A police officer directs your lane to stop although the signal is green. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop as the officer directs.
Follow the authorized officer’s direction. A green light does not authorize disregarding active traffic control.

You and a car on your right reach an uncontrolled intersection at approximately the same time. Both intend to go straight. Who should you yield to?
Correct answer: The car on your right.
At an uncontrolled intersection, yield to traffic already in the intersection and, on a simultaneous arrival, to the vehicle on your right.

At an all-way stop, a vehicle on your left finishes its stop before you arrive. What is the proper sequence when paths would conflict?
Correct answer: Let the vehicle that arrived first proceed before you.
Arrival order governs when one driver clearly reaches an all-way stop first. The right-side tie rule is for vehicles arriving together, not a reason to cut ahead of an earlier arrival.

You and an oncoming car are both ready to enter after stopping. You intend to turn left; the other car intends to go straight. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield to the oncoming car before making the left turn.
A left-turning driver yields to opposing traffic going straight or turning right when the movements conflict. Do not force another driver to avoid your turn.

You are leaving a driveway across a sidewalk before entering the street. A pedestrian is walking toward the driveway. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop before crossing the sidewalk, yield to the pedestrian, then yield to road traffic before entering.
A driveway exit does not give you priority over sidewalk users or street traffic. Stop and check both conflicts before proceeding.

A person is crossing at an intersection where the sidewalk continues across the street, but no crosswalk stripes are painted. What should you understand?
Correct answer: An unmarked crosswalk can exist there, and you must yield to the person crossing.
The handbook explains that crosswalks exist where sidewalks meet streets at intersections even when not marked. Missing paint does not remove pedestrian protection.

A pedestrian with a white cane is crossing your path. What is the appropriate response?
Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and allow the pedestrian to cross safely.
A person using a white cane or guide dog requires particular care. Stop and yield; do not use a horn to pressure or confuse the pedestrian.

After a required stop, parked vehicles block your view of cross traffic. What is the safest next step?
Correct answer: Creep forward cautiously only far enough to gain a view, keeping clear of conflicts, and yield before entering.
A stop alone does not establish a safe gap. Where visibility is blocked, cautiously improve your view before committing to the crossing.

You approach a roundabout while vehicles are circulating from your left. What should you do before entering?
Correct answer: Slow down and yield to circulating traffic and people crossing your approach.
Roundabout entry is a yielding maneuver. Wait for a safe opening and check the crossing before joining the counterclockwise flow.

A multilane roundabout’s lane signs show which lane serves your exit. When should you choose the correct lane?
Correct answer: Before entering, then stay in the appropriate lane through the roundabout.
Read the lane directions early. The handbook advises against changing lanes or passing within the roundabout.

You are preparing to leave a roundabout near a large truck. What should you do?
Correct answer: Give the truck room, signal right for your exit and check for pedestrians.
Large vehicles may need extra space. Communicate the exit and check its crossing rather than squeezing beside a truck.
