9. The posted maximum speed limit is the fastest you can drive in an area.

True

False

The posted maximum speed limit is the fastest legal driving speed in an area, under ideal conditions. You must reduce your speed when conditions require it, such as when the roadway is slippery or when it is difficult to see clearly down the road.

10. If two drivers arrive at the same time to an open intersection:

The driver on the right has the right-of-way.

The driver on the left has the right-of-way.

One driver may continue driving without stopping.

One driver should honk to indicate that they are giving up the right-of-way.

If you arrive to an open intersection at the same time as a vehicle to your right, you should yield the right-of-way to that vehicle. You may then proceed when it is safe to do so.

11. Drivers may park in the handicap parking access aisles located directly beside handicap parking stalls.

True

False

It is prohibited for anyone to park in handicap parking access aisles. These aisles are meant to provide space for wheelchairs and wheelchair lifts.

12. 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.

13. A red arrow displayed on a traffic light means that:

A driver must proceed slowly through the intersection.

A driver must stop and then proceed when the way is clear.

A driver must stop and then proceed when the signal changes to a green light or green arrow.

A driver may turn in the direction that the red arrow is pointing.

Unless a posted sign indicates otherwise, a traffic signal displaying a red arrow means that drivers must come to a full stop and remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears.

Red, yellow, green.

Red, green, yellow.

Green, red, yellow.

Green, yellow, red.

On a traffic signal arranged vertically, red is always on top and green on the bottom. When arranged horizontally, red is always on the left and green on the right.

15. The effect that lack of sleep has on your safe driving ability is the same as:

The effect that alcohol has.

The effect that amphetamines have.

The effect that anger has.

The effect that driving with teenagers has.

Fatigue and being under the influence of alcohol have similar effects on your ability to drive safely. For example, being awake for 18 hours impairs your driving about as much as a blood alcohol level of 0.05 percent. Being awake for 24 hours in a row has the same effect on your driving as a blood alcohol level of 0.10 percent.

16. You have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off the edge of the pavement. What should you do first?

Turn the front wheels slightly to the left to edge the car back onto the pavement.

Hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes.

Apply the brakes and turn the front wheels sharply to the left.

If your vehicle leaves the roadway, hold the steering wheel firmly, release the gas pedal, and gently apply the brakes. Wait until your speed has reduced, check the traffic, and look for a place to safely return to the roadway by merging back into traffic. Overcompensating by jerking the wheel to return to the roadway can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or may cause your car to go into other lanes of traffic.
