Permit test

When an emergency vehicle approaches using its emergency lights

pull over to the right edge of the road or as near right as possible.

If an emergency vehicle approaches while you are already in an intersection

clear the intersection first, then pull over.

A stopped school bus with flashing red lights requires

a complete stop

all railroad crossings.

Moving traffic violations committed in a work zone while workers are present carry

double fines

In a work zone, follow the flagger's directions even when

 they conflict with other traffic signals or devices.

A stop sign always requires a

complete stop

Unless prohibited by a sign, you may turn right on red

 only after making a complete stop

 A dashed white line means

you may change lanes when it is safe

White lane lines separate traffic moving in the

same direction.

Yellow lines markings separate traffic moving in

Different directions

A broken yellow line allows passing when

the opposing lane is clear and passing is safe.

Double solid yellow lines mean no passing in

either direction

The solid white line marking the outer edge of the roadway is

the fog line.

A shared center lane is for

 left turns only, no passing or accelerating into traffic

On roads with three or more lanes moving in the same direction

stay in the right lane except when passing.

On a multilane road, use the

leftmost lane to pass slower vehicles

Never use the shoulder to

pass another vehicle

At an uncontrolled intersection

yield to vehicles approaching from your right.

At an all-way stop( also known as a 4 way stop) ,the driver who reaches the intersection

first goes first after stopping

When turning left

yield to oncoming traffic traveling straight ahead

When entering a traffic circle or rotary

visual, manual and cognitive

A visual distraction

At 55 mph, looking away for 5 seconds is approximately like driving

the length of a football field with your eyes closed

Before changing lanes check

your rearview mirror, side mirrors and look over your shoulder for the blind spot

When backing out

In city driving, look ahead at least

 one city block.

one-quarter mile

In general scan the road at least

15 seconds ahead

If conditions require you to use your windshield wipers

turn on your headlights

Turn on your headlights whenever you cannot clearly see a person or object

500 feet ahead

Dim your high beams when you are within

500 feet of an oncoming vehicle

When following another vehicle within 200 feet

use low beams

 In fog, snow or heavy rain use

low-beam headlights

It is illegal to drive using only

parking lights

Signal your turn at least

100 feet before turning

Slow down before entering a curve because

braking after entering the curve can cause a skid

If rain or fog limits visibility to 200 feet or less

 do not drive faster than 30 mph.

At 40 mph, total stopping distance can be about

124 feet.

At 55 mph, an average passenger car may need about

225 feet to stop

Under normal conditions maintain at least a

two-second following distance

 In poor weather or limited visibility

increase your following distance to four seconds

When another driver is passing you, do not speed up instead

slow down enough to give them room to safely merge back in

A fully loaded tractor-trailer traveling at 55 mph can take more than

335 feet to stop

Why would a large truck swing left before making a right turn

Its rear wheels follow a shorter path than its front wheels

A tractor-trailer's rear blind spot can extend up to approximately

200 feet behind it

A tractor-trailer's front blind spot can hide a vehicle for up to approximately

20 feet

Before making a right turn near a bicycle

 merge with bicycle traffic

When attempting to pass a bicyclist during oncoming traffic

Wait for the oncoming traffic to pass before overtaking the bicycle
