Ohio BMV Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

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 B has turned correctly into the closest lane. Car A has incorrectly turned into the farthest lane.

Not quite. The answer is Car A

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 turned correctly into the closest lane and then merged into the far lane. Car B has incorrectly turned into the farthest lane.

Not quite. The answer is 100

In Ohio, passing is not permitted within 100 feet of an intersection or a railroad crossing.

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 set your parking brake.

Whenever you park your vehicle, you should set your parking brake to keep it from rolling. This is especially important when parking on upgrades or downgrades or near crosswalks. Even on level ground, there is always a chance that another vehicle could hit your vehicle from the front or rear, causing it to roll if the parking brake isn't set.

Not quite. The answer is not increase your speed

Under Ohio law, if you are being passed by another vehicle, you must maintain a constant speed and keep right until the other vehicle has safely passed.

Not quite. The answer is passing is never permitted.

A double solid yellow line means that no passing is allowed on either side.

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

Under Ohio 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 traffic merging ahead.

If you are on the main road and see this sign, be prepared for other vehicles entering your lane. Adjust your speed and position to allow these vehicles to merge safely.

Not quite. The answer is an entrance ramp

You must not use an entrance ramp or acceleration lane to exit a freeway, not even in a traffic jam.

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

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

Not quite. The answer is pull over to the right side of the road.

If your engine dies as you're driving on a curve, pull on the wheel with both hands and steer to the right side of the road. (If your car has power steering, loss of engine power will cause loss of power assist, so you will need to exert more force on the steering wheel.) Brake to a stop. (If your car has power brakes, loss of engine power will cause loss of power assist, so you will need to press the brake pedal extra hard.) Shift into park (for an automatic transmission) or neutral (for a manual transmission) and try to restart the engine.

Not quite. The answer is 10 feet

In Ohio, you are not allowed to park within 10 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 a median.

A barrier of grass, concrete, or other material separating opposing lanes of traffic on a divided roadway is known as a median. Medians are found on highways and some major streets. It is illegal to drive over, across, or on a median.

Not quite. The answer is pedestrians and oncoming vehicles.

Before turning left off a road, you must yield to all pedestrians and oncoming vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is oncoming vehicles.

When making a left turn at a controlled intersection (i.e., one with signs or signals), you must first yield to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians within the crosswalk or intersection.

Not quite. The answer is Left turns are prohibited.

On prohibitory signs, a red circle and slash mean "no." This sign means that left turns are prohibited here.

Not quite. The answer is No, you cannot park within 10 feet of a fire hydrant.

In Ohio, you are not allowed to park within 10 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 Go on to the next exit.

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

Not quite. The answer is Hand and arm extended upward

Be sure to make your intentions known to other drivers. Continue signaling until you are ready to make the actual turn. The correct hand signal for making a right turn is hand and arm extended upward.
