What is the maximum speed of a slow moving vehicle? 25 i think. it's different for different states right?
What are four places in which you shouldn't pass? tis is kinda confusing, but the driver's blind spot, when you know there will not be enough spass for the pass, when you see traffic coming in the other direction (if you're one a two-way street with only one lane in each direction and you use the other lane for passing), and i dunno what the fourth one is.
A __________ driver looks out for the actions of himself and others around him. cautious, careful, good, anything with good or responsible
vienna waits 05-12-2002, 04:34 PM Good job they all seem right to me except for the passing things. What I actually mean't was places like No passing zones, bridges, curves, railroads. I think you know your stuff though. :D

it's now the 3 second rule, you pick an object and you count one-thousand, tow-thousand, three thousand and if you pass it before 3 seconds, you are too close to the person in front of you. i don't think i worded it right, but i do know what it means.

It's still two here. But two is the minimum. It's actually recommended you stay 3 seconds away. I just graduated Drivers Ed last Friday. lol:D I don't know what I'm going to do tonight though because I've been used to going there for three weeks in a row for two hours every night! lol

InspectorExstead 05-13-2002, 09:34 PM What is the "Wheels on Pavement" rule? umm, i have noo idea.
You are at an red light where a policeman is directing trafiic. Your light is red put the cop is waving you through. What do you do? follow the police man, this was like the 4th question on the test. lol.
What time should you turn your headlights on? 30 mins before sunrise, 30 mins after sunset
What is the maximum speed limit in residential areas? 25?
At a 4-way stop sign, who has the right of way? the person on your right, remember you never have the right-of-way, someone else must give it to you.
What is the maximum speed on the highway? 65
What do you use your hazard lights for? if you have to pull over and you know ppl may not see you?
If you are parked on the side of a street that is on a hill and you are facing down, which way do you turn your wheels? when you park uphill you turn the wheels away from the curb, when you park downhill, towards the curb.
If you are parked on the side of a street that is on a hill and you are facing up, which way do you turn your wheels? umm, just answered that.
What do orange signs mean? yellow? red? red means stop, yellow means slow down, proceed with caution becuase the light will turn red and green means go go go!
What steps (in order) should you do when you first get into a car BEFORE you start the engine? first check your tires, then check your headlights and adjust your mirrors.
anyway...i took the test. i just felt like answering those cuz i was bored. i passed! YAY! it was easy. i only missed 4. go me. thanx for your help everyone.

LOL The Wheels on Pavement rule states that when you come to a stop behind a vehicle, you should be able to see the vehicles back wheels on the pavement in front of you.
