Your light turns green while a vehicle is still clearing your path through the intersection. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait until the vehicle has safely cleared before entering.
Check the actual intersection before moving. The green indication does not make an occupied path safe.

The crossing gate is down but you cannot see a train. May you drive around it?
Correct answer: No; stay stopped until the gate is raised, lights stop flashing and the tracks are clear.
A lowered gate is not optional merely because the train is out of view. Check all tracks before proceeding after the warnings end.

At an intersection without stop signs or signals, another car entered before you. What should you do?

You and a driver on your right reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time. Your paths conflict. What should you do?

You are leaving a driveway with no stop sign. What does Oklahoma’s handbook direct you to do before entering the street?
Correct answer: Stop before the sidewalk area, then yield to pedestrians and approaching traffic.
Stop before crossing the sidewalk even without a stop sign. The driveway entry does not give you priority over pedestrians or road traffic.

On a two-way street, you are already in an intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches with proper lights and siren. What should you do?
Correct answer: Clear the intersection safely, then pull close to the right edge and stop until it passes.

Another vehicle occupies the freeway gap you hoped to use. Who must adjust?
Correct answer: You must yield and find a safe gap before entering the through lane.
A signal states your intention but does not create a gap or right-of-way. Entering traffic must yield to traffic already on the freeway.

An approaching motorcycle has its turn signal on, but its actual intended movement is not yet clear. Should you pull from your driveway in front of it?
Correct answer: No; wait until its actual movement and a safe gap make entry safe.
A motorcycle’s narrow profile makes speed and distance harder to judge. Wait until the intended movement and a safe gap are clear.

Traffic is stopped just beyond the railroad tracks and there is no room for your whole car on the far side. The crossing warning is inactive. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait before the tracks until enough space is available beyond them.
Check the space beyond the tracks before entering. A clear warning signal does not create storage space on the other side.

You want to turn left across an approaching vehicle's path at an intersection without a protected turn signal. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic.
A left-turning driver yields to oncoming traffic that presents a conflict. A turn signal announces intent; it does not grant priority.
