Temporary traffic control measures and construction hazards (Correct answer)
A zone where the posted speed limit is doubled
Advisory speed for ideal conditions
A detour that bypasses the area permanently

Correct answer: Temporary traffic control measures and construction hazards

Orange signs in construction zones are temporary signs warning drivers of work zone conditions, changed traffic patterns, and equipment ahead.

Question 17: What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for fully licensed drivers in Quebec?

0.05%.
0.10%.
0.08%. (Correct answer)
0.00%.

Correct answer: 0.08%.

For fully licensed drivers in Quebec (and across Canada), the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08% (80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood). Driving with a BAC at or above this limit is a criminal offense. It's important to note that Quebec also enforces a 'zero tolerance' policy for new drivers and those under 22, meaning their BAC must be 0.00%.

Alcohol has no effect on peripheral vision
Alcohol only affects vision at BAC above 0.15%
Alcohol sharpens peripheral vision by relaxing eye muscles
Alcohol reduces peripheral vision, creating 'tunnel vision' (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Alcohol reduces peripheral vision, creating 'tunnel vision'

Alcohol narrows the field of vision, reducing peripheral awareness and increasing the risk of missing hazards at the sides.

Question 26: You approach a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing and its stop sign extended. You are on the opposite side of a highway that is separated by a median. What must you do?

Proceed with caution, as you are not required to stop because of the median. (Correct answer)

2 seconds
1 second
5 seconds
3 seconds (Correct answer)

Past claims and driving history. (Correct answer)
The number of passengers in the car.
The type of gasoline used.
The color of the vehicle.

Correct answer: Past claims and driving history.

Auto insurance premiums in Quebec, like elsewhere, are primarily influenced by factors that indicate risk. A driver's past claims history, including previous accidents or traffic violations, and their overall driving record (e.g., demerit points, license suspensions) are significant indicators of future risk. These factors directly impact the cost of their insurance policy.

Question 34: A driver is involved in a collision and police suspect impairment. The officer can demand a blood sample if:

Blood tests are never allowed without a judge's warrant
The driver requests a blood test instead of a breathalyzer
The driver appears nervous during questioning

Public intoxication.
Having care or control of a vehicle while impaired. (Correct answer)
Illegal parking.
No offence, as the vehicle was not in motion.

Correct answer: Having care or control of a vehicle while impaired.

The law prohibits not only driving while impaired but also having 'care or control' of a vehicle. This can include being in the driver's seat with the ability to start the vehicle, even if it's not moving. The potential to set the vehicle in motion is sufficient for charges to be laid.

Question 39: Which of the following is NOT typically included in the information found on a Quebec vehicle registration certificate?

The vehicle's licence plate number
Vehicle make, model, and year
The registered owner's name and address
The owner's driving demerit point total (Correct answer)

Question 41: You are driving behind a large truck that is signaling to turn right at an upcoming intersection. The truck suddenly swings into the left portion of its lane. What should you do?

Stay well behind the truck and do not attempt to pass it on the right. (Correct answer)
Quickly accelerate to pass the truck on the left before it completes the turn.
Assume the truck driver has cancelled their turn and attempt to pass on the right.
Honk your horn to alert the driver that they are drifting out of their lane.

Correct answer: Stay well behind the truck and do not attempt to pass it on the right.

Heavy vehicles often need to swing wide to the left to make a right turn. You should anticipate this maneuver, stay a safe distance behind, and never try to pass on the right, as you could end up in the truck's large blind spot and be caught in a collision.

Question 42: In Quebec, how long may a driver with a learner's licence (Class 5 apprentice) drive alone without a supervising driver?

One hour on weekdays
30 minutes in low-traffic areas

It is mandatory for all private sales of vehicles over 5 years old
It is required only if the buyer requests it
It is required when selling a used vehicle with a lapsed registration of more than one year, or when the SAAQ specifically requires it (Correct answer)
It is never required in a private sale

Correct answer: It is required when selling a used vehicle with a lapsed registration of more than one year, or when the SAAQ specifically requires it

A mechanical inspection is mandatory in Quebec private sales when the vehicle's registration has been lapsed for over a year or in other situations the SAAQ designates.

Question 46: When descending a steep hill on an icy road with an automatic transmission, you should:

Put the vehicle in Neutral to avoid engine drag
Keep it in Drive and use the brakes as needed
Shift to a lower gear (L or 2) to use engine braking and apply brakes gently as needed (Correct answer)
Apply the parking brake gradually to control speed

Correct answer: Shift to a lower gear (L or 2) to use engine braking and apply brakes gently as needed

Using a lower gear engages engine braking, reducing reliance on the friction brakes and preventing brake fade on long descents.

Whether food is in the stomach
Body weight of the person
Rate of alcohol consumption
The colour of the alcoholic beverage (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The colour of the alcoholic beverage

The colour of a drink has no effect on alcohol absorption; food, body weight, and drinking speed all do.

Question 48: A friend insists he is fine to drive after three drinks because he 'doesn't feel drunk.' What is the most accurate response?

Eating beforehand means the alcohol did not enter his bloodstream
He is correct; feeling fine means he is below the legal limit
Feeling fine proves his liver is processing the alcohol faster
Tolerance to alcohol's effects does not reduce its actual impairing impact on driving skills (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Tolerance to alcohol's effects does not reduce its actual impairing impact on driving skills

Tolerance makes a person feel less drunk but does not reduce the neurological impairment alcohol causes to driving-related skills.

Question 49: When travelling behind a bicycle on a narrow road where passing is not safe, what should you do?

Follow closely to pressure the cyclist to move aside
Sound your horn repeatedly until the cyclist pulls over
Follow at a safe distance and wait for a safe opportunity to pass (Correct answer)

A turning lane boundary
A bike lane that cannot be crossed
The boundary of the travelled lane on the right side (Correct answer)
The centerline separating opposing traffic

Correct answer: The boundary of the travelled lane on the right side

A solid white edge line marks the right boundary of the roadway, helping drivers stay within the travelled portion of the road.

Question 59: You are driving on a rural road with no sidewalk. You see a pedestrian walking on the shoulder on your side of the road, with their back to your vehicle. What does the Highway Safety Code advise?

Pedestrians are required to walk facing traffic, so this person is violating the code.
You should honk briefly to force the pedestrian to move off the shoulder.
The pedestrian is walking correctly; you should slow down and give them as much space as possible.
While pedestrians should generally walk facing traffic, they are permitted to walk with traffic if it is safer (e.g., wider shoulder, better lighting). (Correct answer)

Correct answer: While pedestrians should generally walk facing traffic, they are permitted to walk with traffic if it is safer (e.g., wider shoulder, better lighting).

The Highway Safety Code states that if there is no sidewalk, pedestrians should walk on the shoulder or side of the roadway, facing oncoming traffic. However, it provides an exception, allowing them to walk with the flow of traffic if that option is safer, for instance, due to a wider shoulder or better lighting on that side.
