WA DMV Sharing the Road 2

Question 1

In Washington, when passing a bicyclist on a roadway, drivers must leave at least how much clearance?

Accepted Answer

Three feet

Answer

Washington law requires drivers to pass bicyclists with at least three feet of clearance, or move fully into the adjacent lane when available.

Question 2

A large truck is signaling a right turn at an intersection and swings slightly left first. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Stay back and do not pass on the right

Answer

Trucks need extra room to make right turns and may swing wide, so squeezing in on the right risks being caught in the turn path.

Question 3

You are driving behind a motorcycle in your lane. How much following distance should you allow compared to following a car?

Accepted Answer

More distance, because motorcycles can stop quickly and are harder to see

Answer

Motorcycles can slow rapidly and their brake lights may be less noticeable, so an increased following distance gives you more time to react.

Question 4

Where are a large truck's blind spots, often called No-Zones, located?

Accepted Answer

On both sides, directly behind, and directly in front of the truck

Answer

Large trucks have No-Zones in front, behind, and along both sides where the driver cannot see other vehicles.

Question 5

A pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog is crossing the street mid-block. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and yield until the pedestrian is safely across

Answer

A white cane or guide dog indicates a blind or low-vision pedestrian, and drivers must always stop and yield to them regardless of location.
