Question 11

A vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you, creating a hazard. What should you do first?

a) Honk and step on the brake firmly.
b) Take your foot off the gas pedal.
c) Swerve into the lane next to you.

Answer 11

b, If a vehicle merges in front of you too closely, take your foot off of the accelerator. This will create space
between you and the vehicle ahead without requiring you to slam on your brakes or swerve into another
lane

Question 12

When parking your vehicle on any hill:
a) One of your rear wheels should touch the curb.
b) Use your parking brake and leave the
vehicle in “park.”
c) Your front wheels should be parallel to the road, if there is no curb.

b, When parking on a hill, you should always leave your vehicle in gear or in the “park” position. If there is no
curb, you should turn your front wheels so that the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail. If there is a curb, the front wheels should
be turned toward it (if headed downhill) or away from and gently touching it (if headed uphill).

Question 13

When driving at night on a dimly lit street, you should:
a) Drive slowly enough that you can stop
within the area illuminated by your
headlights.
b) Turn on your high beam headlights to
better see the vehicles ahead of you.
c) Keep the instrument panel lights bright to be more visible to other drivers.

Question 15

The speed limit at an uncontrolled railroad crossing is:

a) 25 mph.
b) 15 mph.
c) 20 mph.

Answer 15

b, When you are within 100 feet of an uncontrolled railroad crossing where you cannot see the tracks for 400 feet in both directions, the speed limit is 15 mph.

Question 16

Increase your following distance when driving behind a large vehicle:
a) To better see around the sides of the
vehicle.
b) Because other drivers tend to pull behind large vehicles before trying to pass them
c) Because following too closely will get you
caught in the vehicle’s slipstream.

Answer 16

a, Drivers of trucks, buses, vans, and any vehicles pulling campers or trailers may not be able to see you it you are driving directly behind them. Increase your
following distance when driving behind one of these vehicles. Additionally, large vehicles can block your view of the road, so increase your following distance
to look around the sides of the vehicle and see the road ahead.

Question 17

To avoid hydroplaning while driving in rainy conditions, you should:
a) Drive at a speed appropriate for ideal
conditions.
b) Apply your brakes as soon as your car
starts to skid.
c) Slow down.

Answer 17

c, When driving too quickly in wet conditions, your tires may lose all contact with the road surface. Loss of
traction will cause the vehicle to ride on top of the water, which is called “hydroplaning.” The best way to
prevent this from happening is to drive more slowly in rainy or wet conditions than you would when driving during ideal weather conditions

Question 18

If you parallel park facing downward on a hill:

a) Turn your wheels sharply toward the side of the road.
b) Turn your wheels away from the side of the road.
c) Keep your wheels straight.

a) May complete its turn in either of the two lanes.
b) May have to swing wide to complete the right turn.
c) Must stay in the right lane at all times while turning.

Answer 19

b, When a vehicle makes a turn, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the
vehicle, the bigger the difference between the paths of the front and rear wheels. Therefore, long trucks often
have to swing wide to complete a right turn.

Question 20

If you are driving on a highway next to a single broken white line marking:
a) You cannot cross the line to pass.
b) You may cross the line to pass and change lanes.
c) You may only cross the line to change
