> May not be crossed for any reason.
Two sets of solid double yellow lines spaced two or more feet apart are considered a barrier. You may not drive on or over this barrier, or make a left turn or U-turn across it, except at designated openings.
\n
30. You are driving on a freeway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph. Traffic is traveling at 70 mph. You may legally drive:
\n
> No faster than 65 mph.
On most California highways, the maximum speed limit is 65 mph. You may drive at 70 mph only if the speed limit is posted as such.
\n
31. If you plan to pass another vehicle, you should:
\n
> Not assume the other driver will make space for you to return to your lane.
Even when you signal, you should not assume that the space you want to occupy is free or that other drivers will give you the right-of-way.
\n
32. A large truck is ahead of you and is turning right onto a street with two lanes in each direction. The truck:
\n
> May have to swing wide to complete the right turn.
When a vehicle makes a turn, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle, the bigger the difference between the paths of the front and rear wheels. Therefore, long trucks often have to swing wide to complete a right turn.
\n
33. Always stop before crossing railroad tracks when:
> There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.
Expect a train on any track, at any time, traveling in either direction. If you need to stop after crossing the tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.
\n
34. You should use your horn when:
\n
> It may help prevent a collision.
Only use your horn when it is necessary to avoid collisions. Do not use your horn if a driver or bicyclist is moving slowly and you want him or her to drive faster or get out of your way.
\n
35. If you drive more slowly than the flow of traffic, you will most likely:
> Interfere with traffic and receive a ticket.
You must drive more slowly than usual when there is heavy traffic or bad weather. However, if you block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic by driving too slowly, you may be cited. You should match the speed of traffic, unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit.
\n
36. When changing lanes on a freeway, you should:
\n
> Signal for at least five seconds.
Signal at least five seconds prior to a changing lanes on a freeway. Always signal when turning left or right, changing lanes, slowing down, or stopping to let other drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians know your intentions.
\n
37. Allow extra space in front of your vehicle when following a:
\n
> Motorcycle.
Allow for extra space when driving behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than other vehicles can and you must have adequate room to stop if the motorcyclist brakes or falls off. Also, remember that motorcycles are difficult to see at night because they only have one tail light.
\n
38. You must show proof of insurance to law enforcement:
\n

You must have evidence of financial responsibility, such as proof of insurance, with you whenever you drive. You must always show proof of insurance and your license to an officer upon request after a traffic stop or collision.
\n
39. If you drive 55 mph in a 55 mph zone, you can be given a speeding ticket:
> If the road or weather conditions require a slower speed.
California has a "Basic Speed Law," which means that you may never drive faster than would be safe in current conditions. Even if your speed is slower than the posted limit, you may still be cited if you are going too fast for conditions. When deciding how quickly to drive, drivers should take multiple factors into account, such as the speed of surrounding vehicles, the condition of the road surface, the presence of bicyclists and pedestrians, and weather conditions.
\n
40. It is legal to drive with an alcoholic beverage container that has been opened only if the container is:
\n

\n
43. Before you change lanes, you should check your mirrors and:
\n
> Glance over your shoulder.
Before changing lanes, it is very important to check behind you. You should look over your shoulder to ensure that you are not getting in the way of vehicles in the lane you want to enter. Before changing lanes, you should also ensure that no drivers are attempting to drive into the same spot from a different lane.
\n
44. You want to park downhill on a two-way road and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?
\n
> Right, toward the side of the road
When parking facing downhill on a road with or without a curb, or when facing uphill on a road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a
road with a curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if the brakes fail.
\n
45. You want to pass a bicyclist in a narrow traffic lane when an oncoming vehicle is approaching. You should:
\n
> Slow down and let the vehicle pass you before you pass the bicyclist.
In this situation, you should take on one danger at a time. Rather than trying to squeeze between the bicyclist and the other vehicle, you should slow down to let the other vehicle pass, and then pass the bicyclist when it is safe to do so.
\n
46. Always carefully look for motorcycles before you change lanes because:
> Their small size can make them hard to see.
You should check carefully for motorcycles when changing lanes because their small size makes it easy for them to disappear into your blind spots.
\n

Even after the bus begins to move again, do not proceed until you are sure there are no children crossing the road ahead of you.
\n
56. You must look for bicyclists in the same lanes used by motor vehicles because they:
> Are entitled to share the road with motor vehicles.
Bicyclists have the right to operate on the road and may lawfully be permitted to ride on certain sections of freeways where there is no alternate route and bicycling is not forbidden by a sign. Watch for bicyclists and share the road when they are present.
\n
57. You may make a left turn on a red light only from a:
\n
> One-way street onto a one-way street.

\n
61. There are two traffic lanes moving in your direction. You are driving in the left lane and many vehicles are passing you on the right. If the driver behind you wishes to drive faster, you should:
\n
> Move into the right lane when it is safe.
To drive quickly, pass, or turn left, use the left lane. Use the right lane when driving more slowly than surrounding traffic, entering the road, or turning right.
\n
62. While driving at night, a vehicle coming toward you has its high beams on, making it hard for you to see the road ahead. You should:
\n

\n
63. You should increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when you:
\n
> Are being tailgated by another driver.
When being tailgated, create extra space in front of your vehicle and do not brake suddenly. Slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with the tailgater.
\n
64. Check your rearview mirrors:
\n
> Often to see how traffic is moving behind you.
When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so you know the positions of vehicles near you.
\n
65. At an uncontrolled intersection where you cannot see cross traffic until you are just about to enter the intersection, the speed limit is:
\n
> 15 mph.
The speed limit for a blind intersection is 15 mph. An intersection is considered “blind” if there are no stop signs on any corner and you cannot see for 100 feet in either direction during the last 100 feet before crossing.
\n
66. If your vehicle starts to lose traction because of water on the road, you should:
> Slow down gradually and not apply the brakes.
When driving in heavy rain at speeds as low as 30 mph, your tires may lose all contact with the road and instead ride up on a layer of water above the surface of the road. This is called "hydroplaning." If your vehicle starts to hydroplane, slow down gradually and do not apply the brakes.
\n
67. You are crossing an intersection and an emergency vehicle is approaching while using its siren and flashing lights. You should:
> Continue through the intersection, pull to the right, and stop.

When approaching a roundabout, slow down. A roundabout is designed to be driven at a low speed.
\n
72. When using a roundabout, drivers should:
\n
> Yield to traffic already in the roundabout.
A roundabout is a circular intersection that usually does not include a traffic signal and flows in a counterclockwise direction around a central island. Motorists must enter from the right, yielding to traffic already in the roundabout, and follow the circle to the right until the desired roadway is reached.
\n
73. If you pass a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing, you will:

\n
79. To prevent tailgating, drivers should follow the:
\n
> Three-second rule.
Most rear-end collisions are caused by tailgating. To avoid tailgating, use the “Three Second Rule.” When the vehicle ahead of you passes a certain point, such as a sign, count “one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two, one-thousand-three.” If you pass the same point before you finish counting, you are following too closely.
\n
80. If you come across livestock or other animals on the roadway, you should:
> Slow down and stop.
If you are driving and come across an animal of any kind in the road, try to slow down and stop if it's safe to do so. Swerving to avoid an animal can be dangerous because your vehicle may lose control and cause an accident.

\n
85. When you drive through an area where children are playing, you should expect them:
> To run out in front of you without looking.
You should always reduce your speed and use extra caution when children are in the vicinity. They may fail to understand the danger and may run out in front of you without looking.
\n
86. If you stop at a railroad crossing with more than one track:
\n
> Wait to proceed until you have a clear view of all tracks.
If you are stopped at a railroad crossing with more than one track, do not start moving as soon as a train passes. Wait until you have a clear view down all tracks before you start across. Even where there is only one track, do not start across immediately after a train passes; check again for another train that may be approaching.
\n
87. While backing, you should:
\n
> Turn your head and look through the rear window.
When intending to back up, always check behind your vehicle before getting in. Children and small objects are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. While backing, turn your head so you can see through the rear window. Do not depend only on your mirrors or sensors.
\n
88. To help prevent crashes, you should:
\n
> Communicate with other road users.
Crashes often happen because one driver does something that other road users are not expecting. You should communicate with other motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians by doing things like signaling when slowing down, stopping, or changing direction. Use your emergency signals or horn when appropriate.
\n
89. If you begin to feel tired while driving, the best thing to do is to:
\n

Get as far off the road as possible and park in a location where other drivers can easily see you. Lift your hood to let other drivers know your vehicle is disabled.
\n
91. To pass a slower-moving vehicle on a two-lane, two-way road, you must:
> Use the lane that belongs to oncoming traffic.
Passing on a two-lane, two-way road requires good judgment because you must use the lane belonging to oncoming traffic to complete your pass. Only pass if you may safely and legally do so.
\n
92. The most important thing to remember about speed management and curves is that you must:
\n
> Slow down before you enter the curve.
The most important thing to remember about driving in curves is that your vehicle’s inertia may make it difficult to turn. To maintain control, it is essential that you slow down before entering the curve.
\n
93. At an intersection with a stop sign, you should stop and:
\n
> Look left first, then right, then left again.
When stopped at an intersection, you should first look to your left, as vehicles coming from the left are closer to you than vehicles coming from the right. Look to your right, then look to your left again, in case there are any vehicles coming from that direction that you did not see at first glance.
\n
94. It is best to keep a space cushion:
> On all sides of the vehicle.
To ensure that you will have time to react to hazards on the roadway, it is best to keep a cushion of space on all sides of your vehicle. Do not crowd vehicles to your left and right sides.
\n
95. Allow a larger space cushion than usual when stopping:
\n
> On an incline.
You should allow more space in front of your vehicle than usual when you are stopped on an uphill slope. If the vehicle in front of you rolls backward toward your vehicle when traffic begins to move again, it is less likely that there will be a collision.
\n
96. When making a turn, you must ____ your speed.
\n
> Reduce
When turning, you should reduce to a speed that allows you to maintain control of your vehicle, stay in your lane, and react to unexpected situations.
\n
97. When driving on slick roads, you should:
\n
> Take turns more slowly than usual.
While it is always dangerous to drive too fast on slippery roads, this is especially true when driving in turns and curves. Be sure to approach them more slowly in slippery conditions than you would under normal circumstances.
\n
98. When driving on slippery roads, you should:
\n
> Increase your following distance.
On slippery roads, you should increase your following distance. It may take more time to stop your vehicle than it would under normal conditions.
\n
99. Roads freeze quickly when they are:
\n
