1. The proper way to make a right turn is to:

Signal, slow down, and get into the lane closest to the centerline before turning.

Signal, slow down, and get into the lane closest to the right curb before turning.

Approach the corner in the lane nearest the right curb, but move over toward the middle of the street before turning.

Before beginning a right turn, use the appropriate signal to give surrounding drivers adequate notice of your intentions. Slow down and approach the intersection from the right lane, staying as close as is practical to the right curb or edge of the roadway.

Trucks are permitted on an upcoming narrow bridge.

The bridge ahead is open to one-way traffic only.

The bridge ahead is wide enough for only one car at a time.

The bridge ahead may be too narrow to meet or pass a truck.

Warning signs are used to warn drivers about upcoming hazardous conditions and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers that an upcoming bridge may be too narrow to meet or pass a truck and that they should be careful.

3. In a parking space reserved for people with disabilities, a driver with no disabled person on board:

May park in an emergency.

May not park, but may stop in an emergency.

May not park or stop, but may stand in an emergency.

May not park, stop, or stand.

It is illegal to stop, stand, or park in a space reserved for disabled persons unless the vehicle has plates or a permit for such spaces and the person who is named on the plates or permit is in the vehicle.

4. What does a single dashed white line separating traffic mean?

Drivers may pass, even if it could be dangerous.

Lanes move in opposite directions.

Drivers may not pass.

Drivers may pass if it is safe to do so.

White lines separate lanes of traffic that are moving in the same direction. Dashed white lines may be crossed to pass or change lanes, if it is safe to do so.

5. When you are being tailgated:

Move over to the right, if there is an open lane to your right.

If there is not an open lane to your right, wait until the way is clear ahead and reduce your speed slowly to encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

Never slow down abruptly.

All of the above.

If you are being tailgated by another driver and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, wait until the road ahead is clear and then reduce your speed slowly. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you. Never slow down abruptly as this will only increase the risk of your vehicle being hit from behind.

6. At intersections, crosswalks, and railroad crossings, you should always:

Stop, listen, and proceed cautiously.

Look to the sides of your vehicle to see what is coming.

Slowly pass vehicles that seem to be stopped for no reason.

Any time you come to a place where people may cross or enter your path, or where one line of traffic meets another, you should look to the left and right sides of your vehicle to make sure no one is coming.
