1. You must stop at an intersection when you see a:

Flashing red light.

Steady yellow light.

Yellow arrow.

Flashing yellow light.

A flashing red traffic signal has the same meaning as a stop sign. At an intersection with a flashing red light, you must come to a complete stop, look both ways, and proceed only after the intersection is clear.

2. A solid yellow arrow on a traffic signal means:

You should speed up so you can make the turn before the light changes.

You do not need to signal to turn from the indicated lane.

You should prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.

A solid yellow arrow means that the protection of a green arrow is ending. If you are turning in the direction of the arrow, you should prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic before turning.

3. A motorist making a left turn at an intersection must yield the right-of-way to a bicyclist entering the intersection from the opposite direction.

True

False

When turning left at an intersection, you must yield to oncoming bicycles in the same manner that you would yield to oncoming motor vehicles. Keep your wheels straight while waiting to turn and proceed when the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians.

4. Check your rearview mirrors:

Often to see how traffic is moving behind you.

To see if a vehicle is in your blind spot.

Only when you are slowing down.

When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so you know the positions of vehicles near you.

5. When driving in fog:

Use your parking lights.

Use your low beams.

Use your high beams.

It makes no difference which lights you use.

You should use low beam headlights when driving in fog, rain, or snow.

6. If you come to an intersection and your view to the side is blocked, you should:

Slow down and look both ways.

Maintain your speed and look both ways.

Stop, then inch forward until you can see clearly in both directions.

Drivers must slow down when approaching an intersection. If a clear view of cross traffic is obscured, a driver should come to a stop and inch forward until they can see clearly in both directions.

7. After you have passed a vehicle moving in the same direction, it is safe to move back into the right lane:

After about three seconds.

When you can no longer see the passed vehicle over your right shoulder.

When you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

When passing, you should not return to your original lane until you can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror. Always check your blind spots before moving back into your original lane.

8. If you need to drive in foggy weather:

Turn on your low beam headlights.

Turn on your hazard lights.

It is okay to drive at the maximum speed limit.

Do not drive at a speed above 10 miles per hour.

You are required to use your headlights during the day when visibility is reduced to 500 feet or less. When you first turn on your headlights, be sure they are adjusted to the low beam setting. Using high beams in fog or rain will cause the light to reflect back into your eyes, lowering visibility even more.
