Which way do you turn your front wheels when parked uphill next to a curb?
- A.
Parallel to the curb
- B.
Away from the curb
- C.
Toward the curb
Correct Answer
B. Away from the curbExplanation
When parking uphill next to a curb, it is recommended to turn your front wheels away from the curb. This is because in case the vehicle rolls downhill, the wheels will roll away from the curb and prevent the car from hitting it. Turning the wheels in this direction creates a "V" shape with the curb, providing an additional safety measure to avoid any potential accidents or damage to the vehicle or the curb.Rate this question:

A law enforcement officer notices that one of your passengers is not wearing a seat belt and writes a citation. Which of the following is true?
- A.
Both you and your passenger will receive a citation
- B.
Your passenger will receive the citation, regardless of age
- C.
You may receive the citation if the passenger is 15 or younger
Correct Answer
C. You may receive the citation if the passenger is 15 or youngerExplanation
If a law enforcement officer notices that one of your passengers is not wearing a seat belt and writes a citation, you may receive the citation if the passenger is 15 or younger. This means that as the driver, you are responsible for ensuring that passengers who are 15 years old or younger are wearing their seat belts. If they are not, you may be held accountable and receive a citation. However, if the passenger is older than 15, only the passenger will receive the citation.Rate this question:

To make a right turn onto a two-way street from two-way street, start in the right-hand lane and end in:
- A.
The left lane
- B.
The lane closest to the curb
- C.
Any lane that is available
Correct Answer
B. The lane closest to the curbExplanation
When making a right turn onto a two-way street from a two-way street, it is recommended to start in the right-hand lane and end in the lane closest to the curb. This is because the right-hand lane provides the most direct path for the right turn, and ending in the lane closest to the curb ensures that the vehicle is positioned correctly within the lane and does not impede the flow of traffic. Ending in any other lane that is available may result in improper positioning or confusion for other drivers.Rate this question:

Following closely behind another vehicle (tailgating):
- A.
Increases fuel efficiency
- B.
Is a common cause of rear-end accidents
- C.
Helps keep traffic moving
Correct Answer
B. Is a common cause of rear-end accidentsExplanation
Tailgating, or following closely behind another vehicle, is a common cause of rear-end accidents. When a driver tailgates, they leave very little space between their vehicle and the one in front of them, reducing their ability to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic. This increases the risk of collision, as the driver may not have enough time to brake or maneuver safely. Rear-end accidents can result in property damage, injuries, and even fatalities, making tailgating a dangerous behavior on the road.Rate this question:

When traffic is slow and heavy and you must cross railroad tracks before reaching the upcoming intersection, you should:
- A.
Stop between the crossing gates in case they close
- B.
Stop on the tracks and wait for your light to turn green
- C.
Wait until you can completely cross the tracks before you proceed
Correct Answer
C. Wait until you can completely cross the tracks before you proceedExplanation
When traffic is slow and heavy and you must cross railroad tracks before reaching the upcoming intersection, it is important to wait until you can completely cross the tracks before you proceed. Stopping between the crossing gates in case they close is not recommended as it can obstruct the flow of traffic and potentially cause accidents. Similarly, stopping on the tracks and waiting for your light to turn green is dangerous and can put you at risk of being hit by a train. Therefore, the best course of action is to wait until it is safe to completely cross the tracks before proceeding.Rate this question:

At night, if an oncoming vehicle fails to dim its high beams, look:
- A.
Toward the center of the roadway
- B.
Toward the right edge of your lane
- C.
Straight ahead in your lane
Correct Answer
B. Toward the right edge of your laneExplanation
When an oncoming vehicle fails to dim its high beams at night, it can be blinding and make it difficult to see the road ahead. Looking toward the right edge of your lane allows you to avoid the direct glare of the oncoming headlights and maintain some visibility of the road. This way, you can still have a clear view of the road and any potential hazards while minimizing the impact of the high beams on your vision.Rate this question:

You should always turn on your emergency flashers when:
- A.
You are double parked in a traffic lane
- B.
You are parked on the side of the road in heavy fog
- C.
Your car has broken down on the roadway
Correct Answer
C. Your car has broken down on the roadwayExplanation
When your car has broken down on the roadway, it is important to turn on your emergency flashers. This is because it alerts other drivers to the fact that your vehicle is not functioning properly and helps to ensure your safety. By activating the emergency flashers, you are indicating to other drivers that they should proceed with caution and give you space. This can help to prevent accidents and ensure that you receive the necessary assistance in a timely manner.Rate this question:

You are entering a freeway. You should check traffic by:
- A.
Looking over your shoulder
- B.
Using the inside and outside mirrors only
- C.
Checking all mirrors and turning your head
Correct Answer
C. Checking all mirrors and turning your headExplanation
When entering a freeway, it is important to check traffic in all directions to ensure a safe merge. Simply using the inside and outside mirrors may not provide a complete view of the surrounding traffic. By checking all mirrors and turning your head, you can effectively assess the situation and make informed decisions while entering the freeway. This comprehensive approach helps to minimize blind spots and potential hazards, ensuring a smoother merge onto the freeway.Rate this question:

You exit a freeway on a ramp that curves downhill. You should:
- A.
Slow to a safe speed before the curve
- B.
Slow to the posted speed limit for the freeway
- C.
Wait until you have entered the curve to begin breaking
Correct Answer
A. Slow to a safe speed before the curveExplanation
When exiting a freeway on a ramp that curves downhill, it is important to slow down to a safe speed before reaching the curve. This is because the downhill slope can increase the vehicle's speed, making it difficult to navigate the curve safely. By reducing speed before the curve, the driver can maintain better control of the vehicle and avoid potential accidents or loss of control. Slowing to the posted speed limit for the freeway or waiting until entering the curve to begin braking may not provide enough time to adjust to the curve and could lead to a dangerous situation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. If it is unsafe for current weather conditionsExplanation
If it is unsafe for current weather conditions, you can be cited for speeding even if you are driving below the speed limit. This is because the speed limit is set for ideal driving conditions, and if the weather conditions make it unsafe to drive at that speed, you can still be ticketed for going too fast.Rate this question:

Always look carefully for motorcycles before you change lanes because:
- A.
Their smaller size makes them harder to see
- B.
They usually have the right-of-way at intersections
- C.
It is illegal for motorcycles to share traffic lanes
Correct Answer
A. Their smaller size makes them harder to seeExplanation
Motorcycles are smaller in size compared to other vehicles on the road, which makes them more difficult to see. This is especially true when changing lanes, as motorcycles can easily get hidden in blind spots or obscured by larger vehicles. Therefore, it is important to always be vigilant and check for motorcycles before making any lane changes to ensure the safety of both the motorcyclist and other drivers on the road.Rate this question:

When the answer states "You are approaching from behind," it means that you should dim your lights for oncoming vehicles or when you are within 300 feet of a vehicle that you are approaching from behind. This is because the bright lights can blind the driver of the vehicle in front, making it difficult for them to see and potentially causing an accident. By dimming your lights, you ensure the safety of both yourself and the driver in front of you.Rate this question:

- A.
Your driving privilege will be taken away
- B.
You will receive an additional fine
- C.
You will not be allowed to post bail
Correct Answer

When roads are slippery, you should:
- A.
Avoid making fast turns and fast stops
- B.
Pump your breaks to test the traction of your tires
- C.
Decrease the distance that you look ahead of your vehicle
Correct Answer
A. Avoid making fast turns and fast stopsExplanation
When roads are slippery, it is important to avoid making fast turns and fast stops. This is because slippery roads reduce the traction between the tires and the road surface, making it more difficult to maintain control of the vehicle. Making fast turns or stops can cause the tires to lose grip, leading to skidding or sliding. By avoiding these sudden movements, drivers can maintain better control of their vehicle and reduce the risk of accidents on slippery roads.Rate this question:

- C.
Change lanes, drive slowly, and pass cautiously
Correct Answer
B. Stop until the lights stop flashingExplanation
When a school bus with its red lights flashing is stopped ahead on your side of the road, you must stop until the lights stop flashing. This is because the flashing red lights indicate that the bus is loading or unloading children, and it is illegal and unsafe to pass a school bus with its lights activated.

By slowly easing your foot off the gas pedal, you allow the tires to regain traction and prevent further skidding. This action helps to maintain stability and control over the vehicle, increasing the chances of avoiding a potential accident.Rate this question:
