3. At a two-way stop, two vehicles facing the stop signs arrive together — one going straight, one turning across the other's path. Who yields?
Correct answer: The vehicle turning across the lane must yield
The driver planning to cut across the oncoming lane waits; the one continuing straight ahead goes first.

4. You have a solid green light and want to turn left across oncoming traffic. What does the green mean for you?
Correct answer: You must yield to oncoming traffic
A plain green permits the turn but gives no protection: you must yield to the oncoming stream, exactly as a flashing yellow arrow requires.

5. What must happen before you turn right on a red light in Mississippi?
Correct answer: A complete stop, then yielding to traffic and pedestrians
A complete stop comes first, then you yield to other traffic and to pedestrians — slowing and yielding without stopping is illegal, and some signs forbid the turn outright.

6. You have a stop sign at a blind intersection. What two-part stop does the manual describe?
Correct answer: Stop at the line, then creep ahead and stop a second time just before the cross lane
Stop at the sign or line first. Then creep ahead and stop a second time, just before the cross lane starts, leaning out to see past whatever is blocking the view while your front wheel stays clear of the crossing traffic.

8. An ambulance with lights and siren comes up behind you and you are already inside an intersection. What does the manual want?
Correct answer: Continue through the intersection, then pull over to the far right shoulder
Clear the intersection first, then pull over to the far right shoulder; emergency vehicles running lights or siren always hold the right of way.

10. An emergency vehicle sits on the shoulder of a four-lane highway with its lights running. What are you required to do?
Correct answer: Merge into the lane away from it if safe, otherwise slow and prepare to stop
Move into the lane away from it if that can be done safely; if it cannot, slow down and be ready to stop.

11. Two vehicles reach a four-way stop at exactly the same moment. Who goes first?
Correct answer: The vehicle on the right
The first to arrive normally has it; when arrivals tie, the vehicle on the right goes first — and you should not stamp on the brakes trying to arrive first.

12. An oncoming driver is signaling a left turn across your path. What does the manual want from a rider?
Correct answer: Be ready to brake hard and hold your ground
Be ready to brake hard and hold your ground if the vehicle turns in front of you, especially with other traffic packed around you — and apply the same caution whenever an oncoming vehicle signals left, intersection or not.
