Alberta Class 7 Practice Test 4

Driving faster than what you see (overdriving your headlights) at night is dangerous because:

• You cannot stop within the distance that you can see
• Your headlights may become overworked and thus stop working at all
• You may blind oncoming drivers
• You won't be able to see if it becomes foggy

You're driving on a divided highway when you see a school bus stopped (facing in the same direction you're travelling). Its alternating flashing red lights are on and a stop arm is out. What should you do:

• Stop behind the bus, look carefully for pedestrians, and if it’s clear, drive past the bus slowly
• Move to the left lane, slow down to 40 km/h and pass cautiously
• Stop behind the bus and wait until the red alternating lights are off
• Use your horn to alert pedestrians and pass at a reduced speed

If an emergency vehicle with flashing lights and sirens is coming towards you, when should you yield the right of way?

• In all circumstances
• In intersections
• While driving on the right side of the road
• While on your side of a divided median

When you press the clutch pedal, the connection between the transmission and the wheel is:

• In park
• In neutral
• Engaged
• Disengaged

When you exit a highway, slow down:

• After you enter the deceleration lane
• Before reaching the deceleration lane
• Before putting on your signal
• Only if there is traffic behind you

What should you do before passing a vehicle that is moving very slowly on a two-lane highway?

• Pass only when the way ahead is clear and passing is allowed
• Exceed the speed limit to make sure you pass quickly
• Shoulder check to your right to look for other road users attempting to pass on the right
• Focus on your rear-view mirror
