MI Driver's License Written Test Study Guide 2024-2025. Questions and Correct Answers. Graded A 15 mph - ANSIn mobile home parks and some municipal parks. 25 mph - ANSIn platted subdivisions (showing boundaries,streets, easements and other features of surveyed lots) and condominium complexes. Watch for signs when driving through business districts, county, state and federal parks, on roads adjacent to parks and playgrounds, and in school zones as posted speed limits vary. 45 mph - ANSIn a work zone if posted. If a work zone is not posted for 45 mph, then the speed limit is the normal speed limit for that area. 55 mph - ANSUnless otherwise posted, on all streets that are not designated freeways and on all highways. 70 mph maximum/55 mph minimum - ANSOn all freeways unless posted otherwise. School buses and trucks are restricted to 60 mph. On freeways with speed limits less than 70 mph, school buses and trucks are restricted to 55 mph. Approaching the roundabout: - ANSSlow down as you approach the roundabout. Look for roadside signs and pavement markings to direct you into the correct lane before entering the roundabout. As you approach the yield line, look to your left before proceeding into the roundabout. When an appropriate gap in traffic appears, enter the roundabout and merge with the flow of the other vehicles. Never make a left turn to enter a roundabout - this will place you in front of oncoming traffic. At intersections without any signals or signs, or at intersections with all stop signs: - ANSYield to the driver on the right if you reach the intersection at the same time as another vehicle. Yield to any vehicle that reaches an intersection before you. At a "T" intersection without any signals or signs, yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians on the through road. You must stop and yield the right-of-way when entering a highway from an alley, private road or driveway. Acceleration does not cancel the cruise control setting - depressing the brake pedal will. Using cruise control in heavy traffic, near large numbers of exit and entrance ramps or when roads are slippery from rain, snow or ice is not recommended. Dashed white lines: - ANSDashed white lines painted across a roundabout's traffic lane indicate you should yield to traffic. Directional arrows: - ANSWide white arrows painted down the center of the traffic lane indicate the direction that the vehicle must travel. In the graphic provided, the arrow pointing to the right indicates that all vehicles in this lane must turn right. The next lane may go straight or turn right. Always check for traffic and pedestrians before proceeding or completing your turn. Double solid white line - ANSUsed to show a travel path where driving in the same direction is permitted on both sides of the line but crossing the line is prohibited. Entrance ramp - ANSMerges into an acceleration lane allowing you to increase your speed to match freeway traffic speed. Exiting the roundabout: - ANSMaintain a slow speed. Indicate your exit by using your turn signal. Do not accelerate until you are beyond the pedestrian crossing at the exit. Fatigue: - ANSOne of the greatest dangers in freeway driving is fatigue. On long trips you can become sleepy or hypnotized by the constant hum of the wind, tires and engine. If necessary, let someone else drive. Do not rely on coffee or "stay awake" drugs. If you feel tired, stop and rest for a 10-minute break at least every two hours. Pull off the highway at the next exit. Find a motel or rest area and relax. Keep checking the mirrors. Look at objects near and far, left and right. Freeway Driving - ANSSignal and check for freeway traffic by using the vehicle's rearview and side-view mirrors and quick glances over your shoulder. Choose a safe space to enter and then merge into traffic, yielding the right-of-way to vehicles on the freeway. Do not count on other drivers to let you in. On a two-lane freeway, drive in the right lane except when passing, exiting to the left, allowing another vehicle to merge onto the freeway, when the lanes are fully occupied with heavily congested traffic or when emergency vehicles or construction workers are on the shoulder. On a freeway with three or more lanes of travel in the same direction, you may drive in any lane, however, if driving at or near the minimum speed limit, drivers should stay in the lane with the slower moving traffic. Merge signs are placed near freeway entrances to alert you to traffic entering the freeway. Always watch for vehicles merging onto the freeway. Adjusting your speed or moving safely into another lane will allow drivers to enter the freeway smoothly and safely. Always watch for drivers who suddenly slow down when approaching an exit or swerve into the exit lane unexpectedly. Headlights - ANSHeadlights must be turned on one half-hour after sunset until one half-hour before sunrise and at other times when visibility is reduced. Use your low beams when it is foggy, raining or snowing during the day. Headlights must be on any time there is not enough daylight to see people and vehicles clearly at 500 feet. It is illegal to use or even flash high-beam headlights within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle. Most cars have at least two blind spots or areas around them that you cannot see in your mirror located where? - ANSTo the left rear and right rear of the vehicle. Never park: - ANS• Where "no stopping," "no standing," "no parking," and "no parking at any time" signs are posted. • Within 500 feet of a fire or a crash. • Within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. • Within 20 feet of a fire station driveway on the same side of the street or, when marked, within 75 feet of the driveway on the other side of the street. • Within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. • In front of any driveway, alley, theater, emergency exit or fire escape. • Next to a road where you block the view of drivers turning at an intersection. • More than 12 inches from the curb or against the flow of traffic. This means the curb should never be more than 12 inches from your vehicle when parked. • Within 30 feet of a stop sign, traffic light or flashing beacon, including a warning sign. • In a lane of a highway outside city or village limits if there is a highway shoulder. • On or under a bridge (excluding bridges with parking meters or parking spaces), on an overpass or in a tunnel. • On a sidewalk or in front of a public or private driveway. • Within an intersection, crosswalk or designated bike lane. • Within 20 feet of a marked crosswalk or 15 feet of an intersection if there is no crosswalk • On the street-side of a legally parked vehicle (double parking). • So that you obstruct delivery of mail to a rural mailbox. • In a disability parking space if you don't have a disability parking placard or disability license plate. • In a disability parking space if none of the occupants in the vehicle are disabled. • On the blue-striped access aisle or access lane adjacent to a van- accessible disability parking space. • In a manner that interferes with a ramp or curb cut used by people with disabilities. Other reasons to yield: - ANSYou must yield when directed by a uniformed law enforcement officer and when directed by flag people at construction sites. You must yield for vehicles in a funeral procession. You must yield to emergency vehicles, approaching from any direction or, if stopped, when their lights are flashing. Time is critical in an emergency situation. Pulling over and allowing emergency vehicles to reach their destinations as quickly and safely as possible may save a life. You also must yield whenever you are approaching or passing a stopped waste collection, utility service or road maintenance vehicle with its lights flashing. Parking on a hill: - ANSTo park on a hill, turn the tires so that if the unattended vehicle starts to roll, it moves into the curb. Always use the parking brake. You cannot expect the transmission to hold your vehicle on a hill. Parking violations: - ANSCommunities may pass parking ordinances for local streets that are stricter than state law. Signs will be posted at the city limits. The owner of a vehicle parked illegally is responsible for any parking tickets. If the vehicle is being leased, the person leasing it is responsible. Passing - ANSWhen passing other vehicles, always check your rearview and side-view mirrors for any overtaking traffic. Use your turn signal to indicate your intentions. Check blind spots by turning your head to see if you can safely move from your lane without interfering with traffic. even if the shoulder is paved or a bike lane is present. It is also illegal to use a right-turn lane for passing. Passing parked vehicles: - ANSWhen driving past parked vehicles, watch for vehicles that may pull out in front of you. Look for clues, such as a person in the driver's seat, exhaust coming from a tailpipe, illuminated brake lights, a flashing turn signal, illuminated backup lights, or at parallel parking areas, a vehicle's front wheels turning out. Watch for a vehicle door being opened in front of you. Also, watch for pedestrians or bicyclists trying to cross the road between parked vehicles. Passing vehicles in slow-moving traffic lanes: - ANSIn some areas with a long or steep grade, a slow-moving traffic lane may be provided to allow vehicles that are unable to maintain the speed limit to travel without blocking traffic. These slower-moving vehicles should move into the designated traffic lane, allowing other vehicles to pass them in the second lane. Prevent Skid - ANSTo prevent a skid in vehicles with standard brakes, use steady pressure on the brakes without locking them. This method allows the wheels to turn, maintaining steering control. If the vehicle has full antilock brakes, maintain brake pressure and steer. Railroad crossing: - ANSThis sign warns of a railroad crossing ahead. If a train is coming, all vehicles must stop no more than 50 feet or less than 15 feet from the tracks. Trains overhang the tracks by at least three feet on each side. Rain and Fog - ANSWhen it begins to rain, the roads are most slippery during the first half-hour. This is because oil dropped from passing vehicles has not been washed away. When your tires ride on top of the water on a wet road, you are hydroplaning, which can result in a loss of control. Drive slowly in fog. Turn on the low-beam headlights and be prepared to stop quickly. When fog becomes so thick that you cannot see at all, pull off the road. Turn on the four-way emergency flashers and wait for the fog to lift. Right turn on red: - ANSUnless a sign tells you "no turn on red," you may turn right at a red light after coming to a complete stop. You must yield to pedestrians and approaching traffic. Make sure to look to your left, front and right before starting your turn. Then turn carefully. Right turn signaling - ANSLeft arm and hand bent up. Right-of-way at stop or yield signs: - ANSYield the right-of-way to any vehicle or pedestrian in the intersection and cross traffic that is not required to stop. When turning left at a stop or yield sign, yield the right-of-way to cross traffic and pedestrians. Yield to the first vehicle from the opposite side that is going straight or turning right. Then, you may turn left so long as cross traffic and pedestrians are still clear. Right-of-way at traffic signals: - ANSWhen turning left at a traffic signal, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and oncoming traffic. Roundabouts - ANSA circular intersection where entering traffic yields to vehicles traveling counterclockwise around a central island. Vehicles entering from each leg of the intersection must yield to the traffic already in the roundabout, which is coming from the left. Vehicles exit the roundabout by making a right turn onto the desired road. School Bus - ANSWhen the red overhead lights are flashing, stop at least 20 feet from the school bus. Sharrows: - ANSPavement markings that assist bicyclists in determining the appropriate line of travel. They also alert motorists that bicyclists may be traveling in that lane and to pass with sufficient clearance. Skid - ANSIf the vehicle begins to skid, remain calm and do the following: Take your foot off the accelerator. A green light means proceed cautiously after checking for pedestrians and vehicles. A flashing red light means come to a full stop. Proceed when the road is clear. A flashing yellow light means proceed carefully through the intersection. Scan across traffic in both directions. A steady green arrow means you may proceed with caution in the direction of the arrow if the way is clear. Traffic signals: arrows - ANSA solid red arrow means you must stop. You cannot turn until the signal changes. A solid yellow arrow warns you that the left turn signal is about to change to red. If you are approaching the intersection, you must stop. However, if you are already within the intersection and there is no conflicting traffic present, you may complete your left turn. A flashing yellow arrow allows you to turn left when oncoming traffic, which has a green light, is clear. Be sure that there is an adequate gap in the oncoming traffic and that there are no pedestrians or bicyclists crossing before making your turn. A solid green arrow indicates that oncoming traffic is stopped and you may turn left. Proceed with caution. At intersections equipped with vehicle-detection cameras or in-pavement sensors, this sequence may be skipped if there are no left-turning vehicles. Traveling in a roundabout: - ANSAlways stay to the right of the center island. Vehicles within the roundabout have the right of way. Do not stop within a roundabout unless it is the only way to safely avoid a collision or other danger. If an emergency vehicle is heard or seen approaching, do not stop. Exit the roundabout, pull over to the right and stop, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass. Avoid changing lanes in a multiple-lane roundabout. Move into the lane you need before entering the roundabout. Give special consideration to trucks, trailers, and other large vehicles. Avoid passing or driving next to large vehicles, as they may need more than one lane to navigate through the roundabout. Refrain from passing other vehicles, bicycles and mopeds. When entering or exiting a roundabout, watch for pedestrians crossing the street. Trucks - ANSA passenger vehicle traveling at 55 mph can stop in about 130 feet to 140 feet. A commercial vehicle traveling at the same speed takes 400 feet to stop. Large commercial trucks have blind spots or "no zones," spaces in which motorists should not linger because they are not readily visible to the commercial driver. What are "hidden vehicles"? - ANSTraffic may be hidden by larger vehicles that are traveling in the same direction. Be alert for these when crossing multiple lanes. What following distance is required? - ANSThree- to four-second. What to do as you approach an intersection? - ANSCheck for oncoming and cross traffic, other highway users, signals, signs and pavement markings, the condition of the roadway and areas of limited visibility. When an emergency vehicle is approaching: - ANSPull over to the edge of the roadway, clear of intersections and stop.
