When driving in heavy rain with standing water, you should slow down to reduce the risk of hydroplaning and avoid any sudden steering or braking.

Horses can be easily frightened by loud noises and sudden movements, so you should slow down and pass cautiously and quietly.

While both are crucial safety features, the combination of a seat belt and an airbag provides the most effective protection by working together to manage crash forces.

Motorcycles are lighter and can stop in a shorter distance than cars, so drivers must leave extra following distance to avoid a rear-end collision.

A flashing red light has the same meaning as a stop sign; you must come to a complete stop and then proceed when the way is clear.

Chevron signs are used to provide additional emphasis and guidance for a sharp change in the direction of the road.

This sign indicates the maximum legal speed allowed on this roadway under ideal driving conditions.

A green light indicates you may proceed, but you must first yield to any vehicles or pedestrians still in the intersection and proceed with caution.

A yellow light means the signal is about to turn red; you must stop if you can do so safely, or if you are already in the intersection, clear it cautiously.

When you encounter an animal on the road, slow down and be prepared for unpredictable behavior; do not swerve, as this could cause you to lose control.

In dense fog, use your low beam headlights, reduce your speed, and increase your following distance to compensate for severely limited visibility.

The standard hand signal for a right turn is to extend your left arm out the window and bend it upward at the elbow, forming a 90-degree angle.

Wet roads reduce tire grip, increase stopping distances, and create the risk of hydroplaning, all of which require greater caution from the driver.

Signs with a green background and white lettering are guide signs that provide information on destinations, distances, and directions.

The stop sign has a unique eight-sided shape (an octagon) to ensure it is easily recognizable to drivers from any direction.

The leading cause of motor vehicle crashes is human error, which includes actions like distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving.

You must always follow the instructions of a law enforcement officer, even if their directions contradict traffic signals or signs.

To prevent brake overheating and maintain control on a long downhill slope, shift into a lower gear to use engine braking.

If a train is approaching, exit your vehicle immediately and run toward the train but at an angle away from the tracks to avoid being struck by your vehicle or debris upon impact.

This sign marks a center lane that is shared by traffic from both directions for the purpose of making left turns.

To avoid being blinded by oncoming headlights, you should look away from the lights and focus on the right edge of the road or the white fog line.

In heavy snow, you must slow down and increase your following distance significantly to account for reduced visibility and much longer stopping distances on slippery surfaces.

After passing, you should not return to the right lane until you can see both headlights of the vehicle you passed in your rearview mirror.

In Vermont, bicyclists have the same rights and are subject to the same duties as operators of motor vehicles, including the use of hand signals.
