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. Honk your horn.
  4. Wave to other drivers.

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

When passing another vehicle, you should assume the other driver does not see you. The handbook's communication section says other drivers may not notice your vehicle even when it is plainly visible. For passing, it gives a specific rule: whenever you are about to pass a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist, assume they do not see you, because they could suddenly move in front of you. That is why you should expect the other driver to be unaware of you and drive carefully enough to avoid a crash, using a light horn tap or a night-time light flash only when it is legal.
2. During the driving test, when asked to make a lane change:
  1. You should not be concerned with other motorists.
  2. You should use your turn signal and change lanes when safe. ✓
  3. 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.
