1. A pentagon-shaped sign is a:

Stop sign.

Regulatory sign.

School zone or school crossing sign.

A five-sided sign is used to alert drivers to a school zone. Some pentagonal signs specifically indicate crosswalks within school zones where children or other pedestrians may be present.

Pedestrian crossing.

School crossing.

Jogging trail.

Warning signs provide notice to road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign tells drivers to be alert to crossing pedestrians.

3. You are driving behind a motorcycle and want to pass. You must:

Stay in the right lane as much as possible because the motorcycle is small and doesn't use all of the lane.

Blow your horn to make the motorcycle move onto the shoulder so that you can pass.

Have your vehicle entirely in the left lane before and during the pass.

When passing a motorcycle, allow a full lane to the motorcycle. Never crowd into the same lane as the motorcycle. Returning to the original lane too soon can force a rider to swerve to the right and into traffic or off the road.

Side road.

Merge.

Yield the right-of-way.

This sign indicates that there is an intersection with a side road ahead.

5. If you are being passed in a no passing zone, you should:

Pull off the road.

Maintain your speed and position.

Slow down and let the other driver safely return to the drive lane.

Passing areas are based on how far ahead drivers can see. Allow the passing vehicle to re-enter the drive lane as easily as possible to help everyone avoid potential upcoming hazards.

6. You have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off the edge of the pavement. What should you do first?

Turn the front wheels slightly to the left to edge the car back onto the pavement.

Hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes.

Apply the brakes and turn the front wheels sharply to the left.

If your vehicle leaves the roadway, hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes. Wait until your speed has reduced, check the traffic, and look for a place to safely return to the roadway by merging back into traffic. Overcompensating by jerking the wheel to return to the roadway can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or may cause your car to go into other lanes of traffic.

7. When approaching an intersection controlled by a flashing yellow light, you must:

Come to a complete stop at the intersection.

Maintain your normal speed.

Slow down and proceed with caution.

A traffic signal displaying a flashing yellow light indicates that you should be alert and proceed with caution. Slow down when approaching a flashing yellow traffic signal.

8. A broken yellow centerline means that:

Passing is not permitted.

Passing on the right is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

Passing on the left is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

A broken yellow centerline means that a driver may cross the centerline to pass another vehicle on the left as long as there is no oncoming traffic. Drivers should never cross a solid yellow centerline in order to pass.
