📖 Topic overview
This section is the largest on the exam and focuses on defensive driving: staying alert, avoiding distractions (Arizona law prohibits holding a wireless device while driving), keeping a safe following distance, and using turn signals correctly.
Roundabouts and freeway rules come up often too — yield to traffic already in a roundabout and enter to the right of the center island, and when merging onto a freeway, match your speed to traffic without crossing a solid line or driving through a gore area.
A common mistake is misjudging when passing on the right is legal — it's only allowed when the other driver is turning left, or on a road clearly marked for two or more lanes in your direction; you should never pass on the right by driving off the paved roadway, and never pass within 100 feet of an intersection, railroad crossing, or bridge.
How does the 3-6 second rule work for following distance?
When the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point, start counting; if you pass that same point before you finish counting to about four seconds, you're following too closely. Give yourself 3 to 6 seconds, increasing the cushion at faster speeds or in poor road conditions.
Who has the right-of-way when entering a roundabout?
Vehicles already inside the roundabout have the right-of-way. As you approach, slow down and yield until there's a safe gap, then enter to the right of the center island.
When is it legal to pass another vehicle on the right?
Only when the other driver is turning left, or on an open highway or business/residential district clearly marked for two or more lanes in your direction. You may never pass on the right by driving off the paved roadway.
