Sample questions from this test
Who must wear a safety belt in Illinois?
- A Everyone, unless the car has front air bags
- B Only the driver and front-seat passengers
- C All drivers and passengers age 8 and older, front and back seats
- D Only drivers under age 21
Show answer
C. All drivers and passengers age 8 and older, front and back seats
Illinois requires every driver and passenger age 8 and older, in the front and back seats, to wear a belt, even in cars with air bags. Younger children must ride in a child restraint.
In an Illinois business or residential district, how far before a turn must you start a continuous turn signal?
- A At least 50 feet
- B At least 500 feet
- C At least 200 feet
- D At least 100 feet
Show answer
D. At least 100 feet
Signal continuously for at least 100 feet before turning in business or residential areas, and at least 200 feet elsewhere. The longer distance on open roads matches the higher speeds there.
A five-sided yellow-green sign shows two children walking with an arrow pointing down. What does it mean?
- A Children may cross only when a guard is present
- B A school is nearby, but no crossing is here
- C A playground is ahead
- D You are at a school crossing
Show answer
D. You are at a school crossing
The five-sided (pentagon) sign means school zone or school crossing. Two children walking alone means a school is nearby; with a downward-pointing arrow, it marks the crossing itself.
Your BAC tests at .06% but you were weaving across lanes. Can you be convicted of DUI in Illinois?
- A Yes, if your driving ability is impaired
- B No, unless you also caused a crash
- C Only if you are under age 18
- D No, a DUI requires a BAC of .08% or more
Show answer
A. Yes, if your driving ability is impaired
.08% is the level at which driving is automatically illegal, but it is not a safe limit. Alcohol affects your driving even below it, and Illinois can convict you of DUI if your ability is impaired.
No bicyclists are in sight. May you stop in a marked bike lane to drop off a passenger?
- A Yes, as long as you turn on your hazard lights
- B Yes, if you stay with the vehicle
- C No, you may not drive, park, idle or drop off in a bike lane even when it is empty
- D Yes, for up to two minutes
Show answer
C. No, you may not drive, park, idle or drop off in a bike lane even when it is empty
Vehicles may not drive, park, idle, or drop off or pick up passengers in bike lanes, even if no bicyclists are present. A rider could appear at any moment and be forced into traffic.
