Disregard any obvious defects to avoid embarrassing your friend.

Take a few minutes before driving to familiarize yourself with the operation and location of all the vehicle’s equipment.

When driving an unfamiliar vehicle, take a few minutes before driving to familiarize yourself with the location and operation of the turn signals, hazard warning signals, headlights and beam selector, windshield wipers and washers, brakes, gear selector, and horn. Any defects should be corrected before the vehicle is driven.

2. You are driving in the left lane and want to move into the right lane. You should:

Check your mirrors, signal, and look over your left shoulder for other vehicles before changing lanes.

Check your mirrors, signal, and look over your right shoulder for other vehicles before changing lanes.

Should merge into a lane in the direction of the arrow.

Should come to a complete stop.

May turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Have the right-of-way and may expect oncoming traffic to stop for them.

A flashing yellow arrow indicates that left turns are allowed in the direction of the arrow. However, the oncoming traffic has a green light and you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

4. You are coming to an intersection and have a green light. Pedestrians are crossing against the red. You should:

Honk your horn.

Speed up and pass in front of the pedestrians.

Stop to let the pedestrians cross safely.

Drive close to the pedestrians and frighten them so they’ll think twice before crossing against a red light.

Yield to pedestrians and cars that may be caught in an intersection when you have a green light. Be careful around pedestrians under every circumstance.

5. It is legal to make a left turn at a red traffic light after stopping only if:

You are traveling on a two-way street and turning onto a two-way street.

You are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street.

You yield to all other traffic at the intersection.

After coming to a complete stop, you may turn left at a red light only if you are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street. Only make the turn if there are no posted signs prohibiting such a turn.

6. You want to turn left at an intersection. The light is green but oncoming traffic is heavy. You should:

Use the next intersection.

Wait at the crosswalk for traffic to clear.

Wait in the center of the intersection for traffic to clear.

Take the right-of-way since you have a green light.

When making a left turn where there is approaching traffic, you must wait for the approaching traffic to go through before you turn. You may enter the intersection to prepare for your left turn if the light is green and no other vehicle ahead of you plans to make a left turn.

Are traveling in the wrong direction.

Must treat the intersection as if it is controlled by a stop sign.

May not proceed until it changes to green.

Treat a flashing red light the same as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop at the stop line or, if there is no stop line, prior to the crosswalk and before entering the intersection. Yield to all other traffic and pedestrians.

8. Lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are divided by ____ lines.

Yellow

White

Red

Solid white lines are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction (as well as to mark the right edge of the road). Broken white lines separate lanes traveling in the same direction and may be crossed to pass. Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.
