    If you want to switch several lanes on a multiple lane highway, how many lanes should you take at a time? 

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    When switching several lanes on a multiple lane highway, it is recommended to take one lane at a time. This is the safest approach as it allows the driver to properly check for any vehicles in the adjacent lane and make the lane change smoothly and without causing any disruption to the flow of traffic. Taking multiple lanes at a time can be dangerous and increases the risk of collision with other vehicles.

    When do you use your high-beam headlights? 

    • When you want to switch lanes

    • When another car is coming from the opposite way

    • When you're moving trough a dark area where people can be walking or in construction zones

    Correct Answer
    A. When you're moving trough a dark area where people can be walking or in construction zones
    Explanation
    High-beam headlights are used when you're moving through a dark area where people can be walking or in construction zones. This is because high-beam headlights provide better visibility in low-light conditions, allowing you to see potential hazards such as pedestrians or obstacles in the road more clearly. Switching lanes or when another car is coming from the opposite way does not require the use of high-beam headlights.

    What's  the ideal position for placing your hand on the steering wheel? 

    • 8 and 4 o'clock or 9 and 3 o'clock

    • 10 and 2 o'clock

    • Both answers are right

    Correct Answer
    A. 8 and 4 o'clock or 9 and 3 o'clock
    Explanation
    The ideal position for placing your hand on the steering wheel is at 8 and 4 o'clock or 9 and 3 o'clock. This position allows for optimal control and maneuverability while driving. It ensures that your hands are in a balanced position, allowing for quick and precise movements when needed. Placing your hands at 10 and 2 o'clock was previously recommended, but it is now considered outdated due to the risk of injury from the airbag deploying. Both answers are right because they refer to the same recommended hand positions.

    Which activity is illegal while driving? 

    • Listening to radio

    • Using windshield wipers

    • Talking on a cell phone

    Correct Answer
    A. Talking on a cell phone
    Explanation
    Talking on a cell phone is illegal while driving because it distracts the driver from focusing on the road. Engaging in a conversation on a cell phone requires cognitive and physical attention, which can lead to delayed reaction times and impaired driving abilities. This increases the risk of accidents and endangers the driver, passengers, and other road users. Many jurisdictions have implemented laws prohibiting the use of handheld cell phones while driving to promote safety on the roads.

    Black and orange signs are there to indicate? 

    • School zones

    • Work zone information

    • Forest zones

    Correct Answer
    A. Work zone information
    Explanation
    Black and orange signs are used to indicate work zone information. These signs are typically placed in areas where construction or maintenance work is taking place on or near the road. They serve as a warning to drivers to be cautious and alert, as there may be temporary changes in traffic patterns, reduced speed limits, or other hazards in the work zone. These signs help ensure the safety of both the workers and the drivers passing through the area.

    What does a flashing yellow arrow mean? 

    • You have to stop on the side which the arrow was pointing

    • You can go carefully in the direction the arrow was pointing

    • You can increase your speed and go the opposite way the arrow was pointing

    Correct Answer
    A. You can go carefully in the direction the arrow was pointing
    Explanation
    A flashing yellow arrow indicates that you can go carefully in the direction the arrow is pointing. This means that you have the right of way to turn in that direction, but you should proceed with caution and yield to any pedestrians or oncoming traffic. It is important to pay attention to the traffic signal and follow any other signs or signals present at the intersection.

    What do you adjust to prevent seeing the glare from other driver's headlights? 

    • A day-night mirror

    • A reflective mirror

    • Your seat

    Correct Answer
    A. A day-night mirror
    Explanation
    To prevent seeing the glare from other driver's headlights, you adjust a day-night mirror. A day-night mirror is designed to reduce the intensity of the headlights from behind by tilting the mirror slightly, which helps to minimize the glare. By adjusting the day-night mirror, you can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by the bright lights and maintain better visibility while driving at night.
