FREE Motor Vehicle Division Traffic Laws and Regulations Questions and Answers

Question 1

A driver is approaching an intersection with no traffic signals or signs. Another vehicle arrives at the same time on the cross street to the driver's right. Which of the following actions should the driver take?

Accepted Answer

Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.

Answer

At an uncontrolled intersection where two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right. This is a fundamental rule to prevent collisions in the absence of traffic controls.

Question 2

Under the 'Move Over Law,' when approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with its lights flashing on the side of a multi-lane highway, what is the primary action a driver should take?

Accepted Answer

Safely move into a lane not immediately adjacent to the emergency vehicle.

Answer

The 'Move Over Law' in all 50 states requires drivers to change lanes to give a one-lane buffer to stationary emergency vehicles with flashing lights. If changing lanes is unsafe or not possible, the driver must slow down to a reasonable speed.

Question 3

A school bus is stopped on a two-lane, undivided road with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. A vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction. What is the vehicle legally required to do?

Accepted Answer

Stop at least 20 feet away from the bus and wait.

Answer

When a school bus has its red lights flashing on an undivided road, all traffic from both directions must stop. This is to ensure the safety of children who may be crossing the street. Drivers must remain stopped until the red lights are turned off and the stop arm is retracted.

Question 4

A driver is at an all-way stop. They arrived at the same time as another vehicle on their left. Which vehicle has the right-of-way to proceed first?

Accepted Answer

The driver's vehicle (the one on the right).

Answer

At an all-way stop, if two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.

Question 5

When making a left turn at a standard circular green light (not a green arrow), which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

The turning vehicle must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Answer

A driver making a left turn on a solid green light does not have the right-of-way and must yield to all oncoming traffic and to any pedestrians crossing within the crosswalk. The turn can only be completed when it is safe to do so.
