every week on
9:10Rescue 911 we show you how emergency
9:12teams save lives but would you know what
9:15to do if you were the first to arrive at
9:17the scene of an accident make sure you
9:19pull your car all the way off the road
9:21to avoid causing another accident then
9:24help anyone who was not breathing as
9:26well as anyone who was severely bleeding
9:28make the as comfortable as possible and
9:31provide the necessary first aid but
9:33unless you know exactly what you're
9:34doing don't move them ask the first
9:37person who comes along to call 911 or a
9:40doctor and have someone else divert
9:42traffic and remember while 911 made the
9:45an exciting TV program don't make
9:48yourself the star drive
9:51carefully now for your etiquette lesson
9:53of the day question seven has four parts
9:56all involving
9:57turn you are on a four Lane Boulevard in
10:00the right hand lane a truck in front of
10:02you swings to the left true or false you
10:05are safe to pull forward and turn
10:09right for one point the answer is false
10:13you should be aware that trucks make
10:14very wide turns if you pull forward you
10:17may be caught in the path of the Turning
10:19Truck Part Two you're turning in a turn
10:22only Lane in moderate traffic you do not
10:25need to Signal because it is obvious
10:28which way you'll be turning true or
10:32false false you must signal every time
10:35you change the position or direction of
10:38your car one point for false part three
10:41you are approaching an intersection on a
10:43large Boulevard and pass a bus that has
10:45stopped on the right you want to make a
10:48right turn it is safe to pull in front
10:50of the bus to make your turn true or
10:55false false for one point you can't see
10:58around the bus there may be people
11:01starting to cross the street plus you
11:03don't know when the bus may start moving
11:05again and finally for one point you're
11:08in a left turn lane at a busy
11:10intersection two cars in front of you
11:12make left turns but the light turns red
11:15just as you enter the crosswalk true or
11:17false you should stay where you are and
11:20not complete your
11:21[Music]
11:23turn true you should stay right where
11:26you are of course it's best to avoid
11:28this situ ation by never entering the
11:30crosswalk on a yellow
11:32light sometimes it's not a question of
11:35your rights or your right away it's how
11:37quickly you can react hi I'm Perry King
11:40I like to spend my spare time on a
11:42racetrack but whether I'm driving my
11:43race car or my old Ferrari or a pickup
11:46truck that I've got I've learned that my
11:49safety can often depend on split-second
11:51decisions as in question number eight
11:54you're driving on a highway at 55 mph
11:57when suddenly you see a mattress in the
11:59lane ahead of you there are other cars
12:01directly to your right and left
12:03preventing you from changing lanes what
12:05is the best thing to do a press your
12:09brake pedal as hard as you can and hold
12:11it B steer around the mattress and
12:14signal to alert other
12:16drivers C brake can go over the mattress
12:19as slowly as possible D accelerate
12:23without breaking to get over the
12:24mattress as quickly as possible
12:27[Music]
12:29give yourself four points if you
12:30answered C break and go over the
12:33mattress as slowly as you can your best
12:35bet is to use a pumping motion on the
12:37brake this will keep the wheels from
12:39locking whatever technique you use take
12:41your foot off the brake as you go over
12:43the mattress this will give you better
12:45control of your steering if you answer
12:47correctly give yourself another four
12:50points hi I'm alen junor take a look at
12:54question number nine you are on a
12:56freeway getting ready to make a lane
12:58change two lanes away another driver
13:01decides to change lanes at the same time
13:04into the same Lane as you start to move
13:07over you barely Miss slamming into the
13:10other car true or false a check of your
13:14rear view and side mirrors could have
13:16prevented this dangerous
13:20situation the answer is false looking
13:23into the rear view and side mirrors is a
13:25must but so is a simple glance over your
13:28shoulder
13:29the mirrors only show you what's behind
13:32you or in the next Lane but they also
13:34have blind spots the mirrors don't show
13:38you what's happening one lane over if
13:40you add a quick head check you'll get
13:43the whole
13:44picture you see them all the Timeout on
13:47the road the signs and signals that are
13:49supposed to make driving easier but if
13:51you don't know what they mean that's a
13:53sign you may be headed for trouble in
13:55question 10 we'll show you eight signs
13:58signals and Mark for half a point each
14:00let's see if you know what each one
14:02means
14:11[Music]
14:24[Music]
14:35okay time for the answers first the
14:37yellow light we've all seen it it means
14:40prepare to stop not speed up to beat the
14:43red
14:44light number two this sign means Lane
14:48added such as where the onramp joins the
14:51main Lanes of a highway as you enter the
14:54freeway you do not have to merge into
14:56another Lane three even though it's says
14:59Exit Only many people don't realize it
15:02means you must exit your lane will end
15:05number four divided highway this means
15:08traffic is going to be separated by a
15:10median and you should stay to the right
15:13number five pavement ends this means the
15:17PVE Road will soon end and the road will
15:19become dirt or gravel slow down six Hill
15:23or steep downgrade ahead all drivers
15:27especially those with large vehicles
15:29should reduce speed and use extra
15:32caution number seven Flagger ahead this
15:36sign means you are approaching a work
15:37Zone follow the directions of the
15:40flagger even if the way looks clear to
15:43you and finally the yellow solid line
15:46next to a broken line means passing is
15:48allowed in One Direction but not in the
15:51other if you are on the side of the
15:53solid line you may not pass give
15:55yourself a half point for each one you
15:57got right now let's see how you're doing
15:59on the test if you answered everything
16:01correctly so far you could have a total
16:03of 40
16:04points they call them crash dummies and
16:07for good reason who else would get in a
16:09car with absolutely no protection
16:11unfortunately the answer is more than
16:14half the people in this country which
16:16brings us to question number 11 for Four
16:19Points a young man is picking up a
16:21friend to take a out for a ride in his
16:23new car he is very proud of all the new
16:26features on the car including an airbag
16:28on the driver side as with most new cars
16:31the passenger side doesn't have an
16:32airbag so the friend buckles her safety
16:35belt true or false for Four Points the
16:38driver does not need to buckle his
16:40safety belt because there is an airbag
16:42on his
16:44side false even though he has an airbag
16:48the driver should still Buckle a safety
16:50belt airbags are meant to be used along
16:53with safety belts not to replace them
16:56the bag is only designed to inflate in a
16:58crash in involving the front of your car
17:00not in a rear end side or rollover crash
17:04allowing the bag to deflate
17:08quickly last week I went out with a girl
17:10and she told me to buckle up I said but
17:12we're in the living room actually we
17:15should all buckle up every time we get
17:16into a car the fact is in a collision at
17:18just 15 mph without a safety belt you
17:22could hit the windshield as hard as 150
17:24lb of cement dropped from a second story
17:26window you know what kind of damage that
17:28could do do to your
17:31[Applause]
17:32[Music]
17:37face it could kill
17:40you and it's brutal on your TV
17:44reception safety belts are obviously
17:46important but could there be a valid
17:48reason for not wearing one we'll see in
17:51question
17:5212 a woman who is almost 9 months
17:54pregnant gets in the car to go to the
17:56market
18:00she tries to buckle her safety belt but
18:03feels uncomfortable pressure true or
18:05false this is the one exception to the
18:08safety belt rule women more than 7
18:10months pregnant should not wear safety
18:12belts because of possible danger to the
18:15[Music]
18:17fetus for Four Points the answer is
18:20false even on the trip to the hospital
18:23to deliver a pregnant woman should
18:24always wear a safety belt the best way
18:27to protect the fetus is to protect the
18:29mother Obstetricians recommend that the
18:31lap and shoulder belts should both be
18:33used with the lap belt as low as
18:35possible on the hips under the baby
18:38being prepared is the key to keeping
18:40your car out of the body shop because in
18:42certain situations knowing what your car
18:44will or will not do can make all the
18:47difference question number 13 worth Four
18:50Points you're driving on a busy highway
18:53when your engine dies you should
18:55immediately turn off your engine to
18:57prevent overheating or a possible
18:59electrical fire true or
19:01[Music]
19:03false false you should never turn off
19:06your ignition on a street or Highway
19:08when your engine fails this may cause
19:10your steering to lock when your car
19:12stalls what you should do is shift into
19:14neutral and guide your car off the
19:18road can we talk not you the car don't
19:22laugh it's not like your kids you should
19:24pay attention when your car is whining
19:25at you one point each identify the these
19:28four sounds and the problems they may
19:30indicate here's sound number
19:34one sound number
19:38two sound number
19:42three and sound number
19:45four okay let's go back to sound number
19:48one one ping means you've dropped your
19:51lipstick excessive pinging or knocking
19:54may be caused by low octane gas what it
19:57means is you need to switch to high
19:58octane now for the clunk let me tell you
20:01I met my share of clunks during my
20:03lifetime but this clunk sound means
20:05something is loose and it's about to
20:06break in your steering mechanism sound
20:09number three a high pitch squeal first
20:11of all make sure you don't have a little
20:12cheerleader in your trunk and if you
20:14still have that squeal after youve
20:15taking her out means a Drive Bel is
20:18loose and finally number four metallic
20:21grinding that means you break pair the
20:24shop so get your car to the shop right
20:27away besides making horrible sounds your
20:30car may try to communicate with you
20:32using sign language for some of the
20:34signs you can see here's question
20:3715 you're driving on the highway when
20:40the oil light comes on what should you
20:42do a pull out of traffic and turn off
20:45the engine B drive to the nearest gas
20:48station C keep driving but remember to
20:52add oil the next time you get gas D stop
20:55immediately and abandon your car
21:00for Four Points the answer is a as soon
21:03as it's safe pull out of traffic and
21:05turn off the engine when the oil light
21:08comes on this means that your oil
21:10pressure is dangerously low any more
21:12driving could destroy the engine
21:15checking our scoreboard you could have a
21:16total of 60 points so far if you were a
21:18real whiz and got every question
21:24right hi I'm Ted Shackleford skids can
21:27happen on any surface but they're more
21:29likely to happen whenever there's
21:30anything on the road it could be loose
21:32gravel or dirt like this or much more
21:35typically the treacherous conditions
21:36that are created whenever the weather
21:38turns back question number 16 sounds
21:40simple but it's crucial to your safety
21:43what's the most common cause of a skit a
21:47over accelerating B over breing C sudden
21:50turning of steering wheel d none of the
21:56above for Four Points the answer is be
21:58over braking when you break too hard
22:00your wheels can lock up causing your
22:02tires to lose traction with the road
22:04this is the most common cause of skids
22:06part of avoiding a skid involves knowing
22:08which areas of the road are likely to be
22:10the most slippery question number 17 is
22:12a fill-in the blank you're traveling on
22:15a very cold day look at this picture and
22:17pick out the three areas of the road
22:19that are most likely to be
22:24icy the answers are the bridge the
22:28bottom of the the hill and the Shaded
22:31area the bridge is more likely to be icy
22:34because cold air is circulating under it
22:36as well as over it water can accumulate
22:38at the bottom of the hill and freeze and
22:40it's always colder in the shade if you
22:43got one area right give yourself one
22:45point two areas right two points and if
22:48you found all three give yourself Four
22:50Points water on the road becomes an
22:53especially tricky problem when the water
22:55is not just on the road but also on your
22:57brakes question number
22:5918 if your brakes become wet the best
23:02way to dry them off is to pump the brake
23:04pedal vigorously true or
23:09false for Four Points the answer is
23:12false anytime you drive through water
23:15you should test your brakes to see if
23:16they are working if not you should
23:19accelerate slightly with your right foot
23:21and use your left foot to apply gentle
23:23pressure on the brake pedal do this
23:25until the brakes work properly again
23:27when you think about it all the the
23:28questions in this section really boil
23:30down to one important variable in the
23:31driving equation traction when you have
23:34it you have great control of your car
23:36but you lose traction look out to give
23:39you an idea how much traction can vary
23:41question 19 for Four Points you're
23:44traveling 40 mph on dry pavement when
23:46you apply your brakes after applying the
23:49brakes how much distance do you need to
23:51come to a complete stop a 50 to 80 ft B
23:56two car lengths C 100 to 150 ft D four
24:03car
24:06lengths for Four Points the answer is C
24:10it will take approximately 110 ft to
24:12come to a complete stop in rainy
24:15conditions it would take you about 200
24:17ft to stop on gravel 350 ft and on Ice
24:22about 770 ft your most frustrating
24:27moment may come when you don't have any
24:28traction at all the wheels are turning
24:30but you're not going anywhere question
24:33number 20 for Four Points your wheels
24:35are stuck in the mud what is the first
24:38thing you should do to get out a
24:41accelerate quickly to keep from sinking
24:43deeper in the mud B steer from side to
24:46side while accelerating to dislodge your
24:48wheels C put your car into reverse and
24:51accelerate quickly D accelerate slowly
24:55in the same direction
24:59[Music]
25:00the answer is D accelerate slowly in the
25:04same direction if this doesn't work you
25:06should try rocking the car back and
25:08forth shifting from drive to reverse
25:11until you rock the car out but check
25:13your owner's manual first to make sure
25:15this is recommended for your car if it
25:18is only rock the car a few
25:24times so far we've talked about a lot of
25:27things that can throw your driving off
25:29track other drivers mechanical problems
25:32dangerous road conditions but at the
25:34center of it all is you question 21
25:37you're driving on a country road and see
25:39an oncoming car with its high beams on
25:42the driver does not switch to his low
25:44beams as he approaches you where is the
25:47best place for you to look to avoid
25:49being temporarily
25:50blinded a just above the headlights at
25:53the driver B Straight Ahead in your lane
25:57C to the right edge of the Road D at the
26:02center dividing
26:05line the correct answer is C worth Four
26:09Points you should look to the right edge
26:11of the road look well ahead of your car
26:14and follow the white line or edge of the
26:17road this will keep glare to a minimum
26:20and help you safely steer the car as you
26:22get older it takes you eight times
26:24longer to recover from glare than it did
26:26when you were 16
26:29another ability that decreases with age
26:31is reaction time but good driving habits
26:34can help you compensate for the effects
26:36of Mother Nature question 22 is worth
26:39another four
26:40points you're driving down a residential
26:43street where everything seems perfectly
26:45fine or is it
26:57[Music]
27:00how could you have avoided this accident
27:02a cover your brake whenever driving in a
27:05residential area B look at least 12 to
27:0915 seconds ahead when driving C drive at
27:12least 5 mph below the speed limit in a
27:15residential area D drive in the middle
27:18of the street to give yourself a safety
27:20cushion on both
27:24sides the answer is B look at least 12
27:27to 15 seconds ahead when driving most
27:30drivers only look 4 seconds ahead this
27:33is all they see but if you were looking
27:3512 to 15 seconds ahead you would have
27:38seen the ball in the street in plenty of
27:39time to slow down cover your Brak and
27:42even honk your horn to warn the child
27:45you know the old say where there's a
27:47ball there's a boy about half of all
27:50fatal traffic accidents involve people
27:52who were drinking now we all know it's
27:54illegal and dangerous to drink and drive
27:56but if you're drinking how how do you
27:58know how much is too much here are some
28:01questions to test your knowledge about
28:03alcohol and driving question 23 is worth
28:06Four Points what is the legal limit for
28:08blood alcohol content while driving in
28:11your
28:14state the answer varies from state to
28:16state so look at this map for your
28:18answer in Most states the limit
28:21is10 that means one drop of alcohol for
28:24every 1,000 drops of blood in these four
28:27states California Maine Oregon and Utah
28:31the limit is lower
28:348 our next question goes beyond the law
28:38let's say you have been drinking but
28:39your blood alcohol content is below the
28:41legal limit true or false you are safe
28:44to
28:47drive false for Four Points even if your
28:50blood alcohol level is below the legal
28:52limit Studies have shown that your
28:54driving is still impaired but even at 0
28:58well below the limit in all states you
29:01are still twice as likely to be involved
29:03in a collision now let's say you're not
29:05the one drinking you're hosting a small
29:07party at your home you're serving wine
29:10and beer and your guests seem to drink
29:12only moderately none of them appears
29:15intoxicated after your guests leave you
29:17get a phone call one of them has been
29:20involved in a serious crash and has been
29:22taken to the hospital true or false you
29:26could be held legally responsible for
29:28the crash even though you were not in
29:30the
29:32car true a growing number of states have
29:35legal Provisions for holding the host
29:37responsible if he serves alcohol to
29:39someone who then goes out and causes an
29:41accident besides that the people
29:44involved in the Collision could sue you
29:46but whether it's a law on your state or
29:48not it's a good practice to be a
29:50responsible host if you answered true
29:53give yourself Four
29:56Points I'm Connie Celica one of the
29:59spokespersons for Mad Mothers Against
30:01Drunk Driving what makes me mad is
30:03watching anyone drink and drive no
30:05matter how moderately they drink it's
30:08estimated that two out of every five
30:10Americans will be in an alcohol rated
30:12crash sometime during their lives as a
30:14host it's your responsibility to make
30:16sure your guest ride home is not their
30:18last before the partying starts is the
30:21time to ask each group of guests who the
30:23designated driver will be in fact it's a
30:26good idea to make yourself or someone
30:27else as a key master so you can decide
30:30who's in control enough to drive home at
30:31the end of the evening make sure the
30:33life of the party stays that way
30:36alive if you score between 80 and 100
30:40congratulations you're probably a safe
30:42driver and you have a good chance of
30:44beating the odds when it comes to being
30:45in a traffic accident if you score
30:47between 60 and 80 you know something
30:50about good driving but there are skills
30:52you could learn to be safer on the road
30:55if your score was below 60 your living
30:58dangerously you should probably take a
31:00safe driving course at a nearby driving
31:02school but there are simple things we
31:04can all do to make our road safer be
31:07alert look ahead leave enough space
31:10between your car and others and think
31:12about what to do in an emergency before
31:14it happens remember when it comes to
31:17safety you're in the driver's seat we'd
31:19like to thank the following
31:20organizations for their help in
