▢ If possible, move into a non-adjacent lane; otherwise, slow down

▢ Pull aside and seek for assistance

(D) You may not park your vehicle within 8 feet of a fire hydrant, 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing, or 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection in Rhode Island. (There are other areas where you are not permitted to park.) Look for signs or markings on the road that may ban or limit parking.)

What does this sign denote?

▢ A One Way sign

▢ A stop sign

▢ A yield sign

▢ A Do Not Enter sign

Question 9 - Diagnostic Test

▢ the shoulder

▢ an acceleration lane

▢ Lanes of traffic heading in the same direction are separated by yellow lines

▢ A broken line on your side permits you to pass

▢ White lines separate traffic lanes moving in the same direction

Question 11 - Diagnostic Test

(B) Lanes of traffic flowing in opposite directions are separated by yellow lines. A broken yellow line, a solid yellow line, a double solid yellow line, or a broken yellow line beside a solid yellow line can be used to separate the lanes. If it is safe to do so, you may cross a broken yellow line on your side to pass or change lanes.

Question 12 - Diagnostic Test

▢ change lanes to the left and slow down

▢ move into the right lane and slow down

▢ move into the right lane and come to a complete stop

▢ move to the left lane and pick up the pace

Question 12 - Diagnostic Test

(B) If you are being tailgated, go into the right lane and slow down to allow the tailgater to pass. Don't try to outrun or outpace the tailgater by speeding up. Some tailgaters believe that no speed is too fast.

Question 13 - Diagnostic Test

A steady yellow traffic light at an intersection implies that you must

▢ stop, give way to pedestrians and proceed cautiously

▢ slow down and proceed with extreme caution

▢ accelerate to get past the yellow light before it turns red

▢ stop if you can do so safely

Question 13 - Diagnostic Test

(D) A steady yellow traffic light signifies that the light is soon to turn red. If it is safe to do so, come to a halt. However, don't come to a complete stop and risk being rear-ended by the vehicle in front of you. If you are unable to stop safely, go cautiously into the junction, complete the move you meant to conduct there, then clear the intersection. Never accelerate to beat the light before it turns red.

Question 14 - Diagnostic Test

You should not ________ if your brakes fail while you are on the road.

▢ rub the tires up against a curb

▢ Shift down into a lower gear

▢ stop by colliding head-on with a solid object

▢ pump the brake pedal

Question 14 - Diagnostic Test

(C) Unless your vehicle has antilock brakes, if your brakes fail, push the brake pedal (ABS). Pumping may restore enough brake fluid pressure to slow or stop your vehicle briefly. If your vehicle has ABS, simply depress the brake pedal hard and see whether you begin to slow down. Shift down into a lower gear. This will use the engine's braking force to slow your vehicle. Apply the parking or emergency brake gradually, but be prepared to let go if you begin to slide. Rub against something as a final option to slow you down. Attempt to sideswipe the guard rail, scrape your tires against a curb, or drive onto grass. Allowing a head-on collision is never a good idea. Accidents involving a head-on collision are frequently fatal.

Question 15 - Diagnostic Test

In Rhode Island, if you want to turn, you must begin signaling the turn at least _______ in advance.

▢ 100 feet

▢ 80 feet

▢ 60 feet

▢ 35 feet
