  1. 0.01
  2. 0.04
  3. 0.08
  4. 0.1

If you have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15%, your chances of having an accident is

  1. 6 times
  2. double
  3. 25 times
  4. 3 times

Correct answer: C

Explanation: If you have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15%, your chances of having an accident is 25 times more than driving sober.

When you are driving in the States, you have consented to:

  1. Carpool when necessary
  2. 1 and 3
  3. Take a test for the alcohol level in your blood, breath, or urine
  4. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Explanation: Under “implied consent” laws in all states, when they apply for a driver’s license, motorists give consent to field sobriety tests and chemical tests to determine impairment when requested by law enforcement.

If the rear end of your cars starts skidding to the left, you should:

  1. Steer to the right
  2. Steer to the left
  3. Brake hard
  4. Speed up

Correct answer: B

Explanation: When a car skids to the left (rear-wheel skid), you should steer in the direction of the skid (to the left) to regain control, as per the NJ Driver Manual (Section 4.9, "Skids"). Steering to the right would worsen the skid. Braking hard can lock the wheels and worsen the skid. Also, accelerating increases the skid risk.
