1. You have stopped on an uphill grade close behind a large truck at a traffic signal. What is the risk?
Show answer
Answer B: The truck may roll back into you when it starts to move
Heavy vehicles can roll backward a short distance when the driver moves from the brake to the accelerator on a hill. Leave extra room when stopped behind a truck on a grade.
-
2. During the reversing part of a three-point turn, where should you be looking?
Show answer
Answer C: Over your shoulder through the rear window, glancing both ways
You look through the rear window in the direction the car is moving, checking both ways for traffic and people, because mirrors and cameras leave blind areas.
-
3. You feel drowsy, so you open a window and turn the radio up. What does that achieve?
Show answer
Answer B: Very little, because the drowsiness comes back
Cold air and loud music are not sleep, so the alerting effect lasts a minute or two and the driver is soon just as sleepy and closer to a lapse.
-
4. On a two-way street, where and how should you park at the curb?
Show answer
Answer C: On the right side, facing the way traffic moves
On a two-way street you must park on the right, headed in the direction of travel; parking facing traffic is prohibited.
-
5. You are turning left into a street that is divided by a raised median. Which side should you enter?
Show answer
Answer C: The right-hand roadway, so that you travel on the proper side
A raised median separates two directions of travel, so the turn must be completed into the roadway carrying traffic your way.
-
6. You are stopped at a stop sign on a two-way stop intersection and the cross street has no stop signs at all. What does that mean for you?
Show answer
Answer A: You yield to all cross traffic no matter how long that takes
At a two-way stop only your direction is controlled, so there is no taking turns; you wait for a gap big enough to enter safely.
-
7. What light colors on a stationary licensed Class AA wrecker trigger Oklahoma's Move Over Law?
Show answer
Answer C: A flashing combination of red or blue lights
Oklahoma's Move Over Law covers a licensed Class AA wrecker displaying a flashing combination of red or blue lights, the same duty owed to law enforcement and emergency vehicles.
-
8. You are about to pass a large truck on a two-lane highway. Which practice is correct?
Show answer
Answer A: Finish the pass without delay and expect wind turbulence beside the truck
Lingering beside a truck keeps you in its blind spot and exposes you to air turbulence. Pass on the left, keep moving, and move back only when you can see the whole truck in your mirror.
-

Show answer
Answer A: A fine of up to $654 and up to 30 days in jail

-
10. You need to reverse direction on a busy street. Which choice is usually safest?
Show answer
Answer D: Driving around the block and using the intersections instead
Going around the block uses normal turns at controlled intersections instead of stopping across live traffic lanes.
-
11. Red pavement markings are used on a roadway to show that
Show answer
Answer A: it must not be entered from that direction
Red markings identify a roadway that is not to be entered or used, and they also mark the pavement of truck escape ramps.
-
12. A driver extends the left arm out the window and bends it upward at the elbow. What does this signal mean?
Show answer
Answer B: A right turn
The left arm bent upward at the elbow is the standard hand signal for a right turn.
-
13. You are backing straight down a driveway while looking over your right shoulder. Where should your left hand be?
Show answer
Answer C: At the top of the steering wheel, holding it with a firm grip
With one hand at the top of the wheel you can hold a straight course and make small corrections while your body is turned to look behind.
-
14. You arrive at a four-way stop after two other vehicles have already stopped there. When is it your turn?
Show answer
Answer A: After both of the earlier vehicles have gone
Vehicles clear a four-way stop in the order they arrived, so the third driver to stop is the third to go.
-
15. You arrive at an intersection with no signs, no signals and no markings at the same time as a vehicle on the road to your right. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Yield to the vehicle on your right
At an uncontrolled intersection you must yield to a vehicle already in the intersection or approaching from your right.
-
16. Someone appears seriously injured after a crash. What should you generally do?
Show answer
Answer C: Call for emergency help and avoid moving the person unless there is an immediate danger such as fire
Moving an injured person can worsen spinal or internal injuries, so summon trained help and leave the person in place unless staying there is more dangerous than moving.
-
17. You get into a heated argument with a passenger while driving. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: End the discussion or pull over to finish it
Anger narrows attention and encourages risk, and a conversation you cannot let go of is a passenger you should be parked to talk with.
-
18. Where is this sign installed in relation to the hazard it announces?
Show answer
Answer A: Far enough before the hazard that a driver can slow down and stop short of it
This is an advance warning sign, placed on the approach so a driver has time to react before reaching a crossing that a curve or a crest may be hiding.
-
19. A sign on a freeway restricts trucks to the two right-hand lanes. What should a car driver expect in those lanes?
Show answer
Answer A: More heavy vehicles and slower changes of speed
A truck lane restriction concentrates heavy vehicles on the right, and those vehicles accelerate, brake and change lanes far more slowly than cars.
-
20. On an Oklahoma expressway, what is the usual minimum speed a driver must maintain?
Show answer
Answer D: 40 mph
Oklahoma expressways carry a usual minimum speed of about 40 mph, and driving too slowly is against the law because it is dangerous.
