1. When entering a street from a driveway, you:

Must drive slowly to allow approaching vehicles and pedestrians time to get out of your way.

Must honk your horn so approaching vehicles and pedestrians know to give you room.

Must stop and proceed only when there are no pedestrians or vehicles approaching.

Can disregard any pedestrians if there is no sidewalk.

Always stop before entering the roadway from a driveway and yield to any approaching vehicles or crossing pedestrians. The stop should be made before crossing the sidewalk area. Failure to stop is unlawful.

2. A red flashing traffic light has the same meaning as a:

Solid red light.

Stop sign.

Yield sign.

Caution sign.

A red flashing traffic signal has the same meaning as a stop sign. When approaching a red flashing signal, come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so. A stop sign may sometimes also be posted where this signal is located.

3. If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you, you should look toward ____ of the road.

Either side

The center

The right side

The left side

If a vehicle approaching you is using its high beams and fails to dim them, you should glance toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and will allow you to see well enough to stay on your course until the vehicle passes.

4. At an intersection with a traffic light displaying a green arrow, you should:

Wait to proceed until the light turns green.

Stop, then turn in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Turn in the direction indicated by the arrow when the intersection is clear.

Accelerate and quickly turn.

If you are in the proper lane, you must make the movement indicated by an arrow displayed on a traffic signal. A movement indicated by an arrow has the right-of-way and should not conflict with pedestrians or other vehicles. However, still be alert to other drivers and pedestrians who are wrongfully within the intersection.

5. If you drive past your desired destination while in heavy traffic on a city street, you should:

Stop where you are.

Back up to where you should have stopped.

Signal and make a U-turn.

Drive around the block.

If you realize you've passed your destination while driving in heavy traffic on a city street, you should circle around the block. Never make a U-turn where it may disrupt traffic.

6. When approaching a school bus that is displaying flashing red lights, a driver should:

Sound their horn and pass slowly.

Stop, make sure it is safe to pass the bus, then proceed.

Slow down and proceed with caution.

Stop and remain stopped until the flashing lights extinguish.

Drivers must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Drivers should never try to pass a school bus that is loading or unloading children.
