Driver's Permit Knowledge Test (Car) — All Questions
← Back to practice4 questions
At a four-way stop where two vehicles arrive at exactly the same time, who has the right of way?
- a.The larger or heavier vehicle
- b.The vehicle on the right✓
- c.The vehicle turning left
- d.Whoever accelerates first
At a four-way stop, the vehicle that arrives first goes first. When two vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Always make eye contact and be prepared to yield even when you have the right of way, because right of way is something you give, not take.
When you enter a roundabout, which direction do you travel and who must yield?
- a.Clockwise; entering traffic has priority
- b.Counterclockwise; you never have to yield
- c.Counterclockwise; you yield to traffic already circulating✓
- d.Clockwise; you yield to traffic entering behind you
In countries that drive on the right, traffic in a roundabout flows counterclockwise. You must yield to vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout before you enter, then merge into a gap. Signal when you plan to exit, and never stop inside the circle unless traffic ahead forces you to.
When you want to make a legal left turn at an intersection, from which lane and to which lane should you turn?
- a.From the far left lane into the nearest left lane going your direction✓
- b.From any lane into any open lane
- c.From the right lane cutting across to the left
- d.From the center of the intersection into oncoming traffic
Begin a left turn from the lane closest to the center line and finish in the lane just to the right of the center line on the road you enter. This keeps your path predictable and avoids crossing into other lanes of traffic. Yield to oncoming traffic and to pedestrians in the crosswalk before completing the turn.
What does the 'basic speed law' require of every driver?
- a.Always drive exactly at the posted limit
- b.Match the speed of the fastest car around you
- c.Drive at least 10 mph below the limit at all times
- d.Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions✓
The basic speed law says you must never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the posted limit. In rain, fog, heavy traffic, or poor visibility, the safe speed may be well below the posted maximum. The posted limit is the fastest you may legally travel under ideal conditions, not a target you must always reach.
