1. You are driving in the left lane at the posted speed limit and a line of vehicles has built up behind you. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Move into a lane on your right when it is safe and let the traffic behind go by
Most states require traffic moving slower than the flow to keep right and reserve the left lane for passing, so a driver holding up a line of vehicles should move right when it is safe rather than block the lane.
-
2. A lane control sign over one lane shows both a straight arrow and a left arrow. What does it tell drivers in that lane?
Show answer
Answer A: Either movement may be made from that lane
An optional movement lane control sign lists every movement permitted from the lane, so a driver may choose any arrow shown.
-
3. Where should the rider be looking during a U-turn?
Show answer
Answer B: All the way around toward the point where the turn will finish
A motorcycle follows the eyes, so turning the head to the exit of the turn keeps the machine coming round instead of drifting wide.
-
4. A yellow diamond showing two vertical arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down, warns that
Show answer
Answer A: the road ahead carries traffic in both directions
The two-way traffic sign warns that the roadway ahead is not divided and that vehicles will be coming from the opposite direction.
-
5. A bicyclist ahead of you puts the left arm straight out to the side. What is being signaled?
Show answer
Answer B: A left turn or a move to the left
The left arm held straight out is the bicycle signal for a left turn, so hold back and give the rider room to cross toward the center.
-
6. Every signal head at an intersection is flashing red in all directions. How should you treat the intersection?
Show answer
Answer C: As an all-way stop, stopping and then going in turn
Red flashing in every direction means each approach must stop, so the intersection works exactly like an all-way stop.
-
7. How should your speed behave while you move from one lane into the next?
Show answer
Answer C: Keep it steady or adjust it smoothly to match the traffic in the new lane
A lane change works best as a smooth movement at the speed of the lane you are joining, since sudden braking or acceleration surprises the drivers around you.
-
8. How should you position your vehicle for a right turn from a two-way street?
Show answer
Answer B: As close as practical to the right curb or edge, then turn into the nearest right lane
Right turns are made from the lane nearest the right edge into the nearest available lane, which keeps the turn tight and prevents a wide sweep into other traffic.
-
9. A sign with a blue background and a white legend and border tells road users about
Show answer
Answer A: services such as fuel, food, lodging, hospitals and rest areas
Blue is the background of the general service series, which points travelers toward the services available along or near the route.
-
10. Where is passing prohibited even when no line is visible?
Show answer
Answer D: On a curve or near the crest of a hill, at intersections and at railroad crossings
Passing is prohibited wherever your view of oncoming traffic is blocked or where vehicles may cross your path, which includes hills, curves, intersections and rail crossings.
-
11. What is the most effective way for a rider to be seen by other drivers?
Show answer
Answer C: Wear brightly colored reflective gear, or a reflective vest over dark clothing
The most common thing drivers say after a collision with a motorcycle is that they never saw it, and bright reflective gear on the helmet and torso is the largest visible surface the rider controls.
-
12. What should the operator do before a bump, a sharp turn or a sudden stop?
Show answer
Answer C: Warn the passenger so they can brace for it
A warning lets the passenger tighten their grip and prepare, which keeps the passenger weight from shifting unexpectedly at the worst moment.
-
13. While you swerve around an obstacle, what should the rest of your body be doing?
Show answer
Answer C: Staying upright with the knees against the tank while the motorcycle leans
A swerve happens through the handlebars, and a body that stays still and anchored to the tank lets the motorcycle move quickly beneath the rider.
-
14. Which color scheme is standard for the drums and barricades that channel traffic through a work zone?
Show answer
Answer C: Alternating orange and white retroreflective stripes
Drums and barricades carry alternating orange and white retroreflective stripes, and the traffic cones used in the same zones are predominantly orange.
-
15. You realize you have just gone past your exit on a freeway. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Carry on to the next exit and turn around there
A missed exit costs a few minutes, while backing up or cutting across the striped gore area puts you in the path of traffic that is not expecting it.
-
16. Two solid white lines separate your lane from the lane beside it. What do they mean?
Show answer
Answer B: Crossing from one lane to the other is prohibited
A solid double white line marks a boundary that road users may not cross, such as the entrance to a preferential lane.
-
17. A pedestrian steps off the curb without looking your way. What should you assume?
Show answer
Answer B: That the person has not seen you at all, and be ready to stop for them
Defensive driving means assuming you have not been seen until there is clear evidence that you have.
-
18. When required to stop for an approaching train, within what distance of the nearest rail must an Oklahoma driver stop?
Show answer
Answer D: Within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet
Oklahoma law requires a driver approaching a railroad grade crossing under specified warning conditions to stop within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail.
-
19. You come around a bend and find loose sand spread across your lane. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Ease off the gas, avoid sudden braking or steering, and keep straight
Loose material acts like ball bearings under the tires; smooth inputs preserve what little grip remains, while sudden braking or steering breaks it.
-
20. Some toll facilities use signs and markings with a purple background or a purple stripe. What do they identify?
Show answer
Answer D: Lanes reserved for vehicles with an electronic toll account
Purple is assigned to lanes and ramps restricted to vehicles with a registered electronic toll collection account, so drivers without one must stay out.
