Explanation
A driver who enters a traffic circle or rotary must yield the right-of-way to drivers already in the circle. Vehicles entering a roadway from a driveway must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and to vehicles already in the road. When leaving a parking space, you must yield to oncoming traffic.
9. What should you do if your vehicle’s right wheels leave the pavement?
Explanation
If your vehicle’s right wheels leave the pavement, don't panic. Take your foot off the accelerator and steer parallel to the road. Slow down and ease back onto the roadway by keeping both hands on the steering wheel and steering into the road’s right lane with a small turn of the steering wheel. Check for traffic around you before steering back onto the pavement.
10. Which of the following influence(s) the effects of alcohol?
Explanation
Your blood alcohol content (BAC) depends on how much alcohol you drink, how much time passes between drinks, and your weight. Eating before or while you drink helps slow the absorption of alcohol somewhat, but it cannot prevent intoxication or impairment if you have too much to drink.
11. A steady green traffic light at an intersection means:
Explanation
A steady green traffic light indicates that the driver may continue through the intersection. The driver should yield to traffic or pedestrians already in the intersection and proceed when the intersection is clear.
12. When driving at night, you should:
Explanation
Increase your following distance when it is difficult to see due to darkness. Use headlights to increase visibility, following the rules for proper use of high beams and low beams. Avoid looking directly at the headlights of an oncoming vehicle to avoid being blinded by the glare.
13. On a multilane road, a dashed yellow line next to a solid yellow line means:
Explanation
Where there are both solid and dashed yellow lines between lanes of traffic, only traffic directly next to the dashed line may cross the centerline to pass. Drivers next to the solid line may not pass.
14. What happens if you refuse to take a chemical test?
Explanation
New York has an Implied Consent Law, which means that by driving in the state, you have given your consent to a chemical test if you are arrested for an alcohol- or drug-related violation. If you refuse to take the test, your license will be suspended. If a DMV hearing later confirms that you refused the test, your driver license will be revoked, even if you are found not guilty of the original charge.
