You approach a four-way stop at the same time as a vehicle on your right. Who has the right of way?
Answer: The vehicle on your right
When two vehicles reach a four-way stop simultaneously, the driver on the right goes first.
What is the safest following distance to maintain behind the car ahead under good conditions?
Answer: At least 3 seconds
The three-second rule gives enough time to react and brake safely under normal conditions.
When driving in heavy fog, you should use which headlights?
Answer: Low beams
Low beams reduce glare reflecting off fog, while high beams scatter light and reduce visibility.
What should you do if your vehicle begins to hydroplane on a wet road?
Answer: Ease off the accelerator and steer straight
Easing off the gas and holding the wheel steady lets the tires regain contact with the road.
A school bus ahead has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. What must you do?
Answer: Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing
Drivers must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm to protect children.
What is the primary purpose of adjusting your mirrors before driving?
Answer: To minimize blind spots
Properly adjusted mirrors widen your field of view and reduce dangerous blind spots.
When should you signal before changing lanes on a highway?
Answer: At least 3 to 5 seconds before the maneuver
Signaling several seconds early gives other drivers time to anticipate your move.
