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 at high speeds, always allow enough room to safely stop in emergencies by staying at least:
One second behind the vehicle in front of you.
Four seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.
Two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.
Ten seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.

If you are driving at a speed of 30 mph or slower, a following time of two or three seconds may be enough to stop safely in the case of an emergency. However, at higher speeds, it is best to maintain a four-second following time.

2. Generally, how many alcoholic drinks will the human body get rid of each hour?
Half a drink.
One drink.
Two drinks.
Three drinks.

It takes about one hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in a single drink.

3. If you see side-by-side red lights flashing at a railroad crossing, you must:
Signal before going any further.
Maintain your speed and cross the railroad.
Slow down.
Stop.

If a railroad crossing has side-by-side red lights that are flashing, you must stop.

4. Always signal when:
Changing lanes.
Pulling into or out of a parking space.
Pulling into traffic from a parking area or alley.
All of the above.

Your turn signals should always be used when you make any movement to the left or right. You should use your signal when pulling into traffic from a curbside parking space, moving into a new lane, or passing another vehicle.

5. If you stop along the road at night:
Turn off all your lights.
Use your parking lights only.
Use your headlights only.
Turn on your emergency flashers and leave your low beams turned on.

If you stop along the road at night, turn on your emergency flashers and leave your low beam headlights turned on. Be sure that other road users will be able to clearly see your vehicle.

6. When you approach a railroad crossing without flashing warning signals or crossing gates, you should:
Cross the tracks immediately and as quickly as possible.
Always stop before crossing the tracks.
Prepare to yield to any train at the crossing.
Speed up to beat any oncoming train.

Always be prepared to yield to any oncoming trains before crossing railroad tracks, particularly if there are no lights or gates controlling the crossing. Never start to cross the tracks until there is room for your entire vehicle on the other side of the tracks. Due to the risk of a vehicle stalling, it is not wise to shift gears when crossing railroad tracks.

7. If an officer is directing traffic at a working traffic light, drivers should:
Follow the directions indicated by the traffic light.
Follow the directions given by the officer.
Honk at the officer.
Check to see what the cars next to them are doing.

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.

8. In Washington State, an adult above the age of 21 is legally drunk when their blood alcohol content (BAC) is:
At or above 0.01 percent.
At or above 0.08 percent.
At or above 0.04 percent.
At or above 0.02 percent.

You can be arrested for driving with a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher. However, if you are under the legal drinking age of 21, you can be arrested for driving with a BAC of 0.02 percent or higher.

9. To change lanes you should:
Check your mirrors and signal, then change lanes.
Signal, check your mirrors, check your blind spot in the direction you plan to move, then change lanes.
Signal, check your mirrors, and change lanes.
Signal and change lanes.

Before changing lanes, you should activate your turn signal in the appropriate direction and check your rearview and side mirrors. Look over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move in order to check your blind spot and check the far lane to be sure no one else is trying to enter the same lane as you. Change lanes when you are sure it is safe to do so.

10. Larger vehicles have:
Larger blind spots.
Smaller blind spots.
No blind spots.
The same blind spots as smaller vehicles.

The larger the vehicle, the larger the blind spots. Large trucks and SUVs have spots close to their rears that cannot be seen in their side or rearview mirrors.

11. You want to turn left at an intersection. The light is green but oncoming traffic is heavy. You should:
Use the next intersection.
Wait at the crosswalk for traffic to clear.
Wait in the center of the intersection for traffic to clear.
Take the right-of-way since you have a green light.

When making a left turn where there is approaching traffic, you must wait for the approaching traffic to go through before you turn. You may enter the intersection to prepare for your left turn if the light is green and no other vehicle ahead of you plans to make a left turn.

12. You must stop at an intersection when you see a:
Flashing red light.
Steady yellow light.
Yellow arrow.
Flashing yellow light.

A flashing red traffic signal has the same meaning as a stop sign. At an intersection with a flashing red light, you must come to a complete stop, look both ways, and proceed only after the intersection is clear.

13. If you see this sign, you:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/hawaii-do_not_pass.png
Must not pass another vehicle.
May pass a slow-moving vehicle if you can do so quickly.
May pass if you know the road ahead.
May pass, but only at night.

Regulatory signs are white, rectangular signs with black markings. Drivers must obey the instructions posted on all regulatory signs. Where this sign is posted, it is prohibited for drivers to pass one another.

14. Signaling your intentions before turning, changing lanes, or driving away from a curb:
Is necessary only if other traffic is present.
Is a good driving habit and is required by law.
Is necessary only during the maneuver, not before.
Is not necessary if the maneuver is done slowly.

When changing lanes or turning, signal your intentions well in advance. The law requires that you signal for at least 100 feet before you move your vehicle to the right or left. Before pulling away from a curb, always signal to inform passing drivers of your intentions.

15. When driving in rain, you must:
Use low beam headlights.
Use high beam headlights.
Use parking lights.
Use no lights.

In rainy conditions, you should use your low beam headlights.

16. A traffic signal showing a steady red light means:
Stop. Don’t travel straight ahead while the light is red.
Stop, look for danger, and then cross the intersection.
Slow down and yield to other traffic.
Quickly drive through the intersection.

A steady red traffic light means drivers must come to a complete stop. You must wait until the traffic light turns green and there is no crossing traffic before you move ahead.

17. This sign means:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/indiana-merging_traffic.png
Merging traffic.
Multiple turns.
Lane shifting.
Do not block intersection.

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign alerts drivers to potential traffic merging from the right. Drivers should prepare to allow the traffic to merge safely.

18. You must pull over to the edge of the road and allow an emergency vehicle to pass:
Regardless of your direction.
Only if it is following you.
Only if it is approaching you from the opposite direction.
None of the above.

You must pull over to the right edge of the road and stop for an emergency vehicle with flashing lights, regardless of whether it is approaching you from behind or from the opposite direction.

19. Which is not a factor in determining the distance that it takes to stop your vehicle?
Steering ability
Braking distance
Reaction distance
Perception time

The distance required to stop your vehicle depends on perception time, reaction distance, and braking distance. This changes with speed and road conditions.

20. From top to bottom, the following is the proper order for traffic lights:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/pennsylvania-traffic_signal_ahead_blank.png
Red, yellow, green.
Red, green, yellow.
Green, red, yellow.
Green, yellow, red.

On a traffic signal arranged vertically, red is always on top and green on the bottom. When arranged horizontally, red is always on the left and green on the right.

21. This sign is a:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/washington-warning.png
Service sign.
Regulatory sign.
Warning sign.
Stop sign.

Warning signs are usually diamond-shaped and yellow with black lettering or symbols. They warn drivers about special situations or potential hazards ahead.

22. This sign means:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/washington-curve_left_35_mph_or_less_recommended.png
There is a 35 mph speed zone after the curve ahead.
Drive no less than 35 mph around the curve ahead.
Curve ahead, speeds of 35 mph or slower are recommended.
Stay in the right-hand lane if not driving over 35 mph.

This sign indicates that the road curves ahead in the direction of the arrow and that driving at the indicated speed of 35 mph is recommended.

23. When you park uphill on a street with a curb:
Keep the front wheel straight and set the parking brake.
Turn the front wheels away from the curb.
Turn the front wheels toward the curb.
Turn the back wheels into the curb.

When parking on an incline where there is a curb, you should turn your wheels sharply to the left, away from the curb. This way, if your brakes fail, your vehicle will not roll into traffic.

24. 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.

25. This road sign means:
/data/image/dmv_image/car/Idaho-crossroad.png
Increase your speed.
Railroad crossing ahead.
Intersection ahead.
Four-way stop ahead.

This sign means that you are approaching an upcoming intersection. Watch carefully for cross traffic.
