Try three questions

Three questions from the United States (North Carolina) bank, as you'll see them in the app.

  1. An obstruction forces you to drive to the left of center. What must you do?

    1. Keep going without slowing, because you reached the obstruction first
    2. Sound the horn and speed up so that you can get past it quickly
    3. Yield to oncoming vehicles near enough to be an immediate hazard
    4. Yield only to trucks and buses that are coming toward you on the road
    Show the answer

    Answer: Yield to oncoming vehicles near enough to be an immediate hazard

    Using the left side because of an obstruction is allowed only if the driver gives way to oncoming traffic in the proper direction that is near enough to create a hazard. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-146(a)(2).

  2. After you turn left at an intersection, which lane should you end up in?

    1. Always the lane that is the closest one to the median or center
    2. The lane that is farthest from the curb in every case
    3. Any lane at all, provided that you signal before you turn
    4. A lane lawfully open to traffic going the way you entered
    Show the answer

    Answer: A lane lawfully open to traffic going the way you entered

    After a left turn you must end up in a lane open to traffic going the way of the new road. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-153(b).

  3. On which kind of road need a driver going opposite to a stopped school bus not stop?

    1. A two-lane road with a double yellow centerline
    2. A three-lane road that has a center left-turn lane
    3. A road with two lanes each way and no barrier
    4. A road divided into two roadways by a space or barrier
    Show the answer

    Answer: A road divided into two roadways by a space or barrier

    Opposite-direction traffic need not stop where the road is split into two roadways by an intervening space or physical barrier. A center turn lane counts as that space only on roads with at least four lanes, so a three-lane road does not qualify. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 20-217(c).
