    4. None: it sits so high it sees everything
    Show answer

    3. Zip behind it quickly before it gets there
    4. Wait, stopped at a distance, until it's done
    Show answer

    Answer: Wait, stopped at a distance, until it's done

    The driver can barely see behind. Patience, kiddo: wait back and let them finish.

19. 19. Compared to a car, a loaded big rig needs this much distance to stop…

    1. Less, since its tires are bigger
    2. The same, since it has more brakes
    3. Much more distance
    4. Less, since it's heavier and grips better
    Show answer

    Answer: Much more distance

    The heavier it is, the harder it stops. Never take away its braking room.

    4. Yes, trucks stop faster than cars

    4. Yes, if you signal early enough
    Show answer

    4. Where passing is allowed and it's clear
    Show answer

    Answer: Where passing is allowed and it's clear

    A tractor is slow, but that's no reason to pass blind. Wait for a straight with a clear view.

    3. Nothing; at night they must watch for your lights
    4. Slow down: in dark clothes they're hard to see
    Show answer

    2. Obey the flagger and stop
    3. Go, since the light outranks the flagger
    4. Honk and go through carefully
    Show answer

    1. It's small, so it looks farther and slower
    2. Motorcycles always go faster than the limit
    3. Motorcycles have no turn signals or brake lights
    4. Their headlights are brighter than a car's
    Show answer

    Answer: It's small, so it looks farther and slower

    The bike gets there sooner than you think. Before turning in front of one, look twice.

    4. It wants you to follow more closely
    Show answer

    Answer: To avoid potholes, grates, or debris

    A pothole your car barely feels can knock down a bike. Give it room to maneuver.

    1. Pull out, since it's surely turning
    2. Flash your lights so the rider turns it off
    3. Speed up to cross before it turns
    4. Wait until you see it really turn
    Show answer

    Answer: Wait until you see it really turn

    3. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing
    4. Stop for a moment, then cross carefully

    4. Speed up to get through before they're down
    Show answer

39. 39. In most states, when you must stop at a railroad crossing, where do you stop?

    1. 100 feet or more back, where the warning signs begin
    2. About 5 feet from the rail, as close as you can get
    3. Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail
    4. Right on the first track, to see the train better
    Show answer

    Answer: Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail

    Not too close, not too far: 15 to 50 feet. The train is wider than the rails.

40. 40. The crossing has two or more tracks. A train just passed and the lights are still flashing. You…

    1. Go around the gates, since they must be stuck
    2. Inch forward, since the danger has already passed

    3. Slow down, look both ways, and listen
    4. Only check whether a train horn is sounding
    Show answer

    Answer: Slow down, look both ways, and listen

    With no lights, you're the lookout. Turn down the radio, look hard, and listen.

43. 43. Why is it dangerous to try to beat an approaching train?

    1. It looks farther away and slower than it is
    2. Because the engineer can steer around you
    3. Trains always brake in time when they see a car
    4. It's only dangerous at night, when it's hard to see
    Show answer

    4. It's about to stop: slow down and get ready
    Show answer

    Yellow on a bus is the warning; red is the STOP. Start slowing down now.

46. 46. You're stopped behind a school bus with red lights flashing. When can you go?

    1. As soon as you see the last child get on the bus
    2. When the car in front of you decides to go first
    3. When the red lights stop and the STOP arm folds back
    4. After the bus has been stopped for about 30 seconds
    Show answer

    The lights and the arm decide, or the driver's signal. Even then, go slowly: a kid may dart out.

    1. Go slowly, ready to brake if one crosses
    2. Speed up to pass the bus before it gets going

    4. Keep normal speed, since the lights are off now
    Show answer

48. 48. On a highway with a raised concrete median, a school bus on the other side stops with red lights flashing. In most states…

    1. You don't have to stop, but pass carefully
    2. You stop, just as if you were behind it
    3. You must stop and turn off your engine until it leaves
    4. You stop only if you see kids crossing the median

    With a physical median, most states don't make the other side stop. Some do: check your manual.

49. 49. You see a school zone sign with flashing yellow lights and a speed limit. What does it mean?

    1. It's a suggestion; you can drive the normal limit
    2. That limit is only for the school buses
    3. That limit applies right now, while they flash
    4. It only applies if an officer is watching the zone
    Show answer

    Answer: That limit applies right now, while they flash

    Flashing means kids are around. The school limit, often 15 to 25 mph, is for real.

    1. No closer than 50 feet
    2. 3 seconds, like any other vehicle
    3. No closer than 100 feet
    4. No closer than 500 feet

    3. Yes, if you drive over it very slowly
    4. Only if it looks empty with no water inside
    Show answer

    Answer: No, unless a firefighter tells you to

    Running over it can burst it or cut their water mid-fire. Wait or find another route.

    1. Speed up to get out of the area fast
    2. Keep going until you see the lights right behind you

    4. Turn down the radio and look for it

    3. Honk and go
    4. Drive past slowly on the side

    Answer: Stop: with red lights, traffic stops in both directions

    When a school bus flashes its red lights, cars in both directions stop until the children cross and the lights go off.

60. 60. The students already crossed, but the bus still has its red lights on. Can you pass it now?

    1. Yes, if you go very slowly
    2. No: stay stopped while the red lights are flashing
    3. Yes, if you honk first
    4. Yes: nobody's crossing anymore
    Show answer

    Answer: No: stay stopped while the red lights are flashing

    You stay stopped while the red lights keep flashing, even if you don't see anyone. Go only after they turn off.

61. 61. You're in a school zone and the crossing guard steps into the street holding up a STOP sign. What do you do?

    1. Go around her slowly
    2. Stop, then go as soon as the kids pass
    3. Stop and wait until she's out of the street
    4. Honk so she hurries up
    Show answer

    Answer: Stop and wait until she's out of the street

    Near a school with children outside, the speed limit is 25 mph. Always obey the crossing guard: if she holds up her STOP sign, stop before the crosswalk and wait until she's out of the street.

62. 62. You're turning right and a person with a white cane starts crossing at the corner. What do you do?

    1. Honk to warn them
    2. Stop mid-turn, on top of the crosswalk
    3. Stop and let them cross all the way, without honking
    4. Go behind them slowly
    Show answer

    Answer: Stop and let them cross all the way, without honking

    A white cane or a guide dog means the person may be blind. They always have the right-of-way: stop before the crossing, not on top of it, and wait until they finish crossing. Don't honk: you could startle them.

63. 63. You're behind a bicyclist and a car is coming toward you. There isn't room to give three feet. What do you do?

    1. Pass close: they're going slow
    2. Wait behind and pass when you can give three feet
    3. Honk so they move over
    4. Pass quickly before the car gets there
    Show answer

    Answer: Wait behind and pass when you can give three feet

    When you pass a bicyclist, leave at least three feet between your car and them. If there's no room because someone is coming toward you, wait behind at their speed and pass once there's space.

64. 64. You parked next to the curb and you're about to open your door. A bicyclist is coming in your mirror. What do you do?

    1. Open a little so they see you
    2. Open: they have to go around you
    3. Wait until they pass, then open
    4. Open quickly before they get there
    Show answer

    Answer: Wait until they pass, then open

    Before opening the door on the traffic side, check your mirror and look over your shoulder. If a bicyclist, motorcycle or car is coming, wait until it passes: a door opened suddenly can knock a bicyclist down.

65. 65. You just passed a big rig and want to move back into its lane. When do you move over?

    1. Once you've left plenty of room (you can see all of it in your rearview mirror)
    2. Right away: as soon as you pass it
    3. When the trucker flashes their lights
    4. Move over and tap your brakes to warn it
    Show answer

    Answer: Once you've left plenty of room (you can see all of it in your rearview mirror)

    Don't cut in right in front of a big truck: it needs much more room to stop, and if you slow down in front of it, it could hit you. Keep going until there's plenty of space (a good trick: when you can see all of it in your rearview mirror), then change lanes with signal, mirror and shoulder check.

66. 66. You're next to a big rig, alongside its trailer, and it signals toward your lane. What do you do?

    1. Stay beside it: it has to see you
    2. Honk and keep going the same
    3. Slow down and drop back to where you can see its mirrors
    4. Speed up to get next to its cab
    Show answer

    Answer: Slow down and drop back to where you can see its mirrors

    Big trucks have huge blind spots on the sides, in front and behind. If you can't see the truck's side mirrors, the driver can't see you. Don't stay beside it: slow down, or pass quickly and safely.
