1.

A driver should be extra alert to motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians because:

They’re difficult to see in traffic.
They obey different traffic laws than larger motor vehicles.
They always have the right-of-way.
They don’t have rearview mirrors.

Explanation ▾

In many collisions with motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians, drivers reported that they were looking but still did not see the smaller vehicle or pedestrian. These can be more difficult to spot in traffic than passenger vehicles because they are smaller, may move faster, and have less noticeable lighting. To prevent collisions with these smaller and less protected road users, drivers should always be alert to the presence of motorcycles, bikes, and pedestrians.

2.

A yellow light that flashes on and off means:

Stop and look for other vehicles, then go if there is no traffic.
Stop and wait for a green light.
Speed up to clear the intersection quickly.
Slow down and proceed with caution.

Explanation ▾

A flashing yellow traffic light means drivers should slow down and proceed with caution.

3.

To prepare for anything coming up on the road ahead, you should:

Continually scan the entire road and all roadsides.
Stare straight ahead at all times.
Drive with your left foot resting lightly on the brake pedal.
Maintain focus toward the middle of the road.

Explanation ▾

Your ability to handle dangerous traffic situations depends largely on searching for and identifying problems before meeting them. Looking far ahead of your vehicle does not mean you should simply stare at the center of the road. You need to continually scan the entire road, including the sides of the road.

4.

Lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are divided by ____ lines.

Yellow
White
Red
Black

Explanation ▾

Solid white lines are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction (as well as to mark the right edge of the road). Broken white lines separate lanes traveling in the same direction and may be crossed to pass. Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

5.

You are driving along a street and hear a siren. You cannot immediately see the emergency vehicle. You should:

Keep driving until you see the vehicle.
Pull to the curb and look to see if it is on your street.
Slow down. Don't stop until you see it.
Speed up and turn at the next intersection.

Explanation ▾

If you hear a siren or an air horn close by but do not know exactly where the emergency vehicle is, safely pull over to the right side of the road and stop until you are sure it is not headed toward you.

6.

Certain highway signs require drivers to obey an indicated instruction. Such signs are known as:

Regulatory signs.
Warning signs.
Information signs.
Guide signs.

Explanation ▾

Regulatory signs require drivers to obey an indicated instruction. Failure to comply is subject to penalty.
