Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Pennsylvania

1. When you approach a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates, you should:

Cross the tracks immediately and as quickly as possible.

Always stop before crossing the tracks.

Prepare to yield to any train at the crossing.

Speed up to beat any oncoming train.

Always be prepared to yield to any oncoming trains before crossing railroad tracks, particularly if there are no lights or gates controlling the crossing. Never start to cross the tracks until there is room for your entire vehicle on the other side of the tracks. Due to the risk of a vehicle stalling, it is not wise to shift gears when crossing railroad tracks.

2. The law gives ____ the right-of-way at intersections.

No one

Drivers turning left

Drivers going straight

Drivers turning right

The law does not give anyone the right-of-way at intersections; it only says who must yield. Even when one driver is legally required to yield the right-of-way, if they fail to do so, other drivers are still required to stop or yield as necessary to avoid a crash.

3. If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you, you should:

Turn on your high beams.

Turn off your headlights.

Sound your horn.

Flash your high beams.

If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you, flash your high beams quickly a few times. If the driver does not dim their lights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights.

4. Drivers may not pass from either side of a ____ centerline.

Combination solid and broken yellow

Single broken yellow

Double solid yellow

Single broken white

A double solid yellow line down the center of a two-way road means that it is prohibited for traffic from either direction to cross the center to pass.

5. Roads become very slippery:

When it has been raining for an hour or more.

The day after it rains.

For the first 10 to 15 minutes of a rainstorm.

Right after the rain has stopped.

Pavement can become very slippery within the first 10 to 15 minutes of a rainstorm because the rain causes oil in the asphalt to rise to the surface of the road. This problem becomes even worse in hot weather. The heat combined with the water causes more oil to rise to the road surface.

6. A red flashing traffic light has the same meaning as a:

Solid red light.

Stop sign.

Yield sign.

Caution sign.

A red flashing traffic signal has the same meaning as a stop sign. When approaching a red flashing signal, come to a complete stop and proceed when it is safe to do so. A stop sign may sometimes also be posted where this signal is located.
