  2. You are turning left without a protected arrow. An oncoming car is close and going straight. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Wait for the oncoming car to pass.

    An unprotected left turn yields to conflicting oncoming traffic.

  3. You are leaving a private driveway for a public road. Who has priority?

    Correct answer: Traffic already using the public road.

    Entering from private property does not give you priority over road traffic.

  4. Your light is green, but a pedestrian is still crossing in your path. What is the correct action?

    Correct answer: Yield and let the pedestrian clear your path.

    Green permits movement only when it is safe; people already crossing still need protection.

  5. As you reach a roundabout entry, traffic is approaching within the circle. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Yield until a safe entry gap is available.

    Entry traffic yields to vehicles already circulating; travel counterclockwise.

  6. On a two-lane road, an oncoming marked school bus stops to unload children with its red lights and stop arm operating. What must you do?

    Correct answer: Stop and remain stopped until unloading ends and the bus moves.

    The stop requirement applies to traffic approaching from either direction on this road.

  7. A marked school bus is unloading children with red lights and its stop arm operating on an undivided four-lane road. You approach in the opposite direction. What is required?

    Correct answer: Stop for the bus.

    Four lanes alone are not enough for Kentucky's current opposite-direction exception; an elevated barrier or unpaved median is required.

  8. A four-lane highway has an unpaved median separating directions. A marked school bus stops to unload on the opposite roadway. How does Kentucky's bus-stop rule apply to you?

    Correct answer: The opposite-direction exception applies; remain alert for hazards.

    This exception requires four or more lanes separated by an elevated barrier or unpaved median and opposite-direction travel.
