- A At least 3 feet
- B At least 4 feet
- C At least 6 feet
- D At least 2 feet

Pennsylvania requires at least four feet between your vehicle and a bicycle when you pass. If needed and safe, you may cross a double yellow line to give that clearance.

- A At least 100 feet before the turn
- B At least 300 feet before the turn
- C At least 50 feet before the turn
- D Only as you begin to turn the wheel
Show answer
A. At least 100 feet before the turn
Pennsylvania law requires a turn signal at least 100 feet before turning if you are driving under 35 mph, and at least 300 feet before if you are going 35 mph or more.
What do yellow lines on the pavement separate?
- A The bike lane from the travel lane
- B Traffic moving in opposite directions
- C Lanes of traffic moving in the same direction
- D Parking spaces from the travel lane
Show answer
B. Traffic moving in opposite directions
Yellow lines divide traffic going in opposite directions and mark the left edge of divided highways, one-way streets and ramps. White lines separate lanes going the same way and mark the right edge of the road.
If you are under 21, at what BAC are you considered to be driving under the influence in Pennsylvania?
- A .10 or greater
- B .05 or greater
- C .02 or greater
- D .08 or greater
Show answer
C. .02 or greater
Pennsylvania's Zero Tolerance law means drivers under 21 are driving under the influence at a BAC of .02 or greater. In practice, any measurable alcohol can lead to a DUI charge.
What does a flashing yellow arrow mean?
- A The signal is broken, so treat it as a four-way stop
- B You may turn with caution, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians
- C You must stop and wait for a steady green arrow
- D Your turn is protected because oncoming traffic has a red light
Show answer
B. You may turn with caution, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians
A flashing yellow arrow lets you turn in the arrow's direction after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. The turn is not protected, because oncoming traffic has a green light at the same time.
