At an all-way stop, another car stopped before you and is ready to proceed. Who normally goes first?
Correct answer: The car that arrived and stopped first.
Arrival order determines the ordinary sequence at an all-way stop. Still watch the other driver and proceed only when the path is safe.

Traffic beyond a green-light intersection is backed up with no room for your car on the far side. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait before entering until there is room to clear the intersection.
Do not enter if you will have to block the intersection. A green signal does not create space in a stopped queue.

On an ordinary two-way road without a separating median, you meet a stopped school bus with red lights flashing. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop and wait; do not pass the bus.
The stopping rule applies to both directions in this layout. Do not move past a bus that is still receiving or discharging children with its red lights flashing.

A stopped school bus is on the opposite roadway, separated from you by a median 25 feet wide. Does Arkansas require you to stop solely for that bus's flashing red lights?
Correct answer: No; the opposite-direction median exception applies at 20 feet or more.
The guide specifies a separating median at least 20 feet wide for this opposite-direction exception. A painted line or a narrow divider is not the same condition.

A driveway looks unused. May you leave your car across its entrance while visiting a nearby shop?
Correct answer: No; do not block the driveway.
An apparently unused entrance still needs to remain accessible. A short visit or a note does not make blocking a driveway acceptable.

You stop beside a car already parked along the curb and leave your vehicle there. What parking problem does this create?
Correct answer: Prohibited double parking.
Leaving a vehicle alongside a parked vehicle occupies the travel space. Hazard lights do not turn double parking into a designated parking area.

Your mirrors show no car in the lane you want to enter. What additional check should you make?
Correct answer: A quick glance over your shoulder toward that lane.
Mirrors can miss vehicles in the rear-side blind spots. A brief shoulder check helps cover that area without losing track of traffic ahead.

Before reversing out of a space where children may be nearby, what is a good first step?
Correct answer: Check behind the vehicle before getting in.
Small children and low objects may be hidden from the driver's seat. Check the area first and continue observing while backing slowly.

How far before an ordinary turn does the Arkansas guide say you should signal your intention?
Correct answer: At least 100 feet.
Early signaling gives others time to understand your intended movement. Still choose a safe gap and avoid misleading signals near another entrance.

You are about to pass a bicycle on a narrow road while an oncoming car is close. What is the safer plan?
Correct answer: Slow down and let the oncoming car pass before overtaking the bicycle.
Handle the hazards one at a time. Waiting for oncoming traffic to clear lets you give the bicycle a safer passing space.

A driver is following too closely. Should you brake suddenly to teach that driver to leave more room?
Correct answer: No; avoid sudden braking and let the driver pass when safe.
Sudden braking increases the chance of a rear-end crash. Keep your own actions predictable and use a safe opportunity to reduce the conflict.

Rain is heavy enough that you need your windshield wipers. What does the Arkansas guide require for lighting?
Correct answer: Turn on your headlights.
Arkansas requires headlights when windshield wipers are needed. Headlights help other drivers see you as well as illuminating the road.

You are driving in fog. Which headlight setting is appropriate?
Correct answer: Low beams.
High beams can reflect from the fog and create glare. Low beams provide better usable visibility and help others identify your vehicle.

Within what distance of an oncoming vehicle should you dim high beams according to the Arkansas guide?
Correct answer: 500 feet.
Dim in time to avoid glaring into the oncoming driver's eyes. Use low beams rather than waiting until the vehicles meet.

After an argument you feel too angry to concentrate on traffic. What should you do?
Correct answer: Give yourself time to calm down before driving.
Strong emotion can interfere with attention and judgment. Wait until you can focus on the road instead of taking the argument into traffic.

Your Arkansas license has a corrective-lens restriction, but you forgot your glasses. What should you do?
Correct answer: Do not drive until you can comply with the restriction.
A corrective-lens restriction is a condition of your driving privilege. Familiarity with the route or a passenger's help does not replace the required eyewear.

You expect to drink alcohol at an event. What is a sound transportation plan?
Correct answer: Arrange a sober driver or another safe ride before drinking.
Plan a ride that does not depend on an impaired judgment about your own condition. Coffee does not remove alcohol-related impairment.

After drinking alcohol, which claim about becoming sober quickly is correct?
Correct answer: Coffee and cold showers do not remove alcohol faster.
Quick-fix tricks do not eliminate alcohol from the body. Do not use a drink-count formula or how alert you feel as permission to drive.

A pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog is crossing your path. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and let the pedestrian cross safely.
Give the pedestrian a safe crossing. A horn can frighten or confuse someone relying on hearing to assess traffic, so it is not a way to hurry them.
