- Speed up to merge
- Yield to traffic already in the circle
- Stop fully before entering

Yield to vehicles already circulating, then enter into a gap. Traffic flows counter-clockwise.
8. Looking well ahead while driving lets you:
- Go faster
- Relax

A merge sign warns that another road joins yours ahead.

Show answer
Answer: Well ahead (10–15 seconds) and keep checking mirrors
Look far ahead and keep scanning mirrors and sides to see problems developing.

- Only cars
- Motorcycles and bicycles, which are easy to miss

Show answer

- Wide to the left
- From any lane
- From the lane nearest the right curb, close to the curb
- From the center lane
Show answer
Answer: From the lane nearest the right curb, close to the curb
Right turns start from the right-most lane, staying close to the curb.
16. Bald or badly worn tires are dangerous mainly because they:
- Look bad
- Lose traction, especially on wet roads
- Use more fuel
- Are loud
Show answer
Answer: Lose traction, especially on wet roads
Worn tread greatly reduces grip and increases stopping distance on wet roads.

Drivers must always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
18. You are already in an intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches with its siren on. You should:
- Stop right where you are
- Clear the intersection, then pull to the right and stop
- Reverse out of the intersection
- Speed up and keep going
Show answer
Answer: Clear the intersection, then pull to the right and stop
Never stop in an intersection — clear it first, then pull to the right edge and stop.
19. You must stop and give information after a crash that involves:
- Only at night
- Injury, death, or property damage
- Only your own car
- Only injuries
Show answer
Answer: Injury, death, or property damage
Stop and exchange information for any crash involving injury, death, or property damage.
20. A road is often most slippery:
- Only when flooded
- During the first few minutes of rain, when water mixes with oil

Show answer
Answer: During the first few minutes of rain, when water mixes with oil
The first rain lifts oil and dust into a slick film — traction is worst early on.
