Built for Iowa — not a generic quiz

  • Gravel & rural roads: Following distances, dust and visibility, washboard surfaces, and safe passing rules.
  • Farm equipment: Slow-moving vehicle triangles, wide turns, safe overtakes, and patience on county roads.
  • Work zones on I-80/I-35: Lane control, speed compliance, flagger signals, fines, and zipper-merge etiquette.
  • Winter & crosswinds: Open-plain gusts, black ice on bridges, longer stopping distances, and traction management.
  • Flooding detours: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown,” reading barricades, and safe route choices near rivers.
