"Driving faster than the posted speed limit is legal." - False. Driving faster than the posted speed limit is ILLEGAL. The posted speed limit is the maximum speed permitted on that particular road. However, the speed limit on two-lane highways with a posted speed limit of 55 mph or higher is increased by 10 mph when the driver is lawfully passing another vehicle in the same direction.Rate this question:

Chapter 3: Traffic Laws & Vehicle Operation A U-Turn is a 180-degree turn, resembling the letter U, that reverses your direction of travel. U-Turns are illegal near the tops of hills & on curves where other drivers cannot see you from ____ feet away.
- A.
400 feet away
- B.
500 feet away
- C.
700 feet away
- D.
1,000 feet away
Correct Answer
D. 1,000 feet awayExplanation
When making a U-turn, it is important to ensure that other drivers have enough time to react and avoid a collision. Making a U-turn near the tops of hills and on curves can be dangerous because other drivers may not be able to see you until it is too late. Therefore, it is illegal to make a U-turn in these areas where other drivers cannot see you from 1,000 feet away. This distance allows for sufficient visibility and gives other drivers enough time to adjust their speed or change lanes if necessary.Rate this question:

Chapter 3: Traffic Laws & Vehicle Operation (Check all that apply) Do not pass:
- A.
On a curve or hill where you cannot clearly see the road ahead for at least 700 feet.
- B.
Within 400 feet of an intersection, underpass, tunnel, or railroad crossing
- C.
Within 100 feet of an intersection, underpass, tunnel, or railroad crossing
- D.
When you are about to meet a vehicle coming toward you from the opposite direction.
Correct Answer(s)
A. On a curve or hill where you cannot clearly see the road ahead for at least 700 feet.
C. Within 100 feet of an intersection, underpass, tunnel, or railroad crossing
D. When you are about to meet a vehicle coming toward you from the opposite direction.Explanation
The correct answers are within 100 feet of an intersection, underpass, tunnel, or railroad crossing and when you are about to meet a vehicle coming toward you from the opposite direction. These are both situations where passing would be unsafe and against traffic laws. Passing within 100 feet of an intersection, underpass, tunnel, or railroad crossing can obstruct the view of other drivers and increase the risk of accidents. Passing when you are about to meet a vehicle coming toward you from the opposite direction can also be dangerous as it increases the chances of a head-on collision.Rate this question:
