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.

A pedestrian is crossing your half of the road in an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection. Does the absence of painted lines let you continue without yielding?
Correct answer: No; yield to the pedestrian in the crosswalk.
Crosswalk protection is not limited to painted markings. Yield to the person in the crosswalk and do not enter their path.

A pedestrian carrying a white cane has begun crossing your path. What is appropriate?

The only open curb space is directly in front of a private driveway. May you park there and leave the car while visiting a store?
Correct answer: No; do not block the driveway.
The handbook prohibits leaving a vehicle parked in front of a public or private driveway. Flashers do not legalize the obstruction.

You intend to pull from a parallel parking space into the traffic lane. What should you do?
Correct answer: Check traffic and over your shoulder, signal and yield until it is safe to enter.
The driver leaving a parking space does not have the right-of-way. A signal announces an intention; it does not create a safe gap.

You park on the right side of a street facing uphill, with a curb. Which direction should the front wheels point?
Correct answer: Left, away from the curb.
With an uphill curb, front wheels turned away from the curb help the curb arrest a backward roll.

You park facing uphill on the right side of a road with no curb. Which way should the front wheels point?

At night, your stopping distance would exceed the roadway you can see in your headlights. What should you do?
Correct answer: Reduce speed so you can stop within the visible distance.

What is the best way to reduce the chance of hydroplaning on a rain-covered road?
Correct answer: Reduce speed so the tires have a better chance to maintain contact with the pavement.
Water can separate tires from the road. Lower speed is a basic precaution; sudden control changes and close following increase the danger.

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.
Yield clear of the intersection unless an officer directs otherwise. Stopping inside it can block the emergency vehicle.

As you use an interstate entrance, what should you do before entering the through lane?
Correct answer: Find a safe gap, adjust speed appropriately and signal before merging.
Prepare for the merge while obeying speed controls. Enter only when the gap is safe; a signal does not force through traffic to make room.

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.

Before moving into another interstate lane, what should you do?
Correct answer: Check mirrors and the blind spot, signal and change lanes only when the space is clear.
A vehicle may be outside your mirrors’ view. Look for that hidden traffic before beginning the move; signaling does not grant priority.

Why should you avoid lingering alongside a tractor-trailer while passing?
Correct answer: You may remain in the other driver’s blind spot and limit space to avoid a conflict.
A car lingering beside a truck can remain in its blind spot and restrict the truck driver’s ability to evade a hazard. Complete a permitted pass safely rather than remaining alongside.

A narrow road and oncoming traffic leave no room for a safe bicycle pass. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow and wait behind the cyclist until you can pass with adequate clearance.
Wait for safe space rather than squeezing through. A delayed pass is better than endangering the cyclist or oncoming traffic.

You have just passed a cyclist and want to turn right at the next driveway. What must you avoid?

A cold medicine’s directions warn that it may cause drowsiness. What should you do if it affects your alertness?
Correct answer: Do not drive while the medicine impairs your alertness.
Even ordinary cold medicines can impair driving. Read the directions and do not drive while drowsy or otherwise unable to operate safely.

What minimum advance distance does the Oklahoma handbook give for signaling a turn?
Correct answer: At least 100 feet.
Signal early enough to communicate the intended movement. Check traffic and use a safe gap; the signal does not grant priority.

You are on a one-way street turning left onto another one-way street at a circular red light. No sign or officer prohibits it. What does Oklahoma permit?
Correct answer: A left turn after a complete stop and yielding, if it is safe.
The permission is limited to the described one-way-to-one-way movement. Stop and yield to pedestrians and conflicting traffic.
