Delaware Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Agree in advance on a designated driver who will not drink

Arrange to go out with two or more people and agree which one will not drink — a designated driver. You can also use public transportation or a cab.

Correct answer: 8 years

All new Delaware licenses are 8-year licenses. The Class D license fee is $40.00, and you must pass an eye screen at the time of application.

Correct answer: Toward the curb or edge of the road

When headed downhill you must turn your front wheels toward the curb or edge of the road, so the vehicle will roll into the curb rather than into traffic if it moves.

Correct answer: 3 points

Disregarding a stop sign or red light is assessed 3 points. Most other moving violations carry 2 points.

Correct answer: Only when you can get through it without having to stop

You may not enter an intersection unless you can get through it without having to stop. Wait until traffic ahead clears so you do not block the intersection.

Correct answer: Clear snow, ice, and frost from all of your windows

Clear snow, ice, or frost from all windows before driving — the front, sides, and back — so you can see clearly in every direction.

Correct answer: The motorist did not see the cyclist

Many car/cycle crashes occur because the motorist does not see the cyclist. Be especially careful to look for cyclists when entering a roadway or making a turn — intersections are particularly dangerous.

Correct answer: Slow down, be more aware, and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light means slow down, be more aware, and proceed with caution. Be careful of crossing traffic, which is controlled by a flashing red.

Correct answer: 55 mph

Divided roads and roads having four or more lanes are 55 mph, as are controlled-access highways (turnpikes and expressways), unless otherwise posted.

Correct answer: Other drivers do not expect a stopped vehicle and may not stop in time

Do not stop in travel lanes for any reason — confusion, breakdown, or letting out a passenger. Keep moving until you can safely pull off the road.

Correct answer: Weighs less

The lower the weight of the drinker, the lower the amount of alcohol it takes to reach a given BAC. It takes about half as much for a 100-pound person as for a 200-pound person.

Correct answer: No — GDL participation is optional for anyone 18 or older

Participation in the GDL program is optional for anyone 18 or older. A person opting out needs no sponsor but must pass an eye, knowledge, and road-skills exam at the DMV.

Correct answer: Away from the curb, and let the near-side front wheel rest against the curb

When headed uphill and there is a curb, turn your front wheels away from the curb and bring the near-side front wheel into contact with the curb. It is also wise to leave the vehicle in gear.

Correct answer: 8 or more points

The Division may take administrative action against a driver who acquires 8 or more points within a two-year period.

Correct answer: Drivers already in the circle

Drivers entering a traffic circle or rotary must yield to drivers already in the circle.

Correct answer: It can slide, fall, or become airborne onto the roadway

A load is only secure when nothing can slide, fall, or shift onto the roadway or become airborne. A 20-pound object at 55 mph strikes with a force of 1,000 pounds at impact.

Correct answer: A motorcycle is only about two feet wide, compared with the five- to six-foot width of a car

Motorcycles are only about two feet wide compared with the five- to six-foot width of an automobile, so they are not easily identified in traffic and their distance and speed are hard to judge.

Correct answer: Reduce speed and prepare to yield to other vehicles in or approaching the intersection

When a signal is in place but dark with no visible indication, the approaching driver must reduce speed and prepare to yield to other vehicles that are in or approaching the intersection.

Correct answer: No — you must never drive faster than is reasonable for existing conditions

The general speed restriction means you must not drive faster than is reasonable under existing conditions. It is not always lawful to drive as fast as the posted limit — you must control your speed to avoid hitting anyone or anything.

Correct answer: Only to parallel park or, if necessary, to exit a driveway

Never back a vehicle in any travel lane except to parallel park, or if necessary to exit a driveway. Drivers do not expect a vehicle to back toward them.
