✍️ Sample RTA Questions & Answers

1. What happens to a driver's license after a second DUI conviction in most states?
✓ Longer suspension or revocation, often with ignition interlock required

A second DUI typically results in a longer suspension or revocation and may require an ignition interlock device upon reinstatement.

2. When parallel parking, at what point during the maneuver should you straighten your wheels?
✓ When your vehicle is about two-thirds into the space

You straighten your wheels when approximately two-thirds into the space, then turn the opposite way to align with the curb.

3. When a traffic signal is completely dark (no lights working), how should a driver treat the intersection?
✓ Treat it as a four-way stop

A dark traffic signal must be treated as a four-way stop, with drivers stopping and yielding in turn.

4. A solid white line between lanes on a highway indicates:
✓ Lane changes are discouraged but not prohibited

A solid white line discourages lane changes but does not legally prohibit them the way a double solid line might in certain zones.

5. What should a driver do when driving in heavy rain or fog?
✓ Reduce speed and use low-beam headlights

In conditions of heavy rain or fog, visibility is severely reduced, necessitating a reduction in speed to allow for increased reaction time. Drivers should use low-beam headlights because high beams reflect off moisture particles in the air, worsening visibility for the driver and potentially blinding oncoming traffic. This combination ensures better control and visibility in adverse weather.

6. If your car begins to skid on a slippery road surface, what is the correct way to steer to regain control?
✓ Gently steer in the same direction that the rear of the vehicle is sliding.

To correct a skid, you should steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go, which is often described as 'steering into the skid.' For example, if the rear of your car slides to the right, you should gently steer to the right. This helps the tires regain traction and straightens the vehicle. Over-correcting or braking hard can make the skid worse.
