Study Notes
Permit Test Key Points
- A broken yellow centerline permits passing on the left when the way ahead is clear; never cross a solid yellow centerline.
- The safest speed is contingent on weather and road conditions; adjust below posted limits in adverse conditions but avoid excessive slowing to evade tickets.
- After parallel parking on a level street, straighten the front wheels and ensure enough space between vehicles for safe maneuvering.
- When being passed by another vehicle, slow slightly and stay in your lane; resume normal speed once the vehicle has safely passed.
- If a truck or bus is making a right turn and you also need to turn, wait for the vehicle to complete its turn to avoid collisions.
- Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is influenced by body weight, alcohol consumption quantity, and time between drinks; physical fitness does not affect BAC.
- Blocking an intersection is never legal; do not enter unless you can clear it before the light turns red to avoid being cited.
- Mixing alcohol with prescription or over-the-counter medicine can intensify their effects, leading to increased impairment.
- On a two-lane road, if tailgated, reduce speed gradually to encourage the driver to pass.
- A traffic sign indicating "Right lane ends ahead" instructs drivers to merge left.
- Solid white stop lines indicate where drivers must stop at intersections and pedestrian crosswalks.
- A sign indicating "slippery when wet" warns drivers of potential road hazards.
- A sign indicating "to merge" alerts drivers of upcoming merging traffic.
- Pentagon-shaped signs signify school zones or crossings, marking areas with potential pedestrian traffic.
- Roads are more susceptible to freezing quickly in shaded areas.
- Always obey police officer signals, even if contradictory to traffic signals or signs.
- Use your turn signal at least 100 feet before making a right turn at an intersection.
- Warning signs on highways indicate hazardous conditions to alert drivers.
- After passing another car, return to the right lane only when the front bumper of the passed car is visible in your rearview mirror.
- Fines for traffic violations in construction zones are doubled to enhance safety compliance.
- Drivers should always wear seat belts, even in vehicles equipped with airbags for added protection.
- Use low beam headlights when driving in fog; high beams can create visual impairments by reflecting back at the driver.
- A sign indicating "traffic signal ahead" warns drivers to prepare for a traffic control signal.
