Driving along you hear Police sirens or see Flashing lights on a police car:
a-drive faster because they are obviously headed somewhere so they will not come after you
b-hit your brakes so that you are going exactly the speed limit and continue on your merry way
c-slow down, pull over and stop so that you are out of the way of the Police vehicle
Driving along you come upon an accident with emergency vehicles flashing lights:
a-slow down and drive around the wreckage, sometimes this means taking a detour route
b-speed up and drive in the next lane to get away from the accident faster to be out of the way
c-slow down as much as possible so that your passenger can strain his neck trying to see what happened and if anyone is hurt, possibly getting footage of the scene to sell to the local news
Car on the south going straight has arrived at the intersection and a left turning car from the north is approaching:
a-north car should some to a complete stop and after the south car comes to a complete stop and then proceeds through the intersection, then the north car should proceed through the clear intersection
b-north car should speed up a bit so that it can roll through the intersection and turn to get out of the way, allowing the south car to come to a full stop
c-north car should wave his hand motioning to the south car to just roll through the intersection so that the north car does not have to come to a complete stop
Driving on a street with no sidewalks and there are pedestrians walking on the left side of the road as they see it or there is a cyclist riding in the right lane (and properly wearing a helmet is a must on a bike):
a-the car should keep driving and never slow down, driving as close to the bike as they can, it is especially satisfying if the motorist can manage to run the bike off the road or hit it and hope that the bike will never resurface
b-the car should come up behind the bike or up to the walkers as close as they can and then blast the horn to scare them out of the way, or off the road
c-the car should move over and pass the bike or walkers with plenty of space (there is an Illinois law that states a motorist is to give a cyclist 3 feet of clearance at minimum) when the oncoming traffic is clear, slowing down as much as is necessary
Blue car on the south at a stop sign and green car eastbound approaching with no stop sign:
a-blue car should get off the cell phone and wait until green car passes though and then proceed when the intersection is clear
b-blue car should go ahead and turn because there is no time like the present
c-blue car should honk the horn and wave hand frantically indicating that the green car is going too slow (by obeying the speed limit)
Blue car is westbound talking/texting on the cell phone and hovering over the yellow line when the black car appears eastbound:
a-blue car should cradle the phone with her shoulder in order to keep talking and stand her ground on the yellow line
b-driver of the blue car should put down the cell phone and get back in her own lane
c-the driver should not change phone habits and should cross further into the oncoming traffic lane and force the black car out of the lane (often resulting in being in the shoulder) (part “c” was only coincidentally labeled “c”)
Pedestrians are crossing the street when the red car from the west and the purple car from the north are approaching:
a-the purple car and the red car should both stop at the stop signs and wait for the pedestrians to finish crossing the street, then proceed, in turn through the intersection
b-Red car should roll through the intersection before the pedestrians have a chance to get all the way across, and the purple car should stop at the stop sign and wait for the intersection to clear
c-the red car should wave the purple car on faster through the intersection in hopes that both cars will make it through the intersection before the pedestrians finish crossing the street
Three cars approach the intersection, a green car from the west, a dark blue car from the south, and a lighter blue car from the north (in that order); the darker blue car is turning left:
a-the green car should wave on the dark blue car because it is on the right and the lighter blue car is going straight so it should go ahead and go through the intersection so the dark blue car can turn left, and then the green car may proceed
b-the darker blue car should go first because it is to the right of the other cars in the intersection, then the green car, then the lighter blue car
c-the green car should go first because it arrived first, the dark blue car second and the lighter blue car third
Traveling on a street with the speed limit posted many times at 30 mph and a car comes up behind going very fast (on our street people often 45 mph or more):
a-the red car should slow down to the speed limit, as should the black car
b-the red car should honk the horn and flash its lights while gesturing angrily
c-the black car should slow down to 25 mph and hope that the oncoming traffic keeps up and force the red car to slow down
The purple car is driving in the rain while the person on the side walk is passing a big puddle:
a-the purple car should keep driving in the same lane and go on its merry way
b-the purple car should dart into the right lane through the puddle splashing the pedestrian
c-the pedestrian should wear full body rain gear
