1. According to Wisconsin's handbook, what can a driver who hits a deer legally do with it?
Why: Wisconsin's handbook states that if you hit a deer, you're allowed to keep it; if you don't want it, the next motorist can keep it, and calling police lets them issue a tag for the deer if you're not taking it.
2. How much room does Wisconsin's handbook say to give a snowplow with its lights flashing red, amber, or green?
Why: Wisconsin's winter driving tips call for giving snowplows at least 200 feet of room whenever their lights are flashing red, amber, or green, in addition to clearing snow/ice from your own vehicle and avoiding cruise control on slippery roads.
3. What is the minimum age to legally operate a farm tractor or self-propelled farm machinery on a Wisconsin highway?
Why: Wisconsin's handbook states no one under 16 years old can operate a farm tractor or self-propelled farm machinery on a highway, and warns drivers not to honk at livestock since it can scare the animals -- slowing down and keeping distance is the safer approach.
4. What does Wisconsin's handbook say to do first if your vehicle begins skidding?
Why: Wisconsin's handbook says that during a skid, you should stay off the brake, turn the wheel in the direction you want the vehicle to go, and then turn the wheel back the other way as soon as the car begins to straighten.
