1. Four vehicles reach a four-way stop from all four directions at the same instant. How is the deadlock resolved?
Show answer
Answer C: Each driver yields to the vehicle on the right and they go one by one
Yielding to the right applies to every driver, so the group untangles itself as drivers take turns rather than moving together.
-
2. You are traveling beside another vehicle on a multilane highway at nearly the same speed. Why is this a poor position?
Show answer
Answer B: You may be sitting in that driver's blind spot with nowhere to go if they move over
Driving alongside removes your side escape route and often puts you where the other driver cannot see you. Speed up or drop back to open space beside you.
-
3. You reach a four-way stop after another driver has already stopped there. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Let the driver who stopped first proceed before you go
At a four-way stop the vehicles proceed in the order they arrived, so a driver who stopped before you goes first.
-
4. What does the choke, or enrichener, do on a motorcycle that has one?
Show answer
Answer B: It gives the engine a richer fuel mixture so a cold engine will start
A cold engine needs more fuel in proportion to air, and the choke supplies that richer mixture until the engine warms up.
-
5. Why should riders avoid the center strip of the lane, especially where traffic stops often?
Show answer
Answer A: Because it collects oil and grease dripped from other vehicles
Drippings from other vehicles build up in the center of the lane, and the buildup is heaviest at busy intersections and toll booths where traffic sits waiting.
-
6. Oklahoma has legalized cannabis for some medical purposes. What does this mean for driving with cannabis in one's system?
Show answer
Answer D: It is illegal to drive with any detectable level of cannabis in the system
Even though Oklahoma has legalized cannabis for some medical purposes, it remains illegal for anyone to drive with any detectable level of cannabis in their system.
-
7. How may a two-way left-turn lane never be used?
Show answer
Answer B: As a through travel lane or a passing lane
The lane exists only for turning movements, so traveling or passing along it puts you head-on with vehicles turning from the opposite direction.
-
8. What should you confirm about your saddlebags before riding away?
Show answer
Answer A: That both are latched shut and neither is overloaded
An unlatched or overstuffed bag can swing open or sag into the rear wheel or the exhaust, either of which can wreck the machine's handling at once.
-
9. The vehicle you have borrowed is larger and heavier than your own. How should you drive it?
Show answer
Answer B: Allow more room for stopping and for turns until you are used to it
Extra weight and length mean longer stopping distances and wider turns, so give yourself more room until you are used to it.
-
10. What does Oklahoma law say about sending text messages while driving?
Show answer
Answer A: It has been illegal since 2015 for all drivers
Texting while driving has been illegal in Oklahoma since 2015, and commercial and public transit drivers are also barred from making hand held phone calls while driving.
-
11. Which items belong to the Controls step of the T-CLOCS inspection?
Show answer
Answer D: Handlebars, levers, cables, hoses and the throttle
The Controls step covers everything the rider operates by hand or foot, plus the cables and hoses that carry those inputs to the machine.
-
12. A yellow diamond shows the two edges of the road pinching toward each other. What does it mean?
Show answer
Answer B: The pavement gets narrower but the lanes continue
The road narrows sign warns that the traveled way becomes tighter, leaving less room beside passing vehicles even though no lane is dropped.
-
13. Your light turns green and a driver on the cross street enters against a red. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Hold back and let that vehicle go through
Giving up a right of way you are entitled to is the only way to avoid a crash with a driver who has already failed to yield.
-
14. You have just passed a large truck on the freeway. Why is it dangerous to pull back in front of it and then brake for your exit?
Show answer
Answer B: A loaded truck needs much more distance to stop than a car
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can need the length of a football field or more to stop from highway speed. Cutting in and braking leaves the driver no room to avoid hitting you.
-
15. What is the correct way to secure a load on a motorcycle?
Show answer
Answer C: Fasten it with elastic cords using several attachment points and check it at every stop
Several attachment points hold the load tight so it cannot shift or fall into the wheel or the chain, and checking at stops catches a load that has worked loose.
-
16. An orange sign showing the symbol of a person holding a flag or a sign paddle means that
Show answer
Answer D: a person is controlling traffic ahead and the driver must obey that person
The flagger sign warns that a trained flagger is directing traffic further on, and the flagger's instructions govern movement through the work zone.
-
17. You are descending a long steep grade with a loaded truck close behind you. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Hold a steady speed and let it pass when it can
Gravity pushes a loaded truck downhill and it cannot slow quickly, so give it a predictable speed and room to get by rather than braking in front of it.
-
18. A reduced speed limit posted with this sign and a plaque giving hours is in force
Show answer
Answer C: during the hours shown on the plaque, or while the beacon is flashing
A school speed limit applies during the periods stated on the plaque or while the attached beacon flashes, and the regular limit governs outside those periods.
-
19. A driver passes this sign on an entrance ramp while merging onto a freeway. Who has priority?
Show answer
Answer B: The traffic already traveling on the freeway
The sign places the duty on the entering driver, who must adjust speed and fit into a gap without forcing through traffic to brake or swerve.
-
20. You are in the middle lane of a one-way street with three lanes when a police car approaches from behind with lights and siren. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Pull to the nearest curb and stop clear of the lanes
On a one-way street you clear to whichever curb is closest, so the emergency vehicle gets a clear path down the open lanes.
