1. This sign means:

Stop.

Side road.

Two-way left turn.

Farm machinery.

Eight-sided traffic signs warn drivers that they must stop and yield the appropriate right-of-way at an intersection. Drivers may proceed when it is safe to do so.

2. Which is the most common cause of traffic crashes?

New drivers

Human error

Bad weather

Bad roads

Crashes often occur when one driver does not see another vehicle or when a driver does something unexpected. Communicate with other drivers on the road to help prevent traffic crashes.

3. When you are backing up, it is usually best to:

Steer with one hand while looking into the rearview mirror.

Open the driver side door and look back.

Steer with both hands while looking into the side view mirror.

Steer with one hand while looking over your shoulder through the rear window.

Turn your head to look behind you before and while backing up. Steer with one hand when backing up or when operating vehicle controls. You should keep both hands on the wheel at any other time.

4. Which statement about making a right turn is true?

You should swing wide to the left when making a right turn so you won't run over the curb.

You may make a right turn at a red traffic light, unless a sign prohibits the turn.

When making a right turn onto a four-lane roadway, finish the turn in the far left lane.

After yielding to traffic and pedestrians, you may turn right when stopped at a steady red traffic signal, unless posted signs prohibit it. When making a right turn, you should stay close to the right edge of the roadway and turn into the lane nearest to your previous lane.

5. It is unlawful to:

Pass another vehicle in any marked no passing zone.

Pass another vehicle over a railroad crossing.

Both of the above.

It is illegal to cross the centerline to pass when driving on hills, in curves, and in other locations where you cannot see ahead far enough to pass safely. You may not pass at street crossings, at railroad crossings, where signs indicate no passing zones, or where a solid yellow line is next to your lane. You may not pass when the vehicle in front of you has stopped for a pedestrian or when driving in work zones where passing would be hazardous.

6. Two solid yellow lines on the pavement mean:

Passing is allowed for drivers from both directions.

Passing is not allowed.

Passing is allowed if you are at the top a hill.

Passing is allowed during daylight only.

Yellow lines tell you that the traffic on the other side of the lines is moving in the opposite direction. You should never cross two solid yellow lines to pass from either direction.

7. It is important to slow down:

On narrow or winding roads.

At intersections or railroad crossings.

When the road is wet or slippery.

All of the above.

You should always slow down when driving on narrow or winding roads, near intersections, near railroad crossings, on hills, in sharp or blind curves, where there are pedestrians or driving hazards, and when the roads are wet or slippery.

8. When the driver behind you wants to pass, you should:

Speed up.

Go the same speed.

Slow down to allow room in front of your vehicle for the other driver to complete the pass easily.

Change lanes.

When the driver behind you wants to pass, you should slow down so that there is enough room in front of your vehicle for the other driver to complete their pass. This will allow them to complete the passing maneuver in less time and more easily.
