4. Your vehicle leaves the road and enters deep water. What gives you the best chance of escape?
Show answer
Answer B: Release your seat belt and get out through a window as quickly as possible
Water pressure holds the doors shut, so a window is the reliable exit and the first seconds after entry are the best time to use it.
-
5. When parking on a hill in Oklahoma using the parallel parking method, how close to the curb must the vehicle stop?
Show answer
Answer D: Within 6 inches of the curb
The Oklahoma Driver Manual instructs a driver parking on a hill to parallel park within 6 inches of the curb before bracing the wheels against it.
-
6. You realize your tires are running on ice. Which set of inputs is safest?
Show answer
Answer C: Gentle steering, no sudden braking, and no sudden acceleration
Whatever grip is left is used up at once by any sudden input, so every movement of wheel, brake and accelerator must be slow and small.
-
7. The brake warning light stays on even though the parking brake is fully released. What does it indicate?
Show answer
Answer B: A possible brake system problem, so have the brakes checked promptly
The brake warning light also signals low brake fluid or a failure in one part of the hydraulic system. Do not ignore it, because braking may be reduced.
-
8. A sign reads MINIMUM SPEED 40. What does it require of a driver?
Show answer
Answer C: Not to drive below that speed when conditions allow
A minimum speed limit keeps unnecessarily slow vehicles from obstructing traffic, but it never overrides the duty to slow down for weather or congestion.
-
9. You are behind a snow plow working on a highway. What is the correct way to drive?
Show answer
Answer C: Stay well back and do not try to pass it
A plow throws snow, runs wider than its body and works on the poor surface ahead of it, so the cleared road behind it is the safest place to be.
-
10. A highway lane is marked with a large white diamond and signed as a high-occupancy vehicle lane. Who may use it?
Show answer
Answer B: Only vehicles carrying at least the number of occupants shown on the sign, during the posted hours
The diamond marking identifies a preferential lane whose occupancy requirement and hours of operation are stated on the accompanying signs.
-
11. Do hazard lights make it legal to leave your vehicle in a no parking zone?
Show answer
Answer A: No, they warn other drivers but do not permit the parking
Hazard lights are a warning device, not a permit; the parking restriction applies whether they are flashing or not.
-
12. A wide solid white line separates the through lanes from an exit lane. What does it tell drivers?
Show answer
Answer B: The choice of lane should already have been made
A channelizing line marks where the paths separate and crossing it is discouraged or prohibited, so the lane change has to happen upstream.
-
13. What can a loose or doubled up floor mat on the driver side cause?
Show answer
Answer A: It can slide forward and trap the accelerator pedal down
An unsecured mat, or a second mat laid over the first, can slip forward and hold the accelerator open. Use the mat clips and never stack mats.
-
14. When is it appropriate to use cruise control?
Show answer
Answer B: On a dry, open highway with light traffic
Cruise control suits steady conditions where you rarely need to change speed. It is a poor choice in traffic, on curves, on slippery roads or when drowsy, because it removes you from the speed decision.
-
15. Where curb parking is allowed in Oklahoma and no yellow curb or sign prohibits it, how close to the curb must a parallel-parked vehicle be?
Show answer
Answer A: Within 18 inches of the curb
The Oklahoma Driver Manual instructs that, absent a prohibiting sign or yellow curb, a vehicle may park parallel to any curb and must be within 18 inches of it.
-
16. Your car has side curtain airbags. What should you avoid doing?
Show answer
Answer B: Resting your head against the window or the door pillar
A side airbag deploys from the pillar or roof rail, so a head leaning against that area is directly in its path.
-
17. A sign with a brown background and a white legend guides road users to
Show answer
Answer B: parks, campgrounds and other recreational or cultural sites
Brown is reserved for recreational and cultural interest area signing, such as parks, historic sites and scenic areas.
-
18. Is it safe to check your phone while stopped at a red light?
Show answer
Answer B: No, you may miss the signal change and hazards around you
Attention does not return instantly when the light changes, and emergency vehicles, pedestrians or a rear-end threat can appear while you are stopped. Stay focused on the road.
-
19. You are approaching a yield sign and no other vehicle is anywhere in sight. What does the sign require?
Show answer
Answer A: Slow down and be ready to stop, but stop only if needed
A yield sign requires you to slow and give way, and to stop only when traffic or pedestrians make stopping necessary.
-
20. Which vehicle is most affected by a strong side wind?
Show answer
Answer D: A van or a car towing a tall trailer
Wind pushes against the side area of a vehicle, so tall boxy shapes and trailers are moved far more than low heavy ones.
