Montana MVD Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is from your left and no oncoming traffic turning left into your path.

Before turning right at an intersection, make sure that there is no traffic approaching from your left and no oncoming traffic turning left into your path. Yield to pedestrians who are crossing the road that you are going to enter.

Not quite. The answer is four times.

If you double your speed, your braking distance becomes not twice as long but four times as long. If you triple your speed, your braking distance will be nine times as long.

Not quite. The answer is You must not make a right turn.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign indicates that no right turns are allowed at the sign.

Not quite. The answer is from your left and no oncoming traffic turning left into your path.

Before turning right at an intersection, make sure that there is no traffic approaching from your left and no oncoming traffic turning left into your path. Yield to pedestrians who are crossing the road that you are going to enter.

Not quite. The answer is the rightmost lane.

On a highway with four or more lanes, slower traffic should use the rightmost lane.

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 one block ahead.

When you drive in city traffic, you should try to look at least one block ahead. In the city, 10 seconds is about one block.

Not quite. The answer is Car B

When you turn, you should cross as few lanes as possible unless signs or pavement markings indicate otherwise. That is, you should turn left from the left lane and turn right from the right lane, and you should turn into the closest lane of traffic that is moving in the right direction. Here, Car A has incorrectly turned into the far lane. Car B has turned correctly into the closest lane.

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

According to Montana 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. Also, you may not make a U-turn where signs prohibit doing so.

Not quite. The answer is the middle or left lane.

If you are driving faster than other traffic on a freeway, you should use the middle or left lane.

Not quite. The answer is Exit ramps

Exit ramps allow vehicles to leave expressways. There is often a lower speed posted at an exit ramp.

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 can be dangerous.

Not quite. The answer is This driver intends to turn right.

This driver is signaling to turn right.

Not quite. The answer is return to your original lane

When passing another vehicle, do not return to your original lane until you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rear-view mirror. (A recent survey on aggressive driving by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that about one out of four American drivers had deliberately tried to block another vehicle from changing lanes.) Signal a right turn to return to the original lane.

Not quite. The answer is stop and yield to vehicles on the main road.

Vehicles on the main road have the right-of-way. Drivers entering a main road from a driveway, alley, or roadside must stop and yield to vehicles already on the main road.

Not quite. The answer is do all of the above.

If it feels like your tires have lost traction with the surface of the road, you should ease your foot off the gas pedal and keep the steering wheel straight. Do not turn except in an emergency. (If you must turn, do it slowly, or else your vehicle may skid.) Do not try to stop or turn until your tires are gripping the road again.

Not quite. The answer is Where there are no signs to control turning, you must turn into the lane farthest from the one you came from.

Where there are no signs or lane markings to control turning, you should turn from the lane that is closest to the direction you want to go and turn into the lane closest to the one you came from. This way, you will cross the fewest lanes of traffic.

Not quite. The answer is interchange

An interchange is a road junction where two or more roads cross over one another (i.e., at different levels) so as not to impede one another's traffic flow. Instead, the roads are connected through a series of connecting ramps. These ramps allow you to leave one road and enter another one safely, without disrupting the flow of traffic. There are diamond, cloverleaf, and folded diamond interchanges, among others.

Not quite. The answer is This driver intends to slow down or stop.

This driver intends to slow down or stop.
