When you reach an intersection with a flashing red light in your direction and a flashing yellow in the cross direction, you must:

Stop, then go when safe - cross traffic won't stop

Stop and wait until your light turns solid green

Stop, then go first - cross traffic must yield

Slow down and go - the cross traffic has to stop

In most states, which left turn may you make on a steady red light after a full stop, if no sign forbids it?

From a one-way street onto another one-way street

From a two-way street into a store's driveway

From any street when no oncoming car is in sight

From a two-way street onto another two-way street

What is the 'point of no return' when approaching a yellow light?

The point where you can no longer stop safely

The stop line - once past it you must proceed

The moment the light changes from green to yellow

Exactly 100 feet before the intersection

Sample questions from this test, with answers

Want to test yourself first? Take the test above before reading these. Every answer below is checked against the source shown.

1. Under Indiana law, a driver commits aggressive driving by doing at least how many of the listed unsafe acts (such as tailgating or failing to yield) during one episode of driving?
- A. 2
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. 3 (correct)
Why: Indiana defines aggressive driving as committing at least three listed acts in one continuous episode, such as following too closely, failing to yield, unnecessary horn use, or repeatedly flashing headlights.

2. A slow-moving vehicle emblem (fluorescent orange center with red reflective borders) marks a vehicle that cannot go faster than:
- A. 15 mph
- B. 25 mph (correct)
- C. 35 mph
- D. 45 mph
Why: The emblem identifies vehicles such as farm equipment and animal-drawn vehicles that cannot exceed 25 mph. Use care when approaching and passing them.

3. You see this white sign on the right side of the road. What must you do?
- A. Pass only on the right
- B. Pass only trucks
- C. Do not pass other vehicles (correct)
- D. Do not stop on the road
Why: The white rectangular Do Not Pass sign is a regulatory sign posted on the right side of the road. You may not pass other vehicles where it applies.

4. Worn or bald tires are dangerous primarily because they:
- A. Wear out the brakes faster than normal
- B. Reduce traction and raise the risk of skidding (correct)
- C. Only matter on snow and ice, not on wet pavement
- D. Cause the car to pull hard to one side
Why: Bald or worn tires have little tread to grip the road or channel away water. This dramatically increases stopping distance and the risk of hydroplaning and skidding, especially in wet conditions.

5. A yellow pennant-shaped sign (a long triangle pointing sideways) posted on the left side of the road means:
- A. Passing lane ahead
- B. No passing zone begins (correct)
- C. Divided highway ahead
- D. Road narrows ahead
Why: The no-passing zone sign is the only pennant-shaped sign: a yellow, sideways triangle pointing to the right. It is posted on the left side of the road at the start of a no-passing zone, where a solid yellow line also appears on your side of the centerline.

6. You are behind a school bus on a four-lane highway with a raised median. The bus stops with red lights flashing and its stop arm out. What must you do?
- A. Pass slowly in the left lane
- B. Stop - traffic behind the bus must stop (correct)
- C. Keep going because the road is divided
- D. Stop only if you see children outside
Why: A divided highway may excuse traffic on the opposite side, but never drivers going the same way as the bus. Stay stopped until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm is pulled in.
