    You must notify the DMV within 5 days if you:

    • Sell or transfer you vehicle

    • Paint your vehicle a different color

    • Are cited for a traffic violation

    Correct Answer
    A. Sell or transfer you vehicle
    Explanation
    If you sell or transfer your vehicle, you must notify the DMV within 5 days. This is important because it allows the DMV to update their records and transfer the ownership of the vehicle to the new owner. Notifying the DMV also ensures that you are no longer held responsible for any future violations or accidents involving the vehicle. It is a legal requirement to inform the DMV about any changes in ownership to ensure proper documentation and avoid any potential legal issues.

    • The center lane

    • Any lane as long as it seems safe to do so

    Correct Answer
    A. The lane closest to the left curb
    Explanation
    When turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, it is safest to start from the lane closest to the left curb. This allows for a clear and direct path for the turn, minimizing the risk of colliding with vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Starting from the lane closest to the left curb also ensures that you are following the flow of traffic and making a proper left turn.

    • When making a call while stopped at a red light

    • When making a call for emergency assistance

    • Never

    Correct Answer
    A. When making a call for emergency assistance
    Explanation
    It is legal to use a cell phone without a hands-free device while driving only when making a call for emergency assistance. This means that if there is a situation that requires immediate help, such as reporting an accident or a crime, it is acceptable to use a cell phone without a hands-free device. However, in all other situations, it is illegal to use a cell phone without a hands-free device while driving.

    • Be prepared to stop if children are in the crosswalk

    Correct Answer
    A. Be prepared to stop if children are in the crosswalk
    Explanation
    The yellow sign mentioned in the question indicates that there may be a crosswalk ahead, and it is important to be cautious and prepared to stop if there are children in the crosswalk. This sign serves as a warning to drivers to be aware of the potential presence of pedestrians, particularly children, and to exercise caution and be ready to stop to ensure their safety.

  • 6. 

    When a traffic light signal light isn't working at an intersection, you should:

    • Come to a complete stop, then proceed when it is safe

    • Stop before entering and let all other traffic go first

    • Slow down or stop, if necessary

    Correct Answer
    A. Come to a complete stop, then proceed when it is safe
    Explanation
    When a traffic light signal light isn't working at an intersection, the correct course of action is to come to a complete stop and then proceed when it is safe. This is because without a functioning traffic light, the right of way is not clearly indicated. Stopping allows the driver to assess the situation and ensure that there is no immediate danger before proceeding. It is important to prioritize safety and yield to any other vehicles or pedestrians that may have the right of way.

  • 7. 

    To be sure a lane is clear before you change lanes, you should:

    • Look in you outside mirrors only

    • Look over your shoulder into the lane you want to enter

    • Always turn you head and look over your right shoulder

    Correct Answer
    A. Look over your shoulder into the lane you want to enter
    Explanation
    To be sure a lane is clear before changing lanes, it is important to look over your shoulder into the lane you want to enter. This is because blind spots can exist in the outside mirrors, and simply relying on them may not provide a complete view of the adjacent lane. By physically turning your head and looking over your shoulder, you can effectively check for any vehicles or obstacles in your intended lane of travel, ensuring a safe lane change.

    Rate this question:

  • 8.

    • Most cold meications can make a person drowsy

    • Over-the-counter medications cannot impair driving ability if taken in recommended dosages

    • Medications are safe to take at any time if prescribed by a doctor

    Correct Answer
    A. Most cold meications can make a person drowsy
    Explanation
    Most cold medications can make a person drowsy. This means that if someone takes cold medication, it is possible that they may feel sleepy or have reduced alertness, which can impair their ability to drive safely. It is important for individuals taking cold medications to be aware of these potential side effects and to avoid driving or operating machinery if they are feeling drowsy.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is true about large trucks?

    • Truchs have fewer blind spots due to the vehicle's height

    • It is best to pass trucks very slowly and on the right side

    • Trucks often appear to travel slower because of their large size

    Correct Answer
    A. Trucks often appear to travel slower because of their large size
    Explanation
    Trucks often appear to travel slower because of their large size. This is because their large size makes it more difficult for them to accelerate and decelerate quickly. Additionally, their size can make it harder for drivers to gauge their speed accurately. Therefore, even if a truck is traveling at the same speed as other vehicles, it may appear to be moving slower due to its size.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Instructions from school crossing guards must be obeyed:

    • At all times

    • During school hours only

    • Only when children are present in front of a school

    Correct Answer
    A. At all times
    Explanation
    School crossing guards are responsible for ensuring the safety of pedestrians, especially children, when crossing the road near a school. Their instructions should be followed at all times, regardless of whether it is during school hours or if children are present. This is because their primary role is to prevent accidents and maintain order, and their instructions are designed to prioritize safety. Therefore, it is important to obey their instructions consistently to ensure the well-being of everyone crossing the road near a school.

    • Legal, if it is your child

    • Illegal at all times

    • Not restricted by law

    Correct Answer
    A. Illegal at all times
    Explanation
    Smoking inside a vehicle when a person younger than 18 years of age is present is illegal at all times. This means that regardless of the relationship between the smoker and the minor, it is against the law to smoke in a vehicle when a person under 18 is present. This law is in place to protect the health and well-being of minors, as secondhand smoke can be harmful to their developing lungs and overall health.

    • Have the right-of-way

    • Should first stop and check for cross traffic

    • Need at least a 4-second gap in traffic

    Correct Answer
    A. Need at least a 4-second gap in traffic
    Explanation
    When changing lanes or merging with another lane, it is important to ensure that there is enough space and time to safely move into the new lane. Having at least a 4-second gap in traffic allows for enough distance between vehicles, reducing the risk of a collision. This ensures that other vehicles have sufficient time to react and adjust their speed if necessary. It is crucial to be patient and wait for a suitable gap in traffic before making the lane change or merge.

    Rate this question:

    • Give the right-of-way to traffic on the road you wish to enter or cross

    • Keep a steady speed and check traffic both ways

    Correct Answer
    A. Give the right-of-way to traffic on the road you wish to enter or cross
    Explanation
    This red and white sign is a yield sign. It indicates that you should give the right-of-way to traffic on the road you wish to enter or cross. This means that you should wait for other vehicles to pass before proceeding. It is important to be cautious and ensure that it is safe to enter or cross the road before doing so.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    If you have a green light, but traffic is blocking the intersession:

    • Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears

    • Enter the intersection and wait until traffic clears

    • Merge into another lane and try to go around the traffic

    Correct Answer
    A. Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears
    Explanation
    If you have a green light but traffic is blocking the intersection, the correct course of action is to stay out of the intersection until the traffic clears. This is because blocking the intersection can disrupt the flow of traffic and cause congestion. It is important to wait for the traffic to clear before entering the intersection to ensure the safety and efficiency of all vehicles on the road.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    You must make a written Report of Traffic Accident (SR 1) to DMV if you:

    • Fail to pay your registartion fees within 90 days if receiving your renewal notice

    • Are involved in an accident and there is more than $750 in damages

    • Allow a licensed driver from another state to drive your vehicle

    Correct Answer
    A. Are involved in an accident and there is more than $750 in damages
    Explanation
    If you are involved in an accident and there is more than $750 in damages, you must make a written Report of Traffic Accident (SR 1) to DMV. This is because accidents causing significant damage need to be reported to the authorities for documentation and investigation purposes. The report helps in determining fault, assessing insurance claims, and ensuring that all parties involved follow the necessary legal procedures.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    You are getting ready to make a right turn. You should:

    • Always stop before making a right turn

    • Signal during the last 100 feet before you turn

    • Slow down and signal as you start your turn

    Correct Answer
    A. Signal during the last 100 feet before you turn
    Explanation
    When making a right turn, it is important to signal during the last 100 feet before the turn. This is to inform other drivers and pedestrians of your intention to turn, allowing them to anticipate your movements and adjust their own accordingly. It also helps to prevent any potential accidents or confusion on the road. Slowing down and signaling as you start your turn is not sufficient as it may not give enough warning to others, while stopping before making a right turn is not necessary unless there is a specific requirement or traffic condition that requires it.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Cargo extending more than four feet from you rear bumper:

    • Is illegal under all circumstances

    • Must be marked with a red flag or lights

    • Does not legally have to be marked, but it is a good idea

    Correct Answer
    A. Must be marked with a red flag or lights
    Explanation
    Cargo extending more than four feet from your rear bumper must be marked with a red flag or lights. This is important for the safety of other drivers on the road as it helps to indicate the presence of the extended cargo. Without proper marking, other drivers may not be aware of the extended cargo and could potentially collide with it. Therefore, it is a legal requirement and a good idea to mark the extended cargo to prevent accidents and ensure road safety.

    • Waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light

    • Parked on a hill or sloping driveway

    • Parked on the side of a level roadway and there is no curb

    Correct Answer
    A. Parked on a hill or sloping driveway
    Explanation
    When parked on a hill or sloping driveway, it is important to turn your wheels so that if your vehicle were to roll, it would roll into the curb or edge of the road. This is a safety measure to prevent your vehicle from rolling into traffic or causing damage. In all other situations, such as waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light or parking on a level roadway without a curb, your wheels should be pointed straight ahead to ensure stability and ease of movement when you resume driving.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    You are on a two-way road and the vehicle ahead of you is turning left into a driveway. You may legally pass the vehicle on the right:

    • If there is enough road between the curb and the vehicle

    • Even if you must drive in a bicycle lane to do so

    • Even if you must cross a solid white line painted on the road

    Correct Answer
    A. If there is enough road between the curb and the vehicle
    Explanation
    You may legally pass the vehicle on the right if there is enough road between the curb and the vehicle. This means that there is sufficient space for you to safely pass the vehicle without encroaching on the curb or any other obstructions. It is important to ensure that you have enough space to pass safely and that you do not violate any traffic rules or regulations.

    The speed limit in any alley is:

    • 20 mph

    • 15 mph

    • 25 mph

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 mph
    Explanation
    The speed limit in any alley is 15 mph. Alleys are typically narrow and have limited visibility, which increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, a lower speed limit is set to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles. By adhering to the 15 mph speed limit, drivers can navigate alleys more cautiously and have enough time to react to any unexpected obstacles or pedestrians that may appear.

    • Fined up to $1000

    • Jailed in the county jail for not more than one year

    • Given a warning and a citation

    Correct Answer
    A. Jailed in the county jail for not more than one year
    Explanation
    If a peace officer signals you to drive to the edge of the roadway and you choose to ignore their warning and flee the scene, you are guilty of a misdemeanor. As a result, you can be sentenced to jail time in the county jail for a maximum period of one year. This punishment is likely to be more severe than simply being fined or receiving a warning and a citation.

    You should adjust your rearview and side mirrors:

    • Before you get into the car

    • Before you start driving

    • After you start driving

    Correct Answer
    A. Before you start driving
    Explanation
    Before you start driving, you should adjust your rearview and side mirrors. This is important because properly adjusted mirrors will provide you with the best possible view of the road and your surroundings. By adjusting the mirrors before you start driving, you can ensure that you have optimal visibility and minimize blind spots. This will help you to be aware of other vehicles and potential hazards, improving your overall safety on the road.

    You should stop before crossing railroad tracks:

    • Even when the railroad tracks are out-of-service

    • Any time a train may be approaching, whether or not you can see it

    • If your vehicle has three or more axies

    Correct Answer
    A. Any time a train may be approaching, whether or not you can see it
    Explanation
    The correct answer states that you should stop before crossing railroad tracks when a train may be approaching, regardless of whether or not you can see it. This is because trains can be large and fast-moving, making it difficult to judge their distance and speed accurately. Stopping before crossing allows you to ensure your safety and avoid any potential collisions with trains. It is always important to exercise caution when crossing railroad tracks to prevent accidents.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    If there is a deep puddle in the road ahead, you should:

    • Maintian the posted speed to make it through the water

    • Steer your vehicle around the water, if possible

    • Shift into neutral as you drive through the water

    Correct Answer
    A. Steer your vehicle around the water, if possible
    Explanation
    When encountering a deep puddle in the road, it is advisable to steer your vehicle around the water if possible. This is because driving through a deep puddle can cause hydroplaning, which occurs when the tires lose contact with the road surface due to the presence of water. Hydroplaning can result in a loss of control over the vehicle, making it dangerous. Therefore, it is safer to avoid driving through deep puddles and steer around them if there is a clear path to do so.

  • 26. 

    When driving in fog, snow, rain, you should use your:

    • Low-beam headlights

    • High-beam headlights

    • Running lights

    Correct Answer
    A. Low-beam headlights
    Explanation
    When driving in fog, snow, or rain, it is important to use low-beam headlights. This is because low-beam headlights provide better visibility in adverse weather conditions by illuminating the road directly in front of the vehicle without reflecting back into the driver's eyes. High-beam headlights, on the other hand, can cause glare and reduce visibility in such conditions. Running lights are not sufficient for providing adequate visibility in low-visibility situations, so low-beam headlights are the best option.

    • The front seat is generally the safest place in the car for children sic years of age and older

    Correct Answer
    A. Children under age one should not ride in the front seat in airbag-equipped vehicles
    Explanation
    Children under age one should not ride in the front seat in airbag-equipped vehicles. This is because airbags can be dangerous for young children, as they are designed to protect adults. The force of an airbag deploying can cause serious injury or even death to a child. It is safer for young children to ride in the back seat of the vehicle, away from the impact of the airbag.

    • Using cruise control on residential streets

    Correct Answer
    A. Wearing headset that covers both ears
    Explanation
    Wearing a headset that covers both ears while driving is dangerous because it can impair the driver's ability to hear important auditory cues, such as sirens or horns. This can lead to accidents and put the driver, passengers, and other road users at risk. Additionally, in many jurisdictions, it is also illegal to wear headphones or headsets that cover both ears while driving, as it is considered a distraction and can hinder the driver's ability to focus on the road.

    • The vehicle on the right.

    • The vehicle that arrives first.

    Correct Answer
    A. The vehicle on the through road.
    Explanation
    The vehicle on the through road has the right-of-way at the intersection because it is the vehicle that continues straight and does not have to yield to any other vehicles. The vehicle on the road that ends must yield to the vehicle on the through road and wait for it to pass before proceeding.

    • The carpool lane and must merge into the next lane.

    • A special lane for slow moving vehicles.

    • An exit lane.

    Correct Answer
    A. An exit lane.
    Explanation
    The presence of thick broken white lines on the left side of your lane indicates that you are driving in an exit lane. Exit lanes are designed to allow vehicles to safely exit the freeway. These lanes are usually marked with special road markings, such as thick broken white lines, to clearly indicate their purpose and warn other drivers to stay in their lanes. Therefore, in this scenario, you would need to continue driving in the exit lane until you reach the designated exit point.

    The speed limit for a school zone where children are present is __, unless otherwise posted.

    • 15 mph.

    • 25 mph.

    • 20 mph.

    Correct Answer
    A. 25 mph.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 25 mph. In school zones where children are present, the speed limit is typically reduced to ensure the safety of the children. Unless there are signs indicating a different speed limit, the general speed limit for school zones is 25 mph. This lower speed limit allows drivers to have more time to react to any unexpected situations and reduces the risk of accidents or injuries. It is important for drivers to be aware of and adhere to the speed limit in school zones to protect the safety of the children.
