- C.
Scan from side to side
Correct Answer
C. Scan from side to sideExplanation

This allows you to react in a timely manner and make necessary adjustments to your driving. Staring at the middle of the road or looking directly in front of your car limits your field of vision and may cause you to miss important information on the sides.Rate this question:

Your wheels should be pointed straight ahead, unless you are:
- A.
Waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light
- B.
Parked on a hill or sloping driveway
- C.
Parked on the side of a level roadway and there is no curb
Correct Answer
B. Parked on a hill or sloping drivewayExplanation
When parked on a hill or sloping driveway, it is important to turn your wheels in a specific direction to prevent your vehicle from rolling. If you are parked facing uphill, you should turn your wheels away from the curb or towards the road. This will allow the curb to act as a barrier and prevent your vehicle from rolling downhill. If you are parked facing downhill, you should turn your wheels towards the curb or towards the road. This will also prevent your vehicle from rolling downhill. This is why the correct answer is "Parked on a hill or sloping driveway."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Children under age one should not ride in the front seat of air bag-equipped vehiclesExplanation
Children under age one should not ride in the front seat of air bag-equipped vehicles. This is because air bags can be dangerous for infants due to their size and weight. Air bags are designed to protect adult passengers and can deploy with great force, which can cause serious injuries or even be fatal for young children. It is recommended that infants and young children ride in the back seat of the vehicle, in an appropriate child safety seat, facing the rear, to minimize the risk of injury in the event of a crash.Rate this question:

If your vehicle has three of more axels
Correct Answer
B. Any time a train may be approaching, whether or not you can see itExplanation
It is important to stop before crossing railroad tracks anytime a train may be approaching, whether or not you can see it. This is because trains can approach quickly and may not always be visible due to factors such as obstructions or blind spots. Stopping allows you to ensure that it is safe to proceed and prevents any potential accidents or collisions with trains. The presence or absence of gates or the number of axles on your vehicle does not determine when you should stop before crossing railroad tracks.Rate this question:

When driving in the fog, snow or rain use both windshield wipers and:
- A.
Low-beam headlights
- B.
High-beam headlights
- C.
Running lights
Correct Answer
A. Low-beam headlightsExplanation
When driving in fog, snow, or rain, it is important to use low-beam headlights. Low-beam headlights provide better visibility in adverse weather conditions by illuminating the road directly in front of the vehicle without causing glare or reflection. High-beam headlights should not be used in these conditions as they can reflect off the moisture particles in the air, further reducing visibility. Running lights are not sufficient for providing adequate visibility in such weather conditions.Rate this question:

- A.
At or near the same speed as the freeway traffic
- B.
At the legal freeway speed limit
- C.
Slower than the freeway traffic
Correct Answer
A. At or near the same speed as the freeway trafficExplanation
When merging onto a freeway, it is important to match the speed of the traffic already on the freeway or at least be close to it. This ensures a smooth and safe merging process, as merging at a significantly slower speed can disrupt the flow of traffic and increase the risk of accidents. By driving at or near the same speed as the freeway traffic, you can merge seamlessly and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.Rate this question:

If you have a green light, but traffic is blocking the intersection:
- A.
Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears
- B.
Enter the intersection until traffic clears
- C.
Merge into another lane and try to go around the traffic
Correct Answer
A. Stay out of the intersection until traffic clearsExplanation
When faced with a green light but a blocked intersection, the correct action is to stay out of the intersection until the traffic clears. This is because blocking the intersection can cause congestion and disrupt the flow of traffic in other directions. It is important to wait until there is enough space for your vehicle to completely clear the intersection before proceeding. Entering the intersection or trying to go around the traffic by merging into another lane is not recommended as it can lead to accidents and further congestion.Rate this question:

- A.
The lane closest to the left curb
- B.
The center lane
- C.
Any lane as long as it seems safe to do so
Correct Answer
A. The lane closest to the left curbExplanation
When turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, it is safest to start from the lane closest to the left curb. This allows for a smoother and more predictable turn, as you will be positioned closer to the left side of the road. Starting from the center lane may confuse other drivers and increase the risk of collisions. While it may be possible to turn from any lane if it seems safe, choosing the lane closest to the left curb is the recommended and correct option.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Must be marked with a red flag or lightsExplanation
Cargo extending more than four feet from your rear bumper must be marked with a red flag or lights. This is because it poses a potential hazard to other drivers on the road. The red flag or lights serve as a warning signal to alert other drivers of the extended cargo, ensuring their safety and preventing accidents.

Which of the following blocks the smooth flow of traffic?
- A.
Slowing down to look at an accident scene
- B.
Avoiding unnecessary lane changes
- C.
Using public transportation instead of your car
Correct Answer
A. Slowing down to look at an accident sceneExplanation
Slowing down to look at an accident scene can block the smooth flow of traffic because it causes a disruption in the normal speed and movement of vehicles. When drivers slow down to observe an accident, it creates a bottleneck effect as other vehicles behind them also reduce their speed, leading to congestion and delays. This behavior is often referred to as "rubbernecking" and can significantly impede the flow of traffic on busy roads. It is important for drivers to maintain their speed and focus on the road ahead to ensure a smooth traffic flow.Rate this question:

At the corner in an intersection
- B.
Across a sidewalk if you are parially in the drive way
- C.
In a bicycle lane if there is no sign forbidding it
Correct Answer
C. In a bicycle lane if there is no sign forbidding itExplanation
It is illegal to park at the corner in an intersection as it obstructs the view of other drivers and pedestrians, posing a safety hazard. Parking across a sidewalk, even partially in a driveway, is also not allowed as it blocks pedestrian access and can be inconvenient for the residents. However, if there is no sign specifically forbidding it, you may legally park in a bicycle lane.
