💡 Curvy mountain roads require careful lane positioning and smooth speed adjustments for safety.
1 / 15
When driving on a coastal mountain road like the one shown, what is the safest practice to help maintain control and avoid hazards?
❌ Incorrect. Speeding or drifting toward the edge reduces control and increases risk on winding mountain roads.
✅ Correct! Staying centered and adjusting speed for curves helps keep you safe and stable on narrow, winding roads.
📘 Question Explanation: Maintaining a centered lane position and reducing speed for curves improves control and visibility on winding mountain roads.
💡 Every road entering the intersection has a stop sign. Think about what this requires from every driver approaching.
2 / 15
At a 4-way stop intersection, what do the stop signs on all four approaches mean for drivers?
❌ Incorrect. At a 4-way stop, every driver must stop. No approach is exempt, and rolling through is not allowed.
✅ Correct! A 4-way stop means all vehicles must stop and then proceed safely in the proper order of arrival.
📘 Question Explanation: A 4-way stop requires all approaching vehicles to stop fully. After stopping, drivers proceed based on who arrived first and standard right-of-way rules.
💡 Vehicles facing a stop sign must yield to traffic on the through road.
3 / 15
At this intersection, which vehicle must yield the right of way?
❌ Incorrect. The blue car must wait because it is entering from a stop sign while the red SUV has the right of way.
✅ Correct! The red SUV is traveling on the through road, so the blue car must yield.
📘 Question Explanation: The blue car is at a stop sign. The red SUV is on the through road and does not stop, so the blue car must yield.
💡 If you entered on green to turn left, you may clear the intersection when safe—even if the light is turning yellow or red.
4 / 15
A blue vehicle is stopped in the middle of an intersection after entering on a green light, waiting to turn left. The light is now changing. What should the driver do?
❌ Incorrect. Backing up or waiting through another full cycle is unsafe and illegal in most states.
✅ Correct! If you entered on green, you should clear the intersection safely once traffic allows.
📘 Question Explanation: Drivers already in the intersection may finish the left turn when the oncoming traffic clears. They must not back up or block the intersection.
💡 Flashing red lights and an extended stop arm mean all drivers must remain fully stopped. Do not move until the bus finishes its loading cycle.
5 / 15
When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing, stop arm extended, and children crossing, what must you do as a driver?
❌ Incorrect. You must remain stopped until the bus shuts off its red lights, retracts the stop arm, closes its doors, and begins moving again. Passing too early is illegal.
✅ Correct! You waited until all signals stopped and the bus began moving, which is the legally required and safest action around school buses.
📘 Question Explanation: The law requires drivers to stay stopped until the bus turns off red lights, retracts the stop arm, closes doors, and begins moving forward. This protects children crossing the roadway.
💡 Observe the signs and the pedestrians’ position; prioritize safety at unmarked or marked crosswalks.
6 / 15
You are driving the yellow car. What must you do as you approach this crosswalk with pedestrians already on it?
❌ Incorrect. Always prioritize pedestrian safety; failing to yield can lead to accidents or violations. Review right-of-way rules.
✅ Correct! Yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks ensures safety and complies with traffic laws.
📘 Question Explanation: Drivers must yield to pedestrians in or entering a crosswalk, stopping if necessary to avoid hazards.
💡 Remember: most states set the legal limit for regular adult drivers at 0.08 % or lower.
7 / 15
The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for most adult drivers is:
❌ Incorrect. 0.08 % is the legal limit for most adult drivers. Anything at or above this level is considered driving under the influence (DUI).
✅ Correct! The legal BAC limit for drivers 21+ is 0.08 %. Staying below this keeps you safe and legal.
📘 Question Explanation: In nearly all U.S. states, driving with a BAC of 0.08 % or higher is illegal for drivers 21 and older. This is the standard per se DUI limit.
💡 High beams blind oncoming drivers from far away — think half a football field plus.
8 / 15
You must dim your high beams when you are within how many feet of an oncoming vehicle?
❌ Incorrect. The law requires dimming high beams at 500 feet for oncoming traffic. Anything less can blind the other driver and cause a crash.
✅ Correct! You must dim high beams when within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle — courteous and required by law.
📘 Question Explanation: In all U.S. states, you must switch to low beams when within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle (some states 300 ft for following).
💡 A blowout pulls the car toward the flat tire. The #1 rule is: don’t brake hard and don’t over-steer.
9 / 15
If a tire blows out while driving, you should:
❌ Incorrect. Slamming brakes or over-correcting usually causes loss of control and a crash. Stay straight, ease off gas, and slow down gradually.
✅ Correct! Holding straight and easing off the gas keeps you in control until you can safely slow down and pull over.
📘 Question Explanation: When a tire blows, grip the wheel tightly, keep it pointed straight, ease off the accelerator to slow gradually, then steer gently to the shoulder once speed is under control.
💡 The back is sliding out → turn the wheel the same way the rear is going. “Steer into it!”
10 / 15
If your vehicle begins to skid, you should:
❌ Incorrect. Braking hard or steering against the skid usually makes you spin. The correct move is to steer gently into the skid until you regain control.
✅ Correct! Steering into the skid (same direction the rear is sliding) is the fastest, safest way to regain control.
📘 Question Explanation: When a skid happens, look and steer where you want the car to go (usually the direction the rear is sliding). This regains traction faster than braking or over-correcting.
💡 Points are bad! They’re added every time you break traffic laws.
11 / 15
Points on your license are:
❌ Incorrect. Points are negative marks added for violations, not rewards. Accumulating too many can lead to license suspension or higher insurance.
✅ Correct! Points are demerit marks added for traffic violations. Keep them low to avoid suspension.
📘 Question Explanation: Most states use a point system: moving violations (speeding, red light, etc.) add demerit points to your record. Too many points → suspension.
💡 Suspension = zero driving allowed, no exceptions.
12 / 15
If your license is suspended, you:
❌ Incorrect. Driving on a suspended license is a serious offense, often a misdemeanor or felony, leading to arrest, fines, and longer suspension.
✅ Correct! When your license is suspended, you must not drive at all until it is officially reinstated.
📘 Question Explanation: A suspended license means you are legally prohibited from driving any motor vehicle on public roads until the suspension period ends and it is reinstated.
💡 Solid double yellow = never cross to pass, no matter what.
13 / 15
What does a solid double yellow line in the center of the road indicate?
❌ Incorrect. Solid double yellow lines prohibit passing in either direction. Crossing them to pass is illegal and very dangerous.
✅ Correct! Solid double yellow lines mean no passing is allowed for vehicles traveling in either direction.
📘 Question Explanation: A solid double yellow line means passing is prohibited for traffic traveling in both directions. You must stay in your lane.
💡 Broken white = safe to change lanes when clear.
14 / 15
A broken white line separating lanes means:
❌ Incorrect. Broken white lines allow lane changes when safe. Solid white lines (or yellow) restrict or prohibit crossing.
✅ Correct! A broken white line means you may change lanes anytime it is safe to do so.
📘 Question Explanation: A broken (dashed) white line separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may cross it to change lanes if it is safe.
💡 Think quiet neighborhoods, kids, pets – slow is the rule.
15 / 15
Speed limit in a residential area (unless otherwise posted) is generally:
❌ Incorrect. 25 mph is the standard residential speed limit in nearly every state when no sign is posted.
✅ Correct! The default speed limit in residential areas is 25 mph – slow down to keep neighborhoods safe.
📘 Question Explanation: In most U.S. states, the default speed limit in residential areas is 25 mph unless a sign shows a different number.
