Question 1

Where may pedestrians legally cross a road without a marked crosswalk?

Accepted Answer

At any intersection, whether the crosswalk is marked or unmarked

Pedestrians may legally cross at any intersection, including those with unmarked crosswalks, though they must still exercise caution and yield to traffic where required.

Question 2

A cyclist is riding in the middle of a narrow lane. What is the correct action?

Accepted Answer

Wait behind the cyclist until it is safe to pass with adequate clearance

Question 3

What minimum following distance is recommended when driving behind a large truck in good road and weather conditions?

Accepted Answer

3 seconds

Answer

A minimum 3-second following distance is recommended behind large trucks to account for their longer stopping distance and to improve your line of sight.

Question 4

When an emergency vehicle is approaching from behind with its lights and siren activated, what must you do?

Answer

When an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and siren, you must pull as far right as safely possible and stop until the vehicle has completely passed.

Question 5

What are 'no-zones' around large trucks?

Accepted Answer

Large blind spots around a truck where the driver has severely limited or no visibility
