1

What is the purpose of warning signs placed along the roadways?

  • A.control and regulate traffic.
  • B.provide information about directions, distances, and available services.
  • C.indicate points of interest and geographical information.
  • D.indicate potentially hazardous conditions ahead.✓

Why: Warning signs are designed to alert drivers to potentially hazardous conditions ahead. As stated in the manual, these signs warn you of dangerous conditions where you must drive with great caution. They give you time to slow down and prepare for the road ahead.

2

What is the minimum distance you must signal before making a turn?

  • A.25 feet
  • B.100 feet✓
  • C.50 feet
  • D.75 feet

Why: According to the Rules of the Road, you must signal continuously for the last 100 feet before making a turn. This gives other drivers enough time to react to your intentions.

3

  • A.high-beam headlights.
  • B.emergency flashers.
  • C.low-beam headlights.✓
  • D.either low-beam or high-beam headlights.

Why: According to the driving manual, you must "dim your headlights... within 300 feet when following another vehicle." Using low-beam headlights prevents your lights from reflecting off the leading car's mirrors and blinding the driver.

  • B.The vehicle turning right must yield to the vehicle turning left.
  • C.The vehicle turning left must yield to the vehicle turning right.
  • D.The vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.✓

Why: According to the Rules of the Road, when two vehicles approach an unsigned intersection at approximately the same time, the vehicle on the left side must yield to the vehicle on the right. This ensures a predictable flow of traffic and prevents collisions.

5

Which of the following statements about the right-of-way is FALSE?

  • A.Vehicles entering or crossing a roadway from a private driveway must yield to all approaching vehicles.
  • B.Vehicles must yield to pedestrians in unmarked crosswalks.
  • C.At an uncontrolled T-intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals), the vehicle on the through road must yield to vehicles on the terminating road.✓
  • D.Vehicles turning left must yield to oncoming traffic.

Why: Option C is false because at a T-intersection without signs, the driver on the road that ends must yield to traffic on the main road.
