Information
You know the basic driver safety rules: Honking your horn is meant to alert other drivers of danger; you should signal before making a turn and so on. But do you know when to signal, exactly? Or when not to use your horn?
To test your road safety savvy, we consulted Susan S. Crotty, government affairs special project manager for the National Safety Council, to help us develop this quiz with the understanding that each state varies greatly. So please check your local regulations.

Question 1 of 8
1. Question
True or False: It’s against the law to blast your horn to let someone know you’re waiting outside to pick them up.
Correct
It depends on where you live. Check your state’s traffic laws at your local motor vehicle agency. A good rule of thumb is to use your horn only as an audible warning.

Question 3 of 8
3. Question
How early are you supposed to signal that you’re going to turn?
Correct
You’ll be able to judge the correct distance, because the signage telling you that you’re approaching an intersection is typically placed a minimum of 100 feet before it, says Crotty. The required distance varies by state, so check with your local department of transportation.

Question 4 of 8
4. Question
Your low beams are appropriate to use when you need help seeing about _____ feet in front of you.
Correct
Why 150 feet? If road conditions are perfect, this is the distance required for safe braking when you’re driving 30 miles per hour (and the reason it’s unsafe to travel faster than 30 miles per hour relying on low beams). To give you an idea of the distance, visualize half the length of a football field.

Question 5 of 8
5. Question
Use high beams when you can’t see at least _____ feet in front of you:
Correct
That’s roughly the full length of a football field, which is the distance it takes you to stop safely at a speed of about 50 miles per hour, says Crotty. Remember to switch to low beams when other vehicles are oncoming or in front of you so you don’t obstruct their ability to see the road clearly.
Incorrect

Question 8 of 8
8. Question
True or False: If someone’s at a stoplight that turns green but they don’t move right away, it’s perfectly fine to honk your horn to let them know they should go.
Correct
The best rule of thumb here is to wait four seconds before using a brief, gentle honk, says Crotty. Otherwise, especially if it’s an inexperienced driver, your honking could startle them into accelerating to an unsafe speed.
