Four or more incorrect answers, and you're done! Think carefully before sharing this with any bad drivers you know, unless you want them asking for rides for the rest of their lives.

Would You Pass The Drivers License Test If You Took It Now?

From the [California Driver Handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "A three-sided red YIELD sign indicates that you must slow down and be ready to stop, if necessary, to let any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian pass before you proceed."

Slow down and be prepared to stop!

From the [New York Driver's Manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "Directions given by traffic officers take precedence over signs, signals or pavement markings. If a traffic officer signals you to stop at a green light, for example, you must stop. If an officer signals you to drive through a red light or stop sign, you must do it."

A traffic officer!

From the [California Driver Handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): A yellow signal light means "CAUTION. The red signal is about to appear." When you see the yellow light, stop if you can do so safely. If you cannot stop safely, cross the intersection cautiously."

Slow down, and be prepared to stop"

From the New York Driver's Manual: "Double solid lines: You can not pass or change lanes. You can not go across the lines except to turn left to enter or leave the highway (e.g., to or from a driveway or to do a U-turn.)"

Only to turn left into a driveway!

From the [California Driver Handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "Flashing Yellow–A flashing yellow signal light warns you to “PROCEED WITH CAUTION.” You do not need to stop for a flashing yellow light, but you ￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼￼must slow down and be especially alert before entering the intersection."

Proceed with caution!

From the [New York Driver’s Manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): STEADY GREEN: Go, but yield the right-of-way to other traffic at the intersection as required by law."

Go, but carefully!

From the back cover of the [New York Driver’s Manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): This sign indicates that a divided highway ends.

Divided highway ends!

From the [New York Driver’s Manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "At intersections not controlled by signs or signals, or where two or more drivers stop at STOP signs at the same time and they are at right angles, the driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right."

The vehicle to the left!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "Begin signaling about 100 feet before the turn. Look over your right shoulder and reduce your speed. Stop behind the limit line. Look both ways and turn when it is safe. Do not turn wide into another lane. Complete your turn in the right lane."

100 feet!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "Pedestrians using guide dogs or white canes with or without a red tip must be given the right-of-way at all times. These pedestrians are partially or totally blind."

At all times!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "When the bus flashes red lights (located at the top front and back of the bus), you must stop from either direction until the children
are safely across the street and the lights stop flashing. The law requires you remain stopped as long as the red lights are flashing. If you fail to stop, you may be fined up to $1,000 and your driving privilege could be suspended for one year. If the school bus is on the other side of a divided or multilane highway (two or more lanes in each direction), you do not need to stop."

Only if the bus is on the other side of a highway!

From the [New York driver’s manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "If another vehicle passes you on the left, decrease speed slightly and keep to the right. When the vehicle has safely passed and is ahead of you, continue your normal speed."

Slow down and stay in your lane!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "Cargo extending more than 4 feet from the back of the vehicle must display a 12-inch red or fluorescent orange square flag or two red lights at night."

A red flag or light!

From the [New York driver’s manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "A BAC of more than .05 percent is legal evidence that you are impaired, a BAC of .08 percent or higher is evidence of intoxication, and a BAC of .18 percent or more is evidence of aggravated driving while intoxicated."

.08% - Eight hundredths of one percent!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "The use of any drug (the law does
 not distinguish between prescription, over-the-counter, or illegal drugs) which impairs your ability to drive safely is illegal."

All of the above!

From the [New York driver’s manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "The only method to effectively reduce your BAC is not to drink over a period of time. Coffee, exercise and cold showers can not reduce your BAC and the effects of alcohol. They can help you remain awake, but it can not change your BAC or make you sober."

Time!

From the [New York driver’s manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "For a 150-pound male, each one of these drinks contains enough alcohol to increase his BAC by about .02 percent. On average, it takes the body approximately one hour to remove that much alcohol. Studies indicate that a woman will take longer to process and remove alcohol from the blood. This can cause a higher BAC over a longer period of time."

About an hour!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "A container of liquor, beer, or wine carried inside the vehicle must be full, sealed, and unopened. Otherwise, it must be kept in the trunk of the vehicle."

In the trunk!

From the [California driver handbook](http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf): "Even people with good hearing cannot hear well if the radio or CD player is blaring. Do not wear a headset or earplugs in both ears while driving; it is against the law."

Headphones!

From the [New York driver’s manual](http://dmv.ny.gov/brochure/mv21.pdf): "If your rear wheels start to skid, turn the steering wheel in the direction the vehicle is trying to go. If your rear wheels slide left, steer left. If they slide right, steer right."

Point your front wheels in the direction the vehicle is moving.

On this abbreviated 20-question version of the driver's license exam, four or more incorrect answers means that you would not pass the exam. Sorry! Looks like you'll have to take the bus from now on!

You would not pass the driver's license exam if you took it now.

Wow. Impressive! Judging by the people you see on the road these days, not many people remember the lessons from their old driver's manuals. Not you, though. You're still an ace behind the wheel.

Congrats! You would pass the driver's license exam if you took it now.
