-

-
3. Should you drive with your hazard lights flashing while moving in fog?
Show answer
Answer A: No, they hide your turn signals and suggest you are stopped
Hazard lights on a moving vehicle tell other drivers you are stopped or disabled, and they cancel out your turn signals just when clarity matters most.
-
4. About how far does a vehicle travel in one second at 60 mph?
Show answer
Answer A: About 88 feet
At 60 mph you cover about 88 feet every second, which is why a glance of only two or three seconds means driving the length of several vehicles blind.
-
5. Children are playing close to the edge of a residential street. What is the right speed choice?
Show answer
Answer D: Well below the limit, slow enough to stop for a sudden dash
Children can step out without warning, so the safe speed is the one that lets you stop within the distance you can see to be clear.
-
6. A raised area crosses the roadway and carries a series of white markings on its face. What are those markings for?
Show answer
Answer A: To make the hump visible so drivers slow for it
Speed hump markings warn drivers that the pavement rises, which matters most at night or when the hump is in shadow.
-
7. Where is the safest place for children under 13 to ride?
Show answer
Answer C: In the back seat
The back seat keeps children away from the force of a deploying front air bag and is farther from the most common impact area, which is why it is recommended through at least age 12.
-
8. You are stopped inside an intersection waiting for a gap to turn left. How should your front wheels be positioned?
Show answer
Answer C: Pointing straight ahead until you actually begin the turn
If your wheels are already turned left and another vehicle strikes you from behind, you would be pushed into oncoming traffic.
-
9. A yellow diamond reading DIP warns a driver about
Show answer
Answer A: a short, sharp depression in the road surface
A dip is an abrupt low point that can jolt a vehicle or scrape its underside, so speed should be reduced before reaching it.
-
10. After a crash your door will not open and you need to get out of the car. What should you try?
Show answer
Answer B: Try another door of the vehicle, or a window that will still open properly
A jammed door is common after an impact, and the simplest escape is a different door or a window rather than forcing the damaged one.
-
11. A deer suddenly steps onto the road ahead of you at night. What is the safest response?
Show answer
Answer C: Brake firmly and stay in your lane rather than swerving
Swerving at speed often leads to a rollover or a head-on crash that is far worse than hitting the animal. Brake hard, hold your lane and expect more deer to follow.
-
12. A yellow horizontal rectangular sign showing one large arrow pointing left or right, facing traffic on the far side of a sharp bend, tells the driver
Show answer
Answer C: which way the roadway turns at that point
The large arrow sign is mounted on the outside of a sharp change in alignment so that a driver approaching head on immediately sees which way the road goes.
-
13. Your right wheels have dropped onto a soft shoulder. Why should you not steer straight back onto the pavement?
Show answer
Answer A: The tires can catch the pavement edge and throw you across the road
A tire pressed against the edge of the pavement climbs it suddenly, and at speed that jolt can send the vehicle across the center line.
-
14. You are following another vehicle down a long, steep grade. What should you do about the gap?
Show answer
Answer D: Make it longer, because both of you need more room to stop
Everything takes longer to stop on a downgrade, including the vehicle ahead, so the gap that works on the flat is no longer enough.
-
15. What does a booster seat do for a child?
Show answer
Answer B: It lifts the child so that the adult belt crosses hips and shoulder
A booster raises the child so the adult belt lies on the strong parts of the body instead of the neck and the abdomen.
-
16. What is the youngest age at which an Oklahoma learner permit can be issued?
Show answer
Answer B: 15, while enrolled in an approved driver education course
Oklahoma issues a learner permit at 15 to an applicant who is enrolled in and receiving instruction from an approved driver education course; without driver education the applicant must be 16.
-
17. You have fitted the small temporary spare tire after a flat. What should you keep in mind?
Show answer
Answer C: It is meant for low speed and short distances until the regular tire is repaired
Compact spares have limited grip, handling and durability. Follow the speed and distance limits printed on the tire and get the regular tire fixed soon.
-
18. You are about to open your door after parking on the traffic side of the street. What should you do first?
Show answer
Answer C: Check the mirror and look back for approaching vehicles and bicyclists before opening the door
A door opened into traffic can strike a passing bicyclist or vehicle, so you check behind you first and keep the door open no longer than necessary.
-
19. You receive a phone call that you feel you must answer while driving. What is the safest way to take it?
Show answer
Answer D: Pull off the road, stop in a safe place and then answer
No call is worth a crash. Stopping in a safe location removes the distraction completely, while every other option divides your attention.
-
20. You have stopped at a stop sign, but a parked truck blocks your view along the cross street. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Creep forward slowly and stop again where you can see
When something blocks the view, a second stop closer to the intersection is the only safe way to see, and it must come before your vehicle enters the traffic lane.
