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. When driving in traffic, it is safest to:

Fluctuate your speed to keep alert.

Drive faster than the flow of traffic.

Drive slower than the flow of traffic.

Drive with the flow of traffic.

Crashes often happen when some drivers go faster or slower than other vehicles on the road. Always try to drive with the flow of traffic, within the posted speed limit.

2. Highway pavement will be particularly treacherous and most slippery:

If it has been raining several hours.

If it has just begun to rain.

If it has been raining for one to two hours.

Pavement is particularly treacherous when it first begins to rain. Accumulations of dirt and oil mix with the rainwater, creating a greasy film on the roadway.

3. You come to an intersection displaying a flashing red light. You should:

Come to a full stop and go when it is safe to do so.

Stop only if other cars are also approaching the intersection.

Stop only if other cars are already within the intersection.

Slow down and be prepared to stop, if necessary.

A flashing red traffic light has the same meaning as a stop sign. You must stop, yield the right-of-way, and go once it is safe.

4. Many crashes are caused by:

Drivers traveling too fast for conditions.

Drivers consistently checking their mirrors and blind spots.

Drivers yielding the right-of-way.

Drivers maintaining a four-second following distance.

Many crashes are caused by drivers who are driving too fast for conditions. Always drive within the legal speed limits and decrease your speed any time conditions are less than perfect.

5. If your car's suspension is bad, it can cause:

Vehicle control problems.

Squealing brakes.

Slack in the steering.

Your suspension helps you control your vehicle and provides a comfortable ride over varying road surfaces. If your vehicle bounces a lot after driving over a bump, or is generally hard to control, you may need new suspension parts.

6. This road sign means:

/data/image/dmv_image/car/arkansas-traffic_lane_ends.png

Road widens ahead.

Lane reduction; the right lane ends soon.

Highway entrance ramp ahead.

Lane reduction; the left lane ends soon.

This sign indicate that the right lane ends ahead.

7. If you drink alcohol socially, what helps ensure safe driving?

Drink coffee before driving.

Ride home with a friend who has not been drinking.

Take a cold shower before driving.

Stop drinking one half hour before driving.

One strategy to avoid driving while impaired or intoxicated is to arrange for a ride home with a friend who does not drink. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower cannot reduce your blood alcohol content or reduce the effects of alcohol. On average, it takes about an hour for the body to eliminate the alcohol from a single drink.

8. This sign means:

/data/image/dmv_image/car/new-york-two_way_traffic.png

Four-lane traffic ahead.

Divided highway ahead.

Two-way traffic ahead.

Intersection ahead.

This sign warns of two-way traffic ahead.

9. When you see other drivers around you acting or reacting in anger:

Don’t make eye contact.

Don't react with hand gestures.

Distance yourself from the situation.

All of these.

When other drivers are behaving angrily, you should take action to physically and mentally distance yourself from the situation. Avoid making eye contact with them, or making body movements or gestures that could provoke them. Slow down, move over, or do whatever you safely can to put yourself out of danger.

10. A person who drives much slower than the speed limit:

Is a very safe driver.

Always has the right-of-way.

Should not let following cars pass.

May create a dangerous driving environment.

Driving more slowly than the flow of traffic can be hazardous. If you are on a two-lane, two-way road and driving so slowly that traffic is backing up behind you, you are required to pull off the road and let the other vehicles pass. Only drive significantly under the speed limit when conditions require it.

11. This sign means:

Trucks under 18,000 lbs. allowed.

Hill ahead.

Truck stop ahead.

No trucks allowed.

This sign warns that there is a steep hill ahead.

12. What are the colors of signs that tell you the distance to the next exit on a highway?

Yellow with black letters

Black with white letters

Red with white letters

Green with white letters

Signs providing information about destinations are green with white letters or symbols.

13. You are driving in the middle lane on a three-lane expressway. A car begins to pass you on the right. The actions of that driver are:

Wrong because “pass to the left” is a firm rule.

Wrong because they are passing you in your blind spot.

Fine, as long as it is done on a limited-access highway.

Fine, as long as no signs forbid passing on the right.

On a two-way road with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction, it is permitted to pass on the right as long as doing so is not prohibited by signs or restricted by parked cars or other obstructions.

14. How many alcoholic drinks does it take to affect your driving ability?

Three

Two

One

It is not advisable to drive after drinking any amount of alcohol. Even a single drink will affect your ability to drive safely.

15. You are driving along a street and hear a siren. You cannot immediately see the emergency vehicle. You should:

Keep driving until you see the vehicle.

Pull to the curb and look to see if it is on your street.

Slow down. Don't stop until you see it.

Speed up and turn at the next intersection.

If you hear a siren or an air horn close by but do not know exactly where the emergency vehicle is, safely pull over to the right side of the road and stop until you are sure it is not headed toward you.

16. To avoid glare from the headlights of an approaching car:

Look briefly toward the right side of the road.

Stay focused on the centerline on the road.

Flash your high beams.

You should avoid looking toward the bright lights of an oncoming vehicle by glancing toward the right side of the road. After looking briefly toward the side of the road, continue looking ahead to check on the position of the other vehicle.

17. At a red traffic light with a green arrow, you may proceed in the direction of the arrow if:

You first come to a complete stop.

You wait until the light changes.

You are in the proper lane and the roadway is clear.

If you are in a lane corresponding to a signal displaying a green arrow, you may proceed in the direction of the arrow when the way is clear. This is true whether the arrow is displayed alone or together with another signal.

18. If you are parked parallel to the curb, you may get out of the car on the traffic side only:

During the daytime when other drivers can see you.

When the traffic light at the closest intersection turns red.

When you won't interfere with oncoming vehicles.

If you use your four-way flashers first.

After parallel parking, you must not open your door if it will interfere with bicyclists or other traffic. Check for traffic before exiting your vehicle.

19. Roads with double solid yellow line markings down the center indicate that passing is:

Allowed from both directions.

Allowed only from your direction of travel.

Not allowed from either direction.

A double solid yellow line down the center of a road indicates that traffic is moving in opposite directions and that passing is not allowed from either direction.

20. On a road which has no sidewalks, a pedestrian should walk on the:

Side of the road which has the lightest traffic.

Same side of the road on which traffic is moving.

Side of the road facing oncoming traffic.

Side of the road which has the heaviest traffic.
