It helps the tires grip the surface more firmly, providing enhanced traction in winter conditions. d) It increases fuel consumption, which helps melt ice beneath the tires. 4) Which statement is accurate about using cruise control during winter driving? a) Cruise control in winter driving helps maintain a constant speed, reducing the chances of skidding or losing control on slippery roads. b) Cruise control can lead to loss of control on slippery roads because it may not respond quickly enough to changing conditions. c) Cruise control during winter ensures a more comfortable driving experience, allowing the driver to focus on other aspects of the road. d) Cruise control automatically adjusts for road conditions, so it’s helpful in snow. 5) Where does black ice typically form? a) Low-traffic areas b) Shaded areas c) Bridges and overpasses d) All options are correct 6) When following a snowplow on the highway, you should: a) Pass it on the right as quickly as possible b) Stay at least five car lengths behind c) Flash your headlights so it moves over d) Tailgate closely so you're not stuck behind it 7) What should you do if you are caught in a blizzard while driving? a) Speed up to get out of the storm faster b) Turn on your hazard lights and stop in the middle of the road c) Pull over safely, stay inside your car, and wait for help if you can’t see to drive d) Leave your car and try to walk to the nearest building 8) How should you start moving from a stop on icy roads? a) Press hard on the gas pedal to avoid spinning b) Shift into neutral and let the car roll c) Accelerate slowly and gently to maintain traction d) Rev the engine in park first 9) What’s the best way to stop on icy roads if your vehicle does NOT have ABS (Anti-lock Brakes)? a) Slam the brake pedal as hard as possible b) Pump the brakes gently and repeatedly to prevent locking c) Pull the parking brake d) Shift into reverse 10) How can you avoid getting stuck in deep snow? a) Use cruise control and maintain speed b) Keep spinning the wheels until you get out c) Avoid sudden starts or stops and maintain steady momentum d) Drive with the parking brake on for extra traction 11) If your vehicle stalls or gets stuck during a blizzard, what is the safest action to take? a) Keep the engine running and windows closed at all times b) Leave the vehicle to look for help immediately c) Stay inside the vehicle, run the engine occasionally, and make sure the exhaust pipe is clear of snow d) Start a fire nearby to stay warm 12) What is a good rule for following distance on slippery roads? a) Two seconds b) Three car lengths c) At least six to ten seconds d) As close as possible to prevent other cars from cutting in 13) Why should you clear snow and ice from your entire vehicle before driving? a) It looks more professional b) It prevents snow from blowing onto other cars and reduces your blind spots c) It improves gas mileage d) It helps the engine warm up faster 14) Black ice is most likely to form: a) On sunny days b) On bridges, overpasses, and shaded roadways c) In parking lots d) Only when temperatures are below 0°F 15) Before driving in snowy weather, you should always: a) Let your car idle for 20 minutes b) Check your windshield washer fluid, wipers, and tire tread c) Lower your tire pressure slightly d) Disable your headlights to save battery 16) What should you do if your vehicle gets stuck in snow? a) Spin the tires to try to dig down to the pavement b) Keep the front wheels turned to the side c) Gently rock the vehicle back and forth using forward and reverse d) Floor the gas pedal to gain momentum 17) Which item is essential to keep in your car during winter driving in Minnesota? a) Extra fuel tank b) Beach towel c) Winter emergency kit (blanket, shovel, flashlight, etc.) d) Jumper cables only 18) What’s a safe action to take if you must drive in blowing snow with reduced visibility? a) Drive with your hazard lights on continuously b) Use high-beam headlights c) Use low-beam headlights and reduce speed d) Follow closely behind another vehicle to stay on the road 19) When are roads most slippery during winter weather? a) Just after snow has stopped falling b) When snow has been on the ground for several days c) During the first few minutes of snowfall or freezing rain d) Only during nighttime 20) What should you avoid doing on curves when roads are icy? a) Braking or accelerating b) Turning the steering wheel c) Using windshield wipers d) Watching your speedometer
