Not enough to pass :-(

Ouch! While you were on a roll there for a few questions, you didn’t pass this time. But I know this test, and I think you’ll pass next time. Really.

1. If a tire suddenly blows out while you are driving, you should:
Grip the steering wheel firmly, slow down, and exit the traffic lane.
Pump the brakes rapidly.
Brake hard and steer toward the right edge of the roadway.

If you experience a sudden tire blowout, do not panic. Grasp the steering wheel firmly and take your foot off the accelerator to allow the vehicle to roll to a stop. Lightly apply the breaks when it is safe to do so. Do not move to the shoulder of the road until the car has slowed considerably.

2. You must not drive your vehicle at a speed greater than:
The maximum speed limit.
A speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent.
A speed that is safe for existing conditions.
All of the above.

You must not drive at a speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent. You must drive at a speed that is appropriate for the area where you are driving, the type and condition of surrounding traffic, the presence of pedestrians, the weather, the quality of the road, and light conditions. You must drive within legal speed limits.

3. A traffic light displaying a green arrow and a red light means that:
You may only drive straight ahead.
You may drive only in the direction of the green arrow.
You must wait for a solid green light to proceed in any direction.
Vehicles moving in any direction must stop.

If a green arrow is shown with a red light, you can only drive in the direction of the arrow and only if the intersection is clear.

4. Bicyclists differ from motorists in that they aren't required to:
Obey the same traffic laws.
Signal all turns.
Report accidents resulting in serious injury.
Insure the bicycle.

Bicyclists are required to obey the same rules of the road as motor vehicle drivers. Any bicycle crash that causes death or serious injury must be reported to the DMV within 10 days of the incident.

5. You are making a left turn from a two-way street onto a one-way street. When you have completed the turn, your car should be:
In the right lane of the street.
In the center of the street.
In the left lane of the street.
In the lane with the least traffic.

If you are turning left from a two-way street onto a one-way street, you should complete the turn into the lane closest to the lane you have just left.

6. This sign means:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/new-york-no_left_turn.png
All traffic must turn left.
No left turn.
No U-turn.
Truck route to the left.

This sign indicates that left turns are prohibited.

7. In general, you should pass vehicles that are traveling in the same direction as you:
On their right.
On their left.
Only if the other driver signals that it is safe.
Whenever you have the opportunity to do so.

In general, the left lane is used for passing. Only pass when it is safe and legal to do so.

8. A “No stopping” sign means that, unless directed to do so by a police officer, you may stop only:
Long enough to unload packages.
To avoid conflict with other traffic.
To discharge passengers.
For less than five minutes.

A "No stopping" sign means you can only stop to obey a traffic signal, to obey a police officer, or to prevent a conflict with another vehicle.

9. A driver who is taking a non-prescription drug should:
Read the labels on the drug before driving.
Drink alcohol instead.
Continue to drive regardless of any warning labels.
Drive only during daylight hours.

Many over-the-counter medications can affect your ability to drive safely. If you take medication, even a remedy for colds or allergies that is not prescribed, check the label for warnings about its effects. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist about driving while on the medication.

10. When you see a flashing yellow light at an intersection, you should:
Yield to all traffic before crossing the intersection.
Stop, then enter the intersection when it is safe to do so.
Slow down and cross the intersection carefully.

A flashing yellow light at an intersection indicates that drivers should slow to a safe and reasonable speed and proceed with caution.

11. If traffic prevents you from crossing all the way across a set of railroad tracks, you may proceed only when:
An approaching train is not moving fast enough to be a danger.
There is room for your entire vehicle on the other side.
At least one-half of your vehicle can cross the tracks.
No trains are in sight.

You must not, under any circumstances, attempt to cross railroad tracks unless you are certain that your entire vehicle will clear all of the tracks. If other traffic prevents you from going fully across, wait and cross only when there is room.

12. On a green arrow, you must:
Yield to any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian in the intersection.
Yield to pedestrians only in the intersection.
Wait four seconds before proceeding.

A green arrow means "go." You must turn in the direction the arrow is pointing after you yield to any vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians who are still in the intersection.

13. This sign is used to prevent:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/new-york-one_way_traffic_do_not_enter.png
Entrance to full parking lots.
Entrance to road construction areas.
Entrance to dead-end streets.
Entrances from the wrong direction on one-way streets and expressway ramps.

This sign warns that a road has one-way traffic and you must not enter from your current direction.

14. When driving behind another vehicle at night, you should:
Keep your headlights on the low beam setting.
Use your high beam headlights until you are within 10 feet of the vehicle ahead.
Use your high beam headlights.

Use high beam headlights only when driving in rural areas and when other cars are not nearby. Lower your headlights to their low beam setting when you are following closely behind another driver.

15. In which of the following situations is passing always forbidden?
The vehicle ahead is making a left turn.
You are on a one-way street which has two lanes.
The vehicle ahead is stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
The vehicle ahead is going to park parallel to the curb.

You must never pass a vehicle that has stopped at a crosswalk to allow a pedestrian to go across.

16. A motorist approaching a bicyclist should:
Speed up to pass them.
Proceed as usual.
Swerve into the opposite lane.
Exercise extreme caution.

Drivers should reduce their speed as they pass bicyclists, as air movement from a passing vehicle can easily affect a bicyclist's balance.

17. This sign means:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/illinois-merging_lanes.png
Merge.
Winding road ahead.
Reserved parking for persons with disabilities.

This sign warns that two lanes of traffic going the same direction will soon merge into one lane.

18. If you have an argument with another person and you are angry, you should:
Loudly play the radio while driving so you won’t think about your argument.
Take a few minutes to cool off before driving.
Drive on the interstate to let off steam.

Your emotions affect your ability to drive safely. If you are overly angry, excited, afraid, worried, or depressed, you should give yourself time to calm down before operating a vehicle. You need to be able to mentally focus on driving without thinking about the things that made you upset.

19. When approaching a steady yellow traffic light, drivers should:
Accelerate to avoid a red light.
Continue driving, as they have the right-of-way.
Slow to a stop, unless they are already within the intersection.
Check to see what the cars next to them are doing.

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that a red light is about to appear. Stop unless you are already within the intersection.

20. If you are facing a green traffic light but the intersection ahead is blocked by traffic, you should:
Turn left and find another route.
Stay out of the intersection until traffic clears.
Follow the other vehicles and enter the intersection.

Even if you are facing a green traffic light, do not start across the intersection if there are other vehicles blocking your way. If you are caught in the intersection when the light changes to red, your vehicle will block cross traffic. You can get a ticket for blocking an intersection.
