- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Typically, during a driver's license exam, committing a traffic law violation, no matter how minor, may result in an automatic failure of the exam.

When passing another vehicle, a driver should wait until the car the driver just passed is visible in the rearview mirror before turning back into the righthand lane.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

When passing another vehicle, it is important for a driver to wait until the car they just passed is visible in the rearview mirror before turning back into the right-hand lane. This is because it ensures that there is enough distance between the two vehicles and reduces the risk of a collision. By waiting until the car is visible in the rearview mirror, the driver can ensure that they have successfully completed the passing maneuver and can safely merge back into the right-hand lane.

Drivers on a one-way street can legally make a left turn at a red light onto another one-way street that also moves traffic to the left, but only after coming to a complete stop and yielding the right-of-way to any oncoming traffic or pedestrians within the intersection.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

In many jurisdictions, it is permissible for drivers on a one-way street to turn left at a red light onto another one-way street that moves traffic to the left, after making a proper stop and yielding to traffic or pedestrians within the intersection. This specific traffic rule is designed to improve traffic flow and efficiency, especially in situations where there is no opposing traffic to conflict with. However, traffic laws can vary by location, so it's essential to check the specific rules and regulations in your area to ensure compliance with local traffic laws.

How should a driver proceed if within an intersection waiting to make a left turn and the traffic signal light turns red?
- Wait in the intersection until the light turns green
- Yield to oncoming traffic and finish your turn
- Make sure it’s clear, then back up from the intersection
Correct Answer

A. Yield to oncoming traffic and finish your turn

Explanation

When a driver is within an intersection waiting to make a left turn and the traffic signal light turns red, they should yield to oncoming traffic and finish their turn. This means that even though the light has turned red, the driver should wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic and complete their left turn before clearing the intersection. This ensures that the driver does not obstruct the flow of traffic and allows for a smooth and safe transition for all vehicles involved.

Explanation

In most places, it is generally not allowed to pass another vehicle by driving on the shoulder of the road. The shoulder is typically reserved for emergency use, pedestrian access, or for vehicles that have broken down. Passing on the shoulder can be dangerous and is often illegal because it can lead to accidents, as other drivers may not expect a vehicle to be passing on the shoulder. Drivers are typically required to pass another vehicle legally, using the designated lanes and following traffic laws and regulations. Passing on the shoulder is considered an unsafe and prohibited driving maneuver in most jurisdictions.

A driver must give the right or left turn signal when changing lanes.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

When a driver is changing lanes, it is important for them to indicate their intention to other drivers on the road. Giving the right or left turn signal communicates to others that the driver intends to move to the right or left lane respectively. This helps in maintaining safety and preventing accidents by giving other drivers the opportunity to adjust their speed or position accordingly. Therefore, it is correct to say that a driver must give the right or left turn signal when changing lanes.

In urban areas, drivers moving out of an alley, building, private road, or driveway need not come to a complete stop before entering the roadway if the roadway is clear of traffic.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

In urban areas, drivers moving out of an alley, building, private road, or driveway must come to a complete stop before entering the roadway, even if the roadway is clear of traffic. This is because there may still be pedestrians or cyclists crossing the roadway, and stopping allows the driver to ensure it is safe to proceed. Failing to stop can lead to accidents and endanger the lives of others.

For what distance should a continuous turn signal be given when making a left or right turn in a business or residential district?
- Not less than 50 feet before turning
- Not less than 75 feet before turning
- Not less than 100 feet before turning
Correct Answer

A. Not less than 100 feet before turning

Explanation

When making a left or right turn in a business or residential district, it is important to provide a continuous turn signal for a sufficient distance to alert other drivers and pedestrians. The correct answer states that the turn signal should be given not less than 100 feet before turning. This distance allows other road users enough time to react and adjust their driving accordingly. It helps to ensure a safer and smoother flow of traffic by providing ample warning of the upcoming turn.

Rate this question:
12.

A driver may proceed immediately when waiting at an intersection and the traffic signal light turns green.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

When waiting at an intersection, a driver cannot proceed immediately when the traffic signal light turns green. They must first ensure that it is safe to proceed and that there are no other vehicles or pedestrians in their path. The driver should also be aware of any turning restrictions or other traffic control devices that may affect their ability to proceed. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

What should drivers do when approaching a construction area?
- Increase their speed to get out of the way quickly
- Slow down and yield the right-of-way
- Honk their horn several times to alert individuals working in the area of their presence
Correct Answer

A. Slow down and yield the right-of-way

Explanation

When approaching a construction area, drivers should slow down and yield the right-of-way. This is because construction areas often have reduced speed limits and may have workers or equipment present, making it important for drivers to proceed with caution. Increasing speed to get out of the way quickly can be dangerous and may not allow enough time to react to any unexpected hazards. Honking the horn several times is also not necessary unless there is a specific need to alert individuals working in the area.

Rate this question:
14.

Drivers must yield to pedestrians in an unmarked crosswalk.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Drivers must yield to pedestrians in an unmarked crosswalk because pedestrians have the right of way in these situations. An unmarked crosswalk is any intersection where there are no painted lines or signs indicating a crosswalk. Even though there may not be any visible markings, drivers are still required to stop and allow pedestrians to cross safely. This is to ensure the safety of pedestrians and prevent accidents. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

Rate this question:
15.

It is permissible for anyone to wear a headset while driving.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

It is not permissible for anyone to wear a headset while driving. Wearing a headset can be distracting and can impair the driver's ability to hear important sounds such as sirens or horns. It is important for drivers to be fully focused and aware of their surroundings while operating a vehicle, and wearing a headset can hinder this. Additionally, in many jurisdictions, it is illegal to wear headphones or any other type of audio device that covers both ears while driving.

Rate this question:
16.

Speed should be reduced below the posted speed limit for which of the following reasons?
- Driver is driving in unfavorable weather conditions
- Driver is approaching and crossing an intersection
- Both of the above
Correct Answer

A. Both of the above

Explanation

The speed should be reduced below the posted speed limit for both of the given reasons. When driving in unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, reducing speed is necessary to maintain control of the vehicle and prevent accidents. Similarly, when approaching and crossing an intersection, it is important to reduce speed to ensure that the driver has enough time to react to any potential hazards or unexpected situations that may arise. By reducing speed in these situations, the driver can increase safety and minimize the risk of accidents.

Rate this question:
17.

Slow vehicles should use the left-hand lane except when passing or making a left turn?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Slow vehicles should use the right-hand lane except when passing or making a left turn. This is because slower vehicles should stay in the right lane to allow faster vehicles to pass safely on the left. The left lane is typically reserved for passing or for making a left turn. Therefore, the statement that slow vehicles should use the left-hand lane except when passing or making a left turn is false.

When must a driver slow down for a school zone?
- School days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. when children are present and signs are posted
- Weekends
- Only during recess
Correct Answer

A. School days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. when children are present and signs are posted

Explanation

Drivers must slow down for a school zone during school days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. when children are present and signs are posted. This is because during these times, there is a higher likelihood of children being present around the school area, and the signs are posted to alert drivers to the reduced speed limit. Slowing down in school zones helps ensure the safety of the children and reduces the risk of accidents.

Unless authorized to do so, drivers may not break into the line of a funeral procession.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Drivers are not allowed to break into the line of a funeral procession unless they have been given permission to do so. This is because a funeral procession is a solemn event that requires respect and consideration from other drivers on the road. Breaking into the line can disrupt the procession and show a lack of respect for the grieving family and their loved ones. Therefore, the statement "Unless authorized to do so, drivers may not break into the line of a funeral procession" is true.

Alcohol is the single greatest factor in fatal motor vehicle accidents.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time, making it a significant contributing factor to fatal motor vehicle accidents. Research consistently shows that alcohol involvement increases the risk of crashes and the severity of injuries. Intoxicated drivers are more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as speeding or not wearing seat belts. Additionally, alcohol impairs cognitive functions necessary for safe driving, leading to poor decision-making on the road. Therefore, it can be concluded that alcohol is indeed the single greatest factor in fatal motor vehicle accidents.

What is the only effective way to remove alcohol from the body?
- Strong coffee
- Time
- Cold shower
Correct Answer

A. Time

Explanation

Time is the only effective way to remove alcohol from the body. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at a rate of about one standard drink per hour. No amount of coffee or cold showers can speed up this process. The body needs time to break down and eliminate alcohol from the system. Drinking water or engaging in physical activity may help to alleviate some of the symptoms of alcohol intoxication, but they do not remove alcohol from the body any faster.

Rate this question:

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Drivers whose licenses have been revoked as a result of DUI must meet several requirements, including undergoing an evaluation for alcohol and drug problems and paying a reinstatement fee, to regain their licenses. This statement is true because when someone's driver's license is revoked due to driving under the influence (DUI), they need to go through a process to regain their driving privileges. This process typically involves undergoing an evaluation to determine if there are any alcohol or drug problems that need to be addressed. Additionally, they are usually required to pay a reinstatement fee before their license can be restored.

It is illegal for persons under 21 to drive with any trace of alcohol or drugs in their system.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

This statement is true because it is indeed illegal for individuals under the age of 21 to drive with any amount of alcohol or drugs in their system. This is due to the fact that underage individuals are not legally allowed to consume alcohol or use drugs, and driving under the influence poses a significant risk to both the driver and others on the road. Laws regarding drinking and driving vary by country and state, but in most places, there is a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving.

An individual’s driving privileges may be suspended under which of the following conditions?
- Three reckless driving offenses in 12 months
- Drag racing
- Illegally transporting alcohol twice in 12 months
Correct Answer

A. Illegally transporting alcohol twice in 12 months

Explanation

An individual's driving privileges may be suspended if they are caught illegally transporting alcohol twice within a 12-month period. This action is considered a violation of traffic laws and can result in the suspension of their driving privileges as a consequence. Reckless driving offenses and drag racing are also serious violations but are not specifically mentioned as conditions for suspension in this question.

Driving privileges may be revoked for giving false information to the Secretary of State.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Driving privileges may be revoked for giving false information to the Secretary of State because providing false information is considered a violation of the law and can be seen as an attempt to deceive or manipulate the system. The Secretary of State is responsible for ensuring the safety and integrity of driving privileges, and giving false information undermines this responsibility.

When approaching a stop sign, drivers should stop their vehicles as close to the sign as possible.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

When approaching a stop sign, drivers should stop their vehicles before the stop line or crosswalk, not necessarily as close to the sign as possible. This is to ensure that they have a clear view of any oncoming traffic and can safely proceed after stopping. Stopping too close to the sign may obstruct the view of other drivers and increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, the statement that drivers should stop their vehicles as close to the sign as possible is false.

What should the driver of a vehicle do when approaching a traffic control signal that is not in operation?
- Come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection
- If the intersection is clear, the driver does not need to stop
- Drive quickly through the intersection to get out of the way of other vehicles
Correct Answer

A. Come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection

Explanation

When approaching a traffic control signal that is not in operation, the driver should come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection. This is because without a functioning traffic signal, the driver cannot rely on the signal to determine when it is safe to proceed. By coming to a full stop and yielding, the driver ensures that they do not enter the intersection when it may be unsafe to do so, allowing other vehicles to pass through the intersection safely.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

When a traffic light shows both a red light and a green arrow, it means that drivers are allowed to turn in the direction of the arrow even if the red light is still on. Therefore, the statement "a driver may not turn in the direction of the arrow until the red light has changed" is incorrect.

The road surface of a bridge may be dangerous in winter because it may remain icy after the rest of the roadway is clear.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

During winter, the road surface of a bridge may remain icy even after the rest of the roadway is clear due to several factors. Bridges are elevated structures, which means that cold air can circulate both above and below the road surface, causing the bridge to freeze more quickly and stay colder for longer periods. Additionally, bridges are exposed to wind from all sides, which can further lower the temperature and make it harder for the ice to melt. This combination of factors makes the road surface of a bridge more prone to remaining icy, even when the rest of the roadway is clear.
