FREE Maine Permit Test 20 - Real 2025 DMV Test Questions

25. What does this road sign mean?

Slow down and prepare to stop if cars are approaching you.

Come to a full stop then proceed when it is safe to do so.

Proceed carefully through the intersection, not always stopping.

An octagonal sign always means stop. When approaching a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop at the marked stop line and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If there is no stop line, stop before the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, stop before the intersection at a point from which you can see any oncoming traffic.

26. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Slow down and wait until there is no traffic approaching, then pass the bicyclist while leaving him or her sufficient space.

Continue driving straight. It is the bicyclist’s responsibility to get out of your way.

Do not pass the bicyclist until you come to a traffic signal or stop sign.

Honk at the bicyclist to let him or her know you are about to pass.

You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

27. 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.

28. Excessive speed:

Does not increase the chance of a crash.

Increases your ability to react to a hazard.

Often leads to high-risk decision-making.

Excessive speed is one of the most common contributing factors to vehicle crashes. Excessive speed does not save time and often leads to high-risk decision-making.

29. To check your blind spot before changing lanes:

Look into the left side mirror.

Look into the right side mirror.

Look into the rearview mirror.

Look over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move.

To check your blind spot before changing lanes, you should look over your shoulder in the direction that you plan to move.

30. Where is it safe to pass another vehicle?

Within an intersection where there are no oncoming vehicles

Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing

Within a curve where there are no oncoming vehicles

Never pass within intersections or at other intersecting points, such as parking lot entrances and alleyways. Any time your view is blocked by a curve or a hill, you should stay in your lane and assume that there is an oncoming vehicle just out of sight. Wherever signs and/or pavement markings permit passing other vehicles, you will have to determine whether or not you have enough space to pass in a safe manner.

31. When you drive through an area where children are playing, you should expect them:

To know when it is safe to cross the street.

To stop at the curb before crossing the street.

To run out in front of you without looking.

Not to cross the street unless they are with an adult.

You should always reduce your speed and use extra caution when children are in the vicinity. They may fail to understand the danger and may run out in front of you without looking.

32. When passing other vehicles:

Check your mirrors and blind spots.

Honk your horn at least three times.

Re-enter your lane within 10 feet of the passed vehicle.

There is no need to signal.

Before passing another vehicle, check your mirrors and blind spots. Before changing lanes, activate the appropriate turn signal. Re-enter the lane when you can see the front of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.
