1. A curb painted red means:

  • Stopping or parking is not allowed (except buses)
  • Parking is for disabled persons only
  • Parking is for emergency vehicles only

Red curbs prohibit stopping or parking (buses may stop at marked stops).

2. You are about to make a left turn. You must signal continuously during the last ____ feet before the turn.

  • 50
  • 75
  • 100

Signal at least 100 feet before turning.

3. You are driving 55 m.p.h. on a two lane road and want to pass the car ahead of you. To pass safely, you need a _____ gap in the oncoming traffic.

  • 5 second
  • 7 second
  • 10 to 12 second

At 55 mph, you need at least a 10-12 second gap in oncoming traffic to pass safely. This allows enough time to complete the passing maneuver.

4. Who has the right-of-way at an intersection where there are no crosswalks?

  • The vehicle, but it should slow down
  • The pedestrian, always
  • The pedestrian, but only when a crosswalk is marked

Pedestrians always have right-of-way, even without marked crosswalks.

5. When turning left at an intersection, you should:

  • Always make a complete stop before turning
  • Check cross traffic from both directions before turning
  • Pull part way into the intersection and edge into cross traffic slowly

Before turning left, always check for cross traffic from both directions to ensure it's safe to turn.

6. This sign means:

  • Stop every time
  • Stop two feet before the limit line
  • Stop only if other vehicles are present

A STOP sign requires a complete stop every time, regardless of other traffic.

7. You can make a right turn at a red light, after checking for pedestrians and other traffic:

  • Only if there is a sign that says it is OK
  • At any time, as long as you slow down first
  • After you stop and there is no sign to prohibit the turn

Right turn on red is allowed after stopping, unless prohibited by a sign.

8. To turn left from a multilane one-way street onto a one-way street, you should start your turn from:

  • Any lane (as long as it is safe)
  • The lane closest to the left curb
  • The lane in the center of the road

Turn left from the far left lane on one-way streets.

9. You are driving on a highway. Your tire suddenly goes flat and you need to pull over and get help. Where should you pull over?

  • In the right-hand lane
  • Wherever your car will be visible for 200 feet from the front
  • Off the pavement

When you have vehicle trouble on a highway, pull completely off the pavement onto the shoulder for safety. This keeps you out of traffic lanes.

10. You should use a turnout lane when:

  • You want to pass another driver
  • You want to make a U-turn
  • Faster drivers want to pass you

Turnout lanes are designated areas where slower-moving vehicles can pull over to allow faster traffic to pass safely.

11. This lane is used to:

  • Pass other vehicles when traffic permits
  • Make right turns when traffic permits
  • Begin or end left turns when traffic permits

Center left-turn lanes are for beginning or ending left turns only.

12. Which of these statements is true about blind spots?

  • You only need to turn and look over your right shoulder for lane changes to the right or left
  • Look over your right shoulder for a right lane change and your left shoulder for a left lane change
  • Vehicles with two outside mirrors do not have blind spots

Always look over the appropriate shoulder to check blind spots before changing lanes.

13. If you plan to pass another vehicle, you should:

  • Not assume the other driver will make space for you to return to your lane
  • Assume the other driver will let you pass if you use your turn signal
  • Assume the other driver will maintain a constant speed

Never assume other drivers will cooperate. Always check that you have enough space to pass safely.

14. You sold your vehicle. You must notify ___ within 5 days.

  • Your insurance company
  • DMV

Notify DMV within 5 days of selling your vehicle to avoid liability.

15. Which statement is not true about road workers?

  • Fines are doubled in construction zones
  • White signs tell of closed lanes
  • Equipment is painted orange

Orange signs indicate construction, not white signs.
