Pennsylvania CAR DMV Practice Test 10

Traffic signals are placed at intersections to keep traffic moving and to help prevent crashes. Drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists must obey these signals, except in instances when an officer is directing traffic.

If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you, flash your high beams quickly a few times. If the driver does not dim their lights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights.

If you are going to brake where other drivers may not expect it, quickly tap your brake pedal three or four times.

This triangular sign is a "Yield" sign. When you see this sign, you must slow down to check for traffic and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and approaching cross traffic. Stop only if it is necessary to do so.

This sign indicates that the right lane on a multilane roadway ends ahead. Traffic in the right lane must merge left.

When a truck passes your vehicle, you will make it easier and safer for the truck driver if you reduce your speed slightly and then keep your reduced speed steady. In any event, do not increase your speed while the truck is passing you.

Be prepared to reduce your speed and use caution when directed to do so by a sign, crossing guard, or law enforcement officer. Always drive with extra caution in a school zone.

No amount of alcohol is safe to drink before driving. Even with a blood alcohol level of 0.04 percent, which is below the legal limit for people age 21 and older, you are two to seven times more likely to be involved in a crash than a person with no alcohol in their blood.

To turn left from multilane streets and highways, start from the left lane.

When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.

This sign indicates that the road ahead becomes a divided highway. Keep to the right of the divider or median.

A steady yellow light indicates that a steady red light will soon appear. If you are driving toward an intersection and a yellow light appears, slow down and prepare to stop. If you are already within the intersection or cannot stop safely before entering the intersection, continue through carefully.

In the absence of signs, signals, or police instructions, drivers turning left at an intersection must yield to vehicles going straight.

When a school bus is flashing its red lights and has its stop arm extended, you are required to stop at least 10 feet away from the bus, unless the bus is stopped on the opposite side of a divided highway.

When looking for a gap while driving on a highway entrance ramp, look over your shoulder and check your mirrors.

Unless a posted sign prohibits turning right on red, you may turn right at a steady red light. You must first come to a complete stop and yield to pedestrians and other traffic.

This sign indicates that a school crossing is ahead.

This sign indicates that there is a traffic signal at the intersection ahead.
