Passing Score 20

17. Double solid yellow line markings down the center of a road indicate that passing is:

Allowed from both directions.

Allowed only from your direction of travel.

Not allowed from either direction.

A double yellow centerline means that it is prohibited for traffic from either direction to cross the centerline to pass.

18. To help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces, you should:

Shift to a lower gear after starting down a steep hill.

Speed up to enter curves and slow down to exit them.

Slow down before entering curves and intersections.

Slow down before you enter a curve because you do not know what may be ahead. Braking on a curve may cause you to skid.

19. A red arrow pointing to the right on a traffic light means you may:

Turn in that direction after slowing and checking for traffic.

Not turn in that direction until the light turns green.

Turn in that direction after you come to a complete stop.

A red arrow means "stop." You must remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears. Do not turn against a red arrow.

20. Where is it safe to pass another vehicle?

Within an intersection where there are no oncoming vehicles

Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing

Within a curve where there are no oncoming vehicles

Never pass within intersections or at other intersecting points, such as parking lot entrances and alleyways. Any time your view is blocked by a curve or a hill, you should stay in your lane and assume that there is an oncoming vehicle just out of sight. Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing other vehicles, you will have to determine whether or not you have enough space to pass in a safe manner.

21. 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.

22. Double solid yellow lane markings mean that:

Neither lane may pass.

Both lanes may pass.

The lane to the right may pass.

Yellow lane markings indicate a separation of lanes where traffic is traveling in opposite directions. When you see double solid yellow lane markings, passing is prohibited from both directions.

23. What should a driver do when approaching a traffic control signal that is not in operation?

Come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

If the intersection is clear, the driver does not need to stop.

Drive quickly through the intersection to get out of the way of other vehicles.

When traffic control signals are not working, a driver must always treat the intersection as an all-way stop and come to a complete stop, unless otherwise directed by law enforcement. The driver must then look and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

School crossing.

Pedestrian crossing.

Jogging trail.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign indicates the presence of a crosswalk, regardless of if it is marked on the pavement or not. Upon seeing this sign, you should be alert and allow any pedestrians to cross the road safely.

25. Collisions are more likely to happen when:

All vehicles are traveling at about the same speed.

One lane of traffic is traveling faster than the other lanes.

One vehicle is traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic.

Collisions are more likely to happen when one driver moves faster or slower than the other vehicles on the road. Driving faster than other traffic increases your chance of being involved in a collision. Driving more slowly than other traffic is also dangerous because it can increase the risk of a rear-end collision with your vehicle or cause other drivers to swerve to avoid hitting you.
