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.
In New York City, the standard speed limit is 25 mph unless otherwise posted.
