Questions (3)
1. When changing lanes, turn signals:
- Should not be used.
- Should only be used if a vehicle is close to you.
- Should be used each time. ✓
Answer: C. Should be used each time.
Turn signals should be used each time you change lanes. The handbook's lane-change instructions start with putting your turn signal on before you change lanes, and it tells you to check your mirrors again after you have signaled to confirm nobody slipped into your blind spot. The on-road section repeats that you activate turn signals when required and cancel them once the lane change is finished. Nothing in these passages makes signaling depend on whether another vehicle happens to be near you, so the signal is simply part of every lane change.
2. During the driving test, when asked to make a lane change:
- You should not be concerned with other motorists.
- You should use your turn signal and change lanes when safe. ✓
- You should make the lane change as quickly as possible, even if that means cutting off another driver.
Answer: B. You should use your turn signal and change lanes when safe.
You should use your turn signal and make the lane change only when it is safe to do so. The handbook's lane-change section says that during the driving test you first make the necessary traffic checks, then use proper signals, and then change lanes smoothly when it is safe. Section 2 adds that you must check your mirrors before changing lanes, after signaling, and again as you start, to be sure no one is alongside you or in your blind spot. Signaling and waiting for a safe gap are what the test is looking for.
3. To change lanes, you should:
- Move quickly.
- Move slowly and smoothly. ✓
- Hold down your horn.
Answer: B. Move slowly and smoothly.
