8. Which practice matches current child passenger safety guidance?
Show answer

A rear facing seat spreads crash forces across the child's whole back, so it should be used as long as the seat allows, and never in front of an active passenger air bag.
-
9. An ambulance has just gone by and traffic starts to move again. Why should you wait a moment before pulling back out?

Uniform shapes and colors let a driver classify a sign as regulatory, warning or guide from a distance, before the legend can be read.
-

-
14. A sign reads MINIMUM SPEED 40. What does it require of a driver?

Show answer

-
18. How much should you normally reduce your speed on a road covered with packed snow compared with dry conditions?
Show answer
Answer C: By about half
Packed snow roughly doubles the distance needed to stop, so a common guideline is to cut speed by about half. On ice, slow to a crawl.
-
19. Your right-turn lane shows a green arrow while the through lanes face a red ball. What does that mean?
Show answer
Answer C: Only the right turn is allowed, and it is protected while the arrow lasts
A green arrow gives a protected movement in that direction only; the red ball still stops the through traffic in the other lanes.
-
20. The green left-turn arrow ends and a steady red ball comes on for your lane, at an intersection where no turn on red is allowed. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Stop and wait, because no turn is allowed while the red ball is lit
Once a red indication faces your lane and no turn on red is permitted there, the turn is over; only a vehicle already inside the intersection completes its movement.

-
23. You are the first driver on a road just after a storm. What should you plan for?
Show answer
Answer B: Branches, mud and other debris hidden around the next bend
Storm debris lands where nobody has cleared it yet, often just beyond a curve or a crest, so reduce speed and look much further ahead.
-
24. What application fee does Kansas charge a driver who asks to convert a suspension into ignition interlock restricted status?
Show answer

K.S.A. 8-1015 sets a 100 dollar application fee for modifying a suspension to restricted ignition interlock status.
