Arizona MVD Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is No, you cannot park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.

In Arizona, you are not allowed to park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. (There are also many other places where you are not allowed to park. Check for signs that may prohibit or limit parking.)

Not quite. The answer is drivers approaching from either direction.

Under Arizona law, you may not make a U-turn on a curve or near the top of a hill if you cannot be seen by other drivers approaching from either direction within 500 feet.

Not quite. The answer is 20 feet

In Arizona, you may not park on a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. (Note: There are also many other places where you are not allowed to park. Check for signs or pavement markings that may prohibit or limit parking.)

Not quite. The answer is when you are in a left-turn lane.

Under Arizona law, you may pass a vehicle on the right when 1) the vehicle is making or about to make a left turn; or 2) there are two or more lanes of traffic going in the same direction as you are. (This can be the case on a multilane roadway or a one-way street.) A left-turn lane is used only for making left turns (and U-turns where permitted).

Not quite. The answer is try not to slow down suddenly

When you turn off a high-speed, two-lane roadway, try not to slow down suddenly or you might get rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. Use your turn signals to let other drivers know your intentions. Tap your brakes and reduce your speed quickly but safely.

Not quite. The answer is leftmost

On multilane roads, the leftmost lane is intended to be used for passing slower vehicles. If you pass on the right, the other driver may have difficulty seeing you and may suddenly change lanes in front of you.

Not quite. The answer is Angle parking

Angle parking is commonly found in parking lots and shopping centers and on wide streets. When you enter an angle parking space, watch for pedestrians and traffic both ahead of you and behind you, and do not park too closely to other vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is Away from the curb

When you parallel park facing uphill next to a curb, you should point your wheels away from the curb and then roll back slightly so that the rear part of the curbside front wheel rests against the curb. If your brakes fail, the curb will block your car from rolling backward. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear (Park for an automatic transmission or first gear for maximum forward torque with a manual transmission).

Not quite. The answer is change lanes if possible.

If you're being tailgated, move into another lane if possible, or pull over to let the tailgater pass. Don't hit the brakes to warn the tailgater. This could make a difficult situation even more dangerous. And don't try to increase your speed in an attempt to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.

Not quite. The answer is Keep shifting your eyes.

Expressway driving may cause highway hypnosis, a condition of drowsiness or unawareness induced by monotony, the sounds of the wind and the tires on the pavement, and the steady hum of the engine. Try to prevent the condition by shifting your eyes from one area of the roadway to another and focusing them upon various objects near and far, left and right. Talking on a cell phone or changing lanes frequently can be dangerous.

Not quite. The answer is change them one at a time.

If you want to change several lanes, change them one at a time to reduce the risk of an accident.

Not quite. The answer is slow down slightly and keep right

If another vehicle is passing you on the left, slow down slightly and keep right until the vehicle has safely passed and is ahead of you. Only then should you resume your usual speed.

Not quite. The answer is You may either go straight or turn left.

A two-headed arrow with one head pointing straight ahead and the other pointing left means that you may either go straight or turn left.

Not quite. The answer is hand and arm extended outward.

When you want to make a turn, be sure your intentions are known to other drivers. Signals should be continued until you are ready to make the actual turn. The correct hand signal to make a left turn is hand and arm extended outward.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, but only after coming to a stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians.

In Arizona, you are allowed to turn right on a red signal unless there are signs prohibiting it. Before turning, however, you must come to a complete stop and then yield to pedestrians and traffic.

Not quite. The answer is the middle or left lanes

On a multilane roadway with several lanes in your direction, you must use the middle or left lanes for passing.

Not quite. The answer is continue to the next exit.

If you miss your exit on a freeway, don't stop, back up, or try to turn around. Doing so greatly increases the likelihood of a collision. Instead, continue to the next exit and find a way to double back from there.

Not quite. The answer is Three seconds

Four of every ten crashes are rear-end collisions. And the most frequent cause of rear-end collisions is tailgating (following too closely). The Arizona Driver License Manual recommends the "3 – 6 second rule." That is, when driving conditions are good, leave a following distance of at least three seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. When driving conditions are poor or at any other time when you may need more space to stop, increase your following distance to as much as six seconds.

Not quite. The answer is The freeway traffic

When a vehicle is merging into freeway traffic, the traffic already on the freeway has the right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is a greater following distance

Vehicles such as buses and post office vans make frequent stops. And every stop represents a hazard. When following one of these vehicles, you should maintain a greater following distance than usual.
