Questions (4)
1. When taking the driving test and asked to make a turn, you should:
- Not use a turn signal since you were told to make the turn.
- Check traffic only to your right.
- Check traffic in all directions. ✓
Answer: C. Check traffic in all directions.
When the examiner asks you to make a turn, check traffic in all directions. The handbook's intersection instructions say that when you have been asked to make a turn, you check traffic in all directions, and it repeats that instruction as you approach the intersection. The same section also tells you to use your turn signals and to get into the lane the turn needs, so the turn is not a moment to relax just because someone told you where to go.
2. During the driving test, the examiner will be scoring you on:
- How well-spoken you are.
- How quickly you arrive to your destination.
- General driving behavior. ✓
Answer: C. General driving behavior.
The examiner will be scoring your general driving behavior, along with specific driving maneuvers. The handbook says that during the road test the examiner scores both particular maneuvers and your general driving behavior. It also explains that you follow the examiner's directions, get enough time to respond, and are never asked to drive unsafely. That points to a broad judgment of how you drive overall, which is what the correct choice describes. Speaking ability and arrival speed are not what the scoring is about.
3. During the driving test, the examiner will be scoring you on:
- Attitude.
- How quickly you arrive to your destination.
- Your general driving behavior. ✓
Answer: C. Your general driving behavior.
The examiner scores your general driving behavior, along with specific driving maneuvers. The handbook says that during the road test the examiner scores specific driving maneuvers and your general driving behavior. That makes general driving behavior the listed answer. The examiner gives directions with enough time, and you are not asked to drive unsafely, so the test is about how you handle the vehicle and traffic, not about attitude or speed of completion. A negative attitude can lead to failure under the handbook's list of failure factors, but it is not the scoring category named in the question.
4. When asked to make a turn while taking your driving test, you should:
- Use your turn signal, but only if other cars are present.
- Check traffic only in the direction of the turn.
- Check traffic in all directions. ✓
Answer: C. Check traffic in all directions.
Check traffic in all directions. The handbook's on-road driving section describes what to do when the examiner asks you to turn: after braking smoothly and stopping if needed, you check traffic in all directions, signal, and move into the lane needed for the turn. It also says to check traffic thoroughly in all directions as you approach an intersection. That supports checking everywhere, not just toward the turn, and using the signal as part of the turn, not only when cars appear.
