- A Two seconds
- B One second
- C Three seconds
- D Seven seconds
Show answer
C. Three seconds
Use the three-second rule: when the car ahead passes a fixed point, count the seconds until you reach it. If you get there in under three seconds, you are too close.

- C .04%
- D .15%
Show answer
B. .08%
It is illegal for anyone to drive with a BAC of .08% or more, whatever their age or vehicle. Lower limits apply to drivers under 21 and to commercial drivers, and impairment begins well below .08%.

- B Only enough room for its handlebars
