Washington CAR DMV Practice Test 3

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

Large vehicles can cause wind gusts with a force great enough to cause direction changes in smaller vehicles. Drivers of small vehicles should be prepared to take proper corrective steering action when approaching or passing large vehicles that are moving at or near maximum speeds.

A shared center lane may not be used for passing or for travel of farther than 300 feet. Drivers should use these lanes to safely turn left from a multilane roadway.

If involved in a collision with a parked vehicle, you must try to locate the owner. If you cannot find the owner, leave a note in a visible place with information on how the owner can reach you and the date and time of the collision.

A green arrow means that you can safely turn in the direction of the arrow. If other vehicles or pedestrians are already in the intersection, you must yield the right-of-way before turning.

At intersections that are controlled by signs or signals and at intersections that are uncontrolled, the driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right when two vehicles arrive to the intersection at the same time.

When you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle, you must pull over to the curb or side of the road and stop.

If you are arrested for driving while impaired for the first time in seven years, your license will be suspended for 90 days. If it is your first arrest and you refuse to take a breath test, your license will be revoked for one year.

A steady yellow arrow indicates that a red arrow is about to appear. Stop unless you are already within the intersection.

This sign warns drivers that the divided highway ends ahead.

A solid line along the side of the road indicates where its edge is, marking the boundary between the travel lane and the shoulder. If the edge line angles toward the center of the road, this means that the road is narrower ahead.

When driving on wet roads, drivers should increase their following distance.

If you are entering traffic from a driveway or private road, you should yield to drivers already on the public road. Merge safely into traffic when you are able to do so.

You should not stop in a travel lane for any reason. Instead, keep moving until you can safely pull off of the road. If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up. Go to the next turn or exit or where you can safely turn around.

You should always turn from the lane that is closest to the direction you want to go. Turn into the lane closest to your previous lane.

Pavement can become very slippery within the first 10 to 15 minutes of a rainstorm because the rain causes oil in the asphalt to rise to the surface of the road. This problem becomes even worse in hot weather. The heat combined with the water causes more oil to rise to the road surface.

The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react to mistakes made by other drivers is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you.

This sign warns of the presence of a crossroad ahead.

You should use low beam headlights when driving in fog, rain, or snow.

Regulation signs regulate traffic speed and movement, displaying rules which drivers must obey. This regulation sign means that right turns are prohibited.

Lane usage for the motorcyclist is critical. Motorcycles are entitled to the same full lane width as all other vehicles.

Your blood alcohol content (BAC) depends on how much alcohol you drink, how much time passes between drinks, and your weight. Eating before or while you drink helps slow the absorption of alcohol somewhat, but it cannot prevent intoxication or impairment if you have too much to drink.

A stop sign means that you must come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians in or heading toward the intersection. Go again when it is safe.

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 warns of the presence of a hill ahead.
