Vermont CAR DMV Practice Test 2

This sign indicates that the overpass ahead has a low clearance. You should not proceed if your vehicle is taller than the height shown on the sign (in this case, 13 feet 6 inches).

This sign indicates that the road ahead curves to the right.

This sign indicates that there is a Y intersection ahead. You must bear either to the right or to the left.

Unless posted otherwise, a right turn on a red traffic light is generally allowed. Before turning, you must come to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk. Yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians before making the turn.

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.

A steady downward green arrow over a traffic lane means you may use the lane indicated.

When turning left at a traffic signal, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and oncoming traffic.

Yellow lines tell you that the traffic on the other side of the lines is moving in the opposite direction. You should never cross two solid yellow lines to pass from either direction.

This advisory speed sign indicates the maximum safe speed for a highway exit (in this example, 30 mph).

Warning signs advise drivers of potentially hazardous conditions. For your own safety, obey warning signs. Disregarding the information provided by a warning sign may result in an accident due to your negligence.

You should increase your following distance when you are behind a large vehicle that blocks your vision, when driving in bad weather or heavy traffic, when exiting an expressway, when behind a motorcycle or bicycle, and if someone is tailgating you.

When turning left, drivers must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic. Drivers must also always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers who are already in the intersection.

Double solid yellow lines in the center of the road mean that passing is not allowed from either direction. You may not cross the lines unless you are making a left turn or passing pedestrians, bicyclists, and riders of scooters or skateboards when the opposite lane is clear and you can pass safely.

Be very cautious any time you encounter an animal on the roadway. Pass the animal slowly to avoid startling or frightening it.

A flashing red traffic light means the same thing as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, yield to cross traffic and pedestrians, and then proceed when the way is clear.

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign tells drivers that they may encounter traffic coming from the opposite direction.

Any defect that may affect the safe operation of a vehicle should be corrected as soon as possible. Defects should be corrected before the vehicle is driven.

When using a freeway exit ramp, do not slow down until you move onto the exit ramp.

Because it is dark, drivers cannot see as well at night as they can during the day. From one half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise, or at any other time when persons or vehicles are not visible for 500 feet, drivers must use their headlights.

In more than 70 percent of fatal crashes involving both a passenger vehicle and a truck, it was the driver of the passenger vehicle, not the truck driver, who caused the crash. Allow a cushion of space when driving near a large truck.
