OMV Vehicle Operation 3

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

Passing on the right is permitted when the vehicle ahead is making or about to make a left turn and there is sufficient pavement to do so safely.

Question 2

What is the correct way to use the gas pedal when starting on a steep uphill?

Accepted Answer

Use the emergency brake, then transfer to the gas pedal

Answer

Engaging the parking brake temporarily while transferring to the gas pedal prevents rolling backward and allows a smooth uphill start.

Question 3

At what minimum speed is it generally illegal to drive in the far left (passing) lane on a multi-lane highway?

Accepted Answer

Below the speed limit

Answer

In most states, slower vehicles must keep right; driving below the flow of traffic in the left lane is illegal and can be cited as an obstruction.

Question 4

When driving in fog, which lights should you use?

Accepted Answer

Low beams or fog lights

Answer

Low beams and dedicated fog lights angle downward to illuminate the road without reflecting off the fog back into your eyes, which high beams do.

Question 5

If your vehicle starts to skid on ice, you should steer:

Accepted Answer

Into the direction the rear is sliding

Answer

Steering into the skid — turning the front wheels in the same direction the rear is sliding — helps realign the vehicle and restore traction.
