The round yellow sign with a black "X" and the letters "RR" is the advance warning that you are approaching a highway-rail grade crossing.

BAC, or Blood Alcohol Concentration, is the metric used to measure the amount of alcohol in a person's bloodstream, expressed as a percentage.

To ensure you have safely cleared the vehicle you passed, wait until you can see both of its headlights in your rearview mirror before merging back into the lane.

It is illegal in Mississippi to operate a vehicle while impaired by any drug, including prescribed medication, that affects your ability to drive safely.

This sign indicates a special, reduced speed limit that is in effect during nighttime hours.

When driving in fog, use your low beam headlights because high beams will reflect off the moisture in the air, creating glare and making it more difficult to see.

On cold, wet days, shaded areas of the road stay colder longer and are the first to freeze and the last to thaw, making them particularly icy and slippery.

Mississippi has a Zero Tolerance Law for underage drinking and driving, making it illegal for anyone under 21 to operate a vehicle with a BAC of 0.02% or more.

Mirrors should be properly positioned before you begin driving to ensure you have the best possible view of the areas around your vehicle.

The color red on traffic signs is reserved for stop, yield, and prohibition signs, requiring immediate driver action.

Mississippi law requires drivers to pull over to the right-hand edge of the road and stop for any approaching emergency vehicle using its siren or flashing lights.

A U-turn requires a wide turning radius and must be started from the lane closest to the center line, not from a right-hand lane.

Driving significantly slower than the flow of traffic can be hazardous as it disrupts the traffic pattern and may cause other drivers to make sudden lane changes.

Hydroplaning is a dangerous condition where a vehicle's tires lose contact with the road and ride on a thin film of water, causing a loss of steering and braking control.

Double solid yellow center lines mean that traffic from either direction is prohibited from passing.

The only method to sober up is to allow your body time to metabolize the alcohol; this process cannot be sped up by coffee or other means.

Regulatory signs, such as speed limit signs, are typically vertical rectangles with black lettering or symbols on a white background.

This sign warns that a four-way intersection is ahead; be prepared for crossing traffic.

The safest way to handle a tailgater is to remove the immediate danger by allowing them to pass, either by changing lanes or pulling over when safe.

Drowsy driving is a risk for any driver who is tired, and the danger is magnified on long, monotonous roads that can lull a driver to sleep.

To avoid the glare from an oncoming vehicle's high beams, you should shift your gaze down and to the right, using the white line on the edge of the road as a guide.

Two solid yellow lines mark the center of the road and indicate that passing is forbidden for vehicles traveling in either direction.

This sign warns that the paved road surface is ending and will be replaced by a gravel or earth road.

Any substance that impairs your judgment, coordination, or reaction time, including many legal prescription and over-the-counter drugs, can make driving unsafe.

A vehicle turning left does not have the right-of-way and must yield to all oncoming vehicles that are proceeding straight through the intersection.

On snow-covered roads, traction is significantly reduced, so all actions—accelerating, braking, and turning—must be done slowly and gently to prevent skidding.

This sign indicates the maximum recommended safe speed for navigating the exit ramp.

If a driver is following too closely, the safest action is to increase the space ahead of you and move to another lane when it is safe to let them pass.

A vehicle entering an intersection must yield to traffic that is already present and proceeding through the intersection.

Motorcycles can stop much more quickly than cars, so you should maintain a following distance of at least three to four seconds to avoid a rear-end collision.
