Texas driver's examination

Each time you pass another vehicle, there is an increased chance for a collision. If you are moving faster than surrounding traffic, you will have to continue passing others. Drive with the flow of traffic, within the legal speed limit, and pass only as needed.

Texas drivers are not allowed to have muffler cutouts on their vehicles. It is prohibited for a vehicle to be equipped with a radar interference device designed, manufactured, used, or intended to be used to interfere with, scramble, disrupt, or cause to malfunction a radar or laser device used to measure a vehicle’s speed. Red lights and sirens are prohibited except when used by an emergency vehicle.

After stopping at an intersection, take the extra time to check for crossing traffic and bicyclists before moving. It is recommended that you look left, then right, then left again before entering the intersection.

Pedestrian hybrid beacons are used at pedestrian crossings. If the lights on the signal turn black, drivers should proceed past the crosswalk with caution.

Eight-sided traffic signs warn drivers that they must stop and yield the appropriate right-of-way at an intersection. Drivers may proceed when it is safe to do so.

A solid line along the side of the road indicates where its edge is, marking the boundary between the travel lane and the shoulder. If the edge line angles toward the center of the road, this means that the road is narrower ahead.
