1. To turn left from multilane, one-way streets and highways, you should start from:

The middle of the intersection.

The right lane.

The left lane.

Any lane.

To turn left from multilane streets and highways, start from the left lane.

2. As you approach the top of a hill, you should:

Speed up slightly.

Prepare to stop, if needed.

Maintain a steady speed.

You may not know what is on the other side of a hill or just around a curve, even if you have driven the road many times. If a vehicle is stalled just out of sight on the roadway, you must be able to stop. Whenever you come to a hill or curve, adjust your speed so you can stop if necessary.

3. You are coming to an intersection with a flashing yellow light. You should:

Stop and wait for the light to change.

Make a U-turn because the intersection is closed.

Drive carefully through the intersection.

Prepare to stop; the light is about to turn red.

A flashing yellow light means that you should proceed through the intersection slowly and with caution. Scan your eyes across traffic in both directions.

4. A fully loaded tractor-trailer traveling at 55 mph could take up to ____ to come to a complete stop.

50 feet

125 feet

400 feet

750 feet

Tractor-trailers take longer distances to stop than smaller cars traveling at the same speed. A fully loaded tractor-trailer may take almost 400 feet to come to a complete stop when driving at 55 mph.

5. The correct way to use a freeway exit ramp is to:

Slow down before entering the exit ramp.

Slow down once moving onto the exit ramp.

Keep your speed constant once in the exit ramp.

Pass slower traffic in the exit ramp.

When using a freeway exit ramp, do not slow down until you move onto the exit ramp.

6. Which statement about right-of-way laws is true?

If two vehicles begin to enter an intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the left has the right-of-way.

When turning left at an intersection, you may turn before oncoming traffic passes.

You may make a right turn in front of a crossing pedestrian.

You should never demand the right-of-way.

You should never demand the right-of-way. Laws do not specify who has the right-of-way, only who does not. At a four-way stop, if multiple drivers arrive at once, the driver on the left should yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right. Drivers should yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians when turning right or left.

7. Broken yellow lines are used on streets and highways to:

Indicate no passing zones.

Separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction.

Separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. Dashed lines on the pavement indicate that passing is permitted when safe.

8. If you miss your exit on the freeway, you should not:

Continue on the freeway and find an alternate route to your destination.

Proceed to the next exit, leave the freeway, and return to your proper exit.

Back up on the road or shoulder.

If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up in the travel lane or on the shoulder. Continue to drive to the next exit or crossroad. Drivers do not expect a vehicle to be backing toward them on the roadway and doing so will likely cause a collision.
