Sample turning & signaling questions
How far ahead should you signal before turning or moving right or left?
- A At least 50 feet
- B At least 100 feet
- C At least 300 feet
- D At least 500 feet
Show answer
B. At least 100 feet
Signal at least 100 feet before you turn or move left or right. An early signal gives other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians time to react.
How should you position your car when making a right turn?
- A In the center of the road
- B Swing wide to the left first so the turn is easier to make
- C In whichever lane has the least traffic
- D As close as practical to the right side of the road
Show answer
D. As close as practical to the right side of the road
A right turn should be made as close as practical to the right side of the road. Staying close to the curb keeps other vehicles from squeezing in beside you.
At an intersection with two turn lanes side by side, you are turning from the lane farther from the curb (the second lane). Into which lane should you turn?
- A The lane shown by the lane line, the second lane from the curb
- B The lane nearest the curb
- C Any open lane on the new street
- D The far left lane, then move right
Show answer
A. The lane shown by the lane line, the second lane from the curb
With double turning lanes, the lane nearest the curb turns into the lane nearest the curb. The second lane follows the lane line into its matching lane, so the two cars do not collide.
On a road with no marked center turn lane, how should you make a left turn?
- A From the right lane into the left lane
- B From the left lane into any lane of the new road
- C From the center of the road into the right lane
- D From the left lane into the left lane
Show answer
D. From the left lane into the left lane
When no center lane is marked, start the left turn from the left lane lawfully available and end it in the left lane lawfully available. This keeps your path predictable for other drivers.
