• ABe cautious of pedestrians
• BDo not block the intersection
• CWatch for traffic signals
• DDo not slow down

Why: The do not block intersection sign warns you not to enter the intersection if traffic is blocked beyond it, because you might end up blocking the intersection for the cross traffic. This warning sign is rectangular rather than diamond-shaped because of its relatively long text.

128. What does this road sign mean?

• AVehicles that stop at this red light will be photographed
• BThere are police officers at this intersection
• CYou must stop for a red light at this intersection
• DVehicles that don't stop at this red light will be photographed

• DUnder 0.02

Why: Ontario has zero tolerance for novice (G1/G2) and young drivers. Your blood-alcohol level must be zero.

• AYou may go straight
• BYou may turn left
• CYou may turn right
• DAll of the above

Why: When you face a flashing green light, or a left-pointing green arrow and a green light, you may turn left, go straight ahead or turn right from the proper lane. This is called an advanced green light, because oncoming traffic is stopped at a red light. Pedestrians must not cross on a flashing green light unless a pedestrian signal tells them to.

• AContinue through the intersection without slowing or stopping
• BSpeed up to get past the yellow light before it turns red
• CStop, if a stop cannot be made safely, proceed with caution

• C5 years
• D4 years

Why: A G1 learner driver may practise driving under the supervision of a driver who holds a valid class G or higher licence, has a blood alcohol concentration of less than 0.05%, and has at least four years of driving experience. This accompanying driver must be the only passenger in the front seat.

• ATraffic is light
• BAccompanied by a licensed driving instructor
• CIt is daytime
• DNever under any condition

Why: G1 drivers may not drive on 400-series highways or other high-speed expressways unless their accompanying driver is a licensed driving instructor.

• AHow fast you can react to obstacles
• BHow fast you are travelling
• CWhether you are following at a safe distance
• DHow much gas you will save

Why: A safe following distance is at least two seconds behind the vehicle you are following. This lets you see around the vehicle ahead and gives you enough space to stop suddenly if necessary. To estimate the time, wait until the rear end of the vehicle in front of you passes any fixed point on the roadway, such as a road sign. As you count to yourself the elapsed time in seconds, the front of your car should pass the same point no less than two seconds later.

• ARemain stopped until the bus proceeds or the red signal lights stop flashing
• BIt does not matter, as long as you sound your horn
• CSlow down and pass with care
• DWait for approaching vehicles to pass

Why: Whenever you approach a stopped school bus with its upper alternating red lights flashing, you must stop for it, regardless of whether you are behind the bus or approaching it from the front. The only exception is if the school bus is stopped on the opposite side of a roadway divided by a median strip.

• ASignal and stop
• BSlow down and proceed with caution
• CStop, then edge into traffic
• DSignal and slow down

Why: Before you turn, you must signal your intention well in advance, and at a red light you must come to a complete stop. Then make the turn so as not to interfere with other traffic, including pedestrians.

• ASignal the driver to pass
• BContinue at the same speed
• CSpeed up and get out of the way
• DPull to the right as far as possible and stop

Why: Pull to the right as far as possible and stop. Remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed, don't worry, other drivers will do the same.

• AHonk as you pass
• BSlow down and, on a multi-lane road, move over to leave a lane of space if it is safe
• CStop completely
• DMaintain your speed

Why: Slow down and proceed with caution. On a road with more than one lane in your direction, move into another lane to leave space if you can do so safely.

• AYou can change lanes
• BDrive in a counterclockwise direction
• CDrive in a clockwise direction
• DYou can stop

Why: When you are in a roundabout, keep right of the central island and drive in the counterclockwise direction until you reach your exit. Don't pass large vehicles or change lanes, and don't stop inside the roundabout except if necessary to avoid a collision.

• ABetween half an hour before sunset and half an hour after sunrise, and at any other time you cannot see clearly for a distance of 150 m
• BBetween half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise, and at any other time you cannot see clearly for a distance of 150 m
• CBetween dusk and dawn, and at any other time you cannot see clearly for a distance of 150 m
• DBetween sunset and sunrise, and at any other time you cannot see clearly for a distance of 150 m

Why: You must turn your headlights on between half an hour before sunset and half an hour after sunrise, and whenever fog, snow or rain keeps you from clearly seeing people or vehicles less than 150 m away.

• A20 m
• B5 m
• C3 m
• D15 m

Why: Do not park within 3 m of a fire hydrant, on or within 100 m of a bridge, or within 6 m of a public entrance to a hotel, theatre or public hall when it is open to the public.

• ASlow down and weave around pedestrians
• BStop and yield the whole crossover to pedestrians, and not pass another vehicle stopped there
• CProceed if the pedestrian is on the far side
• DSound the horn to warn pedestrians

Why: Stop and yield to pedestrians at a crossover, let them cross the entire road, and never pass a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian crossover.

• ASteer in the direction you want to go
• BSteer straight ahead
• CApply the brakes hard
• DSteer in the opposite direction of the skid

Why: Straighten out your steering wheel slowly. Don't turn your steering wheel in different directions while trying to correct the skid, work on one direction at a time. If you've oversteered and the vehicle slides in the opposite direction, repeat the same procedure. Always steer in the direction you want to go.

• AIncreases the risk of a collision
• BIs acceptable
• CShould be avoided, but it isn't illegal
• DIs a good way to multitask

Why: Using a cell phone while driving takes the driver's attention away from the task of driving and increases the risk of a collision. In Ontario, it is illegal to use a hand-held cell phone while you are driving.

• A60 days
• B90 days
• C30 days
• D14 days

Why: A fully licensed driver whose record reaches 15 or more demerit points has their licence suspended for 30 days. The driver must surrender their licence to the Ministry of Transportation, if they fail to do so, they may lose it for up to two years.

• ACheck the mirrors and signal
• BUse the horn
• CActivate the emergency signals
• DMove into the new lane as fast as possible

Why: Before changing lanes, the driver should make sure it is safe by checking the mirrors and doing a shoulder check to check the blind spot. Then the driver should signal and move gradually into the new lane.

• APass only when no traffic is in sight
• BIt is safe to pass
• CIt is unsafe to pass
• DIt is safe to pass in the daytime

Why: A solid line at the left of your lane means it is unsafe to pass. A broken line at the left of your lane means you may pass if the way is clear.

• AWear a seat belt only on the highway
• BWear a properly fastened seat belt (or be in a correct child seat) at all times
• CWear a seat belt only in the front seats
• DWear a seat belt only if under 18

Why: The driver and every passenger must wear a properly adjusted seat belt or use an appropriate child car seat/booster. The driver is responsible for passengers under 16.

• ASpeed up to get past it
• BSlow down and prepare to stop, it is about to load or unload children
• CIgnore it until the red lights flash
• DPass on the left immediately

Why: Flashing amber lights mean the bus is about to stop to load or unload children. Slow down and be ready to stop for the flashing red lights.

• ALook at the headlights of the approaching vehicle
• BOpen and shut your eyes rapidly
• CLook to the right edge of the roadway
• DTurn on your high-beam headlights

Why: To reduce glare, don't look directly at the headlights of oncoming traffic. Instead, look to the right edge of the roadway. To cut glare from the rear, adjust your rear-view mirror or use a day/night mirror. Reduce your speed until your eyes have recovered from the glare.

• AGiving the proper signal and looking to make sure that the lane change can be performed safely
• BLooking into the rear-view mirror only
• CBlowing your horn and looking to make sure that the lane change can be performed safely
• DGiving the proper signal and slowing down

Why: Before changing lanes, you must always give the proper signal and look to make sure the move can be made safely. First check your mirrors, then look over your shoulder to check your blind spots.

• AEnsure that the tires of your vehicle are inflated to the proper tire pressures
• BEnsure that the tires on your vehicle have good tread depth
• CSlow down when driving in the rain
• DDo all of the above

Why: At higher speeds on a wet road, your tires may lose their grip on the road and ride like skis on the film of water. This is called hydroplaning. It is more likely to happen if your tires are worn or underinflated.

• AThe largest vehicle
• BThe driver who stops first, if two stop together, the one on the right goes first
• CWhoever arrives fastest
• DThe vehicle turning left

Why: At an all-way stop, the first vehicle to stop goes first. If two stop at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way.

• AMake a U-turn
• BStop on the shoulder and check your map
• CBack up if there are no other vehicles around
• DTake the nearest exit

Why: If you miss your exit on an expressway, do not stop, back up, or attempt to make a U-turn, you will increase your risk of being hit by another vehicle. Instead, get off the highway at the next exit and find a way to get back.

• AYour parking lights and high-beam headlights
• BHigh-beam headlights
• CLow-beam headlights
• DParking lights

Why: If there is a fog warning, delay your trip until it clears if possible. If you must drive in fog, use your low-beam headlights, high beams reflect off the moisture droplets in the fog, making it harder to see. You may also use fog lights if your vehicle is equipped with them. Your parking lights are for parking, not driving.

• ARely only on your mirrors
• BTurn your body and look back through the rear window, and check all around first
• CSound your horn and reverse
• DOpen your door and lean out

Why: Check all around the vehicle, then turn your head and look back over your shoulder through the rear window as you reverse slowly.

• AIt will help you see who is driving
• BYour mirrors always have blind spots
• CIt is good exercise for your neck
• DAll of the above are valid reasons

Why: There will always be blind spots, no matter how you adjust your mirrors. Therefore, when changing lanes, you must also look over your shoulder to check your blind spot in the direction of the lane change.

• AReport the accident to the Ministry of Transportation within 48 hours
• BReport the accident to the Ministry of Transportation immediately
• CReport the accident to the police immediately
• DReport the accident to the police within 48 hours

Why: If you are involved in an accident in which someone is injured, or there is more than $2,000 worth of property damage, you must report the accident to the police immediately. (The MTO Handbook still uses $2,000, note the legal threshold rose to $5,000 on January 1, 2025.)

• ATo raise more money in fees
• BTo let new drivers gain skills and experience in stages under lower-risk conditions
• CTo slow down the licensing process for no reason
• DTo limit how many people can drive

Why: Graduated licensing eases new drivers in over at least 20 months, building experience under conditions with extra rules so they learn safely.

• A0.05
• B0.08
• C0.10
• D0.02

Why: 0.08 (80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood) is the criminal limit. The 'warn range' of 0.05–0.079 also brings immediate penalties. Novice and young drivers must be at zero.

• AOnly G1 drivers
• BAll novice (G1/G2) drivers and every driver aged 21 and under
• COnly drivers under 18
• DOnly commercial drivers

Why: Zero tolerance for alcohol (and drugs) applies to all novice drivers (G1/G2) and to every driver aged 21 and under, regardless of licence class.

• ALegal if you feel fine
• BOnly a problem with alcohol
• CJust as illegal as driving impaired by alcohol
• DAllowed for medical users

Why: Drug-impaired driving (including legal or medical cannabis and some prescription drugs) is treated as seriously as alcohol impairment, with the same penalties.

• A15 days
• B1 year
• C60 days
• D30 days

Why: A level one (G1) or level two (G2) driver who reaches nine or more demerit points within two years has their licence suspended for 60 days. The driver must surrender their licence to the Ministry of Transportation, failing to do so can mean losing it for up to two years.

• A6 months
• B1 year
• C2 years from the offence date
• DPermanently

Why: Demerit points remain on your record for two years from the date of the offence.

• A20 kg
• B36 kg (80 lb)
• C50 kg
• Dany weight

Why: A child may move from a booster seat to a seat belt after reaching any one of: 8 years old, 145 cm tall, or 36 kg (80 lb).

• AOnly those passengers over 18 years of age
• BOnly those passengers under 16 years of age
• COnly those passengers in the front seat
• DOnly those passengers who are 16 years of age or older

Why: In Ontario, the driver is legally responsible for making sure every passenger under 16 years of age is properly buckled up or in the correct child seat.

• AOnly a small fine
• BAn immediate roadside licence suspension and vehicle impoundment
• CA warning
• DNo penalty on a first offence

Why: Excessive speeding counts as stunt driving, police can immediately suspend your licence and impound your vehicle at the roadside, on top of heavy fines and possible jail.

• AThe same as elsewhere
• BReduced
• CIncreased (often doubled)
• DWaived

Why: Fines for traffic offences are increased (often doubled) in community safety zones, which are areas near schools, parks and seniors' residences.

• AThe road is straight and clear
• BYou cannot see far enough ahead to pass safely (hills, curves) or a solid line is on your side
• CTraffic is light
• DYou are in a hurry

Why: Never pass where you can't see oncoming traffic (near hills, curves, intersections or railway crossings) or where a solid line is on your side of the centre.

• ASignal the other driver to remain behind you
• BMove to the right side of your lane and do not increase your speed
• CMove to the left to block the passing vehicle
• DMove to the right side of your lane and increase your speed

Why: If the driver of another vehicle signals that he or she intends to pass your vehicle, help that driver pass you safely. Move to the right side of your lane and do not increase your speed until the passing vehicle has passed your vehicle. In fact, be prepared to slow down to help the passing driver get in front of you more quickly, to prevent a collision.

• AThe faster vehicle
• BThe vehicle on the left
• CThe vehicle on the right
• DThe larger vehicle

Why: At an uncontrolled intersection, yield to whoever arrived first, if you arrive together, the vehicle on the right has the right of way.

• AThe one turning left has the right of way
• BBoth have the right of way
• CBoth vehicles should stop first and then proceed
• DThe one going straight has the right of way

Why: If two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection from opposite directions at the same time, one going straight while the other is turning left, the vehicle going straight has the right of way.

• ATake the right of way
• BYield to all traffic on the road and pedestrians on the sidewalk
• CHonk and go
• DStop only for cars

Why: Vehicles entering a road from a driveway or lot must yield to all traffic on the road and to pedestrians on the sidewalk.

• AA fine of up to $500 and 4 demerit points
• BA requirement to retake your road tests
• CA one-year jail sentence
• DA fine of up to $2,000 and 6 demerit points

Why: If you fail to stop for a stopped school bus whose red lights are flashing, you will be fined $400 to $2,000 and receive six demerit points if this was your first offence. For each subsequent offence, you will be fined $1,000 to $4,000, receive six demerit points, and possibly be sentenced to jail for up to six months.

• AIncrease your speed and cross the tracks as quickly as possible
• BStop at least 2 m from the nearest rail
• CSlow down and proceed with caution
• DStop at least 5 m from the nearest rail

Why: When approaching a railway crossing at which the crossing signals are warning of an approaching train, you must stop at least 5 m (15 ft) from the nearest rail. Before proceeding across the tracks, wait until the signal lights stop flashing and the crossing gates, if any, have risen. Never try to race a train to a railway crossing, a train cannot yield the right of way to you.

• AThe car behind is close
• BThere is room for your whole vehicle on the far side so you won't stop on the tracks
• CYou can beat any train
• DThe radio is off

Why: Never enter a crossing unless there is space for your entire vehicle on the other side. Stopping on the tracks is deadly.

• AOn a quiet residential street
• BOn a crosswalk, within 3 m of a fire hydrant, or blocking a driveway
• CIn a marked parking lot
• DBeside a curb

Why: You may not park on or near crosswalks, within 3 m of a fire hydrant, in front of driveways, on bridges, or anywhere you block traffic or sightlines.

• AApply the parking brake gently but firmly
• BPump the brake pedal
• CTurn on your emergency flashers
• DDo all of the above

Why: If your brakes fail, try pumping the brake pedal to temporarily restore hydraulic brake pressure. Also downshift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect to slow your vehicle. If these methods don't work, apply the parking brake gently but firmly while holding the release button, and be prepared to release it if the wheels lock.

• ABring the vehicle to a stop off the road
• BTake your foot off the gas pedal
• CConcentrate on steering
• DDo all of the above

Why: If one of your tires blows out while you're driving, do not brake right away, braking could cause you to lose control. Instead, focus on steering, take your foot off the gas pedal to slow down, and bring your vehicle to a full stop off the road.

• AApply the brakes to reduce your speed
• BSteer hard to the left
• CApply the brakes and steer hard to the left
• DTake your foot off the gas pedal, let your vehicle slow down, and gently steer back onto the roadway

Why: If your right wheels drop off the road, do not make a sharp turn. Instead, take your foot off the gas pedal and let your vehicle slow down, then gently steer back onto the roadway.

• APump it and hope
• BShift to neutral, brake, steer off the road, then turn off the engine once stopped
• CSwitch off the engine while moving fast
• DKeep driving and ignore it

Why: Shift to neutral to cut power, brake and steer to the shoulder, then turn off the engine after stopping. Don't switch it off at speed, you can lose steering and braking assist.

• AWhenever you are within 60 m of an oncoming vehicle, or within 150 m of a vehicle you are following
• BWhenever you are within 400 m of another vehicle
• CWhenever you are within 150 m of another vehicle
• DWhenever you are within 150 m of an oncoming vehicle, or within 60 m of a vehicle you are following

Why: In Ontario, you must dim your headlights to low beam whenever you are within 150 m of an oncoming vehicle, or within 60 m of a vehicle you are following. These rules apply to all roads, including divided ones. Bright lights can reflect off the other vehicle's mirrors and blind the driver.

• AYou cannot stop within the distance that you can see ahead
• BIt can drain the car battery
• CYour headlights are too bright
• DYou are driving too fast

Why: Your headlights illuminate the road ahead for a certain distance. If your stopping distance is greater than that, you may not be able to stop in time to avoid a hazard that your headlights just illuminated. For example, low-beam headlights have about a 45 m range, but at 80 km/h your stopping distance is about 60 m.

• AOpen, sunny roads
• BBridges, overpasses and shaded areas
• CGravel roads
• DHilltops only

Why: Bridges, overpasses and shaded spots freeze first because cold air reaches them from above and below. Slow down on them in cold, damp weather.

• ASpeed up to get through it
• BStop in your lane
• CPull completely off the road, turn on your hazard lights, and wait
• DTurn off all lights and keep driving

Why: Get well off the road, turn on your hazard lights, and wait for conditions to improve. Stopping in a travel lane risks a rear-end collision.

• AEye strain
• BWhiplash and neck injury in a collision
• CGlare
• DDrowsiness

Why: Set the head restraint level with the back of your head to reduce whiplash and neck injury, especially in a rear-end crash.

• AImprove grip
• BReduce control and increase the risk of hydroplaning and blowouts
• CSave fuel
• DHave no real effect

Why: Keep tires properly inflated and treaded. Low or bald tires reduce grip and control and make hydroplaning and blowouts more likely.

• A1 m
• B2 m
• C1.5 m
• D0.5 m

Why: When passing a cyclist, allow at least one metre of space between your vehicle and the cyclist, where possible. If the lane is too narrow to share, change lanes to pass the cyclist.

• AAfter making the proper signals
• BWhen you are sure that it can be done safely
• CWhen you turn on your four-way flashers
• DAt any time

Why: When getting out of your car on a busy street, you should open your door only when it can be done safely. Before opening the door, watch for approaching vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles.

• ADrive close behind them
• BLinger beside them
• CAvoid their blind spots, don't tailgate, and pass promptly on the left
• DCut in front sharply

Why: If you can't see the truck driver's mirrors, they can't see you. Stay out of the no-zones, don't tailgate, and don't cut in front sharply.

• AMust wait for all cars
• BHas the right of way, you must stop and yield
• CCan be passed slowly
• DMust use a crosswalk only

Why: A white cane or guide dog signals a pedestrian who is blind or has low vision. They have the right of way, stop and let them cross.

• A3 months
• B12 months, or 8 months with an approved BDE course
• C24 months
• D1 month

Why: You can take the G1 road test after 12 months, or after 8 months if you complete an MTO-approved Beginner Driver Education course.

• A1
• B2
• C4
• D3

Why: A G2 driver aged 19 or younger who has only 6 months or less of driving experience may carry only one unrelated passenger aged 19 or younger between midnight and 5 a.m. If the G2 driver has more than six months of driving experience, he or she may carry up to three. These restrictions do not apply if the G2 driver is accompanied by a fully licensed driver in the front seat, and there is no restriction on the number of family members.

• A0.05%
• B0
• C0.08%
• D0.02%

Why: Level one and level two drivers must have a BAC of zero when driving. New drivers caught drinking and driving will receive an immediate roadside suspension and can also be charged under the Criminal Code.

• AStop and rest
• BDrive faster to your destination
• COpen your windows to allow fresh air in the car
• DDrink coffee

Why: If you become very tired while driving, you should always stop and rest.

• APull over to let the tailgater pass
• BMove into another lane when it's safe to do so
• CIncrease your following distance behind the vehicle in front of you
• DDo any of the above

Why: If you're being tailgated, let the tailgater pass you. Increase your following distance behind the vehicle in front of you, this reduces the chance that you will have to stop or slow down suddenly, which might result in your getting rear-ended. On a multi-lane road, change lanes to let the tailgater pass, on a two-lane road, you may have to pull over. Never speed up in an attempt to appease the tailgater, no speed is too fast for some tailgaters.

• ANo one is watching
• BIt is not prohibited by a sign and you can see clearly in both directions with no hazards
• CYou are at a red light
• DYou are on a curve

Why: Only make a U-turn where it is legal (no sign forbidding it), never on a curve or hill or near an intersection where you can't see approaching traffic clearly.

• ATo the right of, and as close to, the centre line of the roadway as possible
• BIn any position, as long as you signal
• CClose to the right-hand side of the roadway
• DClose to the left-hand side of the roadway

Why: To make a left turn, signal well before the turn and move into the left-most lane that is going in your direction. On a two-way road, this is the lane that is just to the right of the yellow lane markings.

• ASwing wide from the left lane
• BBe in the right lane close to the curb and turn into the right lane
• CTurn from the centre lane
• DSignal only after turning

Why: Signal early, move close to the right curb, and turn into the right-hand lane of the road you enter.

• AShorter
• BThe same two seconds
• CIncreased to three or more seconds
• DOne second

Why: Increase your following distance to at least three or four seconds (or more) in poor weather, because stopping distances grow.

• APump the brakes
• BApply firm, steady pressure and steer, do not pump
• CBrake very gently
• DUse only the parking brake

Why: With ABS, press the brake firmly and steadily and steer around hazards. The system prevents lock-up, pumping reduces its effectiveness.

• A12 o'clock with one hand
• B9 and 3 o'clock with both hands
• C6 o'clock with one hand
• DBoth hands at the top

Why: Picture the wheel as a clock and place both hands at 9 and 3 o'clock. Two hands in this balanced position give you the most steering control.

• ASet your parking brake only
• BTurn your front wheels to the left and set your parking brake
• CTurn your front wheels to the right and set your parking brake
• DLeave your front wheels parallel to the curb

Why: When parking facing downhill, point your front wheels toward the curb. If the brakes fail, the curb will block the vehicle from rolling downhill. If there is no curb, point your front wheels toward the edge of the roadway, if the brakes fail, the vehicle will roll off the roadway, not into traffic.

• ADrive around them
• BStop and stay stopped until they and the children have left the road
• CSound your horn
• DSlow to 40 km/h and pass

Why: Stop and remain stopped while a crossing guard is on the road, until they and the children have safely returned to the curb.

• AStop at the end of the ramp
• BUse the acceleration lane to match the speed of traffic, then merge into a gap
• CMerge as slowly as possible
• DCross all lanes at once

Why: Build up to the speed of freeway traffic in the acceleration lane, signal, find a gap, and merge smoothly. Don't stop unless traffic forces you to.

• ABrake hard in the through lane
• BSignal, move into the exit/deceleration lane, then slow down
• CSlow right down in the fast lane
• DStop and reverse if you miss the exit

Why: Signal early, move into the exit lane, and do your slowing there, not in the through lanes of fast-moving traffic.

• ACruising on the open highway
• BApproaching a hazard such as an intersection, crosswalk or parked cars
• CParking
• DNever

Why: Covering the brake near possible hazards shortens your reaction time so you can stop sooner if you need to.

• AScanning the road ahead
• BEating, grooming, or programming a GPS while the vehicle is moving
• CChecking your mirrors
• DWatching for pedestrians

Why: Anything that takes your eyes, hands or mind off driving (eating, grooming, texting, setting a GPS) is a distraction. Set up before you drive.

• AStays the same
• BRoughly doubles
• CRoughly quadruples (about four times)
• DIs cut in half

Why: Braking distance grows with the square of speed, double your speed and it takes about four times the distance to stop. Slowing down has a big safety payoff.

• AUse only the backup camera
• BCheck all around first, then turn and look back through the rear window while reversing slowly
• CReverse quickly to be done
• DRely on your mirrors only

Why: Check all around, then turn your head and look back through the rear window, reversing slowly. Cameras and mirrors both have blind spots.

• AContinue at the same speed
• BStop if you're making a left turn
• CStop if you're making a right turn
• DSlow down and proceed with caution

Why: A flashing amber (yellow) traffic light means slow down and proceed with caution.

• AYou may turn in the direction of the arrow
• BStop and wait for the green light before turning in the direction of the arrow
• CStop and wait for a green light, the green arrow is a signal for pedestrians
• DStop, and then you may turn in the direction of the arrow

Why: A red light with a green arrow means you may proceed in the direction of the arrow with caution, after yielding to pedestrians and any vehicles still in the intersection.

• ATurning from a one-way road onto another one-way road, after a complete stop, when the way is clear
• BNo police are present
• CTurning onto any quiet street
• DNever, left turns on red are always illegal

Why: Unless a sign prohibits it, you may turn left on a red light from a one-way road onto a one-way road, after coming to a complete stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians.

• APedestrians must wait
• BPedestrians may begin to cross
• CThe crosswalk is closed
• DVehicles may drive through the crosswalk

Why: The walking-person symbol tells pedestrians they may start crossing. The flashing or steady orange hand means do not start to cross, but anyone already crossing may finish.

• AHonk so they hurry
• BDrive around them slowly
• CLet them finish crossing safely before you proceed
• DProceed, you have the right of way

Why: A green light doesn't cancel a pedestrian's right to finish crossing. Wait until they are safely out of your path before moving.

• AAll traffic may proceed straight
• BTransit vehicles (buses, streetcars) may go, other traffic must obey its regular signals
• CThe signal is out of order
• DPedestrians may cross diagonally

Why: A white vertical bar is a transit priority signal. It lets buses and streetcars move first, while everyone else waits for their normal green light.

• AExit ahead
• BDo not drive in that lane
• CThe lane is for trucks only
• DReduce speed in that lane

Why: Lane-control signals, a red X means the lane is closed to you, move out of it safely as soon as you can. A green arrow means the lane is open.

94. This driver is using a hand signal. The driver intends to:

• ASlow down or stop
• BSpeed up
• CTurn left
• DTurn right

Why: This driver intends to turn left. The left arm held straight out the window is the hand signal for a left turn.

95. This driver is using a hand signal. The driver intends to:

• ATurn right
• BTurn left
• CSpeed up
• DSlow down or stop

Why: Hand signals can be used instead of your car's regular turn or brake signals. This driver intends to turn right.

96. This driver is using a hand signal. The driver intends to:

• ATurn right
• BSlow down or stop
• CSpeed up
• DTurn left

Why: This hand signal indicates that the driver intends to slow down or stop. This hand signal is the equivalent of the brake lights on the driver's vehicle.

• APass on the left side when the way is clear
• BStop 2 m behind the rear doors where passengers are getting on or off, and proceed only when it's safe to do so
• CSound your horn and pass with caution
• DStop behind the rear of the streetcar and then proceed when it's safe to do so

Why: Stop at least 2 m behind the rear doors where passengers are getting on or off, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

• ATraffic moving in opposite directions
• BTraffic moving in the same direction
• CBicycle lanes from car lanes
• DParking spaces

Why: Yellow lines divide traffic travelling in opposite directions, white lines divide lanes going the same way. Knowing this helps you instantly read any road.

• ANot pass
• BPass only under ideal driving conditions
• CPass if the way is clear
• DPass only during daylight hours

Why: A broken yellow line on your side of the roadway means that you may pass if the way is clear. A solid yellow line on your side means that you are not allowed to pass.

• APassing is allowed for the faster lane only
• BNo vehicle may pass in either direction
• CThe left lane is closed
• DA turning lane begins

Why: Double solid yellow lines mean visibility is too limited to pass safely, crossing them to overtake is not allowed in either direction.

• AA passing lane for fast traffic
• BA two-way left-turn lane, enter it only just before turning left
• CA bus-only lane
• DAn emergency lane

Why: A two-way left-turn lane is shared by traffic from both directions for left turns only. Enter it shortly before your turn, never use it to travel or pass.

• AYou may pass if no pedestrians are visible
• BWithin 10 m
• CYou may not pass any vehicle within 30 m of a pedestrian crossover
• DThere is no rule about passing near crossovers

Why: Passing is forbidden within 30 metres of a pedestrian crossover. A vehicle ahead may be hiding a pedestrian you can't see, or may be about to stop for one.

• ATwo car lengths
• BNo closer than 150 m
• CAs long as you don't pass it
• DNo closer than 30 m

Why: It is illegal to follow within 150 metres of a fire vehicle responding to an alarm. Emergency vehicles stop and turn unpredictably, stay well back.

• A30 m away in each direction
• B60 m away in each direction
• C125 m away in each direction
• D10 car lengths away

Why: Never park where approaching drivers can't see your vehicle from at least 125 metres in both directions, on curves, hills or anywhere sightlines are short.

• AStop in your lane and turn on your hazard lights
• BSignal, pull as far onto the right shoulder as possible, turn on your hazard lights, and keep everyone away from traffic
• CGet out and flag down passing cars
• DReverse along the shoulder to the nearest exit

Why: Get fully onto the shoulder, switch on your hazard lights, and exit on the side away from traffic if you must get out. Never stand behind or beside your vehicle near live lanes.

• AKeep trying to restart the engine
• BPush the vehicle off the tracks yourself
• CGet everyone out immediately and walk quickly toward the train, at an angle away from the tracks
• DStay inside with seatbelts fastened

Why: Get out right away. Walking toward the oncoming train (angled away from the tracks) keeps you clear of the debris, which gets thrown forward when the train hits the vehicle.

• APump the gas pedal
• BDrive slowly and apply gentle brake pressure until the brakes dry and grip normally
• CStop immediately wherever you are
• DTurn the engine off and on

Why: Wet brakes grab poorly. Test them after deep water, and dry them by braking gently and repeatedly while driving slowly until they respond normally.

• AOn long highway trips
• BOn wet, icy or slippery roads
• CDuring daylight hours
• DAt speeds over 80 km/h

Why: On slippery roads cruise control can keep applying power as your tires lose grip, making a skid worse. Drive with your foot in control in rain, snow and ice.

• AIt wastes fuel
• BExhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that can kill
• CIt overheats the engine
• DIt drains the battery

Why: Carbon monoxide in exhaust gas has no colour, smell or taste, and is deadly in enclosed spaces. Never run the engine in a closed garage, and get fresh air if you feel drowsy while driving.

• ABrake hard to a stop in your lane
• BTry the switch and high/low beam lever, if they stay out, use your signal or hazard lights and pull off the road safely
• CKeep driving, your eyes will adjust
• DFollow another car's tail lights closely

Why: Try the headlight switch and dimmer first. If the lights won't come back, use whatever lights work to stay visible and get off the road as safely as you can.

• ATwo
• BFour
• CThe number of working seatbelts in the vehicle
• DThere is no limit

Why: A condition of every novice licence, each person in the vehicle must have their own working seatbelt. No belt available means that passenger can't ride.

• AUse the left lane
• BKeep to the right lane
• CUse any lane you like
• DTurn on your hazard lights

Why: Slower traffic keeps right. The left lane is for passing and faster traffic, blocking it frustrates drivers and causes risky passing.

• ASpeed up to get past it first
• BYield and allow the bus to merge back into your lane when it is safe
• CHonk to warn the bus
• DStop completely behind the bus bay

Why: Ontario law requires drivers to yield to a bus signalling its return to traffic from a marked bus bay. Slow down and let it in.

• AWait for the plows to allow traffic to safely pass
• BTry to pass between them
• CKeep a safe distance behind them
• DWait until it is safe before passing

Why: On freeways, several snow plows may be staggered across the road, clearing all lanes at the same time by passing a ridge of snow from plow to plow. Do not try to pass between them, there is not enough room to pass safely, and the ridge of wet snow can throw your vehicle out of control. Snow removal vehicles on public roadways are equipped with flashing blue lights that can be seen from a distance of 150 m.

• AA taxi accepting fares
• BA volunteer firefighter responding to an emergency, yield as a courtesy
• CAn impaired driver
• DA driving instructor

Why: In Ontario, a flashing green light on a private vehicle identifies a volunteer firefighter heading to an emergency. You aren't legally forced to yield, but you should as a courtesy.

• ATurn on your high-beam headlights before you pass
• BPass it the same way that you would pass a car
• CUse half of the motorcycle's lane to pass
• DHonk your horn before you pass

Why: Motorcyclists often need to pull to the left or right side of their lane to avoid dangerous road conditions. Do not take this as an invitation to pass in the same lane. If you want to pass a motorcycle, do so by changing lanes.

• AFollow closer, since motorcycles are small
• BLeave extra following distance, especially in rain or on rough or gravel surfaces
• CFollow exactly one car length behind
• DDrive beside it instead

Why: Motorcycles can stop very quickly and may swerve or fall on poor surfaces. Give them more space than you would a car, more again in bad weather.

• AA rear-facing child seat
• BA forward-facing child seat
• CA booster seat
• DAn adult's lap with the seatbelt around both

Why: Babies under 9 kg must ride in a rear-facing infant seat, which supports the head and neck in a sudden stop. Never hold a child on your lap in a moving vehicle.

• AThe front seat with a regular seatbelt
• BA forward-facing child seat secured with a tether strap
• CNo restraint, if the trip is short
• DA booster seat only

Why: Children 9–18 kg may use a forward-facing child seat anchored with a tether strap (rear-facing longer is even safer). Booster seats come later, at 18–36 kg.

• A14 days
• B30 days
• C45 days
• D6 days

Why: If you change your name or address, you are required to notify the Ministry of Transportation within 6 days. You will also need a new licence.

• AThe motor vehicle ownership document, if he or she is operating a motor vehicle
• BA valid driver's licence
• CA liability insurance card, if the motor vehicle is insured
• DAll of the above

Why: A police officer may require a motor vehicle owner to produce a liability insurance card, vehicle ownership documents, and a valid driver's licence.

• AA fine, licence suspension and six demerit points
• BA fine, licence cancellation and removal from the graduated licensing system
• CA fine, licence suspension and three demerit points
• DLicence cancellation and removal from the graduated licensing system, but no fine

Why: A novice driver convicted of distracted driving receives no demerit points. Instead, first offence, a fine of up to $1,000 and a 30-day licence suspension, second offence, a fine of up to $2,000 and a 90-day suspension, third offence, a fine of up to $3,000, licence cancellation and removal from the graduated licensing system, which means beginning the GLS over again to obtain a new licence.

• A4
• B1
• C2
• D3

Why: A G2 driver aged 19 or younger who has only 6 months or less of driving experience may carry only one unrelated passenger aged 19 or younger between midnight and 5 a.m. If the G2 driver has more than six months of driving experience, he or she may carry up to three unrelated passengers. These restrictions do not apply if the G2 driver is accompanied by a fully licensed driver sitting in the front seat. There is no restriction on the number of family members that the G2 driver may carry.

• ASharply toward the curb
• BAway from the curb, then let the vehicle roll back gently until the tire rests against the curb
• CStraight ahead
• DIt makes no difference

Why: Facing uphill with a curb, turn the wheels toward the road and roll back so the curb blocks the tire. If the brakes let go, the curb stops the car. Facing downhill, turn them toward the curb instead.

• AToward the edge of the road, so the vehicle would roll away from traffic
• BToward the centre of the road
• CStraight ahead
• DEither way, as long as the parking brake is set

Why: With no curb to catch a rolling vehicle, aim the front wheels toward the shoulder (uphill or downhill) so a runaway car leaves the road instead of crossing into traffic. Always set the parking brake too.

• AStop before exiting
• BSignal right as you pass the exit just before the one you want
• CSignal left
• DNever signal inside a roundabout

Why: Signal your exit, as you pass the exit before yours, turn on your right signal so drivers waiting to enter know you are leaving the circle.

• ASound your horn to warn traffic ahead to move on
• BKeep as close as possible to the car ahead
• CProceed slowly into the intersection until traffic ahead moves on
• DStop before entering the intersection, and wait until traffic ahead moves on

Why: If the roadway beyond the intersection is blocked with traffic, don't proceed into the intersection, because you might block the intersection for other vehicles. Instead, stop before entering the intersection and wait until traffic ahead moves on.

• ADriving in heavy rain
• BYour vehicle is broken down or stopped on the side of the road, to warn other drivers
• CParking illegally for a quick errand
• DDriving slowly in a school zone

Why: Hazard lights warn others that your stopped vehicle is a hazard, use them during a breakdown on the shoulder. They are not a pass for illegal parking.

• AThe same as usual
• BDoubled
• CWaived if traffic is light
• DReplaced by warnings

Why: Speeding fines double in construction zones when workers are present. Slow to the posted limit and obey flag persons, they have the same authority as a signal.

• APass it quickly on the right
• BStay back, long trucks swing wide to turn right, and the right side becomes a crush zone
• CHonk so it straightens out
• DPass on the left immediately

Why: Long vehicles often swing left to make a tight right turn. Never slide up the right side of a truck that's signalling right, the trailer will sweep across that space.

• AAs soon as you clear its front bumper
• BOnly when you can see the whole front of the truck in your rear-view mirror
• CImmediately, with a quick lane change
• DWhenever the truck honks

Why: Trucks need far more distance to stop than cars. Wait until the truck's entire front shows in your mirror before moving back in, so you leave it safe space.

• AYield to the traffic to your right
• BTreat it as if there were all-way stop signs
• CSlow down and proceed with caution
• DStop until no other vehicles are approaching, and then go

Why: If the traffic lights at an intersection aren't working, treat the intersection as if it had all-way stop signs. That is, come to a complete stop, yield according to the rules for all-way stop signs, and then proceed with extreme caution into the intersection.

• AMay use it to pass slower cars
• BMay not drive or park in it, and should cross it only when turning, after yielding to cyclists
• CMay park in it outside rush hour
• DMay use it whenever no bikes are visible

Why: That is a bicycle lane, reserved for bikes. Cross it only to turn or to enter/leave a driveway, and check carefully for cyclists before you do.

• ADrive through quickly before the gates close again
• BStay stopped, another train may be coming on a second track
• CDrive around the gates carefully
• DHonk and proceed

Why: Signals that keep operating after a train passes usually mean a second train is coming, often on another track. Wait until the lights stop and the gates rise completely.

• ASlow down only
• BStop, look and listen at every crossing, so be prepared when you're following one
• CCross without stopping if the lights are off
• DUse a different route

Why: Buses stop at all railway crossings, even when no train is near. If you're behind a bus, expect the stop and leave room, don't pass it at the crossing.

• AWhichever lane is emptiest
• BThe lane just to the right of the centre line, then change lanes later if you need to
• CThe far right lane
• DThe shoulder

Why: Turn into the nearest lane available for your direction, for a left turn, the lane just right of the centre line. Move over afterward with a proper lane change.

• AYou can use your parking lights when driving on a well-lit street
• BYou can use your parking lights when driving in heavy fog
• CYou should use your parking lights only for parking
• DYou can use your parking lights at any time

Why: Parking lights are only for parking. In dim light, use your headlights, not your parking lights.

• AStop, yield to pedestrians and then proceed with caution
• BSlow down and then proceed when the way is clear
• CStop and then proceed when the way is clear
• DStop, and then proceed only when the signal turns green and the way is clear

Why: When the traffic light is red, you must stop. Proceed only when the signal turns green and the way is clear.

• APedestrians crossing with the light
• BVehicles turning left
• CPedestrians crossing against the light
• DVehicles turning right

Why: When the signal light is green, pedestrians crossing with the light always have the right of way over all others.

• AStop and make sure that the police officer really wants you to go through
• BTell the police officer that the light is red
• CGo through
• DWait for the light to turn green

Why: When police officers are directing traffic, you must follow their directions, even if it means disregarding some of the usual driving rules. For example, you should go past a red light if a police officer directs you to do so.

• ATurn behind them quickly
• BYield and let them cross before completing your turn
• CHonk so they speed up
• DTurn in front of them if they are slow

Why: Pedestrians crossing with the light have the right of way over turning vehicles. Wait until your path is clear before turning.

• APull out quickly to claim the right of way
• BStop, then edge forward slowly until you can see clearly before entering
• CHonk and proceed
• DReverse and find another route

Why: When your sightline is blocked, creep forward a little at a time until you can see approaching traffic, never commit to crossing blind.

• AStop, as on any road
• BSlow down and proceed with caution, only traffic travelling behind the bus must stop when a median separates you
• CStop and wait for the lights to stop flashing
• DChange lanes and pass quickly

Why: On a road divided by a median, oncoming traffic is not required to stop for a school bus, but traffic behind the bus must. Without a median, BOTH directions must stop.

• ADrive over them slowly
• BNot drive over them unless a firefighter or police officer directs you to
• CDrive over them only with snow tires
• DDrive over them if no one is looking

Why: It is illegal to drive over an unprotected fire hose. Crushing a charged hose can cut off water to firefighters, wait or take another route unless directed across.

• AShift into neutral
• BShift into a lower gear
• CKeep applying the brakes
• DTurn off the ignition

Why: If you keep applying the brakes to control your speed on a steep descent, the brakes may fade and become less effective. Instead, just before starting the descent, release the gas pedal and downshift into a lower gear, even with an automatic transmission. This generates a braking effect, known as engine braking, to slow the vehicle. Apply the brakes only when engine braking is insufficient or you want to stop.

• AAfter hours of steady rain
• BDuring the first few minutes of rain, when water mixes with oil and dust on the surface
• COn hot, dry afternoons
• DOnly below freezing

Why: When rain begins, it floats the oil and grime on the pavement before washing it away, that first stretch is the greasiest. Slow down as soon as rain starts.

• AJust the windshield
• BThe windshield and driver's window
• CAll windows, mirrors, lights, the roof and your licence plates
• DNothing, the defroster will handle it

Why: You need to see and be seen on every side. Snow left on the roof or hood can slide onto your windshield, or fly off into the car behind you.

• ANo, airbags replace seatbelts
• BYes, airbags work together with seatbelts and do not replace them
• COnly passengers without airbags need belts
• DOnly on highways

Why: Always buckle up, even in a seat with an active airbag. Airbags cushion a crash, but the seatbelt is what holds you in position so the airbag can actually protect you.

• AThe front passenger seat
• BThe back seat, properly buckled or in the correct child seat
• COn an adult's lap
• DWherever they prefer

Why: The back seat keeps children away from front airbags and the most common crash forces. Buckle them in the correct restraint for their size.

• ACancels out the effects of both
• BCan multiply the impairing effects of each
• CIs safe if the medication is over-the-counter
• DOnly matters with prescription drugs

Why: Alcohol combined with other drugs (including many common medicines) can impair you far more than either alone. Never mix them with driving.

• AStrong coffee
• BA cold shower
• CFresh air and exercise
• DTime

Why: Your body eliminates alcohol at a fixed rate, and nothing speeds it up. Coffee and cold showers make an alert-feeling impaired driver, not a sober one.

• ANever affect driving
• BCan cause drowsiness and impair driving, check the label or ask your doctor or pharmacist
• COnly matter if taken with food
• DAre only a problem at night

Why: Many everyday medicines slow your reactions or make you drowsy. Read the warning label, and don't drive if the medicine affects you.

• AA car alarm
• BValid insurance, driving without it brings heavy fines
• CWinter tires
• DA dash camera

Why: Insurance is compulsory in Ontario. Driving (or letting your vehicle be driven) without it carries fines in the thousands of dollars.

• AAllowed if you sit beside them
• BAn offence, both the driver and you, as the owner, can be charged
• CAllowed on quiet streets
• DAllowed for short trips

Why: Only licensed drivers may drive, and owners who knowingly hand over their keys to an unlicensed driver share the liability.

• A1 week
• B30 days
• C60 days, while you apply for an Ontario licence
• D1 year

Why: New Ontario residents may use their out-of-province licence for 60 days. After that, you need an Ontario licence to keep driving.

• A15
• B16
• C17
• D18

Why: You can apply for a G1 at 16, after passing a vision test and the knowledge test on signs and rules of the road.

• A6 months
• B12 months
• C24 months
• DThere is no minimum

Why: Level Two lasts at least 12 months before you can take the G road test for full privileges.

• A12 months
• B20 months
• C3 years
• D5 years

Why: With the minimum 12 months at G1 (8 with an approved BDE course) and 12 months at G2, the fastest path to a full G licence is 20 months.

• AStop only if you think you did something wrong
• BPull over and stop, failing to stop for police is a serious offence
• CSlow down but keep driving
• DDrive to your home first, then talk

Why: When police signal you to stop, you must pull over safely and stop. Fleeing or failing to stop brings severe penalties, including licence suspension and possible jail.

• AA jail sentence of up to six months
• BLicence suspension for up to two years
• CA fine of up to $2,000
• DAll of the above

Why: Careless driving is a serious offence. Police can charge drivers with careless driving if they have not been paying full attention to their driving. If convicted, you will get six demerit points, and you may be fined up to $2,000 and sentenced to up to six months in jail. In some cases, your licence may be suspended for up to two years.

• A2 demerit points
• B4 demerit points
• C6 demerit points, plus a large fine
• DNo demerit points, only a fine

Why: Passing a flashing school bus is six demerit points and a fine in the hundreds to thousands of dollars, children's lives are on the line.

• ANo demerit points
• B2 demerit points
• C4 demerit points
• D6 demerit points

Why: Following too closely is a four-point offence, and the leading cause of rear-end collisions. Keep at least two seconds back.

• A3 demerit points
• B5 demerit points
• C7 demerit points, plus possible criminal charges
• DNo demerit points

Why: Leaving a collision scene is seven demerit points under the Highway Traffic Act and can also be a criminal offence. Always stop, help, and exchange information.

• AIs permitted when the street or highway has two or more lanes of traffic in the direction in which you are travelling
• BIs permitted on any street or highway
• CIs permitted provided it is possible to do so by driving on the shoulder of the road
• DIs not permitted

Why: Most passing is done on the left. Passing on the right is permitted when the street or highway has two or more lanes of traffic in the direction in which you are travelling, this can be the case on a multi-lane highway or on a one-way street. However, this manoeuvre can be more dangerous than passing on the left.

• AStart the pass and decide halfway
• BNot pass, when in doubt, stay in your lane and wait for a better chance
• CPass with your hazard lights on
• DHonk and pass quickly

Why: Passing on a two-way road means borrowing the oncoming lane. If you have any doubt about time or space, don't go, the next safe gap is worth the wait.

• APass with caution, and be ready to stop if a pedestrian makes sudden or unexpected moves
• BSound your horn and pass with caution
• CStop at least 2 m behind the rear doors of the streetcar
• DStop at least 2 m behind the safety island

Why: Normally, when you encounter a streetcar ahead of you, stay at least 2 m behind the rear doors where passengers are getting off or on. However, this rule does not apply at stops where an area has been set aside for streetcar passengers or there is a safety island. Pass these areas at a reasonable speed, and be prepared for pedestrians who make sudden or unexpected moves.

• AHonk so they move to the shoulder
• BSlow down, give them as much room as possible, and avoid loud noises
• CPass quickly and closely
• DFollow closely until they pull over

Why: Horses spook easily, and a startled horse can bolt into traffic. Pass wide, slow, and quietly, never honk near a horse.

• AHonk twice and reverse
• BYield to pedestrians on the sidewalk and traffic on the road, back out slowly only when clear
• CReverse quickly to limit time on the sidewalk
• DPedestrians must yield to you

Why: Pedestrians have the right of way on the sidewalk, and road traffic has it over your reversing vehicle. Check all around (especially for children) and creep out only when clear.

• AWherever you can see best
• BAt the stop line if there is one, if not, at the crosswalk, if neither, at the edge of the intersection
• CWith your front bumper into the intersection
• DTwo car lengths before the sign

Why: Stop at the marked line first. No line? Stop before the crosswalk. No crosswalk? Stop at the edge of the intersection, then edge forward if you need a better view.

• ADrive as close to them as possible
• BLeave a door's width of space where you can, and watch for doors opening, brake lights and feet under cars
• CSpeed past to limit exposure
• DStraddle the centre line

Why: Parked cars hide hazards, opening doors, pedestrians stepping out, cars pulling away. Give them space and scan for clues like exhaust, wheels turned out or feet visible underneath.

• AOnly when you are about to change lanes
• BAbout every five seconds, so you always know what is beside and behind you
• COnce every few minutes
• DOnly on highways

Why: Look well ahead and check your mirrors every five seconds or so. Knowing what's around you before anything happens gives you time to react smoothly instead of being surprised.

• AMaintain speed and position no matter what
• BAdjust speed or move over a lane, when safe, to give merging traffic room
• CHonk at merging vehicles
• DSpeed up to close the gap

Why: Drivers already on the freeway aren't required to yield, but helping mergers (easing off or changing lanes when safe) prevents conflicts and keeps traffic flowing.

• AWalk to find help
• BStay with your vehicle, run the engine sparingly with a window slightly open, and keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow
• CKeep the engine running continuously with windows closed
• DPush the car out yourself

Why: Your vehicle is shelter and is easier for rescuers to find than a person walking. Run the engine briefly for heat, crack a window, and make sure snow isn't blocking the exhaust (carbon monoxide danger).

• ADrive through fast so you don't stall
• BTurn around and find another route
• CDrive through slowly in a low gear
• DFollow the car ahead closely

Why: Water hides depth, current and washed-out road. Even shallow moving water can stall the engine, kill your brakes or float the car, don't risk it.

• AGrip the wheel firmly with both hands and reduce speed
• BSteer with one hand to stay relaxed
• CBrake hard during each gust
• DDrive closer to the centre line

Why: Wind gusts and truck turbulence can push your vehicle sideways. Both hands on the wheel and a lower speed make the push easy to correct.

• ASwerve sharply into the oncoming lane
• BBrake firmly while keeping the vehicle in a straight line
• CSpeed up and try to pass behind it
• DHonk and close your eyes

Why: Hard, straight-line braking sheds the most speed with the least chance of losing control. Swerving often turns an animal strike into a worse head-on or rollover crash.

• A24 hours a day, every day
• BDuring the days and times shown on the sign, or when the sign's lights are flashing
• COnly when police are present
• DOnly during the winter

Why: Reduced school-zone limits are in force during the posted periods, often shown by times on the sign or flashing beacons. Outside those times, the regular limit applies, but stay alert for children anyway.

• AThe right lane
• BThe left lane, having chosen your lane before entering
• CEither lane, deciding inside the roundabout
• DThe shoulder

Why: Choose your lane before the roundabout, left lane for left turns or U-turns (and usually straight through), right lane for right turns (and usually straight through). Never change lanes inside.

• AWith the shoulder strap under your arm
• BWith the lap belt low and snug over the hips and the shoulder belt across the chest
• CLoosely, for comfort
• DWith the shoulder strap behind your back

Why: Low over the hips and snug across the chest spreads crash forces onto the body's strongest parts. Under the arm or behind the back, the belt can cause serious injury instead of preventing it.

• AGo immediately, green means go
• BGlance left and right to make sure cross traffic is actually stopping
• CHonk to alert other drivers
• DWait ten seconds

Why: Red-light runners are most dangerous in the first seconds after the change. A quick left-right scan before you roll costs nothing and prevents the worst collisions.

• ASpeed up to get through before it changes
• BBe prepared for it to turn yellow, check your mirror and cover the brake
• CStop and wait for the next green
• DNothing, green is green

Why: The longer a light has been green, the sooner it will change. Plan for the yellow, know your stopping distance and what traffic behind you is doing.

• ABrake hard in the middle of the curve
• BSlow down before the curve, then keep a steady speed (or gently accelerate) through it
• CAccelerate into the curve and brake out of it
• DCoast in neutral through the curve

Why: Braking hard while turning can break your tires' grip and start a skid. Do your slowing in a straight line before the curve, then stay smooth through it.

• AOnly when something feels wrong
• BRegularly, and always before a long trip
• COnce a year at the safety inspection
• DOnly in winter

Why: Routine checks catch worn tires, burned-out bulbs and low washer fluid before they become dangerous. A quick walk-around before long trips should be a habit.

• AWear sunglasses
• BKeep your windshield and headlights clean, inside and out
• CUse your high beams at all times
• DFollow other cars closely and use their lights

Why: A film of dirt on the glass scatters oncoming light into glare and dims your own headlights. Clean glass and lenses are one of the cheapest safety upgrades there is.

• APut on your high beams and continue
• BPull completely off the road, stop in a safe spot, and turn on your hazard lights
• CFollow the tail lights ahead closely
• DStop in your lane with headlights on

Why: If you can't see, don't drive. Get fully off the travelled road, stop, and use your hazard lights. Never stop in a live lane, and never blindly follow tail lights.

• AQuick and decisive
• BSlow, gentle and gradual
• CDone all at the same time
• DThe same as on dry pavement

Why: Tires have very little grip on ice, sudden inputs break it instantly. Ease on the gas, squeeze the brakes, and steer smoothly, doing one thing at a time.

• ATurn off the ignition and apply the hand brake
• BBrake hard
• CApply steady brake pressure, release slightly if the wheels are locking up, and reapply
• DPump the brakes

Why: When you're driving a vehicle that lacks ABS, threshold braking can bring you to a reasonably quick, controlled stop, even under slippery conditions. Brake as hard as you can until a wheel begins to lock up, then release the brake pedal slightly and reapply, don't pump the brakes. In a vehicle equipped with ABS, feel free to brake hard, the ABS computer automatically reduces brake pressure when it senses a wheel is about to lock up.

• ABraking distance only
• BThe distance travelled while you perceive the danger, react, and then brake to a stop
• CReaction distance only
• DThe length of your vehicle plus braking distance

Why: Before the brakes ever bite, you travel many metres seeing, recognizing and reacting to the hazard. That's why speed, attention and following distance all matter together.

• AHonk your horn and slowly pull away from the curb
• BCheck for traffic, signal and quickly pull away from the curb
• CCheck for traffic, signal and pull away from the curb when it's safe to do so
• DSignal and pull away from the curb

Why: Check for traffic, signal, and pull away from the curb only when it is safe to do so.

• AOnly on one-way roadways
• BAt any time
• COnly when it's safe to do so
• DOnly in the daytime

Why: Obey the maximum speed limit posted on signs along the road, but always drive at a speed that will let you stop safely. This means driving below the maximum speed limit in bad weather, in heavy traffic, or in construction zones.

• ADrive through the red light immediately
• BStay stopped, and move to the right (or out of its path) only when you can do so safely and legally
• CBack up into the car behind you
• DTurn off your engine

Why: Never run a red light for an emergency vehicle. Clear a path by moving right or forward only where it's safe and legal, into the intersection only if it's clear and you must.

• ABetter visibility beside the truck
• BHeavy spray that can blind you for a moment, wipers on full, pass steadily without lingering beside the truck
• CThe truck to stop for you
• DLess wind than usual

Why: Truck tires throw up a wall of spray. Get your wipers ready, leave room, and pass decisively, the longer you sit beside the trailer, the longer you're blind and invisible.

• AMove the injured out of their vehicles right away
• BCall 911, warn other traffic, and avoid moving injured people unless there is immediate danger such as fire
• CDirect traffic around the scene yourself
• DTake photos first

Why: Get help coming and protect the scene. Moving an injured person can make spinal injuries worse, leave it to paramedics unless fire or traffic creates a greater danger.

• ADrive away, it's only a parked car
• BLeave a note with your name and contact information, and report the damage as required
• CWait five minutes, then leave
• DMove the damaged car off the road

Why: Hitting an unattended vehicle still carries the duty to identify yourself. Leave your information securely on the vehicle and report the collision as required.

• APassing slower traffic
• BEmergency stops, not for driving or passing, unless signs say otherwise
• CBicycles only
• DDriving when traffic is heavy

Why: Shoulders are escape and breakdown space. Driving or passing on them is illegal and dangerous, stopped vehicles, debris and pedestrians may be there.

• AAnswer the phone and promise to call the person back later
• BText back the caller to let him know that you are driving
• CPull over and park before using your cell phone
• DAnswer the phone only if you've been expecting an important call

Why: In Ontario, it is illegal to use a hand-held device while you are behind the wheel, even while you are stopped at a red light. You should use a hands-free device instead. If you must use a hand-held device, pull over and park first, or ask a passenger to take the call for you.

• AAn immediate 3-day licence suspension
• BA fine of up to $500 if convicted
• CA 30-day licence suspension if convicted
• DAll of the above

Why: Drivers in level one or level two of Ontario's graduated licensing system must have a blood alcohol concentration of zero when driving. A new driver caught drinking and driving for the first time will receive an immediate 3-day licence suspension. If convicted, he or she will face a $60 to $500 fine and an additional 30-day licence suspension. If the new driver's BAC was over 0.08, the driver is also subject to the same penalties for impaired driving as fully licensed drivers.

• ANo consequences, it's under the criminal limit
• BAn immediate roadside licence suspension, longer for repeat occurrences
• COnly a warning letter
• DCriminal charges automatically

Why: Below the criminal limit is not a free pass. In the warn range, Ontario suspends your licence immediately at the roadside, with escalating penalties each time it happens.

• AYour right, with no penalty
• BA criminal offence with an immediate 90-day suspension, treated as seriously as impaired driving
• CA minor traffic ticket
• DAllowed if you call a lawyer first

Why: Refusing the breathalyzer doesn't avoid trouble, it IS the trouble, a criminal charge, immediate 90-day suspension and vehicle impoundment.

• AA fine only
• BAt least a one-year licence suspension, heavy fines, possible jail time, and an ignition interlock requirement
• CA 30-day suspension
• DDemerit points only

Why: Impaired driving is a criminal offence, minimum one-year suspension, large fines, mandatory education and interlock programs, and the penalties climb steeply for repeat offences.

• ALegal, because the vehicle is stopped
• BIllegal, the distracted driving law applies even when stopped at a light
• CLegal if it takes under 5 seconds
• DLegal in slow traffic only

Why: Being stopped in traffic still counts as driving under the law. Hand-held use is only allowed when lawfully parked, or to call 911.

• ATurn up the radio and open the window
• BStop somewhere safe for a rest break, and share the driving when you can
• CDrink an energy drink every hour
• DDrive faster to finish sooner

Why: Loud music and fresh air don't fix tiredness, rest does. Don't drive when you are tired, take rest breaks, switch drivers when possible, and stop to sleep if you're drowsy.

• ATailgate them to teach a lesson
• BTake a breath, drop back, and refuse to compete, getting home safely matters more than 'winning'
• CFlash your lights and honk repeatedly
• DSpeed past and cut them off back

Why: Retaliating turns one driver's mistake into two drivers' fight. Create space, let it go, and if you're still worked up, pull over somewhere safe to cool down.

• ADriving in the middle of two lanes
• BMaintaining room ahead, behind and beside you so you always have somewhere to go in an emergency
• CInstalling extra padding in the car
• DStaying close to the vehicle ahead so others can't cut in

Why: Space is your escape route. Manage the gap ahead, avoid driving in clusters or other drivers' blind spots, and you'll have room to react when something goes wrong.

• AFine if they look good
• BA bad idea, nothing should block any part of your view of the road
• CRequired to be under 10 cm
• DOnly a problem at night

Why: Your windshield is your main source of information. Anything dangling or piled in your sightlines can hide a pedestrian, cyclist or car exactly when it matters.

• ADriving slowly everywhere
• BSeeing hazards early, expecting other road users' mistakes, and always having a plan to avoid trouble
• CDefending your right of way assertively
• DUsing your horn frequently

Why: Defensive drivers look far ahead, leave space, assume others WILL make mistakes, and always keep an out. It's the mindset the whole G1 handbook is built around.

• ABrake as hard as you can
• BGrip the wheel firmly, ease off the gas, let the vehicle slow, and pull well off the road before braking gently
• CSpeed up to keep the car stable
• DTurn sharply toward the shoulder

Why: Sudden braking on a flat can pull the car sideways. Hold the wheel firmly, coast down gradually, and leave the road fully before stopping to change the tire.

• AFirearms
• BPets
• CPeople
• DFlammable materials

Why: In Ontario, you may not carry any person in any trailer, including a house or boat trailer, while you are towing it.

• ADrive exactly as you would without it
• BAllow extra room and time for accelerating, passing and stopping, and check your mirrors often
• CUse the left lane so others can see you
• DPump the brakes constantly

Why: The added weight and length change everything, longer stopping distances, slower acceleration, wider turns and more sway. Leave bigger gaps and plan further ahead.

• AIn a curve or on a hill where visibility is less than 150 m (500 ft) in either direction
• BOn a railway crossing or within 30 m (100 ft) of a railway crossing
• CWithin 150 m (500 ft) of a bridge, viaduct or tunnel if the driver's view is obstructed
• DIn all of the above locations

Why: All the answer options are examples of locations where it is dangerous or unlawful to make a U-turn.

• AVision
• BJudgment
• CReaction time
• DAll of the above

Why: The use of alcohol or drugs can impair a driver's vision, judgment and reaction time. With judgment impaired, the driver may not realize how much he or she has been affected by the alcohol or drugs.

• ALaptop computer
• BHand-held cell phone
• CDVD player
• DAll of the above

Why: Viewing display screens unrelated to driving, such as those on cell phones, laptop computers and portable DVD players, is prohibited while driving.

• AA fine between $1,000 and $5,000
• BEither jail time or a fine, or both
• CNeither jail time nor a fine
• DSix months in jail

Why: If you are convicted of driving while your licence is suspended for an HTA offence, you will have to pay a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 for a first offence. The court can order you to spend up to six months in jail, or you may have to pay a fine, or do both. Six months will be added to your current suspension as well.

• ANot drive under any circumstances
• BDrive in an emergency
• CDrive when accompanied by a licensed driver
• DDrive to and from work

Why: If your licence is suspended, you may not drive under any circumstances. If you are convicted of driving while your licence is suspended for an HTA offence, you will face fines in the thousands of dollars, the court may order up to six months in jail, and six months will be added to your current suspension.

• ADamage to property other than vehicles is over $2,000
• BDamage to vehicles is over $2,000
• CSomeone has been hurt or killed
• DAny of the above are true

Why: By law, you must report any collision to the police that involves injuries or damage to vehicles or property exceeding $2,000. (This $2,000 figure is what the MTO Driver's Handbook, and therefore the G1 test, still uses. Note: Ontario raised the legal reporting threshold to $5,000 effective January 1, 2025.)

• ATrucks
• BBicycles
• CEmergency vehicles
• DRecreational vehicles

Why: Only emergency vehicles responding to a call may carry a red light visible from the front.

• AIn an emergency
• BWhen that person is learning to drive
• CFor identification purposes only
• DNever

Why: No one else is allowed to use your driver's licence.

• A$1,000,000
• B$250,000
• C$400,000
• D$200,000

Why: All vehicles must be insured for third-party liability for at least $200,000. This covers you in the event that you injure or kill somebody or damage someone's property while driving. Collision insurance to cover damage to your own vehicle is a good idea, but it is not required by law.

• AA jail sentence of up to six months
• BA fine of up to $25,000
• CLicence suspension for five years
• DAll of the above

Why: If you fled a police officer and the police had to pursue you, on conviction you face a fine of $5,000 to $25,000, between 14 days and six months in jail, and a licence suspension for five years.

• AThree years
• BFive years
• CFour years
• DTwo years

Why: If you are convicted of failing to pull over when a police officer signalled you to do so, you will face a fine of $1,000 to $10,000, up to six months in jail, or both. However, if you fled the police officer and the police had to pursue you, you will face a fine of $5,000 to $25,000, between 14 days and six months in jail, and a licence suspension for five years.

• AThe driver failed to explain satisfactorily why his or her licence should not be suspended
• BThe driver has less than five years' driving experience
• CThe driver does not need the licence for business purposes
• DAll of the above are valid reasons for suspension

Why: As a fully licensed driver, you may have to go to an interview to discuss your driving record and explain why your licence should not be suspended. If you fail to attend the interview, or fail to give convincing reasons for keeping your licence, it may be suspended.

• AThey indicate that passing is prohibited
• BThey separate lanes of traffic travelling in opposite directions
• CThey mark the right edge of the roadway
• DThey separate lanes of traffic travelling in the same direction

Why: Broken white lines separate lanes of traffic travelling in the same direction. You may cross a broken white line to pass or change lanes.

• ACyclists are prohibited from using the left-hand lane to turn left
• BYou should leave at least one metre of space when passing a cyclist
• CDo not follow too closely behind cyclists
• DBefore passing a cyclist, change lanes if possible

Why: Cyclists turn left at intersections in the same way as larger vehicles, so they may use the left-hand lane to turn left, that statement is false. When passing a cyclist, allow at least one metre of space, if the lane is too narrow to share, change lanes to pass.

• A0.05%
• B0.02%
• C0.08%
• D0.07%

Why: A supervising driver for a class G1 learner must be fully licensed, with at least four years of driving experience, and have a blood alcohol level of less than 0.05%.

• AFor failure to satisfactorily complete a driver re-examination
• BFor failure to attend a driver re-examination
• CFor possession of an altered driver's licence
• DAny of the above circumstances

Why: A driver's licence may be cancelled for failure to satisfactorily complete a driver re-examination, for failure to attend a driver re-examination, or for possession of an altered driver's licence.

• A0
• B2
• C1
• D3

Why: While you are passing a cyclist, if you fail to leave at least one metre of space between your vehicle and the cyclist, you may face a fine of $60 to $500, and two demerit points may be added to your driver's record.

• ASpeed up to get out of the area quickly
• BHonk your horn a few times to warn the workers
• CSlow down and yield the right of way if necessary
• DCome to a complete stop until the workers signal you to proceed

Why: When approaching a construction area, slow down and yield the right of way if necessary. Obey all construction signs.

• AA GPS device that is properly secured to the dashboard or another accessible place in the vehicle
• BA portable audio player, such as an MP3 player, that has been plugged into the vehicle's sound system with a preset playlist
• CA cell phone with an earpiece or headset, using voice dialing, or plugged into the vehicle's sound system if so equipped
• DAll of the above

Why: All of these are examples of hands-free devices that may legally be used while driving, as long as you only touch them to activate or deactivate them.

• ASlow down as other vehicles give you the right of way
• BStop, then enter traffic quickly
• CSlow down, stop if necessary, and yield the right of way
• DStop, then enter traffic slowly

Why: When you approach a yield sign, slow down, stop if necessary, and yield the right of way to pedestrians and approaching traffic.

• AStop, sound the horn, then proceed
• BStop, and when it's safe to do so, proceed
• CSlow down, and if the way is clear, proceed
• DSlow down, sound the horn, and then proceed

Why: Upon approaching a stop sign, a driver must always come to a full stop, yield to pedestrians and approaching traffic, then proceed when it is safe to do so.

• AThe roads are slippery at night
• BYou cannot see as far ahead at night
• CYour reaction time is four times slower at night
• DSome drivers unlawfully drive with parking lights only

Why: It is more dangerous to drive at the maximum speed limit at night than in the daytime, because you cannot see as far ahead at night, even with headlights. Slow down when driving at night, especially on unlit roads.

• ASpeed up so that passing is not necessary
• BSignal the other driver not to pass
• CMove to the right and allow the vehicle to pass
• DMove to the left and allow the vehicle to pass

Why: Move to the right and allow the vehicle to pass. Do not increase your speed while being passed.

• AAvoiding eye contact
• BFrequent shoulder checks
• CPreventing other drivers from passing
• DAll of the above

Why: Aggressive driving is deliberately driving in a way that increases the chance of a collision. Manifestations include tailgating, yelling obscenities or making obscene gestures at another driver, and deliberately blocking another driver from passing or changing lanes. If you notice another driver acting aggressively, move over and let that driver pass you.

• AA 30-day licence suspension
• BA fine of up to $1,000 and 3 demerit points
• CA fine of up to $500 and two demerit points
• DNone of the above

Why: A fully licensed driver who is convicted of a first offence of using a hand-held electronic device while driving may face a fine of up to $1,000, three demerit points and a 3-day licence suspension.

• AIncrease your speed and pass the pedestrian
• BYield to the pedestrian
• CSlow down and drive with increased caution
• DSound your horn to warn the pedestrian

Why: Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way. Drivers, including cyclists, must stop and allow pedestrians to cross before they proceed.

• ABlue
• BRed
• COrange
• DYellow

Why: Snow removal vehicles on public roadways are equipped with flashing blue lights that can be seen from a distance of 150 m.

• A5 seconds
• B6 seconds
• C2 seconds
• D7 seconds

Why: Under ideal driving conditions, a safe following distance is at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. This lets you see around the vehicle ahead and gives you enough distance to stop suddenly. Increase your following distance in bad weather, when following motorcycles or large trucks, or when carrying a heavy load.

• A500 m
• B60 m
• C120 m
• D150 m

Why: In Ontario, you must dim your headlights to low beam whenever you are within 150 m of an oncoming vehicle, or within 60 m of a vehicle you are following. On rural roads, switch to low beams when you come to a curve or hilltop, so that you can see oncoming headlights and won't blind oncoming drivers. If you can't see any headlights, switch back to high beams.

• AHonk your horn
