25. You want to park downhill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?

Straight ahead

Right, toward the side of the road

Left, toward the center of the road

When parking facing downhill on a road with or without a curb, or when facing uphill on a road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a road with a curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if the brakes fail.

26. When approaching a school bus stopped with its stop arm extended, drivers should:

Come to a complete stop and wait to proceed.

Honk their horn before passing the bus on its left.

Continue driving when they think most kids are probably done exiting the bus.

Pass the bus before its door opens.

When approaching a stopped school bus that is using its stop signal, a driver is required to come to a complete stop. They should not proceed until the stop arm is withdrawn.

27. Night driving can be more difficult than driving during the day because:

Cars overheat more quickly at night.

Visibility is reduced in the dark.

It is more likely to be raining at night.

You are more likely to encounter a motorcycle at night.

At night, your field of vision is reduced. To make sure you are able to react to hazards on the roadway, always use appropriate headlights. Drive slowly enough that you are able to stop within the distance that you can see ahead.

28. On a freeway, you realize you missed your turn or exit. You should:

Make the turn quickly from your lane of travel.

Stop and back up.

Continue driving until you reach the next turn, exit, or other location where you can safely turn around.

Signal other drivers to stop so you can turn.

If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up, but go on to the next turn or exit where you can safely turn around. It is illegal to back up on a shoulder or a freeway.

29. "No passing zone" signs tell drivers:

To speed up slightly.

That it is not safe to pass.

To maintain a steady speed.

If you come across a "No passing zone" sign, it is not legal to pass in the indicated area. You are likely driving in an area with restricted visibility where it would be unsafe to pass another vehicle.

30. Which is not a factor in determining the distance that it takes to stop your vehicle?

Steering ability

Braking distance

Reaction distance

Perception time

The distance required to stop your vehicle depends on perception time, reaction distance, and braking distance. This changes with speed and road conditions.

31. When approaching a steady red traffic light, drivers should:

Drive through the intersection if there is no crossing traffic.

Continue driving, as they have the right-of-way.

Stop only if a police officer is nearby.

Come to a complete stop.

A steady red traffic light indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop. Driving through a red light is against the law and is extremely dangerous. Drivers may turn right on a steady red light if there is no sign prohibiting a turn on red.

32. When a bicyclist is making a left turn:

They may use the left lane.

They may cut through all lanes.

They may wait on the side of the road.

You should expect to see bicyclists driving with traffic on the road. You should not be surprised to see a bicyclist using the left lane when turning.
