51. When turning left at an intersection:

You should always yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Oncoming traffic and pedestrians should yield to you.

You should never yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

When turning left at an intersection, yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. Once the intersection is clear and applicable signals allow, you may complete the turn.

52. When involved in a collision, you should:

Move the injured as far away from the road as possible.

Move the injured to their desired location.

Insist the injured are fine without immediate medical attention.

Avoid moving the injured yourself unless absolutely necessary.

It is dangerous to move a seriously injured person. After an accident, avoid moving the injured unless it is absolutely necessary to remove them from areas threatened by fire or other dangers common to a crash scene. Keep the injured lying or sitting down until competent medical aid arrives.

53. Under normal weather and traffic conditions, keep a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

The more distance between your vehicle and others, the more time you have to react to the movements of other drivers. Keep a minimum following distance of two seconds under normal weather and traffic conditions. Increase your following distance under unusual weather or traffic conditions.

54. When driving on gravel or dirt roads:

Your tires grip the road better than when you are driving on pavement.

Your tires do not have as much traction as they do on pavement, so you must slow down.

Visibility is better than on pavement.

Your tires do not have as much traction on loose gravel and dirt roads as they do on concrete and asphalt roads. When driving on gravel or dirt, you must slow down. It will take you much longer to stop and it is much easier to skid when turning.

55. Fines for moving traffic violations in school zones are:

Lessened.

Unchanged.

Doubled.

Non-existent.

In Maine, fines for moving traffic violations are doubled within a school zone. Drive with extra care when driving through a school zone.

56. If you have an argument with another person and you are angry, you should:

Loudly play the radio while driving so you won’t think about your argument.

Take a few minutes to cool off before driving.

Drive on the interstate to let off steam.

Your emotions affect your ability to drive safely. If you are overly angry, excited, afraid, worried, or depressed, you should give yourself time to calm down before operating a vehicle. You need to be able to mentally focus on driving without thinking about the things that made you upset.

57. When the driver behind you wants to pass, you should:

Speed up.

Go the same speed.

Slow down to allow room in front of your vehicle for the other driver to complete the pass easily.

Change lanes.

When the driver behind you wants to pass, you should slow down so that there is enough room in front of your vehicle for the other driver to complete their pass. This will allow them to complete the passing maneuver in less time and more easily.

58. Always signal when:

Changing lanes.

Pulling into or out of a parking space.

Pulling into traffic from a parking area or alley.

All of the above.

Your turn signals should always be used when you make any movement to the left or right. You should use your signal when pulling into traffic from a curbside parking space, moving into a new lane, or passing another vehicle.

59. Allowing a space cushion between your vehicle and its surroundings is important because it:

Prevents distractions from other vehicles.

Allows you time to react to unexpected situations.

Keeps traffic flowing at a safe pace.

Keeps other drivers alert.

The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react to mistakes made by other drivers is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you.

60. You are approaching an intersection at the posted speed limit when the signal turns yellow. You should:

Slow down and proceed through the intersection without caution.

Speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red.

Stop before entering the intersection, if you can do so safely.

A solid yellow light means "caution" and signals that the light will soon turn red. You should stop at a solid yellow light if you can do so safely; otherwise, you should cautiously cross the intersection.
