In good conditions, what is a safe minimum following distance behind the vehicle ahead?

• a.Half a second
• b.One car length
• c.At least a two-second gap✓
• d.No set distance is needed

Keep at least a two-second gap in good conditions and increase it in rain, snow or ice so you have time to react. (MPI)

You approach a stopped emergency vehicle or tow truck with its lights flashing on the roadside. You should:

• a.Slow down and, if you can, move over to leave a lane of space✓
• b.Maintain speed and stay in your lane
• c.Speed up to pass quickly
• d.Stop in the middle of the road

Manitoba's move-over rule requires you to slow down and, where possible, change lanes to give stopped emergency and service vehicles room. (MPI)

Before changing lanes, the safest practice is to:

• a.Use only your rear-view mirror
• b.Change quickly without signalling
• c.Rely on other drivers to move
• d.Signal, check your mirrors, and glance over your shoulder to check the blind spot✓

Mirrors leave a blind spot, so always signal and do a shoulder check before moving into another lane. (MPI)

• a.Continue, since vehicles have priority
• b.Yield and let the pedestrian cross safely✓
• c.Sound your horn to warn them

Drivers must yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections, giving them time to cross safely. (MPI)
