Kentucky KSP Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Start from the lane closest to where you want to go.

Start from the lane closest to where you want to go. If you are turning left, pull out toward the midpoint of the intersection and wait with wheels straight until it's clear to turn. Keep just left of the midpoint as you turn. If you are turning right, start from the right lane, keeping as close to the curb as possible.

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 reverse.

When you park a vehicle, you should set the transmission to keep the vehicle from rolling if its brakes fail. If your vehicle is facing downhill, it might roll forward. Therefore, you should put an automatic transmission in park and a manual transmission in reverse. Always set your parking brake as well.

Not quite. The answer is shifting your eyes from one area of the roadway to another.

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 are dangerous.

Not quite. The answer is This lane is reserved for certain purposes or certain vehicles.

The diamond-shaped marking means that this lane is reserved for certain purposes or certain vehicles. Such lanes are usually reserved for buses or carpool vehicles in rush hour traffic.

Not quite. The answer is Right

When you park facing uphill without a curb, you should point your wheels to the right. If your brakes fail, the vehicle will roll away from traffic. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear.

Not quite. The answer is as close to the right as possible

When approaching an intersection to make a right turn, stay as close to the right as possible. Make the turn close to the right curb.

Not quite. The answer is faster tire wear.

Worn or bald tires can increase your stopping distance and make turning more difficult when the road is wet. Unbalanced tires and low tire pressures cause faster tire wear and reduced fuel economy and make the vehicle harder to steer and stop.

Not quite. The answer is exercise their eyes

Highway hypnosis or dizziness when driving is caused by the monotony of road and traffic, the hum of wind, tires, and the sound of engine. Drivers can avoid highway hypnosis by constantly moving their eyes and watching the traffic and highway signs around them.

Not quite. The answer is slow down before entering the curve.

To handle a curve, slow down before you enter the curve so that you will not need to brake in the curve. Braking in a curve can cause a skid.

Not quite. The answer is in a middle lane

Where there are three or more lanes in each direction, the middle lanes usually offer the smoothest flow of traffic. The left lane is for drivers who want to go faster, pass, or turn left. Slower vehicles and those turning right should use the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is Continue on to the next exit.

If you miss your exit on an expressway, do not stop, back up, or try to turn around. Doing so would greatly increase the likelihood of a collision. Instead, continue to the next exit.

Not quite. The answer is slow down or stop.

In Kentucky, you may only use hand signals if your vehicle does not have working turn signals. For a right turn, the left hand and arm are bent at 90 degrees and pointing up. For a left turn, the left hand and arm are extended straight out to the left. To slow down or stop, the left hand and arm are bent at 90 degrees and pointing down.

Not quite. The answer is Move into the proper lane well before the turn.

The first rule for a safe and legal turn is to move into the proper lane well before the turn. To turn left, move into the leftmost lane unless signs, signals, or road markings indicate otherwise. To turn right, move into the rightmost lane unless signs, signals, or road markings indicate otherwise.

Not quite. The answer is the car on the right has the right-of-way.

When two cars reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, the car on the right has the right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is the hand-over-hand technique.

When making a right turn, look right and left, yield the right-of-way, and turn the steering wheel hand-over-hand to complete the turn in the lane next to the curb.

Not quite. The answer is middle lanes

When there are three or more lanes going in the same direction on a highway, the middle lanes usually offer the smoothest flow of traffic. The left lane is for passing. The right lane is for slower vehicles and vehicles that are entering or exiting the roadway.

Not quite. The answer is passing.

The left lane on a highway is used for passing. If a vehicle wants to pass you, you must move safely to the right. Do not increase your speed until the other vehicle has passed you.

Not quite. The answer is Away from the curb

When you park facing uphill, you should point your wheels away from the curb and then roll back slowly so that the rear part of the right front wheel rests against the curb. If your brakes fail, the curb will block your car from rolling. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear.

Not quite. The answer is the left lane.

Where there are three or more lanes in each direction, the middle lanes usually offer the smoothest flow of traffic. The left lane is for drivers who want to go faster, pass, or turn left. Slower vehicles and those turning right should use the right lane.
