    • A.

    B. Notice that the light is red so you will have to make a complete stop before determining if it is clear to proceed with caution.
    D. Ensure there are no pedestrians that are going to cross in front of you just out of the current view.

    The only incorrect response is to focus on gas prices because you should be focused on the road and your surroundings.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The speed limit is 40 and there is a green light. This driver, however, is going a slower speed. A good explanation for this is that the light is a stale green, meaning it has been green for awhile.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a light has been green for a while, the driver should anticipate having to slow down just in case the light turn yellow. Also you may notice there is some water on the road so it is good to adjust speed based on the road condition.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A car has just pulled out right in front of you. It is good practice to first:

    • A.

      Let your foot off the accelerator and cover the brake in the event that you need to slow down.

    • B.

      Keep going like they aren't there since they should be out of the way when you get there.

    • C.

      Slam on the brakes as fast as you can.

    • D.

      Give them the one fingered wave.

    Correct Answer
    A. Let your foot off the accelerator and cover the brake in the event that you need to slow down.
    Explanation
    The best option here is to cover the brake. There is still plenty of room between you and the car, and you are only going about 40 mph. Slamming on the brakes would be inappropriate because a car behind you may not be anticipating your immediate stop, and the car in front of you will be out of the way in an ideal situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    You are driving in front of Walmart and people keep walking in front of you. You are stopped at a stop sign and ten minutes late for work. In the current situation the next step is to:

    Correct Answer
    D. Sit and wait patiently until no one remains in the crosswalk. If it remains clear, then proceed slowly and with caution.
    Explanation
    The pedestrians have the right of way so the best course of action is to wait until all is clear. It would not be advisable to back up quickly since there could be people or traffic behind you. Honking and creeping forward are also not advised in this situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    You suddenly decide that you want to eat at taco bell for lunch. Before/while changing to the left lane you should: (mark all that apply)

    • A.

      Check your blind spot.

    • B.

      Check your mirrors.

    • C.

      Jerk over quickly before the lane is filled.

    • D.

      Put on your left blinker.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Check your blind spot.
    B. Check your mirrors.
    D. Put on your left blinker.
    Explanation
    Before changing lanes one should always check their mirrors and blind spots to look for possible hazards. Blinkers should always be used to signal a change in position so the vehicles around you will be aware of your lateral movement. Do not change lanes too quickly to avoid surprising other drivers or losing control.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    You are in the right turn lane and planning on turning on the road where the red vehicle is waiting. Mark all of the appropriate actions to do before turning.

    • A.

      Put on your right blinker well in advanced.

    • B.

      Brake early and slowly because of the road conditions.

    • C.

      Speed through the turn so you get to your destination more quickly.

    • D.

      Turn on your hazard warning lights since you will be slowing down on the main road.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Put on your right blinker well in advanced.
    B. Brake early and slowly because of the road conditions.
    Explanation
    Using a blinker and slowing down early are both good practice in this situation. Hazard lights are not necessary here because you are slowing down to turn, and you are in the turn lane. The hazards should be used when you are unexpectedly going slowly and you need to signal other drivers of this unexpected speed.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Speeding through school zones while children are present is not only dangerous, but it can also drastically increase the fines if you are pulled over.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    School zone speed limits are enforced during school hours so always be cautious when driving through them because you never know when a child could be crossing the street.

    Rate this question:

  • 13.

    • A.

      Animals crossing the interstate

    • B.

      People crossing the road

    • C.

      Airplanes landing nearby

    • D.

      Slow moving vehicles

    Correct Answer
    A. Animals crossing the interstate
    Explanation
    Always be aware of animals, like deer, crossing the roadway at any time of the day, but especially night. Hitting a deer at high speeds often totals a vehicle and can injure the driver severely.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    You have been driving down the interstate for hours and you start to feel a little drowsy. You should consider doing the following since it is the safest option for yourself and others:

    • A.

      Take the next exit or stop at the next rest stop to take a break.

    • B.

      Pull over on the side of the road to rest.

    • C.

      Keep driving through the drowsiness because you could never fall asleep at the wheel.

    • D.

      Turn up your music really loud to keep yourself awake.

    Correct Answer
    A. Take the next exit or stop at the next rest stop to take a break.
    Explanation
    Stopping on the shoulder of the interstate is not advised because the vehicles around you are traveling at high speeds and may not be able to react fast enough if you are in their way. Turning up your music really loud would make you less aware of your surroundings and may not help wake you up for very long. It is best to take an exit and rest until feeling better.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    There is a car on the shoulder of the interstate up ahead. Where should you position your car to avoid this obstacle?

    • A.

      If the left lane is clear, then turn on your blinker and move over. If not, then stay to the left side of the right lane and slow down.

    • B.

      Keep going as you are because the car is likely abandoned.

    • C.

      Pull over to see if they need help.

    • D.

      Quickly move to the left lane because you want to be as far as possible from the hazard on your right.

    Correct Answer
    A. If the left lane is clear, then turn on your blinker and move over. If not, then stay to the left side of the right lane and slow down.
    Explanation
    Checking if it is clear and then possibly moving over is the best option. No one is signaling for help and it is always dangerous to pull on the side of the interstate so stopping is not the best choice. Quick movements without checking your surroundings is also a good way to cause an accident.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    After passing you, you notice the white minivan is cutting back into your lane.  You should:

      Brake to prevent them from hitting you

    • B.

      Speed up so that they can see you in their blind spot

    • C.

      Put on your hazard flashers and wave your arms out of your window so that they see you

    Correct Answer
    A. Brake to prevent them from hitting you
    Explanation
    Slowing down will prevent them from hitting you

    Rate this question:

    • B.

      Continuously beep your horn while aggressively passing so that the truck driver knows you are there

    • C.

      Drive on the rumble strip to get more space and alert the truck driver that you are there

    • D.

      Continue passing the truck at a consistent speed

    Correct Answer
    D. Continue passing the truck at a consistent speed
    Explanation
    While passing a semi-truck, be aware that you will be in their blind spot and that they will not be able to see you, so don't stay next to them for long.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    When stopping behind a stopped car, it is the best practice to:

    • A.

      Leave enough space so that you can still see the back tires of the car in front of you.

    • B.

      Pull up as close as you can so that there is plenty of room in the turn lane for more people.

    • C.

      Stop where you are in the picture because any closer would be too close.

    • D.

      Flash your lights so they know that you are behind them.

    Correct Answer
    A. Leave enough space so that you can still see the back tires of the car in front of you.
    Explanation
    Stopping too close to the car is unsafe because if you are hit, then you will roll forward and hit the person in front of you. Flashing lights is not necessary in this situation. Leaving too much room will cause traffic to build up behind you.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    If you are planning on getting off on the rest stop, then when should you start slowing down to the recommended 20 mph?

    • A.

    • B.

      As soon as you see the sign so that way you are already going the speed needed to get off on the exit.

    • C.

      Speed up in case someone behind you is getting off the ramp too.

    • D.

      Only slow down if there are others around you.

    Correct Answer
    A. Slow down once you are in the exit lane and off the two interstate lanes.
    Explanation
    You don't want to slow down too early because the other vehicles on the interstate are still trying to go 70 mph. It is best to begin slowing once you have moved over into the right exit lane.

    Rate this question:

      When there is a hazard in one of the right most lanes.

    • C.

      When there is an exit on the left side of the interstate that you need to take.

    • D.

      When an ambulance is coming up behind you on the interstate.

    A. When passing slow moving vehicles.
    B. When there is a hazard in one of the right most lanes.
    C. When there is an exit on the left side of the interstate that you need to take.

    • C.

      Be aware of the people turning in the other lane so they don't come too close.

      Wait until there is no one else turning.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Keep to the right of any yellow line.
    B. Stay in your lane by not going over the white lane separation line.
    C. Be aware of the people turning in the other lane so they don't come too close.
    Explanation
    The double turn lane is used so that more than one person can turn at once. It is important to stay in your lane and not creep into the other turn lane or turn into oncoming traffic.

    • A.

      4 seconds

    • B.

      8 seconds

    • C.

      2 seconds

    • D.

      2 car lengths

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Your cruise control is set to 70 mph and you are quickly approaching the car in front of you. Your car is an old one and doesn't have any fancy cruise control technology. What are good adjustments you could make to avoid hitting the car in front of you?

    • A.

      Turn off you cruise control so you don't keep gaining on the car.

    • B.

      If you have time before reaching the car, check your mirrors and blind spots so you can change lanes if it is clear.

    • C.

      Adjust the speed on your cruise control to go slower by 1 mph.

    • D.

      Pass the car on the right side if the left lane is occupied.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Turn off you cruise control so you don't keep gaining on the car.
    B. If you have time before reaching the car, check your mirrors and blind spots so you can change lanes if it is clear.
    Explanation
    Since you were said to be quickly gaining on the car, it is not enough to slow your car down 1 mph with the speed controls. Passing on the shoulder is also not an option. Either change lanes or turn off the cruise control and use brakes if you must.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      Speed up and swiftly park in the spot before someone else takes it.

    • D.

      Turn to the right and back into the spot.

    A. Leave plenty of room so the red car can continue backing up.
    B. Put on your turn signal so surrounding cars know of your intent to park in the spot.
    Explanation
    Since angled parking is one-way, you do not back into the spots because you would be facing the wrong way when you leave. Take your time and signal to everyone else that you will be parking in the recently vacated spot.

    B. Look up your route ahead of time.
    C. Have a passenger help navigate.
    Explanation
    Planning a trip and your route before you travel is an excellent idea. Being in the middle of the traffic lanes could be dangerous and when you pull out, you could get hit from behind by a car traveling at high speeds.

    Correct Answer
    A. Separate hazards - slow down so you are not trapped in between the car coming from the opposite direction and the obstacle on the side of the road.
