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

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Louisiana

1. Stress can affect your driving by:

Lowing your ability to focus on driving.

Decreasing your chances of an accident.

Causing you to fall asleep at the wheel.

Making you more aware of others around you.

Emotions can have a great effect on your driving ability. You may not be able to drive well if you are overly worried, excited, afraid, angry, or sad. Stress can lessen your concentration on the task of driving. It is better to wait to drive than to risk driving while you are emotionally unstable.

2. To avoid being in a truck or bus driver’s blind spot, you should:

Never pass them.

Avoid driving alongside them and avoid tailgating.

Flash your lights at them.

Sound your horn.

Because a large vehicle, such as a truck or bus, has large blind spots to its sides and rear, avoid driving alongside such a vehicle and do not tailgate one.

3. When driving near heavy trucks, other drivers and highway users must make allowances for:

The increased stopping distance required by large vehicles.

The decreased stopping distance required by large vehicles.

The decreased noise of larger vehicles.

The increased speed of larger vehicles.

When driving near heavy trucks, other drivers and highway users must make allowances for the increased stopping distance required by the large vehicles. Drivers of smaller vehicles should remain in locations where they can be seen by the driver of the large vehicle and where their view of traffic is not blocked by the vehicle.

4. When you want to change lanes, you should:

Maintain a safe following distance.

Decrease your following distance.

Come to a complete stop before changing lanes.

Swerve in and out of traffic as quickly as possible.

When changing lanes, maintain a safe following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Check in your mirrors and blind spots to make sure there are no vehicles driving in your path or already entering the lane you want to enter.

5. If an officer is directing traffic at a working traffic light, drivers should:

Follow the directions indicated by the traffic light.

Follow the directions given by the officer.

Honk at the officer.

Check to see what the cars next to them are doing.

Traffic signals are placed at intersections to keep traffic moving and to help prevent crashes. Drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists must obey these signals, except in instances when an officer is directing traffic.

6. When stopped at an intersection, drivers should look:

Only to their left.

Only to their right.

To their left, to their right, and to their left again.

Straight ahead.

When stopped at an intersection, look to your left, to your right, and then to your left again before entering the intersection. Be alert to pedestrians, vehicles, and other potential hazards.

No left turn.

No U-turns.

No exit.

No right turn.

This sign indicates that right turns are prohibited.

Drive with caution and be ready to slow down.

Do not drive in this lane.

You must come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way.

Slow down, be prepared to stop, and, if necessary, yield the right-of-way.

This type of triangular sign means drivers must yield. You must slow down as you come to an intersection marked with this sign and be prepared to stop. Let any other vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians pass safely before you proceed.
