Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Kentucky

17. Children on bicycles should be given extra space by motor vehicle operators because:

They do not have the same physical reflexes as adults.

They are smaller and more difficult to see than adults.

Both of the above.

Children are often the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult pedestrians to see. Take extra care to look out for children, especially near schools, bus stops, playgrounds, parks, and ice cream trucks. Be aware of children riding bikes on the sidewalk, as they may come onto the road unexpectedly.

18. If you are being followed too closely on a two-lane road:

Reduce your speed slowly to encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Speed up to increase the distance between you and the other car.

Apply your brakes to slow down, then resume your original speed.

If you are being followed too closely by another driver, merge into a different lane. If there is no lane available for merging, wait until the road ahead is clear and slowly reduce your speed. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

19. When entering an interstate highway, you should:

Stop, check for cars, and enter when safe.

Check for cars and reduce your speed to 25 mph before entering the traffic lane.

Check for cars, increase your speed to match the flow of traffic, and merge when the way is clear.

Rather than stopping (as you would when entering other roads), you must use the merging or acceleration lane to speed up and smoothly merge with fast-moving traffic already on the interstate.

20. Motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds are not easy to see; therefore, you should:

Slow down when driving.

Make constant visual checks.

Share a lane with a motorcycle.

Motorcycles can be easily hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot or missed in a quick look due to their small size. Drivers of cars must always be alert and looking for motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters.

21. If you have an argument with another person and you are angry, you should:

Loudly play the radio while driving so you won’t think about your argument.

Take a few minutes to cool off before driving.

Drive on the interstate to let off steam.

Your emotions affect your ability to drive safely. If you are overly angry, excited, afraid, worried, or depressed, you should give yourself time to calm down before operating a vehicle. You need to be able to mentally focus on driving without thinking about the things that made you upset.

22. You should not use your horn:

When visibility ahead is limited.

If you might hit another vehicle.

Near blind pedestrians.

When driving near a blind pedestrian, using your horn may be dangerous. Yield to the pedestrian and proceed when it is safe to do so.

23. If your vehicle has a mechanical problem:

Signal and pull into the slow lane.

Stop in your lane and put on your hazard lights.

Put on your hazard lights and pull off the road.

If your vehicle breaks down on a highway, make sure other drivers can see it. Get your vehicle off the road and away from traffic if at all possible and turn on your emergency flashers to show that you are having trouble.

24. In Kentucky, when may hand signals be used by drivers of passenger vehicles in the place of mechanical turn signals?

If the vehicle is not equipped with mechanical turn signals.

If the driver prefers to use hand signals.

Never.

In Kentucky, your car must have working mechanical turn signals. Hand signals may not be used by those driving on Kentucky roadways. Farm, construction, and animal-drawn vehicles are exceptions to this rule and their drivers may need to use hand signals. Bicyclists may also use hand signals.
