1. A driver waiting to pull out looks straight at you. What does that tell you?
Correct answer: Nothing; a driver may look at you and still pull out
Eye contact proves nothing: drivers look right at riders and still fail to register them, so never treat a glance as a promise that the driver will yield.

2. What must you do before riding out of an alley or driveway onto a public street?
Correct answer: Stop and yield to traffic on the street
Traffic already on the street has the right-of-way, so you stop and yield before entering from an alley, a driveway, or a farmyard.

3. You face a stop line at a blind intersection. What sequence does the manual describe?
Correct answer: Stop at the line, edge forward and stop again short of the cross lane, then look
Stop at the line first, then creep ahead and stop again just short of the cross-traffic lane, leaning forward to look past the obstruction while keeping your front wheel clear of that lane.

5. Your light has just turned green. What must you still do?
Correct answer: Yield to pedestrians and to vehicles still in the intersection
A green light does not clear the intersection for you: yield to pedestrians and to vehicles that are still caught inside it.

6. You are turning left at an intersection. Which traffic must you yield to?
Correct answer: Oncoming traffic close enough to present a hazard

7. How should a rider approach an intersection where parked cars or buildings block the view?
Correct answer: Ride in the lane portion that puts you in the other driver's view soonest
Pick the part of the lane that brings you into the view of the cross-street driver as early as possible, which often means moving away from the parked cars.

8. What does Hawaii's manual say about funeral processions and convoys?
Correct answer: They have the right-of-way at intersections and must not be driven through
Processions and convoys hold the right-of-way at intersections; their vehicles usually run headlamps for identification, and you must not cut in between them.

9. Why should a rider avoid sudden changes of speed or position while entering an intersection?
Correct answer: Because drivers may read the movement as a turn and pull out
Abrupt moves can read as a turn to other drivers, which may prompt them to pull out in front of you.

10. Which drivers pose the greatest threat to a rider at an intersection?
Correct answer: Drivers turning left across your path and those pulling out of side streets
Vehicles turning left across your path, including one turning left out of the lane to your right, and vehicles pulling out of side streets are named as the biggest hazards.

11. You are nearing an intersection where a driver is getting ready to cross your path. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow down, pick a lane position that improves your visibility, and cover the clutch and both brakes
Ease off the speed, choose the lane position that makes you easiest for that driver to see, and cover the clutch lever and both brakes so your reaction time is as short as possible.

12. Two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same moment. Who goes first?
Correct answer: The vehicle on the right
When vehicles arrive together, the one on the left gives way to the one on the right.
