- D.
When the traffic is moving on the right.
Correct Answer
C. The traffic is moving in the opposite directionExplanation
If the line on the left of you is yellow, it indicates that the traffic on that side is moving in the opposite direction. This is because yellow lines are typically used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions. Therefore, if there is a yellow line on the left side of the driver, it suggests that the traffic in the adjacent lane is moving towards the driver's vehicle.Rate this question:

A. "no passing zones"Explanation
Two-lane roads may have "no passing zones" marked with a solid yellow line. This means that drivers are not allowed to pass other vehicles in these areas. The solid yellow line indicates that it is unsafe to pass due to limited visibility or other factors. Therefore, drivers must wait until it is safe to pass and the solid yellow line changes to a broken line.Rate this question:

- B.
Keep accelerating
- C.
Yield to traffic in the circle and pedestrians in the crosswalks.
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Yield to traffic in the circle and pedestrians in the crosswalks.Explanation
When approaching a roundabout, it is important to yield to traffic already in the circle and also yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks. This means that you should wait for a safe gap in traffic before entering the roundabout and give priority to any pedestrians who are crossing the road. Stopping and proceeding only when safe is a good practice, but it is not specific to roundabouts. Keeping accelerating is not the correct approach as it can lead to accidents and disrupt the flow of traffic in the roundabout. Therefore, the correct answer is to yield to traffic in the circle and pedestrians in the crosswalks.Rate this question:

When parking up hill without a curb, _______
- A.
Keep wheels pointed straight ahead
- B.
Turn wheels to the right
- C.
Turn wheels to the left
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Turn wheels to the rightExplanation
When parking uphill without a curb, it is recommended to turn the wheels to the right. This is because if the vehicle were to roll downhill, it would roll away from the roadway instead of into traffic. Turning the wheels to the right creates a "backstop" against the curb or road edge, preventing the vehicle from rolling into the road.Rate this question:

when parallel parking, stop even with the vehicle ahead of the parking space about ________ to the left of that vehicle.
- A.
1 1/2 feet
- B.
2 1/2 feet
- C.
1 foot
- D.
2 feet
Correct Answer
A. 1 1/2 feetExplanation
When parallel parking, it is important to stop even with the vehicle ahead of the parking space about 1 1/2 feet to the left of that vehicle. This distance allows enough space for the driver to maneuver the vehicle into the parking space without hitting the vehicle in front or leaving too much space between the two vehicles. It ensures that the parked vehicle is properly aligned and does not obstruct traffic or other parked vehicles.Rate this question:

Check the left lane for traffic by _______.
- A.
Using your rear-view mirror inside your vehicle
- B.
Using your right side-view mirror
- C.
Using your left and inside rear-view mirrors and by looking over your left shoulder
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Using your left and inside rear-view mirrors and by looking over your left shoulderExplanation
To check the left lane for traffic, it is important to use multiple sources of information. The left and inside rear-view mirrors provide a view of the lane behind and to the left of the vehicle. However, these mirrors have blind spots that may not show all the traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to also look over the left shoulder to ensure there are no vehicles in the blind spot. By combining the use of mirrors and physically looking over the shoulder, the driver can effectively check the left lane for traffic.Rate this question:

- D.

A. Constantly moving your eyes and watching the traffic and highway signs around youExplanation
To avoid highway hypnosis, it is important to constantly move your eyes and pay attention to the traffic and highway signs around you. This helps to keep your mind engaged and prevents your attention from drifting. By actively observing your surroundings, you can stay alert and focused on the road, reducing the risk of falling into a trance-like state. The other options of drinking coffee or listening to the sounds around you may provide temporary stimulation but are not effective in preventing highway hypnosis.Rate this question:
