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. Anything that requires you to ____ could cause you to crash.
Take your eyes off the road
Take your hands off the wheel
Take your attention away from the task of driving
All of the above

Anything that causes you to take your attention away from driving, take your eyes off the road, and/or take your hands off the wheel is a distraction.

2. If a green arrow turns into a solid green light, you:
May still turn, but you must yield to oncoming traffic.
May no longer turn and must proceed straight.
Still have the right-of-way to turn.
No longer have to turn in the direction that the arrow indicated.

If a green arrow turns into a solid green light, you may still turn in the direction that the arrow was pointing but you must first yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic.

3. When traveling at highway speeds on a dry road, a safe following distance is at least:
Three seconds.
Two seconds.
Four seconds.
Two car lengths.

In general, when driving on a dry highway, a four-second following distance will provide adequate time to steer or brake to avoid a hazard.

4. The maximum speed limit in this state is ____ miles per hour .
55
50
60
70

The maximum speed limit in Pennsylvania is 70 mph.

5. The effect that lack of sleep has on your safe driving ability is the same as:
The effect that alcohol has.
The effect that amphetamines have.
The effect that anger has.
The effect that driving with teenagers has.

Fatigue and being under the influence of alcohol have similar effects on your ability to drive safely. For example, being awake for 18 hours impairs your driving about as much as a blood alcohol level of 0.05 percent. Being awake for 24 hours in a row has the same effect on your driving as a blood alcohol level of 0.10 percent.

6. If you are under age 21 and are convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, you will receive a ____ license suspension for a first offense.
60-day
30-day
Six-month
One-year

If you are under age 21 and are convicted of driving under the influence, you will be subject to the penalties for the "high rate" of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), regardless of your actual BAC. These penalties include a 12-month license suspension for the first offense.

7. When driving on slick roads, you should:
Take turns more slowly than usual.
Change lanes quickly.
Accelerate quickly.
Brake hard.

While it is always dangerous to drive too fast on slippery roads, this is especially true when driving in turns and curves. Be sure to approach them more slowly in slippery conditions than you would under normal circumstances.

8. When you drive through an area where children are playing, you should expect them:
To know when it is safe to cross the street.
To stop at the curb before crossing the street.
To run out in front of you without looking.
Not to cross the street unless they are with an adult.

You should always reduce your speed and use extra caution when children are in the vicinity. They may fail to understand the danger and may run out in front of you without looking.

/data/image/dmv_image/car/pennsylvania-control_signal_green.png
You may use this lane.
No traffic is allowed in this lane.
You have the right-of-way.

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.

11. What can you do to avoid the need to make emergency stops while driving in traffic?
Honk your horn to make others aware of your presence.
Look ahead and maintain a safe following distance.
Drive in the right lane only.
Drive more slowly than the flow of traffic.

Keeping a safe following distance will enable you to react to an upcoming problem without the need for a emergency stop, which could cause a driver behind you to crash into the back of your vehicle.

Orange with black letters.
Green with white letters.
Yellow with black letters.

Enter above the speed of traffic to get ahead.
Enter slowly to avoid other vehicles.
Stop first, then slowly enter traffic.
Accelerate to the speed of traffic.

Entrance ramps for highways often have acceleration lanes. When merging with traffic from an acceleration lane, you should put your signal on, look for an opening in traffic, accelerate up to the speed of traffic, and merge into an opening in traffic.

14. If you are driving near a motorcycle, you must:
Allow the motorcycle to use a complete lane.
Drive on the shoulder beside the motorcycle.
Allow the motorcycle to use only half of a lane.
Pass using the same lane as the motorcycle.

A motorcycle is a full-size vehicle with the same privileges as any other vehicle on the roadway. You should allow a motorcyclist a full lane width. Although it may seem as though there is enough room in the traffic lane for a larger vehicle and a motorcycle, remember that the motorcycle needs room to maneuver safely.

15. This sign means:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/pennsylvania-no_turn.png

Allow the steering wheel to move freely.
Let the car slow to a stop.
Continue driving until you reach a garage.
Brake hard to stop the car immediately.

If one of your tires blows out, you should hold the steering wheel tightly, stay off of the brakes, slowly take your foot off of the gas pedal, and steer smoothly in the direction you want to go. Get to a safe spot where you can pull over to change the tire and let your vehicle slow to a stop.

17. Drivers who eat and drink while driving:
Make no driving errors.
Have trouble driving slowly.
Are better drivers because they are not hungry.
Have trouble controlling their vehicles.

Choosing to eat, drink, or smoke while driving is dangerous because these actions require a driver to remove their hands from the wheel and their eyes from the road. Drivers who engage in distracting activities while driving have trouble staying in their lanes and controlling their vehicles.

Are driving on the opposite side of a divided highway.
Are behind the bus.
See no children present.
