Kansas DMV Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

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

There are two basic right-of-way rules for uncontrolled intersections: Yield to your right, and yield to oncoming cars when you are turning left. Here, Car A must yield to its right. So Car B has the right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

When making a left turn at an intersection, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, other vehicles already in the intersection, and oncoming traffic. The law says who must yield the right-of-way; it does not give anyone the right-of-way. You must do everything possible to avoid striking a pedestrian, property, or another vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is turn around on a narrow street.

When the street is too narrow for a U-turn, you can turn your vehicle around by making a three-point turn. You may make a three-point turn only when the street is narrow, there is good visibility, the traffic is light, the turn is legal, and there is no other option.

Not quite. The answer is all traffic coming from the opposite direction.

When making a left turn at an intersection or into an alley or driveway, yield the right-of-way to all oncoming traffic.

Not quite. The answer is Pedestrians and oncoming vehicles

You must yield to all pedestrians and oncoming vehicles before turning left.

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

If there is not enough room to make a U-turn, consider making a three-point turn. This maneuver will also leave your vehicle facing in the opposite direction. You may make a three-point turn only when the street is narrow, there is good visibility, the traffic is light, the turn is legal, and there is no other option.

Not quite. The answer is look ten seconds ahead on the road

In order to avoid last-minute braking or the need to turn suddenly, you should look well down the road – at least ten seconds ahead of your vehicle. Looking well down the road will leave you more time to react to hazards. Plus, you will be able to drive more safely, save on fuel, and steer straighter.

Not quite. The answer is a tight turn into the right lane of the cross street.

To turn right from a four-lane highway, enter the right lane well in advance and make a tight turn into the right lane of the cross street.

Not quite. The answer is turn off your cell phone until you reach your destination.

A distraction is still a distraction, even on a straightaway or an empty road. Do not eat, drink, smoke, text, read, or have difficult conversations while driving. If possible, turn off your phone and keep it off until you are done driving for the day.

Not quite. The answer is 100 feet

You must use the appropriate turn signal before changing direction. In urban areas, you must signal for at least 100 feet or 3 to 5 seconds before making the turn. At speeds above 45 mph, you must signal for at least 200 feet or 3 to 5 seconds before making the turn.

Not quite. The answer is stay in your lane and not increase your speed.

If you are being passed by another vehicle, stay in your lane and do not increase your speed. Let the other vehicle pass you safely.

Not quite. The answer is either a) or b).

Diagonal yellow striping on streets and highways indicate a narrow road or an obstruction ahead.

Not quite. The answer is you must not drive across the median or barrier except at an approved crossover.

When a highway is divided into two roadways by a median or barrier, you must not drive across the median or barrier except at an approved crossover.

Not quite. The answer is increase your speed

To enter a freeway smoothly, accelerate on the entrance ramp or acceleration lane to match the speed of traffic in the right lane of the freeway. Then give a left-turn signal and merge carefully into the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is in an emergency or if your vehicle is disabled.

Stopping on the shoulder is prohibited except in an emergency or if your vehicle is disabled.

Not quite. The answer is the leftmost lane.

Usually, you should make a left turn from the leftmost lane.

Not quite. The answer is not pass the stopped vehicle.

When a vehicle ahead of you stops for a pedestrian, you must not pass the stopped vehicle even if there are two lanes available. This is a frequent hazard for pedestrians.

Not quite. The answer is 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 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 use a lower gear.

The continuous application of brakes to control speed on downgrades will cause the brakes to fade (lose their effectiveness). Instead, to control your speed on downgrades, release the accelerator (gas) pedal and shift into a lower gear (even with an automatic transmission). With the throttle closed, a partial vacuum is created in the engine's intake and cylinders that generates a braking effect to slow down the vehicle. This is known as engine braking. The lower the gear, the greater the engine braking effect. Apply the brakes only when engine braking is insufficient or you want to stop.
