Not quite. The answer is stay in your lane.

A solid white line between lanes of traffic means that you should stay in your lane unless an urgent situation requires you to change lanes.

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 It indicates the direction.

This is a directional arrow sign.

Not quite. The answer is an upcoming side road.

This sign shows a side road ahead. Watch for vehicles entering from that direction.

Not quite. The answer is pull over to the side of the road and park your vehicle before dealing with the situation.

Do not take your eyes off the road to turn around to deal with the needs of passengers, children or pets. If you must give attention to passengers or animals, pull over to the side of the road and park your vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is Increased alertness

Alcohol can impair vision, slow down reactions, and dull judgement. Alcohol does not increase alertness.

Not quite. The answer is yield the right-of-way to the pedestrians.

You must yield the right-of-way to crossing pedestrians within any crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked.

Not quite. The answer is separates lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited.

A double solid white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited. Double solid white lines are often used on highways to separate a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane from other lanes traveling in the same direction.

Not quite. The answer is a speed limit sign on expressways.

A speed limit sign indicates the legal maximum speed allowed on the expressway under ideal driving conditions.

Not quite. The answer is Car B, because it is to the right of Car A

Not quite. The answer is stop for the pedestrian.

A pedestrian using a guide dog or carrying a white cane is blind or visually impaired. Pedestrians using a guide dog or carrying a white cane have the absolute right-of-way. Don't use your horn because it might confuse or startle the blind pedestrian or the guide dog.

Not quite. The answer is a three-point turn.

If a road is too narrow for you to make a U-turn, you can turn your vehicle around by making a three-point turn. This maneuver will also put you in the opposite direction. You should make a three-point turn only where visibility is good, the traffic is light on both sides of the road, and the turn is permitted there.

Not quite. The answer is only on the left of the vehicle.

When overtaking and passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, you should pass only on the left of the vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is No-Zones.

Don't hang out in a No-Zone! No-Zones are large areas around trucks, buses, and other large vehicles in which cars may disappear into blind spots or get so close that they restrict the truck driver's ability to stop or maneuver safely. No-Zones exist to the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle. It is impossible to completely avoid a large vehicle's No-Zones. However, do not remain in a No-Zone any longer than necessary to safely pass the vehicle. And never tailgate a truck.

Not quite. The answer is A speed zone is ahead; prepare to reduce your speed to 45 mph.

The larger sign tells you that a speed zone is ahead. The smaller sign indicates what the speed limit will be. In this case, the speed limit will decrease to 45 mph ahead. Prepare to slow down so you won't exceed that speed limit.

Not quite. The answer is Car A must yield to its right.

When two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals) at about the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to its right. Here, Car A must yield to Car B.

Not quite. The answer is hydroplaning.

When it is raining or the road is wet, as you go faster, your tires will start to ride up on the water like water skis because of low traction with the road. This condition is called hydroplaning. To avoid this condition, drive slower than 35 mph on wet roads.

Not quite. The answer is to divide each side of the roadway into separate lanes for vehicles traveling in the same direction.

When two or more lanes are going in the same direction, a broken white line is used to divide each side of the roadway into separate lanes for vehicles traveling in the same direction.
