  1. 1. A group has just stopped at a stop sign. How should the formation be restored?

    Show answer

    Answer B: Riders should pull away one at a time and take up the stagger once moving

    Motorcycles need room to pull away and get up to speed, so the staggered formation is taken up again only after the riders are rolling.

  2. 2. Another driver takes a right of way that was legally yours. What should you do?

    Show answer

    Answer A: Give way to the other driver and avoid the crash, whatever the law says

    Right of way is something you give, not something you take, and being in the right is no protection in a collision.

  3. 3. Blue pavement markings are used together with white markings at

    Show answer

    Answer D: parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities

    Blue supplements the white markings of accessible parking spaces, which is the only assignment blue has on the pavement.

  4. 4. Why should you avoid parking over tall dry grass or a pile of dead leaves?

    Show answer

    Answer B: Because the hot exhaust can set the dry material on fire

    The exhaust system stays hot for a long time after a drive and can ignite dry vegetation underneath the vehicle.

  5. 5. You are driving on a divided highway and see a solid yellow line along the left side of your lanes. What does it tell you?

    Show answer

    Answer D: It marks the left edge of the roadway for your direction

    On a divided highway or a one-way roadway, the left edge of the traveled way is marked with a solid yellow line.

  6. 6. What should you do as you approach your exit from a roundabout?

    Show answer

    Answer A: Signal right and check the crosswalk for pedestrians before leaving

    A right signal tells following drivers and waiting drivers that you are leaving, and pedestrians cross at the exit leg, so the crosswalk must be checked.

  7. 7. You are circulating in a roundabout and a vehicle is waiting to enter ahead of you. What should you do?

    Show answer

    Answer D: Keep going, because circulating traffic does not stop for entering vehicles

    Stopping in the circle to be polite surprises the drivers behind you and defeats the design; entering traffic is the side that waits.

  8. 8. You notice at night that one of your headlights has burned out. What should you do?

    Show answer

    Answer B: Get it replaced promptly, because other drivers may take you for a motorcycle

    A single light makes your vehicle look narrower and further away, so other drivers misjudge you, and one light is also illegal.

  9. 9. A warning sign showing two children on a see-saw is posted beside a residential street. What does it mean?

    Show answer

    Answer D: A play area lies beside the road and children may run out

    The playground sign warns that children are present next to the roadway and may enter it without looking, so drivers should cover the brake and slow down.

  10. 10. You have passed a large truck and want to move back into its lane. What should you see first?

    Show answer

    Answer B: Both of its headlights in your rear-view mirror

    Seeing both headlights in your mirror means you are far enough ahead to be out of the truck's front no-zone before you move over.

  11. 11. What is the purpose of a wide solid white line painted straight across your lane on the approach to an intersection?

    Show answer

    Answer C: It shows the point where a required stop must be made

    A stop line indicates the point at which the stop required by a signal or a stop sign is to be made, ahead of the crosswalk and the intersection.

  12. 12. For repeated driving-while-impaired convictions in Oklahoma (BAC above 0.05 but below 0.08), how does the license suspension escalate?

    Show answer

    Answer A: 30 days for the first, 6 months for the second, 1 year for the third

    Oklahoma escalates the license suspension for repeated driving-while-impaired convictions: 30 days for the first, 6 months for the second, and 1 year for the third.

  13. 13. In near freezing weather, which part of an otherwise clear road is most likely to still be icy?

    Show answer

    Answer D: A shaded dip under trees or beside a rock cut

    Sun clears most of the road, but shaded hollows never warm up and can hold ice long after the rest of the pavement is dry.

  14. 14. How far ahead should you normally be looking while driving?

    Show answer

    Answer D: About 12 to 15 seconds of travel ahead

    Looking that far ahead, roughly a block in town and much farther on a highway, gives you time to see a problem developing and adjust before it becomes an emergency.

  15. 15. In most states, how far before a turn must your signal already be on in city traffic?

    Show answer

    Answer B: At least 100 feet, roughly the length of six or seven cars

    Most states require the signal for at least 100 feet before a turn in city driving, which gives drivers behind you time to react before you slow; several require more at higher speeds.

  16. 16. 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.

  17. 17. Which sign shape is reserved for one message only, the requirement to stop?

    Show answer

    Answer A: The octagon

    The octagon is used for the stop sign and for no other message, so the outline alone identifies the requirement even when the legend is hard to read.

  18. 18. A row of solid white triangles points toward you across your lane. What does it mark?

    Show answer

    Answer A: The place to yield to traffic or people ahead

    A yield line of triangles shows drivers exactly where to give way, and it is used at roundabouts and at midblock crosswalks.

  19. 19. Why should a rider glance down at the sidestand before pulling away?

    Show answer

    Answer A: A stand left down can catch the road and lever the rear wheel off the ground

    A sidestand that is still down will dig into the pavement in a left turn and can lift the rear tire clear of the road.

  20. 20. The vehicle ahead of you has pulled out to pass a truck. May you follow it out and pass as well?

    Show answer

    Answer B: No, wait until it is done and judge the road for yourself

    You cannot see past the vehicle ahead of you, and if it has to abort the pass there is nowhere for either of you to go.
