Driver's Permit Knowledge Test (Car) — All Questions

A pedestrian is waiting to cross at a marked crosswalk with no signal. What must you do?

• a.Continue since cars always have priority
• b.Speed up to pass before they step out
• c.Yield and let the pedestrian cross✓
• d.Honk to warn them to wait

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.Escape ramps
• d.Buffer lanes

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.Honk and continue past
• b.Merge right and keep driving
• c.Pass slowly on the left
• d.Stop and stay stopped until the lights turn off✓

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.Pull over to the right edge and stop until it passes✓
• b.Speed up to get out of the area
• c.Stop immediately in your lane
• d.Continue at the same speed

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.
