Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Treat the intersection as a four-way stop

If a signal is dark and no law enforcement is present, treat the intersection as a four-way stop.

9. What color are regulatory signs that control traffic, set limits, or give commands (other than stop, yield, and prohibitions)?

Correct answer: White with black letters

Regulatory signs such as speed limits are white with black letters. They control traffic and are enforceable by law.

10. When you complete a right turn, which lane should you turn into?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: The right lane of the roadway you are entering

Finish a right turn in the right lane of the road you enter. Staying in the proper lane through the turn prevents crashes with vehicles beside you.

11. In a DUI crash involving death or serious injury, can a blood test be taken without your consent?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Yes — you are required to take a blood test with or without consent

In DUI cases involving death or serious injury, you are required to take a blood test with or without your consent; it may even be drawn while you are unconscious.

12. While correcting a skid, which way should you turn your front tires?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: In the direction you want the vehicle to go

Steer in the direction of the skid — turn the front tires the way you want the vehicle to go — while keeping off the brakes if you can.

Show answer & explanation

14. What proof of insurance must you keep with you while driving?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A Florida Insurance ID Card (or electronic proof on a smartphone)

Always carry proof of insurance — the Florida Insurance ID Card or electronic proof on a smartphone. You may receive a citation if you cannot show it when stopped.

15. Which statement best describes how right-of-way works?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: The law says who must yield — right-of-way is given, not taken

Right-of-way rules say who must yield. It is something you give to others, never something you simply take — every driver must do all they can to avoid a crash.

16. Driving too slowly in Florida is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Also against the law if you block or delay normal, safe traffic

The "No Zone" refers to a commercial truck's large blind spots in front, behind, and on both sides. If you cannot see the driver, the driver cannot see you.

18. At a red light with no NO TURN ON RED sign, when may you turn right?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: After coming to a complete stop and yielding, when the way is clear

You may turn right on red only after a full stop, and only when there is no NO TURN ON RED sign and the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians.
