Not quite. The answer is A T-intersection is ahead; yield to cross traffic.

Not quite. The answer is leave at least half the road for vehicles going in the opposite direction.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic must make a left turn only.

Not quite. The answer is 200 feet

Under Vermont law, you must not use the opposing lane to pass another vehicle unless you can return to your original lane before any oncoming vehicle can come within 200 feet of you. Note: At higher speeds, even 200 feet is cutting it rather close. Suppose your vehicle and the oncoming vehicle are each traveling at 45 mph. The two vehicles will close a 200-foot distance in only 1.5 seconds before there is a head-on collision. At higher speeds, you shouldn't use the opposing lane to pass unless it will be clear for an even longer distance.

Not quite. The answer is Any of the above

If you plan to consume alcohol, also plan to use public transportation, a taxi, or a designated driver to get home.

Not quite. The answer is Middle lanes

Smooth driving allows you to keep more distance between yourself and other drivers. It also helps save gas. Where there are three or more lanes going in one 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.
