The Sewing Mom

This week I have been so focused on getting my Texas driver’s license that I decided it was an appropriate subject for my second Thursday Thirteen.

After spending several hours studying for a written test that I wound up not having to take (thank goodness), I decided to post 13 of the 84 questions that are on the driver’s license review. These are potential questions on the actual test.  I leave it to you to figure out the answers. 

1. What does a “Do Not Pass” sign mean?
2. How should you react when a traffic officer tells you to do something which is ordinarily considered to be against the law?
3. What effects does the use of marijuana and amphetamine have on driving?
4. How should you react to a flashing red light?
5. What action should you take if you fail to receive the renewal notice card reminding you that your driver liecense is about to expire?
6. Once the brakes have been applied, about how many feet does a car which was going 70 mph travel before it comes to a stop?
7. About how many feet will the average driver going 50 mph travel from the moment he sees danger until he hits the brakes?
8. What should you do if you discover you are in the wrong lane to make a turn as you enter an intersection?
9. What is carbon monoxide, and how may it be harmful to drivers?  (clue:  the word deadly is in the answer to the first part of this question)
10. What regulation should a bicycle rider observe?  (I thought I was studying for the driver test, not the cyclist test)
11. When are bicyclists allowed to ride two abreast in a traffic lane?
12. What should you do when coming onto a street from a private alley or driveway?
13. What are the penalties for minors (persons under the age of 21) convicted of non-driving alcohol related offenses?  (if they’re not driving, why is it on the driving test?)
