Questions (3)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. When asked to make a lane change during the driving test, you should:
- Make the change as soon as the examiner asks, without looking.
- Use your turn signal and change lanes when safe. ✓
- Make the lane change as quickly as possible, even if that means cutting off another driver.
Answer: B. Use your turn signal and change lanes when safe.
You should use your turn signal and change lanes when it is safe, after making the necessary traffic checks. The handbook's on-road driving section says that during lane-change portions of the test you will be asked to move left and then back right. It tells you to make the necessary traffic checks first, then use proper signals and change lanes smoothly when it is safe. The driving-safely section adds that lane changes are a special situation and that you check mirrors before changing lanes to make sure there is room. That supports signaling and waiting for a safe gap rather than moving immediately or rushing.
