Explanation:

• Question 5: Failing to check rear - view mirrors and blind areas are vision - related errors. Searching ahead is a good practice, not an error. Dialing a cell phone is a distraction, not a vision error.
• Question 6: Tailgating shows poor judgment of the distance (spatial judgment) between vehicles. Giving an incorrect signal is a signaling error, not related to spatial judgment. Not stopping at a stop sign is a traffic - rule violation, and not removing snow from the rear window is a visibility issue.
• Question 7: A driver having a lively conversation with passengers may be distracted and more likely to drive too fast, turn too wide, or stop suddenly.
• Question 8: Communication involves both sending and receiving information, which is best described as exchanging information.
• Question 9: When encountering an emergency vehicle with sirens and lights on, you should pull over as far as possible to the right and stop.

5. d. Pull over as far as possible to the right and stop until the fire truck passes you.
