Card 1 · Left-turn priority
You are waiting to turn left at an intersection. An oncoming car is close enough that turning would create a hazard. What should you do?
- Wait for the oncoming car to pass.
- Turn before the oncoming car reaches you.
- Expect the oncoming car to stop for you.
- Begin turning to claim the available gap.
Show answer for card 1
Correct answer: Wait for the oncoming car to pass.
A left-turning driver must yield to oncoming traffic in the intersection or close enough to be an immediate hazard. A turn signal does not give you priority.

Card 2 · Occupied intersections
A vehicle from a crossing road is already inside an intersection with no signs or signals. As you approach, what is required?
- Enter first if your vehicle is on its right.
- Continue because the intersection has no stop sign.
- Yield to the vehicle already in the intersection.
- Accelerate so that you cross behind it quickly.
Show answer for card 2
Correct answer: Yield to the vehicle already in the intersection.
At an uncontrolled intersection, an approaching driver yields to a vehicle that has already entered from another road. Do not force an existing crossing movement to stop.

Card 3 · Stops without markings
At a stop-controlled intersection with no stop line and no crosswalk, where do you stop?
- Before entering, where you can see approaching cross traffic.
- At the center of the intersection, then check both ways.
- One car length after entering, clear of the stop sign.
- At a fixed distance of 50 feet before the intersection.
Show answer for card 3
Correct answer: Before entering, where you can see approaching cross traffic.

Card 4 · Private-driveway entry
You are leaving a driveway while a car approaches on the road you want to enter. It would have to brake for you. What should you do?
- Enter because a driveway functions as an uncontrolled intersection.
- Pull halfway out so the approaching driver sees you.
- Wait until you can enter without creating that conflict.
- Enter if your turn signal has been on long enough.
Show answer for card 4
Correct answer: Wait until you can enter without creating that conflict.
When entering a highway from a driveway or private road, yield to approaching traffic. Do not force the approaching driver to brake for your entry.

Card 5 · Marked turning paths
An intersection has signs and lane markings directing your turning path. What should determine the path you follow?
- Follow the route required by the traffic-control devices.
- Choose any receiving lane as soon as the turn begins.
- Follow the widest curve regardless of the lane markings.
- Use the usual turning path even if signs direct otherwise.
Show answer for card 5
Correct answer: Follow the route required by the traffic-control devices.

Card 6 · Left-turn approach
Without special lane directions, which lane should you use to approach an intersection for a left turn?
- The far-right lane so you have space for a wider turn.
- Any through lane if you have already signaled the turn.
- The far-left lane lawfully available in your direction.
- The lane left of the centerline if opposing traffic is light.
Show answer for card 6
Correct answer: The far-left lane lawfully available in your direction.

Card 7 · School buses on two-lane roads
On a two-lane, two-way road, an oncoming school bus stops to unload children with its red stop signals operating. What must you do?
- Stop before reaching the bus and wait as required.
- Continue slowly because the bus is in the opposing lane.
- Stop briefly, then pass if no child is in your lane.
- Continue if the bus is stopped close to its roadway edge.
Show answer for card 7
Correct answer: Stop before reaching the bus and wait as required.
On this two-lane road, traffic from both directions must stop for the school bus. Remain stopped until the bus resumes motion or its driver signals you to proceed, and watch for children.

Card 8 · Following a school bus
You are behind a school bus in the same direction on a four-lane highway. It stops on your roadway to unload children and displays its stop signals. What must you do?
- Pass in the other lane because the highway has four lanes.
- Proceed at walking speed if the adjacent lane is open.
- Stop before the bus and remain stopped as required.
- Stop only if the bus is in the same marked lane as you.
Show answer for card 8
Correct answer: Stop before the bus and remain stopped as required.
The four-lane opposing-direction exception does not authorize traffic behind the bus on the same roadway to pass. Stop and wait for the bus to move or its driver to signal you to proceed.

- Yield and enter when there is a suitable gap.
- Enter first because approaching traffic has priority.
- Stop the circulating driver by edging into the circle.
- Turn left around the island to avoid crossing its path.

- Wait instead of using the shoulder to pass.
- Use the shoulder if your right turn signal is on.
- Pass on the shoulder if it appears wide enough.
- Use the shoulder at half the posted speed limit.
Show answer for card 11

Card 14 · Broken centerlines
A broken yellow line is on your side of a two-lane road. What does that allow?
- Crossing to pass without checking for oncoming vehicles.
- Passing even when a curve hides the road ahead.
- Crossing to pass when visibility, traffic and other rules permit.
- Driving continuously in the opposing lane while traffic is light.
Show answer for card 14
Correct answer: Crossing to pass when visibility, traffic and other rules permit.
A broken line permits a passing maneuver, but it does not make every passing attempt safe or legal. You still need adequate visibility and space, and must obey other restrictions.

Card 15 · Double yellow centerlines
Two solid yellow lines divide opposing traffic. What do they mean for overtaking another vehicle?
- Do not cross them to make a passing maneuver.
- Cross them if you need to pass a vehicle going below the limit.
- Cross them after signaling for at least three seconds.
- Cross them if you can return before the next intersection.
Show answer for card 15
Correct answer: Do not cross them to make a passing maneuver.
The guide prohibits crossing double solid yellow centerlines to pass. This question concerns overtaking, not every possible lawful crossing movement.

Card 16 · Flashing red signals
How should you respond to a flashing red traffic light?
- Slow down and continue if no traffic is immediately visible.
- Keep moving because the signal is flashing rather than steady.
- Make a full stop, then yield before proceeding safely.
- Wait without moving until a green signal is displayed.
Show answer for card 16
Correct answer: Make a full stop, then yield before proceeding safely.
A flashing red light has the same meaning as a stop sign. Stop fully and follow the right-of-way rules before proceeding.

You face a circular red light and no sign prohibits a right turn. When may you turn right?
- After a full stop, yielding to pedestrians and other traffic.
- After slowing enough to see that the nearest lane is empty.
- As soon as the traffic behind you begins to form a queue.
- After sounding your horn to warn traffic that you are turning.
Show answer for card 17
Correct answer: After a full stop, yielding to pedestrians and other traffic.
A permitted right turn on red requires a complete stop first. Turn cautiously only after yielding and making sure the way is clear.

A green light changes to steady yellow while you are still far enough away to stop safely. What should you do?
- Accelerate because yellow provides extra crossing time.
- Continue at the same speed until the light turns red.
- Stop before entering the intersection.
- Make a sudden lane change to follow a vehicle through.
Show answer for card 18
Correct answer: Stop before entering the intersection.
The guide says to stop for a steady yellow unless you are already in the intersection or too close to stop safely before entering. Do not speed up to beat the red.

Card 19 · Flashing yellow turn arrows
A flashing yellow left-turn arrow is displayed. What is required before you turn?
- Wait for an adequate gap and yield to pedestrians.
- Assume oncoming traffic has a red light and turn.
- Wait for a green arrow even when a safe gap is available.
- Enter immediately because the flashing arrow reserves your turn.
Show answer for card 19
Correct answer: Wait for an adequate gap and yield to pedestrians.
A flashing yellow arrow permits the indicated turn after yielding. Unlike a protected green arrow phase, it requires you to choose a suitable gap in opposing traffic.

Card 20 · Red left-turn arrows
