7. On a green arrow, you must:

Yield to any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian in the intersection.

Yield to pedestrians only in the intersection.

Wait four seconds before proceeding.

A green arrow means "go." You must turn in the direction the arrow is pointing after you yield to any vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians who are still in the intersection.

8. If you are driving on a highway next to a single broken white line marking:

You cannot cross the line to pass.

You may cross the line to pass and change lanes.

You may only cross the line to change lanes if you are in the left lane.

White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may cross a dashed white line to pass or change lanes if it is safe to do so.

9. "No zones" are areas around trucks where cars:

Disappear into blind spots or are so close that they restrict the truck driver's ability to stop and maneuver safely.

Have sufficient space to travel behind the truck.

Have several car lengths between their vehicle and the truck.

"No zones" are areas around trucks or buses in which cars disappear into the larger vehicle's blind spots. "No zones" can also be defined as areas in which cars are so close to the larger vehicle that they restrict the truck or bus driver’s ability to stop and maneuver safely. A car being in a "No zone" greatly increases the potential for a crash.

10. Which of these statements is true about driving and taking medications?

Most cold medications can make a person drowsy.

Over-the-counter medications cannot impair driving ability if taken in the recommended dosages.

Medications are safe to take at any time, if prescribed by a doctor.

Remember that all medications, prescription or over-the-counter, are potentially dangerous and could impair your driving. Over-the-counter medicines that you take for colds and allergies can make you drowsy and affect your driving ability. It is your responsibility to know how your medication affects your ability to drive.

11. You were parked and have been waiting a long time with your turn signal on to re-enter traffic. However, traffic is heavy. You should:

Continue waiting and yielding to traffic in the lane.

Slowly inch your vehicle into the traffic lane.

Drive on the shoulder until a gap in traffic appears.

If you have been parked on the side of a road, you must yield to existing traffic when re-entering the road.

12. You are driving behind a motorcycle and want to pass. You must:

Stay in the right lane as much as possible because the motorcycle is small and doesn't use all of the lane.

Blow your horn to make the motorcycle move onto the shoulder so that you can pass.

Have your vehicle entirely in the left lane before and during the pass.

When passing a motorcycle, allow a full lane to the motorcycle. Never crowd into the same lane as the motorcycle. Returning to the original lane too soon can force a rider to swerve to the right and into traffic or off the road.
