    Continuously during the final 100 feet before the turn.

    No. Wait until the gate is fully raised, warning lights stop, and you can cross every track completely.

65. カード 65

    質問

    A dedicated right-turn lane continues into its own lane beyond the corner. Must you obey a signal posted for that turn lane?

67. カード 67

    質問

    質問

70. カード 70

    質問

    A pedestrian makes eye contact with you at a crosswalk. What should you assume?

    They intend to cross. Yield and let them complete the crossing safely.

71. カード 71

    質問

    What checks belong in a safe lane change?

72. カード 72

    質問

    May you cross a public-transit bus lane to make a right turn?

    回答

    Yes, where the crossing is lawful and safe. Do not otherwise drive, stop, or park in a bus-only area.

73. カード 73

    質問

    You are already moving through an intersection when you realize you chose the wrong turn. What should you do?

    At or near the speed of highway traffic. Use the ramp to build speed, then merge into a safe gap.

77. カード 77

    質問

    On a steep, narrow road where two vehicles cannot pass, which vehicle has the right-of-way?

    回答

    The uphill-facing vehicle. The downhill-facing driver should back up because they have better control in reverse.

78. カード 78

    質問

    About how large a gap does the handbook recommend when entering traffic from a stop on a city street?

    About half a block, roughly 150 feet. Use a larger gap whenever speed, visibility, or traffic conditions demand it.

79. カード 79

    質問

    A preferential lane, commonly an HOV or carpool lane. Follow the posted vehicle, occupancy, entry, and time rules.

228. カード 228

     質問

     Where should an opened cannabis container normally be carried in a vehicle?

     質問

232. カード 232

     質問

     Where should an opened alcohol container be stored in a vehicle?

     回答

233. カード 233

     質問

     What is the only reliable way to remove alcohol from your body?

234. カード 234

     質問

     Why is mixing alcohol with medicine or other drugs especially dangerous?

     回答

     The combined impairment can be stronger and less predictable than either substance alone.

235. カード 235

     質問

     Can an adult be arrested for DUI with a BAC below 0.08%?
