1.

When approaching a person who is crossing the street while using a white cane or guide dog, you should:

Stop until the person is well away from your path of travel.
Honk your horn as you proceed past them.
Carefully drive around them.

Explanation ▾

When approaching a pedestrian who is using a white cane or guide dog while crossing the street, you must stop until the person is well away from your path of travel. Always yield the right-of-way to blind pedestrians.

2.

You are approaching a railroad crossing with no warning devices and are unable to see 400 feet down the tracks in one direction. The speed limit is:

15 mph.
20 mph.
25 mph.

Explanation ▾

Within 100 feet of a railroad crossing where you cannot see 400 feet down the tracks in both directions, the speed limit is 15 mph. However, you may drive faster if the crossing is controlled by gates, a warning signal, or a flagger.

3.

When a car with bright headlights drives toward you at night, you should:

Stop until the other driver passes.
Look below their headlights.
Glance toward the right edge of your lane.

Explanation ▾

To avoid being blinded when driving at night, do not look directly at the headlights of oncoming cars. Instead, look toward the right edge of the road until the oncoming driver has passed.

4.

Construction zone signs are generally:

Square or rectangular with white and red coloring.
Round or octagonal with black and yellow coloring.
Diamond-shaped or rectangular with orange and black coloring.

Explanation ▾

All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background with black letters or symbols. These signs are found on the right side of the road, or on both the left and right sides if the roadway is a divided highway.

5.

You reach an intersection with stop signs on all four corners at the same time as the driver on your left. Who has the right-of-way?

The driver on your left has the right-of-way.
You have the right-of-way.
Whoever is signaling to make a turn has the right-of-way.

Explanation ▾

If two vehicles arrive at the same time to an intersection that has stop signs on all corners, the vehicle to the right has the right-of-way.

6.

"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.

Explanation ▾

"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.
