PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING THE TEST

 

Sent your responses to each of the questions in the form of an email message or attachment to an email message to safety@siu.edu . Under each matching questions (numbers 34, 35, and 36) put each item with the appropriate matching letter.  I will trust that you will use no resources, including the Illinois Rules of the Road and the Illinois Vehicle Code, in answering the questions below.  I am using this approach for testing at this time, and will change if I am led to believe that people are using resources (other than their knowledge learned) to take tests.
