Saskatchewan Knowledge Test (Class 7 Learner) — All Questions

What must you do at a red, eight-sided (octagonal) STOP sign?

• a.Slow down and roll through if clear
• b.Come to a complete stop, then go when it is safe✓
• c.Stop only if another vehicle is present
• d.Yield without stopping

A STOP sign requires a full stop at the line or intersection; proceed only when the way is clear. (SGI Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook)

A yellow diamond-shaped sign with a black symbol usually tells you:

• a.A parking rule
• b.A destination and distance
• c.The road is closed
• d.There is a hazard or change in the road ahead✓

Diamond-shaped yellow signs are warning signs; they alert you to hazards or changing conditions so you can slow down and prepare. (SGI)

A sign shaped like an upside-down (inverted) triangle means:

• a.Yield the right of way✓
• b.Stop and stay stopped
• c.No entry
• d.Speed limit ahead

The inverted triangle is a YIELD sign: slow down, give way to traffic and pedestrians, and stop if needed before proceeding. (SGI)

A flashing red traffic light means:

• a.Speed up through the intersection
• b.Slow down but do not stop
• c.Stop completely, then proceed when it is safe✓
• d.The signal is out of service, so ignore it

Treat a flashing red light like a stop sign: stop fully, then go when the way is clear. (SGI)

An orange diamond-shaped sign usually means:

• a.A permanent speed zone
• b.You are in or approaching a construction or work zone✓
• c.A rest area ahead
• d.A one-way street

Orange signs mark construction and work zones; slow down, watch for workers, and obey any reduced work-zone speed limits. (SGI)

At an intersection with no signs or signals where two vehicles arrive together, you should:

• a.Go first if your vehicle is larger
• b.Yield to the vehicle on your left
• c.Yield to the vehicle on your right✓
• d.Speed up to clear the intersection

At an uncontrolled intersection, give the right of way to the vehicle approaching from your right. (SGI)

You are turning left at an intersection on a green light. You must:

• a.Yield to oncoming traffic and to pedestrians before turning✓
• b.Turn at once because you have the green
• c.Wait for the light to turn red
• d.Sound your horn and turn

On a solid green, a left-turning driver yields to oncoming vehicles and to pedestrians crossing before completing the turn. (SGI)

In Saskatchewan, turning right on a red light is:

• a.Never allowed
• b.Allowed after a complete stop, unless a sign prohibits it, once you yield to pedestrians and traffic✓
• c.Allowed without stopping
• d.Allowed only on gravel roads

You may turn right on red after stopping fully and yielding, unless a posted sign forbids the turn. (SGI)

A school bus ahead on an undivided road has its red lights flashing. You must:

• a.Pass slowly on the left
• b.Slow down but keep moving
• c.Stop only if you are behind the bus
• d.Stop whether you are behind it or meeting it, until the lights stop flashing✓

On an undivided road, traffic in both directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights. (SGI)

As you approach a roundabout (traffic circle), you should:

• a.Stop fully before entering, even if empty
• b.Enter to the left and travel clockwise
• c.Yield to traffic already in the roundabout and enter on a safe gap✓
• d.Speed up to merge

Traffic already circulating has the right of way; wait for a safe gap, keep right, and signal before you exit. (SGI)

In good conditions, a safe minimum following distance behind the vehicle ahead is:

• a.One car length
• b.At least a two-second gap✓
• c.Half a second
• d.No set distance is needed

Keep at least a two-second gap in good conditions and increase it in rain, snow or ice so you have time to react and stop. (SGI)

In Saskatchewan, when you pass an emergency vehicle or tow truck stopped with its lights flashing, you must:

• a.Keep your normal highway speed
• b.Speed up to pass quickly
• c.Stop in the middle of the road
• d.Slow to 60 km/h or less (or the posted limit if lower) and move over if you can✓

Saskatchewan requires you to slow to 60 km/h when passing emergency or tow vehicles with flashing lights, and to move over where possible. (SGI)

When sharing the road with cyclists, you should:

• a.Leave plenty of space and pass only when it is safe✓
• b.Pass as closely as possible
• c.Expect them to ride on the sidewalk
• d.Sound your horn to move them off the road

Give cyclists room, check for them before turning or opening doors, and pass with a safe amount of space. (SGI)

Before changing lanes, the safest practice is to:

• a.Use only your rear-view mirror
• b.Change quickly without signalling
• c.Signal, check mirrors, and glance over your shoulder to check the blind spot✓
• d.Rely on other drivers to move over

Mirrors do not show the blind spot, so signal and do a shoulder check before moving into another lane. (SGI)

Unless a sign says otherwise, the default speed limit in a Saskatchewan city or town is:

• a.40 km/h
• b.50 km/h✓
• c.70 km/h
• d.90 km/h

The default urban speed limit is 50 km/h unless a sign posts a different limit. (SGI)

When driving on snow, ice or in poor visibility, you should:

• a.Reduce your speed and increase your following distance✓
• b.Keep your normal speed and gap
• c.Brake hard to test the traction
• d.Follow closely to use the vehicle ahead's tracks

Slippery roads and low visibility mean you need more time and space, so slow down and leave a bigger gap. (SGI)

If your vehicle begins to skid on a slippery road, you should:

• a.Brake hard and hold the wheel straight
• b.Accelerate to pull out of it
• c.Ease off the accelerator and steer smoothly in the direction you want to go✓
• d.Turn on your high beams

To recover from a skid, take your foot off the gas and steer gently toward where you want the front of the car to go. (SGI)

In fog, the best headlight setting to use is:

• a.High beams for maximum light
• b.No lights, to reduce glare
• c.Hazard lights only while moving
• d.Low beams, because high beams reflect off the fog✓

Use low-beam headlights in fog; high beams bounce off the water droplets and make it harder to see. (SGI)

• a.Zero (0.00)✓
• b.Under 0.05
• c.Under 0.08

All GDL drivers in the Learner and Novice stages must have zero alcohol and zero drugs in their system. (SGI)

• a.No consequences
• b.An immediate roadside licence suspension and possible vehicle seizure✓
• c.A higher speed limit
• d.A written warning with no record

Saskatchewan applies penalties starting at 0.04 for experienced drivers, including roadside suspensions and vehicle seizures; 0.08 or more is a criminal offence. (SGI)

A Learner-stage (Class 7) driver in Saskatchewan must:

• a.Drive alone to gain experience
• b.Only drive on gravel roads
• c.Be accompanied by an experienced supervising driver and keep a zero blood alcohol level✓
• d.Carry no supervising driver

In the Class 7 Learner stage you must have a qualified experienced driver supervising and maintain zero alcohol and drugs. (SGI)

Traffic convictions in Saskatchewan can affect your record and insurance through:

• a.Nothing, tickets have no lasting effect
• b.Only a one-time fine

SGI's Safe Driver Recognition program tracks your driving record with points that affect penalties and insurance costs; impaired driving carries severe penalties. (SGI)
