DMV California Driving Test Witten

1.

A solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line means that vehicles:

Driving in both directions may pass.
Next to the broken line may pass.
Next to the solid line may pass.

Explanation ▾

Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. A broken yellow line next to your driving lane means that you may pass.

2.

In which of the following scenarios should your wheels not be pointed straight ahead?

When waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light.
When parked on a hill or sloping driveway.
When parked on the side of a level roadway where there is no curb.

Explanation ▾

While waiting to turn left, keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. If a vehicle hits you from behind, this will prevent you from veering into oncoming traffic. When parked facing either uphill or downhill, turn the wheels so the vehicle will not roll into traffic if the brakes fail.

3.

Animals may be transported in the back of a pickup truck only if:

The sides of the truck bed are at least 18 inches high.
They are properly secured.
The tailgate of the truck is closed.

Explanation ▾

An animal must not be transported in the back of a pickup or other truck unless the animal is properly secured to prevent it from falling, jumping, or being thrown from the vehicle.

4.

Flash your brake lights or turn on your emergency flashers if you:

Need to warn other drivers of a collision ahead.
Are temporarily parked in a traffic lane to make delivery.
Are backing out of a parking space.

Explanation ▾

If you can see a collision ahead, warn the drivers behind you by turning on your emergency flashers or by tapping your brake pedal quickly three or four times.

5.

When planning to pass another vehicle, you should:

Not count on other drivers to make room for you.
Assume the driver will let you pass if you use your turn signal.
Assume the driver will maintain a constant speed.

Explanation ▾

When planning to pass, do not count on having enough time to pass several vehicles at once or assume that other drivers will make room for you. When you can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to your driving lane.

6.

Check your rearview mirrors:

Often to see how traffic is moving behind you.
To see if a vehicle is in your blind spot.
Only when you are slowing down.

Explanation ▾

When driving, do not develop a fixed stare. Frequently check your rearview mirrors so you know the positions of vehicles near you.

7.

If a road is slippery, maintain a following distance that is:

No different than normal.
Farther from the car ahead than normal.
Closer to the car ahead than normal.

Explanation ▾

You need a longer distance to stop your vehicle on a slippery road than you do on a dry road. Maintain an increased following distance when driving on slippery roads.

8.

Allow extra space in front of your vehicle when following a:

Station wagon.
Passenger vehicle.
Motorcycle.

Explanation ▾

Allow for extra space when driving behind a motorcycle. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than other vehicles can and you must have adequate room to stop if the motorcyclist brakes or falls off. Also, remember that motorcycles are difficult to see at night because they only have one tail light.

9.

You must notify the DMV within five days if you:

Are cited for a traffic violation.
Sell or transfer your vehicle.
Paint your vehicle a different color.
