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. A school bus stops with red lights flashing on a Utah road that has four lanes and no median. Who must stop?
- A. Only traffic behind the bus
- B. Traffic in both directions (correct)
- C. Only the lane next to the bus
- D. Only traffic in the right lanes
Why: On a four-lane road without a median, drivers in both directions must stop and stay stopped until the flashing red lights turn off. A median changes the rule for oncoming traffic.

2. A Utah driver age 21 or older refuses a chemical test after a DUI arrest. For a first refusal, the license is revoked for:
- A. 6 months
- B. 18 months (correct)
- C. 120 days
- D. 36 months
Why: Under Utah's implied consent law, a first refusal brings an 18-month revocation and a second brings 36 months. Drivers under 21 face two years or until age 21, whichever is longer.

3. Which of these will sober up a person who has been drinking?
- A. Drinking strong coffee
- B. Eating a big meal
- C. Taking a cold shower
- D. Only time (correct)
Why: Only time removes alcohol from the body. Coffee, food and a cold shower do not lower blood alcohol, so the person is still impaired.

4. What does a yellow pennant-shaped sign (a sideways triangle pointing right) on the left side of the road mean?
- A. Merge ahead
- B. No-passing zone begins (correct)
- C. A sharp curve
- D. Passing lane begins ahead
Why: A yellow pennant-shaped sign on the left side of the road marks the beginning of a no-passing zone. It supplements the solid yellow line on the pavement.
5. A yellow diamond sign showing a 'T' shape indicates:
- A. A side road enters from one side
- B. Your road ends at a T ahead (correct)
- C. A four-way crossroad ahead
- D. A truck route begins here
Why: A 'T' symbol warns that the road you are on ends ahead at a T-intersection. Be prepared to stop or yield and turn left or right.
6. A 'LANE ENDS' warning sign (showing one lane merging into another) means:
- A. Your lane ends - merge over (correct)
- B. A new lane opens on your right
- C. The highway ends ahead
- D. Two-way traffic ahead
Why: A lane-ends sign warns that the number of lanes is being reduced ahead. Merge safely into the continuing lane before your lane disappears.
