California Permit & License Test – 7

Creating more space in front of your vehicle on challenging road surfaces gives motorcyclists flexibility to handle unexpected conditions.

No U-turn. You cannot turn around and go in the opposite direction.

Leaving children or animals in a hot vehicle is dangerous and illegal. It is true even if you leave a window slightly open. Too much exposure to heat can lead to dehydration, heat stroke, and death.

Never park your car on a marked or unmarked crosswalk.

Following other vehicles at a safe distance gives you enough time to react if another driver makes a mistake.

A dedicated right turn lane does not merge into another lane and allows you to make a right turn without stopping.

Signal and return to your original lane if clear.

Slow-moving vehicles have an orange and red triangle on the back.

Broken white lines separate traffic lanes on roads with two or more lanes in the same direction. You may cross the lines when safe.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

• Tiredness
• Yawning
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Headache
• Ringing in the ears

Slow down as you approach intersections and curves

The driver in front signals a stop.

Always obey directions given by school safety patrols or crossing guards.

It is illegal to wear a headset or earplugs in both ears while driving. You must be able to hear horns, sirens, motorcycles, or screeching tires that may alert you of hazards.

When you see flashing red warning lights at a railroad crossing, you must stop and wait until the lights stop flashing.

The most common causes of collisions are:

• Driver distractions.
• Unsafe speed.
• Improper turns.
• Not following the right-of-way rules.
• Not following stop signals and signs.
• Driving on the wrong side of the road.
• A vehicle traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic.

To maintain control of the vehicle, back at a smooth, safe speed and adjust the steering wheel when needed.

Even if you have a green light, do not start across the intersection if pedestrians or vehicles are blocking your pathway.

The white line marks traffic lanes going in the same direction. It includes one-way streets.

When driving in high winds, you should reduce your speed. This gives you better control over your vehicle. Maintain a firm hand position on the steering wheel. Do not use cruise control.

Driving at a steady speed can maximize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

You must enter to the right and travel in a counter-clockwise direction.

When you buy a vehicle, you have ten days to transfer ownership to your name. When you sell a vehicle, you must notify the DMV within five days.

Primary factors are how many drinks you drink, gender, and body weight.

When a traffic light is not working, stop as if the intersection is controlled by STOP signs in all directions. Then, proceed cautiously when it is safe to do so.

If you cannot see farther than 100 feet, driving faster than 30 mph is unsafe.

You may turn left against a red light from a one-way street onto a one-way street. Make sure there is no sign prohibiting the turn.

Enter the freeway at or near the speed of traffic. Do not exceed the speed limit.

Enter a bike lane no more than 200 feet before starting a turn. Merge safely behind a bicyclist when preparing to make a turn.

When the bus flashes red lights, you must stop from either direction. You do not need to stop if the school bus is on the other side of a divided or multilane highway (two or more lanes in each direction).
