The following must be exchanged between drivers: your name and address, vehicle registration number, and your insurance information, including the provider’s name and phone number.

Correct answer: Drivers already on the public road

When coming from a driveway or a private road, you must yield the right-of-way to drivers already on the public road.

Correct answer: Voice commands are used to connect the call (hands-free)

Utah law allows drivers over 18 to talk on an HWC device while driving as long as voice commands are used to connect to the call. Hands-free and voice-activated technology may also be used for GPS and to report hazards, crime, or emergencies.

Correct answer: Check to the sides and rear for bicyclists

When parking on the street, check to the sides and rear for bicyclists before opening your vehicle door. You should also always check for bicyclists in your path before backing.

Correct answer: The light is about to change to red

A yellow light warns that the signal is about to change to red. You should prepare to stop safely before the intersection.

Correct answer: 25 mph

Correct answer: For two seconds before a turn or lane change, and any time you pull to or from a curb

Signal for two seconds before turning, for two seconds before any lane change, and any time you pull to or from a curb. Good drivers always signal their intentions well in advance.

Correct answer: 0.05

If you are over 0.05 BAC (0.04 for a CDL), you violate the law. Utah has the strictest DUI limit in the nation — do not assume the 0.08 used in most other states.

Correct answer: A motorcycle (M) endorsement

A Class D license does not permit you to ride a motorcycle. You need a motorcycle (M) endorsement, which is added to your license after passing the motorcycle tests.

Correct answer: On a freeway or interstate

Do not back up on a freeway or interstate. Keep your vehicle on the right-hand side of the road and do not back unnecessarily long distances.

It is a third-degree felony to fail to stop at the scene of an injury crash. You are also required to render reasonable assistance to anyone injured.

Correct answer: Drivers already on the interstate

On an entrance ramp you must yield to drivers already on the interstate highway. Use the acceleration lane to match traffic speed, find a gap, and merge safely.

Correct answer: During a medical emergency, to report a safety hazard or crime, or to contact a parent or legal guardian

Drivers under 18 may only use an HWC device while driving during a medical emergency, to report a safety hazard, to report criminal activity, or to communicate with a parent or legal guardian.

Correct answer: Drive to the right side of the road and stop until it has passed

When police cars, fire engines, ambulances, or other emergency vehicles approach using sirens or emergency lights, you must yield — drive at once to the right side of the road and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed.

Correct answer: Stop and look both ways before entering the intersection

A flashing red light means stop and look both ways before entering the intersection — the same as a stop sign.

Correct answer: 55 mph

On major highways the limit is 55 mph as posted. Rural interstate highways may be posted higher, at 65, 70, 75, or 80 mph.

Correct answer: The area between the solid white lines of a traffic lane and an entrance or exit lane — it is illegal to drive on or cross it

The gore area is between the solid white lines of a traffic lane and a lane used to enter or exit that lane. It is against the law to cross over or drive in the gore area — do not cross the solid white line.
