The driver on your left has the right-of-way.

You have the right-of-way.

Whoever is signaling to make a turn has the right-of-way.

If two vehicles arrive at the same time to an intersection that has stop signs on all corners, the vehicle to the right has the right-of-way.

2. Your license can be suspended if you are under 21 and drive with a blood alcohol level of:

0.15 percent or more.

0.08 percent or more.

Any amount.

There is zero tolerance for alcohol use by drivers under age 21. If you are under 21, the detection of any trace of alcohol in your system will result in stiff penalties, including the suspension of your license for two years.

You are about to enter a one-way street from the wrong direction.

U-turns are prohibited.

You may proceed if the way is clear.

This sign marks a one-way road, entrance, or exit. If you are facing this sign, traffic is coming toward you. Turn around if you are driving toward this sign.

4. Drivers turning left must yield to:

Oncoming vehicles traveling straight or turning right.

Passing cars.

No one in particular.

Drivers making a left turn must yield to all vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. This includes bicycles and motorcycles.

5. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

6. When a school bus is stopped on the road ahead to load or unload children, you must:

Come to a complete stop until all the children have left the bus.

Come to a complete stop until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm is withdrawn.

Change lanes, drive slowly, and pass the bus cautiously.

When a school bus is stopped on the road ahead with its lights flashing and its stop arm extended, you must come to a complete stop and wait to proceed until the lights have stopped flashing and the stop arm is withdrawn. Even after the bus begins to move again, do not proceed until you are sure there are no children crossing the road ahead of you.

7. What is a crosswalk?

Another name for a four-way intersection.

An area designated for road construction workers.

The area where pedestrians may cross the roadway.

Pedestrian crosswalks are often shown by white, solid lines to emphasize pedestrian crossing points. Crosswalks may have additional lines between the white, solid lines or in place of the parallel lines. However, crosswalks may also be unmarked.

8. If the driver of an oncoming vehicle fails to dim their headlights:

Look toward the center of the roadway.

Look toward the right side of the road.

Look straight ahead.

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their headlights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course. Do not try to retaliate by keeping your bright lights on.
