Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Rules Of The Road
Which of the following indicates the minimum amount of time needed to create a safe buffer of distance between vehicles?
None of these
It is recommended that drivers create a distance of four seconds between vehicles. This enables the driver to have ample time to respond to emergencies. A shorter distance creates danger for both cars following one another because at this distance the driver behind the leading vehicle may not have time to react to sudden movements. In order to create this distance, the driver of the trailing car should mark a distinct, stationary spot on the road and count for seconds until they pass it. In doing so, they will create a proper buffer of distance between vehicles.
Example Question #2 : Rules Of The Road
Which of the following actions constitutes a lane change?
Entering the roadway from the curb or shoulder
Entering a highway from an entrance lane
Changing from one lane to another on a roadway
None of these
All of these
All of these
All of the choices indicate a lane change. Before one changes lanes they should perform the following: give the proper turn signal, check their mirrors, and physically check blindspots by quickly looking over his or her shoulders. Lane changes at speeds should be done deliberately and cautiously to avoid collisions from hesitation or quick braking.
Example Question #1 : Traffic Signal Lights
Which of the following best describes how a driver should treat a flashing red light?
The driver should stop and await directions from emergency services
None of these
The driver should treat the light at the intersection like a stop sign
The driver should stop and follow a detour
The driver should slow and proceed with caution
The driver should treat the light at the intersection like a stop sign
A driver should treat a flashing red light as a stop sign. Flashing red lights indicate that the driver should come to a complete stop, check for oncoming traffic, and proceed through the intersection when it is clear. A flashing red light does not imply that the driver proceed with caution. A flashing yellow light indicates that a driver should slow down, look, and proceed with care.
Example Question #1 : Traffic Signal Lights
What is the proper procedure for crossing a four-way intersection with a non-functioning traffic signal?
Stop at the intersection and await directions from emergency services
Slow, look both ways, and proceed if the intersection is clear
Stop and find an alternate route
Stop, look both ways, and proceed if the intersection is clear
None of these
Stop, look both ways, and proceed if the intersection is clear
When a driver encounters a downed or non-functioning signal, they should treat it as a stop sign. In this case the intersection should be treated as a four-way stop. The driver should slowly approach the intersection, stop, look both ways, and proceed through the intersection when it is clear.
Example Question #2 : Traffic Signal Lights
Which of the following best describes how a driver should proceed when a green arrow turns into a green light?
The driver should change lanes and proceed without turning
The driver should stop until he or she sees another green arrow
The driver should turn as normal
The driver should turn on his or her hazard lights
The driver should yield to oncoming traffic and may turn if the way is clear
The driver should yield to oncoming traffic and may turn if the way is clear
When a driver approaches a green arrow that changes to a green light they should yield to oncoming traffic and only turn if traffic is clear. They may not just simply turn because when the light changes opposing traffic are given the right to proceed through the intersection. If the driver were to turn at this time, then they would either cut of or collide with oncoming traffic.
Example Question #3 : Rules Of The Road
According to the interstate numbering system, one or two digit odd numbered interstates are generally described as which of the following?
South-west routes
North-west routes
North-south routes
North-east routes
East-west routes
North-south routes
Generally speaking, the interstate number system permits drivers to make assumptions about the roads they travel. In accordance with this logic, one or two digit even numbered interstates generally travel east-west routes. On the other hand, one or two digit odd numbered interstates generally travel north-south routes.
Example Question #4 : Rules Of The Road
According to the interstate numbering system, one or two digit even numbered interstates are generally described as which of the following?
North-east routes
East-west routes
South-west routes
North-south routes
North-west routes
East-west routes
Generally speaking, the interstate number system permits drivers to make assumptions about the roads they travel. In accordance with this logic, one or two digit even numbered interstates generally travel east-west routes. On the other hand, one or two digit odd numbered interstates generally travel north-south routes.
Example Question #1 : Pavement Markings
A driver may pass another car when there is a __________ line dividing two lanes.
All of these
solid white
double yellow
broken white
solid yellow
broken white
A driver is only permitted to pass another car on a two lane highway when a broken white line is present. As a general rule, solid lines indicate that cars cannot pass one another. On the other hand, broken lines indicate that vehicles may pass one another. Engineers may decide that curvy roads or those with poor visibility may be too dangerous to allow vehicles to pass.
Example Question #2 : Pavement Markings
When are vehicles allowed to cross solid double yellow lines?
To pass another car
All of these
At any time in the daylight
To make a turn
Only at night
To make a turn
According to most traffic laws, double yellow lines may only be crossed in order to make a turn. Double yellow lines may not be crossed in order to pass cars. Likewise, the time of day does not change when or how the rules that these lines represent may be followed.
Example Question #3 : Pavement Markings
Lanes of traffic that separate vehicles moving in opposite directions are divided by lines of which of the following colors?
White
Blue
Yellow
Red
All of these
Yellow
Lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions are separated by yellow lines. On the other hand white lines indicate separation of lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction. Red and blue colors are used to indicate different road signage and do not typically separate traffic lanes.
