DE DMV Safe Driving Practices 3

Question 1

What is the correct way to use cruise control in Delaware?

Accepted Answer

Use it only on open highways in good weather

Answer

Cruise control should only be used on open highways in good weather — using it in wet, icy, or congested conditions reduces your ability to react.

Question 2

What should you do when entering an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow?

Accepted Answer

Stop if it is safe to do so; proceed through if stopping would be dangerous

Answer

If you can stop safely before the stop line when a light turns yellow, you should stop; if stopping would require hard braking that could cause a crash, it may be safer to proceed through.

Question 3

When is it legal to pass another vehicle on the right in Delaware?

Accepted Answer

When the vehicle ahead is turning left and there is a clear lane to the right

Answer

Delaware permits passing on the right only when the vehicle ahead is making a left turn and sufficient road exists to the right for safe passing.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of anti-lock brakes (ABS) in an emergency stop?

Accepted Answer

To prevent wheel lockup so the driver can maintain steering control

Answer

ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to steer around obstacles while still decelerating.

Question 5

When parallel parking in Delaware, how far from the curb should your vehicle be?

Accepted Answer

Within 12 inches

Answer

Delaware law requires parallel-parked vehicles to be within 12 inches of the curb to avoid obstructing traffic.
