Check understanding of right-of-way, speed, following distance, and lane changes.

Multiple Choice

#

Right-of-way at simultaneous all-way stop arrival (two vehicles side-by-side) generally goes to:

Vehicle on the right

Vehicle on the left

Larger vehicle

Vehicle signaling first

Tie goes to right-hand vehicle (verify guide specificity).

#

Primary reason for increasing following distance in rain:

Reduced traction & longer stopping distance

Better radio reception

Road markings clearer

Fuel economy improvement

Traction loss demands more buffer.

#

Advisory speed sign on curve indicates:

Suggested safe speed under typical conditions

Mandatory minimum

Maximum enforceable limit

Speed for heavy vehicles only

Guidance for safe negotiation.

#

Correct lane change sequence:

Mirror, signal, shoulder check, adjust, move

Signal, move, mirror, shoulder

Shoulder only

Accelerate, move, signal

Sequence reduces blind spot conflicts.

#

Left-turning vehicle must yield to:

Oncoming straight/right-turning traffic

Vehicles behind it

Pedestrians far from intersection

Parked cars

Standard yielding rule improves intersection flow.

True / False

#

Basic speed law may require driving below posted limit.

True

False

Conditions dictate safe speed.

#

Lingering in a truck's blind spot is safe if you maintain speed.

False

True

Blind spots hide you; pass or drop back.

#

Yielding when uncertain can prevent collisions.

True

False

Defensive courtesy reduces conflict.

#

Signaling is optional under basic speed law.

False

True

Signals communicate intent regardless of speed.

#

Advisory speeds are enforceable like posted limits.

False

True

They suggest caution; not absolute limits.

Scenario / Think & Reveal

1. Heavy fog reduces visibility far below posted-limit assumptions. What should you adjust?

Reduce speed below posted, increase following distance, heighten scanning, and avoid sudden maneuvers.

2. Driver merges late with turn signal on and limited gap. How respond?

Create space by adjusting speed slightly; defensive yielding prevents abrupt braking.

3. Preparing to lane change but shoulder check reveals a fast approach. Action?

Abort maneuver; maintain lane until safe gap returns.

4. All-way stop: You arrive same time as vehicle to your right. What do you do?

Yield; allow right vehicle to proceed, then go when clear.

5. Advisory speed 35 mph on offramp; surface wet & traffic dense. Apply?

Reduce slightly below advisory; smooth deceleration; avoid abrupt steering.
