The manual says fines are doubled in active work zones for certain violations. Which violation does it specifically name?
-
A.
Improper use of turn signals.
-
B.
Failing to signal a lane change.
-
C.
Following too closely.
-
D.
Speeding in an active work zone. Correct
The answer is "Speeding in an active work zone."
The manual names speeding as the doubled-fine violation in active work zones. The pull toward C comes from two adjacent work-zone rules a reader can blur together: the manual tells you to double your following distance because rear-end crashes are common there, but the fines it says get doubled are for speeding itself, not tailgating.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Improper use of turn signals.
This passage specifically names speeding, not turn-signal use, as the example of a doubled-fine violation. This answer assumes the doubled-fine rule sweeps in any moving violation a driver could commit inside a work zone.
B. Failing to signal a lane change.
The quoted rule specifically names speeding; lane-change signaling is a separate driving rule. This answer carries the highway instruction to signal every lane change into the work-zone doubled-fine list.
C. Following too closely.
This passage gives following distance as a work-zone safety rule, while the doubled-fine violation it specifically names is speeding. This answer merges the 'double your following distance' safety tip and the rear-end-crash warning next to it into a doubled-fine tailgating rule.
