Questions (3)
1. When changing lanes, you should:
- Move quickly, before other vehicles can enter into the lane.
- Move slowly in case another vehicle is in the lane. ✓
- Not use a turn signal.
- Avoid the right lane.
Answer: B. Move slowly in case another vehicle is in the lane.
You should move slowly and smoothly when changing lanes, in case another vehicle is in the lane. The handbook says to signal before changing lanes, then change lanes slowly and smoothly. It explains that this gives a driver you did not see a chance to honk or avoid your vehicle. That matches moving slowly in case another vehicle is already there. The goal is not to hurry across; it is to give yourself and others time to react.
2. When making a lane change, your turn signal:
- Should always be used. ✓
- Should only be used if there is traffic present.
- Should only be used between dusk and dawn.
Answer: A. Should always be used.
Your turn signal should always be used when you make a lane change. The handbook says to use turn signals properly, activate them when required and at appropriate times, and cancel them after completing a turn or lane change. It also describes using the turn signal as part of moving into the lane you need. Nothing in these passages makes signaling a lane change depend on traffic being present or on the time of day, so the signal is treated as a normal part of the lane change itself.
3. When changing lanes:
- You should move your vehicle quickly.
- You should move your vehicle slowly. ✓
- The move should be made with a jerking motion.
- You do not need to use a turn signal.
Answer: B. You should move your vehicle slowly.
You should move your vehicle slowly when changing lanes. The handbook says to put your turn signal on before changing lanes, then change lanes slowly and smoothly. That slow, smooth move gives a driver you did not see a chance to honk or avoid you. Moving slowly is the answer that matches the handbook; the passage does not support quick movements or jerking the vehicle.
