Passing Score 20

1. Changing from one lane to another is best done:

Quickly and often.

When a car is in your blind spot.

Gradually and carefully.

You should always change lanes gradually and carefully. Only change lanes when necessary. Every lane change increases the possibility of a traffic accident.

Merge right.

Divided highway begins.

Lane ends.

This sign indicates that the right lane ends ahead. A merging maneuver will be required for drivers in that lane.

3. When passing another vehicle, you should return to your original lane when:

You can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

You have cleared the front bumper of the passed vehicle.

You are 50 feet in front of the passed vehicle.

When passing another vehicle, move back into your original lane only when you can see the passed vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror. This ensures that you will have enough room to safely pull back in front of the other vehicle.

4. Hydroplaning occurs when tires ride on a thin film of water instead of on the surface of the road. To prevent hydroplaning in rainy weather, you should:

Put on your cruise control to maintain a constant speed.

Decrease your speed.

Move to the shoulder of the road as soon as it starts to rain.

In rainy weather, you should lower your speed to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Driving too fast may cause your tires to ride up on the water and lose contact with the surface of the road, making it very difficult to control your vehicle.

washington-curve left 35 mph or less recommended

There is a 35 mph speed zone after the curve ahead.

Drive no slower than 35 mph around the upcoming curve.

Approach the upcoming curve at a speed of 35 mph or slower.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. These signs may be accompanied by speed advisory plaques that indicate the speed with which you should proceed.

6. If you are 16 or 17 years old and are convicted of driving more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, your license will be suspended for:

30 days.

45 days.

60 days.

If a 16- or 17-year-old is ticketed for driving 20 mph above the speed limit and it is their first offense, their license will be suspended for 60 days and they will be required to pay a license restoration fee and court fines. Consequences are increasingly severe for repeated offenses.

7. If a child is riding a bicycle near your vehicle:

Beep your horn.

Expect the child to be in total control of the bicycle.

Expect the unexpected.

Children on bicycles are sometimes unpredictable. Young bicyclists are especially likely to make surprising changes in direction. Remember that children and bicycles are both small in stature and may become difficult to see.

8. Regarding the steering wheel as a clock face, a driver's left and right hands should be positioned at:

9 and 3 o'clock.

11 and 4 o'clock.

9 and 12 o'clock.

Hands should be comfortably placed on opposite sides of the steering wheel (left hand between 8 and 10 o’clock and right hand between 2 and 4 o’clock). On high-speed roads, this positioning allows drivers to make turns without taking their hands off the wheel.
