9. A motorist making a left turn at an intersection must yield the right-of-way to a bicyclist entering the intersection from the opposite direction.

True

False

When turning left at an intersection, you must yield to oncoming bicycles in the same manner that you would yield to oncoming motor vehicles. Keep your wheels straight while waiting to turn and proceed when the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians.

10. Which of the following describes the thinking of defensive drivers?

They know other drivers will do the right thing.

They consider what other drivers might do and are prepared to react.

They expect no breaks and give none.

Driving defensively means anticipating potential errors made by others and preparing to compensate for their mistakes.

11. If oncoming headlights are blinding you while you are driving at night, you should:

Look toward the right edge of the road.

Switch your lights to high beams.

Turn your lights on and off.

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle are blinding, glance toward the right edge of the road instead of looking directly ahead. This should keep your vehicle safely on the road until you pass the oncoming vehicle.

12. If you find yourself in a skid:

Brake lightly.

Stay off the brakes.

Brake abruptly.

If your vehicle begins to skid, do not use the brakes. Braking could make the skid worse.

13. Always signal when:

Changing lanes.

Pulling into or out of a parking space.

Pulling into traffic from a parking area or alley.

All of the above.

Your turn signals should always be used when you make any movement to the left or right. You should use your signal when pulling into traffic from a curbside parking space, moving into a new lane, or passing another vehicle.

14. Which is the correct sequence of events as a school bus driver prepares to stop to load or unload children?

Amber lights flash at the top of the bus, the bus stops as red lights flash, a stop arm goes out, and the door opens for the school children.

The bus driver activates red flashing lights at the top of the bus, then activates amber flashing lights when the children are unloaded or seated.

A stop arm goes out, amber lights begin flashing, and the school bus stops to load or unload children.

When you meet an oncoming school bus displaying flashing amber lights, you must slow to a speed no faster than 20 mph and be prepared to stop. If its red lights are flashing or if its stop arm is out, you must come to a complete stop at least 15 feet from the bus. Remain stopped as long as the red lights flash or the stop arm is out.

15. When driving in rain, you must:

Use low beam headlights.

Use high beam headlights.

Use parking lights.

Use no lights.

In rainy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights.

16. You are driving at night and another vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction. Your headlights:

Should be on their high beam setting.

Should be on their low beam setting.

Should be off. Use your parking lights.

May be on either their high or low beam setting.

Do not use your high beam headlights when approaching or following another vehicle at night. Switch to the low beam setting to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
