Number of Tests 24

Number of Question 36

Passing Score 30

13. On a multilane road, a dashed yellow line next to a solid yellow line means:

Passing is prohibited from both directions.

Passing is permitted from both directions.

Passing is permitted only from the direction next to the dashed line.

Where there are both solid and dashed yellow lines between lanes of traffic, only traffic directly next to the dashed line may cross the centerline to pass. Drivers next to the solid line may not pass.

14. Tailgating other drivers (driving too closely to their rear bumper):

Can frustrate other drivers and make them angry.

Cannot result in a traffic citation.

Reduces collisions by preventing being "cut off."

Tailgating is a common behavior that can lead to aggressive driving, and so it should be avoided. Drivers may face legal consequences for driving unsafely.

15. If you are continually being passed on the right and the left while driving in the center lane of an expressway, you should:

Stay in the center lane.

Move to the lane on your right.

Move to the lane on your left.

If a road has four or more lanes with two-way traffic, drive in the right lanes unless you are passing or turning left. If you are on an interstate highway and are driving below the speed of the flow of traffic, use the right lane.

16. Sudden wind gusts on highways:

Generally affect only the movement of large vehicles.

Only cause visibility problems.

Can cause problems for all vehicles.

While it can create special problems for large vehicles, strong wind can cause problems for all drivers. Wind can lower visibility by blowing dirt and dust into the roadway, but it can sometimes also physically move a vehicle.

17. When passing another vehicle, you should return to your original lane when:

You can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

You have cleared the front bumper of the passed vehicle.

You are 50 feet in front of the passed vehicle.

When passing another vehicle, move back into your original lane only when you can see the passed vehicle’s headlights in your rearview mirror. This ensures that you will have enough room to safely pull back in front of the other vehicle.

18. What should you do at an intersection with a flashing yellow signal light?

Maintain your speed but watch for other vehicles.

Stop before crossing the intersection.

Slow down and cross the intersection carefully.

Slow down and be alert before entering the intersection. Yield to any pedestrians, bicyclists, or vehicles in the intersection. You do not need to stop for a flashing yellow traffic signal light.
