• D In the second traffic lane, leaving the first one free for bicycles

14. You are driving at night through heavy falling snow. Which headlight setting works better and why?

• A High beams, because more light always means you can see further in any weather
• B Parking lights only, because they throw far less glare back at you in snow

• D Hazard lights instead of headlights, because they are easier to see in snow

15. You are about to carry a passenger for the first time. Where should you begin?

• A On a busy highway, where the steady speeds make the handling easier to judge

• C In a quiet area away from traffic, at low speed
• D In stop and go city traffic, where the low speeds limit what can go wrong
