California Driving Test Theory

It is illegal for a eprson 21 years of age or older to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) that is _________ or higher

0.08% — Eight hundredths of one percent

Califonias’s “Basic Speed Law “ says you must:

Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions

The "Basic Speed Law" states that you may never drive faster than is safe for current

conditions. For example, if you drive at 45 mph in a 55 mph zone during a dense fog,

even though you are below the posted limit, you may be cited for driving "too fast for conditions.

Driving under the influence of any medication which impairs your driving is permitted:

Under no circumstances

It is illegal to drive under the influence of any substance that impairs your ability to drive

safely. This includes alcohol, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications,

and illegal drugs.

You may drive a motor vehicle in a bike lane

No more than 200 feet before making a right turn

If making a right turn, you may enter the bicycle lane no more than 200 feet before the

corner or driveway. Drivers of motor vehicles should not enter a bicycle lane at any other

time

If you cell phone rings while you are driving and you do not have a hands-free device, you should:

Let the call go to voicemail

Drivers should not use a cell phone without a hands-free device. For minors, it is illegal

to use any cell phone while driving, except in an emergency. Even if you do have a

hands-free device, it is recommended that you let calls go to voicemail while driving in

order to avoid distractions.

A solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line means that vehicles:

Next to the broken line may pass

Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. A broken yellow line

next to your driving lane means that you may pass.

You want to park uphill on a two way road and there is no curb. Which direction do you turn your front wheels?

Right, toward the side of the road

When parking either uphill or downhill on a road that has no curb, you should turn your

wheels so that the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail.

You are involved in a minor collision at an intersection. there are no injuries and there is very little vehicle damage. You should:

Move your vehicle out the traffic lane, if possible

After a collision, if no one has been injured or killed and you can safely do so, you should

move your vehicle out of the traffic lane.

Smoking inside a vehicle with a person younger than 18 years of age is

Illegal

If there is no crosswalk and you see a pedestrian crossing your lane, you should

Stop and let the pedestrian finish crossing.

Drivers must always yield the right of way to pedestrians in the roadway, even if there is a not a marked crosswalk

You are driving on the freeway behind a large truck. You should drive

Farther behind the truck than you would if following a passenger vehicle

It is necessary to follow farther behind a large truck than you would if following a

passenger vehicle because trucks have larger blind spots.

You must yield to a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog

At all times

Pedestrians who use guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given

the right-of-way at all times

To see vehicles in your blind spots, you should check:

Over your shoulders

By definition, blind spots are areas that cannot be seen using your mirrors. To check

your blind spots, you should look over your shoulders.

You are on the freeway and traffic is merging into your lane. You should:

Make room for the merging traffic, if possible

When traffic permits, you should make room to allow vehicles to merge into your lane.

If a traffic signal light is not working, you must,

Stop, then proceed when safe

If a traffic signal is not working and no lights are showing, you should proceed cautiously

as if the intersection is controlled by stop signs in all directions

Extra space in front of a large truck is needed for

The truck driver to stop the vehicle

Because they are larger, trucks take longer to stop than cars traveling at the same

speed. Other drivers should not pull in front of a truck and then slow down or stop.

When passing another vehicle, it is safe to return to your lane if you

See the vehicle headlights in your rearview mirror

Before returning to your original lane after passing, you must make sure you are not

dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. When you can see both of the

vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to the

lane.

You consent to take a chemical test for the alcohol content of your blood, breath or urine

Whenever you drive in California

By driving in California, you consent to have your breath, blood, or urine tested if you are

arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs

When driving at night on a dimly lit street, you should:

Drive slowly enough that you can stop within the area illuminated by your

headlights

You should drive more slowly at night than during the day because it is not possible to

see as far ahead at night. You should make sure that you can stop within the area

illuminated by your headlights.

You may drive off of the paved roadway to pass another vehicle:

under no circumstances

You may never drive off the paved or main-traveled portion of the road and onto the

shoulder to pass another vehicle

You are approaching a railroad crossing with no warning devices and are unable to see 400

feet down the tracks in one direction. The speed limit is

15mph

Within 100 feet of a railroad crossing where you cannot see 400 feet down the tracks in

both directions, the speed limit is 15 mph. However, you may drive faster if the crossing

is controlled by gates, a warning signal, or a flagger

When parking your vehicle parallel to the curb on a level street:

Your wheels must be within 18 inches of the curb

When parking alongside the curb on a level street, the front and back wheels of your

vehicle must be parallel with and within 18 inches of the curb

When you are merging onto the freeway, you should be driving:

At or near the speed of traffic on the freeway

When merging onto a freeway, you should enter at or near the speed of traffic.

To avoid last-minute moves, you should be looking down the road to where your vehicle will

be in about:

10 to 15 seconds

To avoid last-minute moves, you should scan the road 10 to 15 seconds ahead of your

vehicle. This allows you to see hazards before meeting the

You should signal at least how many feet before you turn?

100

You should signal at least 100 feet before you turn, before every lane change, at least

five seconds before you change lanes on a freeway, before pulling next to the curb or

away from the curb, even when you do not see other vehicles around you, and when you

are almost through the intersection if you plan to turn shortly after crossing the

intersection. Remember to turn off your signal when you no longer need it

Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in a residential area is:

25mph

If you are involved in a traffic collision, you are required to complete and submit a written

report to the DMV:

If there is property damage in excess of $1,000 or if there are any injuries

If a collision results in death, any minor or major injury, or more than $1,000 in damage

to anyone's property, each driver involved must file a report with the DMV within 10 days.

In some cases, the driver's insurance agent, broker, or legal representative may file the

report to represent the driver

You may not park your vehicle:

Next to a red painted curb

No stopping, standing, or parking is permitted next to a red painted curb. However,

buses may stop in a red curb zone marked for buse

Two sets of solid double yellow lines that are two or more feet apart:

May not be crossed for any reason.

Two sets of solid double yellow lines spaced two or more feet apart are considered a

barrier. You may not drive on or over this barrier, or make a left turn or U-turn across it,

except at designated openings.

You are driving on a freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph. Traffic is traveling at 70

mph. You may legally driv

No faster than 65 mph

On most California highways, the maximum speed limit is 65 mph. You may drive at 70

mph only if the speed limit is posted as such.

If you plan to pass another vehicle, you should:

Not assume the other driver will make space for you to return to your lane.

Even when you signal, you should not assume that the space you want to occupy is free

or that other drivers will give you the right-of-way.

A large truck is ahead of you and is turning right onto a street with two lanes in each

direction. The truck

May have to swing wide to complete the right turn.

When a vehicle makes a turn, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels.

The longer the vehicle, the bigger the difference between the paths of the front and rear

wheels. Therefore, long trucks often have to swing wide to complete a right turn.

Always stop before crossing railroad tracks when

There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.

Expect a train on any track, at any time, traveling in either direction. If you need to stop

after crossing the tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before

proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.

You should use your horn when:

It may help prevent a collision.

Only use your horn when it is necessary to avoid collisions. Do not use your horn if a

driver or bicyclist is moving slowly and you want him or her to drive faster or get out of

your way.

If you drive more slowly than the flow of traffic, you will most likely:

Interfere with traffic and receive a ticket.

You must drive more slowly than usual when there is heavy traffic or bad weather.

However, if you block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic by driving too

slowly, you may be cited. You should match the speed of traffic, unless the speed of

traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.

When changing lanes on a freeway, you should:

Signal for at least five seconds.

Signal at least five seconds prior to a changing lanes on a freeway. Always signal when

turning left or right, changing lanes, slowing down, or stopping to let other drivers,

motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians know your intentions.

Allow extra space in front of your vehicle when following a:

Motorcycle.

Allow for extra space when driving behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop more

quickly than other vehicles can and you must have adequate room to stop if the

motorcyclist brakes or falls off. Also, remember that motorcycles are difficult to see at

night because they only have one tail light.

You must show proof of insurance to law enforcement

If you are involved in a collision or stopped for a citation.

You must have evidence of financial responsibility, such as proof of insurance, with you

whenever you drive. You must always show proof of insurance and your license to an

officer upon request after a traffic stop or collision.

If you drive 55 mph in a 55 mph zone, you can be given a speeding ticket:

If the road or weather conditions require a slower speed.

California has a "Basic Speed Law," which means that you may never drive faster than

would be safe in current conditions. Even if your speed is slower than the posted limit,

you may still be cited if you are going too fast for conditions. When deciding how quickly

to drive, drivers should take multiple factors into account, such as the speed of

surrounding vehicles, the condition of the road surface, the presence of bicyclists and

pedestrians, and weather conditions.

. It is legal to drive with an alcoholic beverage container that has been opened only if the

container is:

In the trunk.

Any opened alcoholic beverage container must be kept in the trunk of the vehicle, or in

another place where passengers do not sit. Keeping an opened alcoholic drink in the

glove compartment is specifically prohibited. However, in a bus, taxi, camper, or motor

home, these restrictions do not apply to non-driving passengers.

You want to turn left at an upcoming corner. Yield the right-of-way to:

All approaching vehicles.

When making a left turn, you must yield to pedestrians, bicyclists, or other vehicles

moving on their green light.

There is a vehicle stopped on the right shoulder of the road with its hazard lights on. You

should:

Slow down and pass very carefully.

If you see a vehicle’s hazard lights ahead, slow down. There may be a collision or other

road emergency ahead. Stop and give assistance if asked by anyone, or pass very

carefully

Before you change lanes, you should check your mirrors and:

Glance over your shoulder.

Before changing lanes, it is very important to check behind you. You should look over

your shoulder to ensure that you are not getting in the way of vehicles in the lane you

want to enter. Before changing lanes, you should also ensure that no drivers are

attempting to drive into the same spot from a different lane.

You want to park downhill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn

your front wheels?

Right, toward the side of the road

When parking facing downhill on a road with or without a curb, or when facing uphill on a

road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle

will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a road with a

curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if

the brakes fail.

You want to pass a bicyclist in a narrow traffic lane when an oncoming vehicle is

approaching. You should:

Slow down and let the vehicle pass you before you pass the bicyclist.

In this situation, you should take on one danger at a time. Rather than trying to squeeze

between the bicyclist and the other vehicle, you should slow down to let the other vehicle

pass, and then pass the bicyclist when it is safe to do so.

Always carefully look for motorcycles before you change lanes because:

Their small size can make them hard to see.

You should check carefully for motorcycles when changing lanes because their small

size makes it easy for them to disappear into your blind spots.

Drivers must use their seat belt:

And failure to do so will result in a traffic ticket.

Drivers must always wear seat belts and may be cited for failure to do so.

You should not start across an intersection if you know you will block the intersection when

the light turns red:

Under any circumstances.

Even if the signal is green, you must not enter an intersection unless you can get

completely across before the light turns red. If you block the intersection, you can be

cited.

A pedestrian starts to cross the street after the "Don't Walk" signal begins to flash. The

pedestrian is in the middle of the street when your signal light changes to green. You should:

Wait until the pedestrian crosses the street before proceeding.

At a green light, you must give the right-of-way to any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian in

the intersection. If a pedestrian begins crossing the street after the traffic signal light

starts flashing, wait until they have crossed the street before proceeding.

A vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you, creating a hazard. What should you do first?

Take your foot off the gas pedal.

If a vehicle merges in front of you too closely, take your foot off of the accelerator. This

will create space between you and the vehicle ahead without requiring you to slam on

your brakes or swerve into another lane.

A safety zone is a specially marked area for passengers to get on or off of buses or trolleys.

You may not drive through a safety zone:

At any time for any reason.

You may never drive through a safety zone. This space is set aside for pedestrians.

A red arrow pointing to the right on a traffic light means you may

Not turn in that direction until the light turns green.

A red arrow means "stop." You must remain stopped until a green light or green arrow

appears. Do not turn against a red arrow.

An orange and red triangular sign on a vehicle always means:

Slow-moving vehicle.

Slow-moving vehicles, such as farm tractors, road maintenance vehicles, and animal-

drawn carts, display an orange and red triangle on the back.

. You must yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle that is using its siren and flashing

lights by:

Driving as closely to the right edge of the road as possible and stopping.

You must yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle that is using its siren and

flashing lights. Do this by driving to the right edge of the road and stopping, taking care

not to stop in an intersection. You may move again after the emergency vehicle has

passed.

When a school bus is stopped on the road ahead to load or unload children, you must:

Come to a complete stop until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm is

withdrawn.

When a school bus is stopped on the road ahead with its lights flashing and its stop arm

extended, you must come to a complete stop and wait to proceed until the lights have

stopped flashing and the stop arm is withdrawn. Even after the bus begins to move

again, do not proceed until you are sure there are no children crossing the road ahead of

you.

You must look for bicyclists in the same lanes used by motor vehicles because they:

Are entitled to share the road with motor vehicles.

Bicyclists have the right to operate on the road and may lawfully be permitted to ride on

certain sections of freeways where there is no alternate route and bicycling is not

forbidden by a sign. Watch for bicyclists and share the road when they are present

You may make a left turn on a red light only from a

One-way street onto a one-way street.

You may turn left against a red light when you are turning from a one-way street onto a

one-way street. Make sure there is no sign prohibiting the turn. Yield to other vehicles,

pedestrians, or bicyclists who have a green light. Look both ways and turn when it is

safe.

When should you yield your legal right-of-way?

Whenever it helps prevent collisions.

Never assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way. Yield your right-of-way

whenever it helps prevent collisions

When may you legally drive around or under a railroad crossing gate?

Never.

Do not go around or under any lowered gate at a railroad crossing. Once the gate is

raised, do not proceed across the tracks until you can see clearly in both directions and

are sure there are no trains coming.

If you are convicted of driving with an excessive blood alcohol concentration (BAC), you

may be sentenced to serve:

Up to six months in jail.

If you are convicted of DUI for the first time and you have an excessive BAC level, you

may be sentenced to serve up to six months in jail and may be required to pay a fine

between $390 and $1,000. Your vehicle may be impounded and is subject to storage

fees.

There are two traffic lanes moving in your direction. You are driving in the left lane and many

vehicles are passing you on the right. If the driver behind you wishes to drive faster, you should:

Move into the right lane when it is safe.

To drive quickly, pass, or turn left, use the left lane. Use the right lane when driving more

slowly than surrounding traffic, entering the road, or turning right.

While driving at night, a vehicle coming toward you has its high beams on, making it hard for

you to see the road ahead. You should:

Look ahead toward the right edge of your lane.

If an oncoming driver fails to dim their high beams, you should avoid looking directly at

the headlights. Instead, look toward the right edge of your lane and watch the oncoming

vehicle out of the corner of your eye.

You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:

Are being tailgated by another driver.

When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake

suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the

tailgater.

Check your rearview mirrors:

Often to see how traffic is moving behind you.

When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so

you know the positions of vehicles near you.

At an uncontrolled intersection where you cannot see cross traffic until you are just about to

enter the intersection, the speed limit is:

15 mph.

The speed limit for a blind intersection is 15 mph. An intersection is considered “blind” if

there are no stop signs on any corner and you cannot see for 100 feet in either direction

during the last 100 feet before crossing.

If your vehicle starts to lose traction because of water on the road, you should:

Slow down gradually and not apply the brakes.

When driving in heavy rain at speeds as low as 30 mph, your tires may lose all contact

with the road and instead ride up on a layer of water above the surface of the road. This

is called "hydroplaning." If your vehicle starts to hydroplane, slow down gradually and do

not apply the brakes.

You are crossing an intersection and an emergency vehicle is approaching while using its

siren and flashing lights. You should:

Continue through the intersection, pull to the right, and stop.

If you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle approaching while

using its flashing lights and/or siren, continue through the intersection and then drive to

the right and stop. You must yield the right-of-way to any police vehicle, fire engine,

ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren or flashing lights.

A peace officer is signaling for you to drive to the edge of the roadway. You decide to ignore

the officer's warning and flee the scene. You are guilty of a misdemeanor and can be punished

by being:

Jailed in the county jail for not more than one year.

Any person, while operating a motor vehicle, who willfully flees or attempts to evade a

peace officer performing his or her duties is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by

imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year.

The speed limit on a school zone where children are present is ____, unless otherwise

posted.

25 mph

When driving within 500 to 1,000 feet of a school while children are outside or crossing

the street, the speed limit is 25 mph, unless otherwise posted. Some school zones may

have speed limits as low as 15 mph.

. It is illegal to leave a child age ____ or younger alone in a vehicle.

Six

It is never a good idea to leave a child unattended in a car. It is illegal to leave a child

who is age six or younger unattended in a vehicle. A child may be left in a car if they are

under the supervision of a person age 12 or older.

When approaching a roundabout, you should always:

Decrease your speed.

When approaching a roundabout, slow down. A roundabout is designed to be driven at a

low speed.

When using a roundabout, drivers should:

Yield to traffic already in the roundabout.

A roundabout is a circular intersection that usually does not include a traffic signal and

flows in a counterclockwise direction around a central island. Motorists must enter from

the right, yielding to traffic already in the roundabout, and follow the circle to the right

until the desired roadway is reached.

If you pass a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing, you will:

Be fined up to $1,000.

Drivers must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus stopped with its

red lights flashing. Failure to stop until the red lights stop flashing may result in license

suspension and a fine of up to $1,000.

Placard abuse will result in:

Placard revocation, a fine, and/or jail time.

Abuse of a disabled placard or plate is a misdemeanor. Placard abuse can result in the

loss of special parking privileges, a fine of up to $1,000, and up to six months of jail time.

Fines in a construction zone are:

Doubled.

Fines for moving traffic violations are doubled in highway construction or maintenance

zones where workers are present. When operating in a construction zone, you must

drive carefully and follow all directions provided by signs, signals, officers, and flaggers.

California's Move Over law requires:

All vehicles to vacate the lane closest to an emergency vehicle that is stopped with

its lights flashing.

If an emergency vehicle with its lights on is stopped on the side of the road, California

drivers are required to vacate the lane directly next to the vehicle, if possible. If a driver

cannot move over safely, they must slow down and proceed with caution. This law also

applies when approaching a stopped tow truck or Department of Transportation vehicle.

If you hit an animal with your vehicle while driving on a California highway, you should:

Call the humane society.

If you injure or kill an animal on the roadway, you should call CHP, the nearest humane

society, or the police. You should not leave the animal to die or try to move the animal.

Abandoning an animal on the highway may result in:

Jail time.

It is illegal to dump or abandon an animal on the highway. Doing so can result in six

months of jail time, a fine of up to $1,000, or both.

To prevent tailgating, drivers should follow the:

Three-second rule.

Most rear-end collisions are caused by tailgating. To avoid tailgating, use the “Three-

Second Rule.” When the vehicle ahead of you passes a certain point, such as a sign,

count “one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two, one-thousand-three.” If you pass the same

point before you finish counting, you are following too closely.

. If you come across livestock or other animals on the roadway, you should:

Slow down and stop.

If you are driving and come across an animal of any kind in the road, try to slow down

and stop if it's safe to do so. Swerving to avoid an animal can be dangerous because

your vehicle may lose control and cause an accident.

You should turn on your headlights:

One half hour after sunset.

Headlights must be used one half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise,

when windshield wipers are being used due to rain or snow, and in any other situation

when visibility is less than 1,000 feet. They should be used when a car is being driven on

a small country or mountain road, even in sunny weather.

What usually causes a locked wheel skid?

Braking too hard at a fast speed

A locked wheel skid is most commonly caused by a driver braking too hard while

traveling at a high speed. Drivers should use their brakes smoothly and gradually

If a green arrow turns into a solid green light, you:

May still turn, but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

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.

When making a right turn on a green light, you must:

Yield to pedestrians.

Unless a posted sign prohibits it, you may turn right or left at a steady green light. When

turning, you must yield to other vehicles and pedestrians within the intersection.

When you drive through an area where children are playing, you should expect them:

To run out in front of you without looking.

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.

If you stop at a railroad crossing with more than one track:

Wait to proceed until you have a clear view of all tracks.

If you are stopped at a railroad crossing with more than one track, do not start moving as

soon as a train passes. Wait until you have a clear view down all tracks before you start

across. Even where there is only one track, do not start across immediately after a train

passes; check again for another train that may be approaching.

While backing, you should:

Turn your head and look through the rear window.

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.

To help prevent crashes, you should:

Communicate with other road users.

Crashes often happen because one driver does something that other road users are not

expecting. You should communicate with other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians by

doing things like signaling when slowing down, stopping, or changing direction. Use your

emergency signals or horn when appropriate.

If you begin to feel tired while driving, the best thing to do is to:

Stop driving.

Being fatigued while driving is similar in danger to driving under the influence of alcohol.

If you begin to feel tired while driving, the best thing to do is to stop driving.

If your car breaks down on a highway, you should:

> Use your four-way flashers to warn other drivers.

If your vehicle breaks down on the highway, you should signal before carefully exiting the

roadway and turning on your hazard flashers. Get as far off the road as possible and

park in a location where other drivers can easily see you. Lift your hood to let other

drivers know your vehicle is disabled.

To pass a slower-moving vehicle on a two-lane, two-way road, you must

Use the lane that belongs to oncoming traffic.

Passing on a two-lane, two-way road requires good judgment because you must use the

lane belonging to oncoming traffic to complete your pass. Only pass if you may safely

and legally do so.

The most important thing to remember about speed management and curves is that you

must:

Slow down before you enter the curve.

The most important thing to remember about driving in curves is that your vehicle’s

inertia may make it difficult to turn. To maintain control, it is essential that you slow down

before entering the curve.

At an intersection with a stop sign, you should stop and:

Look left first, then right, then left again.

When stopped at an intersection, you should first look to your left, as vehicles coming

from the left are closer to you than vehicles coming from the right. Look to your right,

then look to your left again, in case there are any vehicles coming from that direction that

you did not see at first glance.

It is best to keep a space cushion

On all sides of the vehicle.

To ensure that you will have time to react to hazards on the roadway, it is best to keep a

cushion of space on all sides of your vehicle. Do not crowd vehicles to your left and right

sides.

Allow a larger space cushion than usual when stopping:

On an incline.

You should allow more space in front of your vehicle than usual when you are stopped

on an uphill slope. If the vehicle in front of you rolls backward toward your vehicle when

traffic begins to move again, it is less likely that there will be a collision.

When making a turn, you must ____ your speed.

Reduce

When turning, you should reduce to a speed that allows you to maintain control of your

vehicle, stay in your lane, and react to unexpected situations.

When driving on slick roads, you should:

Take turns more slowly than usual.

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.

When driving on slippery roads, you should:

Increase your following distance.

On slippery roads, you should increase your following distance. It may take more time to

stop your vehicle than it would under normal conditions.

. Roads freeze quickly when they are:

Shaded.

In cold or wet weather, you should take special care on sections of road that are shaded

by trees or buildings. These areas freeze more quickly than the rest of the road and are

the last parts of the road to dry.

You are waiting in the intersection to complete a left turn. You should:

Signal and keep your wheels straight.

You must always signal before turning or changing lanes. You should keep your wheels

straight while waiting to make a left turn. If another vehicle hits you from behind, this

ensures that you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic.
