24. What should a driver do when approaching a traffic control signal that is not in operation?

Come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

If the intersection is clear, the driver does not need to stop.

Drive quickly through the intersection to get out of the way of other vehicles.

When traffic control signals are not working, a driver must always treat the intersection as an all-way stop and come to a complete stop, unless otherwise directed by law enforcement. The driver must then look and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

25. To enter a freeway:

Signal, yield to existing traffic, and enter at the same speed that traffic is moving.

Signal and enter the freeway. Freeway traffic must yield.

Drive slowly so you can check traffic.

Always come to a complete stop first.

When merging into traffic, you should signal and enter at the same speed that traffic is moving. Always yield to other traffic when entering a roadway.

26. You are approaching a railroad crossing that has no visible gates or flashing lights, but has a standard crossbuck. You should:

Approach all tracks with extreme caution and cross only when you know that there is no train coming.

Turn your radio down to hear if there may be an approaching train.

Only continue once cleared to do so by a flagger, if applicable.

All of the above.

You must approach all railroad crossings with extreme caution and cross only when you know that no train is coming from either direction. If there is a flagger at a crossing, you must obey all of their instructions.

27. To ensure that your physical condition does not cause you to drive in an unsafe manner, you should:

Keep physically fit and have regular physical examinations.

Know the effect of any medicine on your driving ability.

Drive within your physical limitations.

All of the above.

Your physical condition has an important bearing on your ability to drive safely. Drivers should be aware of their physical limitations and only drive if it is safe to do so.

28. A large truck is ahead of you and is turning right onto a street with two lanes in each direction. The truck:

May complete its turn in either of the two lanes.

May have to swing wide to complete the right turn.

Must stay in the right lane at all times while turning.

When a vehicle makes a turn, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle, the bigger the difference between the paths of the front and rear wheels. Therefore, long trucks often have to swing wide to complete a right turn.

29. Which drivers are subject to the South Carolina Point System?

Permit holders

All drivers

Intermediate drivers only

Drivers over 65 years of age

A license to drive confers a privilege, not a right. You may keep this privilege only as long as you drive safely. Your license will be suspended if you accumulate 12 points for violations committed inside or outside of the state.

30. The driver ahead of you stops at a crosswalk. What should you do?

Cautiously pass the vehicle at 10 mph or slower.

Stop, proceeding only when all the pedestrians have crossed.

Change lanes, look carefully, and pass the stopped vehicle.

You must not pass a vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk. There may be pedestrians crossing the street that you cannot see. Instead, stop, proceeding only after all pedestrians have crossed.
