You are turning left at a green light with no arrow. Who must you yield to?
Oncoming traffic and pedestrians
On a plain green light, a left turn crosses the path of oncoming traffic. Yield to vehicles coming straight or turning right, and to people in the crosswalk, then turn when there is a safe gap. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Texas Driver Handbook, Florida Driver Handbook.
You are pulling out of a driveway or alley onto a street. Who has the right-of-way?
Traffic and people already there
Drivers entering a road from a driveway, alley or parking lot must yield to vehicles on the road and to pedestrians and bicyclists on the sidewalk or in bike lanes. Source: Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.
When you enter a roundabout, who must you yield to?
Traffic already in the circle
Roundabouts use yield-at-entry: wait for a safe gap in the circulating traffic (and for people in the crosswalk), then enter and go counterclockwise. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Texas Driver Handbook, Florida Driver Handbook.
At a four-way stop, cars arrive at different times. Who goes first?
The first car to stop
At an all-way stop, vehicles go in the order they arrived and stopped. If two arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Source: Florida Driver Handbook, California Driver Handbook.
Your light turns green, but a car is still crossing the intersection. What should you do?
Let it clear, then go
Drivers approaching an intersection must yield to traffic already in it. Wait until the intersection is clear before you move. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook.
A pedestrian with a white cane or guide dog is crossing. What must you do?
Stop and let them cross
A white cane or guide dog usually means the person is blind or has low vision. Stop and give them the right-of-way, even if the signal or other right-of-way rules favor you. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.
A car in the next lane has stopped at a crosswalk. What should you do?
Stop too; don't pass it
Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk. It may be letting someone cross whom you cannot see. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook.
An emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder with lights flashing. What must you do?
Move over a lane or slow down
Move Over laws require you to change lanes away from a stopped emergency vehicle when it is safe. If you cannot move over, slow down and pass with caution. Many states also cover tow trucks and other roadside vehicles. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.
You are merging onto a freeway from an entrance ramp. Who has the right-of-way?
Traffic already on the freeway
Use the ramp and acceleration lane to match freeway speed, then merge into a gap. You must yield to vehicles already on the freeway. Source: Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.
What is an acceleration lane on a freeway entrance for?
Reaching freeway speed to merge
The acceleration lane lets you speed up to match traffic before you merge. Stop in it only if traffic leaves no safe gap. Source: Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.
Another vehicle is passing you on the left. What should you do?
Keep your lane; don't speed up
Stay centered in your lane and do not increase your speed, so the other driver can finish passing safely. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.
Do people riding bicycles on the road have the same rights and duties as drivers?
Yes, in general
A bicycle is treated as a vehicle. Riders have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, apart from rules that cannot apply to a bike. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Texas Driver Handbook.

  1. When may a person on a bicycle ride in the middle of the lane?

    When the lane is too narrow to share

    Riders keep right when the lane can be shared safely, but may use the full lane when it is too narrow for a car and bike side by side, to avoid hazards, or to turn left. Source: Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.

  2. How much lane space is a motorcycle entitled to?

    A full lane

    A motorcycle needs and is entitled to a full lane width to maneuver. Never share a lane with a motorcycle or squeeze past it in the same lane. Source: Texas Driver Handbook, NY Driver's Manual.

  3. You can't see a truck driver's face in the truck's side mirror. What does that mean?

    The driver probably can't see you

    Large trucks have big blind spots (No-Zones) in front, behind and on both sides. If you can't see the driver in the mirror, assume the driver can't see you, and move out of that area. Source: Texas Driver Handbook, Florida Driver Handbook, NY Driver's Manual.

  4. A large truck ahead is signaling a right turn and moves left first. What should you do?

    Stay back; don't pass on its right

    Long trucks swing wide to make right turns, often moving left first. Do not squeeze between the truck and the curb. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook.

  5. On a two-lane road, a school bus coming toward you stops with red lights flashing. What must you do?

    Stop until the lights go off

    On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights. Stay stopped until the lights stop flashing or the driver signals. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Florida Driver Handbook, Texas Driver Handbook.

  6. How should you pass a person on a bicycle on a two-lane road?

    Slow down and give plenty of room

    Pass a bicyclist like any slower vehicle: only when it is safe, moving into the next lane if you can. Many states set a minimum gap, often 3 feet. Source: Florida Driver Handbook, NY Driver's Manual.

  7. You park on a street. Before opening your door on the traffic side, what should you check for?

    Bicyclists and traffic behind you

    Look in your mirror and over your shoulder before opening the door. A door opened into an approaching bicyclist can cause a serious crash. Source: NY Driver's Manual, Texas Driver Handbook, California Driver Handbook.

  8. At a T-intersection with no signs, who usually yields?

    The driver on the ending road

    When your road ends at a through road, stop if needed and yield to traffic on the through road before turning. Source: Texas Driver Handbook, California Driver Handbook.
