The minimum penalties for a first underage drinking offense are a fine of up to $500, plus court costs, and a 90-day suspension.

In rainy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights.

If the police arrest you for driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and you refuse to take one or more chemical tests of breath, blood, or urine, your driving privilege will be automatically suspended for one year.

When stopped at an intersection, you should first look to your left, as vehicles coming from the left are closer to you than vehicles coming from the right. Look to your right, then look to your left again, in case there are any vehicles coming from that direction that you did not see at first glance.

It takes a person of average weight at least one hour to process the alcohol in a single drink.

Before passing, you should signal early enough for other drivers to know your plans in advance.

Crashes often happen because one driver does something that other road users are not expecting. You should communicate with other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians by doing things like signaling when slowing down, stopping, or changing direction. Use your emergency signals or horn when appropriate.

Unless a posted sign prohibits turning right on red, you may turn right at a steady red light. You must first come to a complete stop and yield to pedestrians and other traffic.

On two-lane, two-way streets or highways, you should make left turns from as close to the centerline as possible.

This sign indicates that an intersection with a crossing road is ahead.

Wearing your seat belt is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce your risk of death or injury while driving.

Your ability to handle dangerous traffic situations depends largely on searching for and identifying problems before meeting them. Looking far ahead of your vehicle does not mean you should simply stare at the center of the road. You need to continually scan the entire road, including the sides of the road.

When merging into traffic, you should signal and enter at the same speed that traffic is moving. Always yield to other traffic when entering a roadway.
