- A Under 16
- B Under 18
- C Under 12
- D Under 8

- B It is illegal for anyone under 16 to ride in front
- C Children distract the driver more in front
- D Front air bags are unsafe for them

D. Front air bags are unsafe for them
Air bags save adult lives but can seriously injure children under 12. If a child must ride in front, turn the passenger air bag off if your vehicle has a switch.

Arizona requires a working horn on your vehicle. From how far away must it be heard?
- A 100 feet
- B 500 feet
- C 200 feet
