8. At an intersection where turning on a red arrow is not permitted, the signal shows a red left arrow next to a steady green ball. What may you do?

Show answer
Answer D: Drop back to give yourself room to build speed before you pull out

11. What do flashing yellow lights on a school bus mean?

-
12. What does a steady yellow traffic light tell the driver facing it?
Show answer
Answer A: The green movement is ending and a red indication is about to appear

-
18. A driver holds a steady highway speed into the section this sign warns about. What is the most likely result?
Show answer
Answer B: The vehicle runs wide toward the outside and can cross into another lane or leave the pavement
Holding speed into a change of alignment asks the tires for more side grip than they can supply, so the vehicle runs wide and the driver is left with less room to correct.
-
19. Why is a wet road at night harder to read than the same road in daylight?
Show answer
Answer A: The wet surface reflects light away and swallows the lane markings
A film of water sends your headlight beam onward instead of back to you, so lines, edges and people in dark clothing almost disappear.
