Driver Education Final

To be sure a lane is clear before you change lanes, you should:

• Look in your outside mirrors only

• Look over your shoulder into the lane you want to enter

• Always turn your head and look over your right shoulder

If the traffic light turns yellow after you enter an intersection, you should:

• Stop, and back up over the crosswalk

• Proceed across with caution

• Stop immediately

After passing another car, you should not drive back to your original driving lane until you:

• Can see the front of the car you just passed in your rear view mirror

• Can no longer see the car when you turn your head

• Are one car length ahead of the car you just passed

When driving through a curve, you should:

• Slow into it and accelerate out of it

• Accelerate into it

• Coast all the way around it

You can be fined up to $1,000 and jailed for six months if you are cited for:

• Dumping or abandoning an animal on a highway

• Making a U-turn from a center left-turn lane

When sharing the road with a trolley or light rail vehicle:

• Never turn in front of an approaching trolley or light rail vehicle
