Why: The National Safety Council advises that marijuana alters psychomotor effects, specifically impacting reaction time. It slows down your ability to respond to hazards rather than speeding it up, making 'faster reaction time' the correct answer because it is NOT an effect.
Why: Traffic safety data consistently identifies marijuana as the second most common drug found in the bodies of drivers involved in accidents, right after alcohol. It significantly impairs reaction time and judgment.
Why: When traffic signals are dark or malfunctioning, the law requires you to treat the intersection as a four-way stop. This ensures that traffic from all directions stops and proceeds safely using right-of-way rules.
Why: According to the "Right-of-Way" rules, when two vehicles meet on a steep, narrow road, the vehicle traveling downhill must yield. This is because backing up uphill is significantly more difficult and dangerous than backing up downhill.
Why: To maintain safety and avoid distracted driving, you should never use a mobile device while your vehicle is in motion. The official manual states that you must pull safely off the road and stop before making a call.
