2. A driver sees this sign on a quiet road with no other traffic in either direction. What is the correct response?
Show answer
Answer C: Slow down, look and listen for a train, and be ready to stop
The sign gives advance notice of a highway-rail grade crossing, so the driver reduces speed, checks both directions along the tracks and keeps enough room to stop short of the rails.
-
3. A power line has fallen across your vehicle after a crash. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Stay inside and wait for utility workers unless fire forces you out
The vehicle body may be energized, and touching it and the ground at the same time can be fatal. If you must leave because of fire, jump clear with both feet together and shuffle away.
-
4. In which situation should you increase your usual following distance?
Show answer
Answer B: On wet roads, at night, in fog, when towing a trailer, or when following a motorcycle
Reduced traction, reduced visibility, a heavier load and a vehicle that can stop faster than yours all require extra space to keep the same margin of safety.
-
5. How much should you normally reduce your speed on a road covered with packed snow compared with dry conditions?
Show answer
Answer C: By about half
Packed snow roughly doubles the distance needed to stop, so a common guideline is to cut speed by about half. On ice, slow to a crawl.
-
6. How many points does a conviction for driving left of center or the wrong way on a one-way street add to an Oklahoma driving record?

-
8. What do flashing yellow lights on a school bus mean?
Show answer
Answer A: The bus is about to stop to load or unload, so prepare to stop
The amber lights are the warning phase that comes before the red lights and the stop arm, so drivers should slow down and get ready to stop.
-
9. The gates at a railroad crossing are down, and you can see that the road beyond them is clear. What is the correct action?
Show answer
Answer A: Wait until the gates rise completely and the lights go out
Lowered gates mean rail traffic is expected, and driving around them removes the only protection the crossing provides.
-
10. You have signaled and pulled up level with the car in front of an empty curb space. What comes next?
Show answer
Answer A: Reverse slowly while turning the wheel toward the curb
From alongside the forward car you back in on a turn toward the curb, then straighten and swing the front in as the rear reaches the space.
-
11. A white arrow painted in your lane points only to the right, and a sign above the lane shows the same movement. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Turn right from that lane
Pavement arrows used with lane-use signs are regulatory, so a driver occupying that lane must make the movement shown.
-
12. You have started to pass and you see the no-passing zone beginning ahead. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Ease off, drop back and return to your own lane
A pass must be completed before the no-passing zone starts. If it will not fit, abandon it and slot back in behind.
-
13. Why would this sign be installed on an approach?
Show answer
Answer B: Because the signal cannot be seen from far enough back for a driver to react in time
Advance notice of a signal is used where a crest, a curve, trees or a building keep the signal heads out of view until a driver is already too close to stop comfortably.
-
14. You are towing a loaded trailer for the first time. How should you drive?
Show answer
Answer A: Slow earlier and keep a longer following gap
A trailer adds weight and length, so stopping takes longer and every maneuver needs more room and more warning.
-
15. In Oklahoma, what is simple possession of a fraudulent or counterfeit proof-of-insurance form classified as?
Show answer
Answer B: A misdemeanor, which can bring a fine and mandatory suspension
Simple possession of a fraudulent or counterfeit security verification form in Oklahoma is a misdemeanor that can bring a fine of up to $250 and mandatory suspension of driving privilege and registration.
-
16. What does a NARROW BRIDGE warning sign tell a driver?
Show answer
Answer A: The bridge is tighter than the road leading up to it
A narrow bridge still carries both directions, but with much less clearance than the approaches, so drivers should slow and hold their lane position carefully.
-
17. You are driving on a road covered with a layer of wet fallen leaves. What should you expect?
Show answer
Answer B: As little grip as on ice, plus hidden markings and hidden holes
Wet leaves are as slippery as ice and they hide the lane lines and any potholes underneath, so slow well before curves and stops.
-
18. How much following distance should you keep behind a motorcycle?
Show answer
Answer C: At least three to four seconds
A motorcycle can slow or stop very quickly and is easily upset by a surprise, so allow three to four seconds instead of the usual car gap.
-
19. Why should you dim the instrument panel and keep interior lights off when driving at night?
Show answer
Answer C: Bright light inside the vehicle reduces your ability to see the dark road ahead
Your eyes adapt to the brightest light they see. A bright cabin keeps them from adjusting to the darkness outside and creates reflections on the windshield.
-
20. The gates at a railroad crossing begin to come down as you approach. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Stop and wait until the gates are fully raised and the lights stop flashing
Once the gates start down you must stop clear of the tracks and wait until they are fully raised and the warning lights have stopped.
