Driver's Permit Knowledge Test (Car) — All Questions
← Back to practice4 questions
A pedestrian is waiting to cross at a marked crosswalk with no signal. What must you do?
- a.Honk to warn them to wait
- b.Continue since cars always have priority
- c.Yield and let the pedestrian cross✓
- d.Speed up to pass before they step out
Drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians in marked and many unmarked crosswalks. Slow down or stop and let the person cross safely before you proceed. Never pass a vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk, because it may be yielding to a pedestrian you cannot yet see.
The large areas around a truck where the driver cannot see other vehicles are called what?
- a.No-zones (blind spots)✓
- b.Safety cushions
- c.Buffer lanes
- d.Escape ramps
Large trucks have big blind spots on all four sides known as no-zones, including directly behind, in front, and along both sides. If you cannot see the truck driver in their side mirror, they cannot see you. Avoid lingering in these areas, and pass on the left where the blind spot is smaller.
A school bus ahead of you stops and extends its red flashing lights and stop arm on a two-lane road. What must you do?
- a.Pass slowly on the left
- b.Stop and stay stopped until the lights turn off✓
- c.Honk and continue past
- d.Merge right and keep driving
Flashing red lights and an extended stop arm mean children are getting on or off the bus. On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must stop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the arm folds back. Children may cross unexpectedly, so wait patiently even if you do not see them.
You hear a siren and see an emergency vehicle approaching with flashing lights. What should you do?
- a.Stop immediately in your lane
- b.Speed up to get out of the area
- c.Continue at the same speed
- d.Pull over to the right edge and stop until it passes✓
When an emergency vehicle approaches using its siren or flashing lights, pull over to the right edge of the road and stop until it has passed. This clears a path so police, fire, or ambulance crews can respond quickly. Do not stop in the middle of an intersection; drive through it first, then pull to the right.
