9. When parallel parking between two cars, you should first:

Turn your wheels to the left.

Turn your wheels to the right.

Pull up even with the car in front of your desired parking space.

Back slowly.

After finding a parking space, checking traffic, and signaling, you should stop parallel to the vehicle directly ahead of your desired parking space before turning your wheel to park.

Trucks are permitted on an upcoming narrow bridge.

The bridge ahead is open to one-way traffic only.

The bridge ahead is wide enough for only one car at a time.

The bridge ahead may be too narrow to meet or pass a truck.

Warning signs are used to warn drivers about upcoming hazardous conditions and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers that an upcoming bridge may be too narrow to meet or pass a truck and that they should be careful.

Steep grade ahead.

Pedestrian crossing ahead.

Low ground railroad crossing.

Low clearance.

This sign indicates that the overpass ahead has a low clearance. You should not proceed if your vehicle is taller than the height shown on the sign (in this case, 13 feet 6 inches).

Yield the right-of-way.

No passing zone.

Reduction in lanes.

A triangular red and white sign indicates that you must yield the right-of-way.

13. Your blind spot is the area of the road:

You cannot see without moving your head.

Directly behind your vehicle.

You see in your rearview mirror.

You see in your side mirror.

Blind spots are areas that a driver cannot see without moving their head. They can be located to the sides of and behind a vehicle.

14. A good rule to remember for passing is:

Pass on the right whenever possible.

Drive with the flow of traffic and pass only as needed.

Try to get to the front of any slow-moving traffic so that you can see better.

Always flash your lights and sound your horn to alert other drivers to your intentions.

Each time you pass another vehicle, there is an increased chance for a collision. If you are moving faster than surrounding traffic, you will have to continue passing others. Drive with the flow of traffic, within the legal speed limit, and pass only as needed.

15. 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.

16. If you see orange construction signs and cones on a freeway, you must:

Slow down because the lane ends ahead.

Be prepared for workers and equipment ahead.

Change lanes and maintain your current speed.

As you enter a work zone, signs and message boards will warn you of workers, slow-moving equipment, and/or closed lanes ahead. You should reduce your speed and be prepared to slow down or stop.
