California Permit & License Test – 7

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Never park your car on a marked or unmarked crosswalk.

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

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

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

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.

Signal and return to your original lane if clear.

Slow down as you approach intersections and curves

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The driver in front signals a stop.

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.

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).

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

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

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