Number of Question 37

Passing Score 32

1. You are driving on a highway divided by two solid yellow lines. You may:

Cross these lines only to make a left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway.

Cross these lines to pass other vehicles, but only if there is no oncoming traffic.

Cross these lines under no circumstances.

Cross these lines only to make a U-turn.

Double solid yellow lines are used to mark roadways where passing is prohibited from both directions. You may cross these lines only to make a left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway.

2. You experience an incident at work that has left you feeling angry. When you get to your car, you should:

Play the radio loudly so you won’t think about it.

Drive fast on the interstate to let off steam.

Take a few minutes to cool off before you begin your drive home.

Stop at your favorite bar and have a few drinks before driving home.

Persons who are upset, angry, or otherwise distracted by their emotions should take time to cool off before driving a car. Taking out frustrations or anger while driving is exercising very poor judgment and is very dangerous to both the driver and others on the road.

3. When encountering an aggressive driver, you should:

Avoid eye contact, slow down, and let them pass.

Cut them off to slow them down.

Retaliate by tailgating them.

Make sure they know you disapprove of their behavior.

If another driver is threatening you or intentionally driving dangerously around you, remain calm and try to put as much distance between the two of you as possible. Slow down and let them pass. Do not make eye contact and do not make obscene gestures.

4. If an aggressive driver cuts you off, you should:

Call the police immediately.

Stay calm and move out of the aggressive driver's way.

Flash your vehicle's lights to let the aggressive driver know he is wrong.

Use a driving action of your own to get back at the aggressive driver.

If an aggressive driver cuts you off on the roadway, stay calm and get out of their way. Trying to get even with an aggressive driver risks escalating the situation and increasing the danger.

5. A red and white triangular sign at an intersection means:

Slow down if an emergency vehicle is approaching.

Look both ways as you cross the intersection.

Always come to a full stop at the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary.

A triangular red and white yield sign means that you must decrease speed as you approach an intersection and yield the right-of-way to any vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection. You must be prepared to stop if conditions require it.

6. To pass a slower-moving vehicle on a two-lane, two-way road, you must:

Not cross the centerline.

Flash your lights at oncoming traffic.

Use the shoulder.

Use the lane that belongs to oncoming traffic.

Passing on a two-lane, two-way road requires good judgment because you must use the lane belonging to oncoming traffic to complete your pass. Only pass if you may safely and legally do so.

Don't drink if you are going to drive.

Slippery when wet.

Road curves ahead.

You are approaching a hill.

This sign warns that the road is slippery when wet.

Divided highway begins.

A steep grade is ahead.

The overpass ahead has a low clearance.

Two lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions are about to merge.

This sign warns that the overpass ahead has a low clearance. Do not proceed if your vehicle is taller than the height indicated (in this case, 13 feet, 6 inches).

9. You may drive across a dashed white line:

At any time.

Only during daylight hours.

When it is safe to change lanes.

Only when passing a motorcycle.

Traffic lanes moving in the same direction are separated by broken white lines. You may cross over dashed lines to pass, if it is safe to do so.
