Two from the bank, answered.

Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.

Rules of the Road & Right of Way

At an intersection with no signs or signals, who generally has the right of way?

  1. AThe vehicle that reaches the intersection first, or the one on the right if you arrive togetherCorrect
  2. BThe vehicle on the left
  3. CThe larger vehicle
  4. DWhoever accelerates first

Why: At an uncontrolled intersection you yield to a vehicle that arrived first; if two arrive at about the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.

Traffic Signs & Signals

What does a red, eight-sided (octagonal) sign always mean?

  1. ARoad work ahead
  2. BSlow down and yield
  3. CCome to a full stopCorrect
  4. DNo parking allowed

Why: An octagonal red sign is always a STOP sign; you must come to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk, then proceed when it is safe.
