Question 1

What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers 21 and over?

Accepted Answer

0.08%

Answer

The legal BAC limit for drivers 21 and over is 0.08% in all US states. Driving at or above this level constitutes DUI/DWI.

Question 2

When approaching a school bus with flashing red lights, what must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the stop arm is retracted

Answer

All vehicles must stop when a school bus displays flashing red lights and/or an extended stop arm, regardless of direction of travel (unless separated by a physical median), remaining stopped until signals are deactivated.

Question 3

What does a solid yellow line on your side of the road mean?

Accepted Answer

No passing — you cannot cross this line to pass another vehicle

Answer

A solid yellow line on your side means passing is prohibited in your direction. A broken yellow line means passing is allowed if safe. Double solid yellow lines mean no passing in either direction.

Question 4

What is the proper procedure at a four-way stop intersection?

Accepted Answer

The first vehicle to arrive has the right of way; if arriving simultaneously, yield to the vehicle on the right

Answer

At a four-way stop, vehicles proceed in order of arrival. When two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the right has right of way. If facing each other, the vehicle going straight has priority over one turning.

Question 5

What is the safe following distance rule?

Accepted Answer

At least 3-4 seconds behind the vehicle ahead under normal conditions

Answer

The 3-4 second rule provides adequate stopping distance under normal conditions. Increase to 5-6 seconds in adverse conditions (rain, fog, night). Tailgating is a leading cause of rear-end collisions.
