3. An oncoming vehicle is signaling a left turn across your path. How should you set yourself up?
Correct answer: Slow, improve your visibility, cover the clutch and brakes, and be ready to stop hard
Slow, pick a lane position that makes you easier for that driver to see, cover the clutch and both brakes to cut your reaction time, and be ready to stop hard and hold your line if the vehicle turns across you anyway.

4. What does the manual say about making eye contact with a driver waiting to pull out?
Correct answer: It proves nothing, because a driver can look right at a rider and not see them
Eye contact is never a guarantee: drivers look straight at motorcyclists and still fail to register them, so the only eyes you can rely on are your own, and if a car can enter your path you should assume it will.

5. At an intersection with stop signs on every corner, who has the right of way?
Correct answer: The driver who arrived first, after stopping completely
At three-way, four-way and all-way stops, whoever gets there first may go first, once that driver has come to a full stop.

7. According to the Arkansas manual, who must yield when one vehicle passes another going the same way?
Correct answer: The passing driver must give way to the vehicle being overtaken
The overtaking driver has to give way to the vehicle being overtaken, even when it is slowing or stopping, because it may be about to turn left or may have spotted a hazard the passing driver has not.

8. You are leaving a driveway and must cross the sidewalk. Who has the right of way?
Correct answer: Pedestrians on the sidewalk
A driver who crosses a sidewalk on the way into or out of a driveway, alley or parking lot has to give way to people on foot, and driving along a sidewalk is illegal except to cross one.

9. How does the Arkansas manual describe the right-of-way rules?
Correct answer: They decide who yields, and no vehicle is ever given an absolute right-of-way
The rules decide who goes first and who waits; they never hand any vehicle an absolute right-of-way, and a driver must still do everything possible to avoid striking a pedestrian or another vehicle.

10. You are stopped at a stop sign where buildings block your view of cross traffic. What sequence does the manual describe?
Correct answer: Stop at the line, creep forward and stop a second time short of the cross lane, then look around the obstruction
Make your first stop at the sign or line, then creep forward and stop a second time just before the cross-traffic lane begins, leaning forward to see past the obstruction while your front wheel stays clear of that lane.

11. Which pedestrians are given absolute right of way under Arkansas rules?
Correct answer: Pedestrians walking with a guide dog or a white cane
Anyone walking with a guide dog or a white cane has an absolute claim to the right of way, and you should keep off the horn, since it can confuse or frighten them.

12. When may you enter an intersection in Arkansas?
Correct answer: Only when you can clear it without having to stop inside
You may not enter an intersection unless you can get all the way through it without having to stop, so wait for traffic to clear rather than blocking the crossing.
