• 100 km/h

• 90 km/h

• 110 km/h

• 80 km/h

When backing a passenger vehicle to the left, a driver should:

• Look in the inside rear-view mirror and make steering adjustments as necessary

• Look over the right shoulder with occasional glances to the front

• Look over the left shoulder with occasional glances to the front

• Without shoulder checking, use the inside and outside rear-view mirrors to ensure the best view to the rear and both sides of the vehicle

When approaching an intersection and facing a traffic control light that is showing a green right-turn arrow and a red light, a driver:

• Must stop and wait for a green light before turning in the direction of the arrow

• May go straight through the intersection without stopping

• May proceed when safe, without stopping, in the direction of the arrow

• May turn left without stopping

Alberta has a demerit point system where a fully licenced (non-learner, non-probationary) driver is suspended when they accumulate:

• 15 points

• 8 points

• 5 points

• 12 points

When passing a large truck on a two-way highway, a driver should:

• Leave extra room before returning to their lane

• Return to their lane when signalled by the truck’s headlights

• Return to their lane when the truck is no longer visible in any of their rear-view mirrors

• Return to their lane once they have cleared the truck’s front bumper

Which statement best describes the steps for turning right at a red traffic light?

• Right turns on a red traffic light are never permitted

• Signal and make sure there is no sign prohibiting the turn, stop, look left and right, yield the right-of-way, then proceed

• Reduce speed before the turn, look right for cyclists, signal and proceed

• Signal and reduce speed before the turn, look left, yield to vehicles and proceed

This sign indicates:

• Route for vehicles over 4500 kg.

• Route for slow moving vehicles

• Reserved lane for buses

• Dangerous goods route

A single solid white line between driving lanes in an urban area means:

• It is a line separating traffic travelling in opposite directions

• Traffic on the right is moving faster than traffic on the left

• Lane changing is not permitted

• Lane change is permitted

A “parking lane” as defined in the Basic Licence Driver’s Handbook is:

• A lane closest to the curb, where parking is permitted but there are no meters

• That portion of a primary highway between the edge of the roadway to the right of the direction of traffic and the nearest solid white line, not being the centre line, marked on the roadway

• A lane immediately beside a row of parking meters in an urban area

Shoulder checking means:

• Glancing towards the blind spot in the direction the driver intends to move

• Glancing into the left outside mirror

• Glancing into both the inside and outside mirrors

• Glancing into the right outside mirror
