8. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?

Slow down and wait until there is no traffic approaching, then pass the bicyclist while leaving him or her sufficient space.

Continue driving straight. It is the bicyclist’s responsibility to get out of your way.

Do not pass the bicyclist until you come to a traffic signal or stop sign.

Honk at the bicyclist to let him or her know you are about to pass.

You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.

9. Car drivers should know that large trucks:

Have large blind spots.

Can stop more quickly than passenger vehicles.

Do not need more room to maneuver than passenger vehicles.

All of the above.

A large truck has large blind spots to the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle. Avoid lingering in these areas. Because of their larger size and weight, trucks require more room to maneuver and stop than passenger vehicles.

10. When two vehicles arrive to an intersection at the same time, which one has the right-of-way when no signs or signals indicate rules?

The car approaching from the right has the right-of-way.

The car approaching from the left has the right-of-way.

The car in which the driver sounds his horn first has the right-of-way.

The car that is traveling the fastest has the right-of-way.

At an intersection of two similar roads without a traffic control device, a driver must yield to a vehicle approaching from the right.

11. Drivers should drive in a center turn lane for no more than:

200 feet.

100 feet.

50 feet.

10 feet.

You may travel no farther than 200 feet in a center turn lane before making a left turn. After making a left turn onto the roadway, you may travel no farther than 50 feet in a center turn lane before merging with traffic.

12. Alcohol is the single greatest common factor in fatal motor vehicle crashes.

True

False

Alcohol is the number one killer on American roadways. Alcohol affects a person’s vision and slows their reaction time, so it takes longer to act in an emergency. Alcohol affects a person’s driving even if they are below the level of illegal intoxication.

13. You may not park within ____ of a crosswalk.

50 feet

40 feet

30 feet

20 feet

Drivers should not park within 20 feet of a crosswalk. Drivers should only park where it is legal to do so and where other drivers can clearly see their stopped vehicle.

14. You come to an intersection displaying a flashing red light. You should:

Come to a full stop and go when it is safe to do so.

Stop only if other cars are also approaching the intersection.

Stop only if other cars are already within the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop, if necessary.

A flashing red traffic light has the same meaning as a stop sign. You must stop, yield the right-of-way, and go once it is safe.
