📖 Topic overview
This is the platform's biggest chapter — it walks through the physical mechanics of driving from starting the engine to parking, including steering hand position, backing up safely, and the following-distance and full-stop situations drivers are expected to know (stop lines, pedestrians on sidewalks, insufficient space across an intersection).
A large share of the content is intersections and turning: how far ahead to signal, correct lane positioning for right vs. left turns, and the two different rules for turning on red — right on red is allowed unless posted otherwise, but left on red is allowed only from the far-left lane of a one-way street onto another one-way street. Roundabouts get their own rules too — yield to circulating traffic, don't change lanes once inside, and the exit you take (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th) determines whether you're turning right, going straight, turning left, or making a U-turn.
The chapter also covers when passing is prohibited (oncoming traffic, blocked view, intersections, railroad crossings), the specific stop distance at a railroad crossing, and the school bus stopping rule — which changes depending on how many lanes the road has and whether you're behind the bus or approaching from the opposite direction.
What's the difference between the right-on-red and left-on-red rules?
A right turn on red is allowed at most intersections unless a sign specifically prohibits it. A left turn on red is far more limited — it's only allowed when you're in the far-left lane of a one-way street turning onto another one-way street, and only if no sign forbids it.
How do I know which exit to take in a roundabout?
The exit position tells you the turn: the 1st exit is a right turn, the 2nd is going straight, the 3rd is a left turn, and the 4th would be a U-turn — plan which exit you need before entering, since you can't change lanes once inside.
Does everyone have to stop the same distance from a stopped school bus?
No — the stopping rule depends on the road: on a road with fewer than four lanes, traffic from both directions must stop at least 10 feet from the bus; on a road with four or more lanes, only traffic going the same direction as the bus has to stop — oncoming traffic on the other side does not.
