You are leaving a driveway across a sidewalk to join a road. To whom must you yield?
Correct answer: Pedestrians crossing the driveway and vehicles already on the road.
Yield to pedestrians when crossing the sidewalk and to road traffic before entering from a driveway. A turn signal requests space; it does not create it.

A pedestrian with a white cane is crossing ahead. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and allow the person to cross without sounding the horn.
The manual gives pedestrians using a white cane or guide dog absolute right-of-way and warns that a horn may confuse or frighten them.

As you approach a roundabout, a vehicle is already circulating toward your entrance. What should you do?

Entering traffic yields to vehicles already in the roundabout. Slow on approach and also watch for pedestrians and bicyclists.

While leaving a roundabout, you encounter people in the exit crosswalk. What should you do?

A school bus stops to load children on a two-lane road with red lights flashing and its stop arm extended. You approach from the opposite direction. What is required?
Correct answer: Stop before reaching the bus and wait until the red lights stop and the arm retracts.
On a road with fewer than four lanes, traffic from both directions must stop. Do not proceed until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm retracts, then proceed cautiously.

A stopped school bus is loading on the opposite side of a highway with four travel lanes. You are traveling in the opposite direction. What does the manual require?
Correct answer: Proceed slowly and watch for children; the opposite-direction stopping exception applies.
The manual's four-or-more-lane exception applies to opposing traffic. Traffic following the bus must still stop, and opposing traffic must proceed slowly.

A school bus ahead begins flashing its overhead yellow lights. How should you respond?

An emergency vehicle approaches with warning signals while your car is already in an intersection. What should you do?

A disabled car on the shoulder displays hazard lights. An adjacent travel lane is clear, and changing lanes is safe. What should you do?
Correct answer: Proceed cautiously and move into the lane away from the stopped vehicle.
Delaware's rule includes stationary vehicles displaying warning signals, not only emergency vehicles. Change lanes when possible; if that is impossible or unsafe, proceed cautiously and reduce to a safe speed.

The car ahead has stopped so a pedestrian can cross. What should you do?

No signs or markings provide a different turning path. How should you make an ordinary turn?
Correct answer: Turn from the lane nearest the desired direction into the nearest appropriate lane.
The normal turn crosses the fewest lanes. Complete the turn in the appropriate nearest lane, then make any needed lane change separately and safely.

Two lanes are authorized to turn left together. How should you keep your position through the turn?

When more than one turning lane is authorized, stay in your lane throughout the turn. Drifting can put you into another vehicle's path.

On a clear stretch with no intervening entrances, how far before a turn must your signal operate continuously under Delaware's stated rule?

You need to cross two lanes to reach the desired lane. What is the safer method?
Correct answer: Change one lane at a time, checking each movement.
A separate check for each lane change helps identify vehicles entering the same space. It is difficult to judge several lanes safely at once.

Your mirrors show no car in the adjacent lane. Before changing lanes, what additional check is needed?
Correct answer: A brief shoulder check in the direction of the move for blind-spot traffic.
Mirrors do not show every blind spot. Check briefly over the shoulder, signal and keep track of traffic ahead and beside you.

Two lanes travel in your direction, and you are not passing. Which lane is the ordinary choice?

A vehicle ahead is turning left. Which statement correctly describes Delaware's shoulder-passing rule in this situation?
Correct answer: Passing on the right using the shoulder can be legal, but requires extreme care and a safe path.
The manual expressly permits shoulder passing of a left-turning vehicle but warns that it is crash-prone and requires extreme care. It is not a general shoulder-passing permission or a reason to proceed when unsafe.

You are about to reverse out of a parking space. What should you do before getting into the car?
