Questions (2)

1. When passing another vehicle, you should:
  1. Make eye contact with the other driver.
  2. Assume the other driver doesn't see you. ✓
  3. Slow down.

Answer: B. Assume the other driver doesn't see you.

When passing another vehicle, assume the other driver does not see you. The handbook says that when you are about to pass a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist, you should assume they do not see you, because they could suddenly move in front of you. It tells you to let them know you are there when it is legal, such as with a light horn tap or by flashing your lights at night, and to stay ready to avoid a crash whether or not they notice you. That supports assuming the other driver does not see you.

2. A lane change:
  1. Should be done quickly.
  2. Should be done slowly. ✓
  3. Should be done with a jerking motion.

Answer: B. Should be done slowly.

A lane change should be done slowly and smoothly, not quickly or with a jerking motion. The handbook's lane-change rule says to signal first and then move over slowly and smoothly. It gives a practical reason: if another driver is in a spot you missed, a gradual move gives that person time to sound the horn or get out of the way. That is why the slow, smooth approach is the one the test expects.
