Urban and Rural Driving

To enter a one-way street going left, you should

• stop unless there is a flashing green signal light
• turn from any available lane
• position your vehicle in the left lane
• position your vehicle in the right lane

How far ahead should you check traffic signals?

• the next intersection only
• at least a block ahead
• no fewer than three blocks ahead 
• no more than a block ahead

When changing lanes, check the blind spot by

• checking over your shoulder in the direction you are going to move
• signaling your intentions early
• looking over your left shoulder every time
• looking in the rear view mirrors

When following another vehicle, you should look

• at your rear view mirrors exclusively
• through, over, and around that vehicle
• at the rear of the vehicle ahead
• at the vehicle's brake lights

It is illegal to pass another vehicle

• at an intersection
• on a multilane street
• over a broken lane marker
• on a one-way street

How can you maintain a good sight distance while driving in city areas?

• Pay special attention to your mirrors
• Watch the vehicle ahead very closely 
• Maintain a 3-second following distance
• Stay to the right side of your lane

Why is city driving more difficult than driving in other environments?

• There are more people per square mile in the city than elsewhere
• More people ignore traffic laws in cities than in other locations
• There are more hazards, and you have to deal with them more frequently
• There are fewer police officers per miles on city streets.

A driver who follows too closely is called a 

• bumpersticker
• tailgater
• cargater
• tailodile

If an oncoming driver crosses into your path of travel, the space that is usually available for you to move your vehicle is 

• directly in front of you
• to the right of your vehicle
• to the rear of your vehicle
• to the left of your vehicle

How can you identify a one-way street?

• Parking is allowed only on the right
• Solid lane markers are present
• Turn lanes are marked
• Most traffic signs face the same direction
