## What extra look must a Colorado driver take before a legal right on red?

The official Colorado Driver Handbook on dmv.colorado.gov says before turning right at a red light where it is legal, come to a complete stop. Look for bicyclists behind or next to your vehicle, making a left turn from the opposite side of the street or traveling in the lane with which you plan to merge. That red-right-cue is separate from the already-shipped conflict-zone extra. Testers invent leftover Colorado roll-the-red-if-the-car-lane-looks-empty courtesy. Before-turning-right-on-red-look-for-bicyclists-behind-beside-or-turning-left leftover from the prior extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## Where may a Colorado bicyclist ride inside a travel lane to stay visible and safe?

The official Colorado Driver Handbook on dmv.colorado.gov says be aware that bicyclists may ride in the center of the travel lane to increase their visibility and safety. That center-lane-cue is separate from the already-shipped ride-outside-a-bike-lane extra. Testers invent leftover Colorado force-the-bike-onto-the-gutter courtesy. Bicyclists-may-ride-in-the-center-of-the-travel-lane-for-visibility leftover from the prior extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## Besides sunset to sunrise, when does Colorado law require headlights?

Colorado law requires headlights from sunset to sunrise or when visibility is less than 1,000 feet. Daytime running lamps may not light the tail lamps the way a full headlight switch does. If you cannot see a thousand feet, turn them on. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## How far from a stopped Colorado school bus with its lights on must other vehicles stop?

Colorado tells vehicles to stop no less than 20 feet from a school bus that is loading or unloading. Opposite-direction traffic on a divided highway with a barrier is treated differently. Twenty feet is the number on an ordinary road. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## When may a two-wheeled motorcycle filter past cars in the same Colorado lane?

Colorado lane filtering lets a two-wheeled motorcycle pass other motor vehicles in the same lane only when those vehicles are stopped, vehicles in the next lanes are also stopped, there is enough room, and the motorcycle stays at 15 mph or less. Testers treat a slow Colorado crawl as a filter. Moving traffic is not the filter case. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## May you operate a motor vehicle in Colorado while wearing earphones?

Colorado says you may not operate a motor vehicle while wearing earphones. Earphones include any device or headset that covers all or a portion of both ears. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive listening devices, speakers built into protective headgear, and a device that covers only one ear are carved out. Testers cover both Colorado ears. One ear open unless it is a hearing aid. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## A fire apparatus is answering a fire alarm on a Colorado street. How close may other drivers follow, and where may they park?

Colorado Revised Statute 42-4-1403 says a driver other than one on official business shall not follow fire apparatus traveling in response to a fire alarm closer than 500 feet, or drive into or park in the block where that apparatus has stopped. Testers invent a 200-foot Colorado follow copied from other states. Five hundred feet in motion and stay out of that block. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

Colorado Revised Statute 42-4-1204 forbids standing or parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, or on the opposite side within 75 feet of that entrance when it is properly signposted. Testers copy a flat 75-foot Colorado buffer with no sign. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear, separate from the five-foot driveway extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## In a Colorado urban area, how far before a turn or lane change must your signal stay on?

Colorado’s handbook says the turn signal is turned on continuously 100 feet before turning or changing lanes in urban areas, and 200 feet in other settings. Using a last-second flick in town is not enough warning. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## How are pedestrians who are blind usually identified in the Colorado handbook?

Colorado says people with limited vision are easily recognized by the white cane they carry and/or by their guide dog, and pedestrians have the right-of-way. Slow, yield, and do not crowd them into the curb. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## How far from an oncoming vehicle must you dim high beams in Colorado?

Colorado says if you have high-beam lights with fog lights on, you must dim them before coming within 500 feet of any oncoming vehicle so the other driver is not blinded. Use low beams when following another vehicle as well. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## Under normal conditions, what following-distance method does the Colorado handbook teach?

Colorado’s three-second rule is the handbook’s normal-condition following gap. Watch the vehicle ahead pass a marker, then count one-thousand-one through one-thousand-three before you reach it. Increase the gap at night or in weather. Testers still sell a two-second Colorado myth. Count a full three. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## After you stop at a Colorado steady red, when may you turn left?

Colorado says that after stopping and yielding to pedestrians and other traffic, and if not prohibited by a sign, you may turn right on red. You may also turn left on red from a one-way street onto another one-way street unless a sign prohibits it. A red arrow means stop and do not turn in that direction. Testers invent a Colorado ban on every left on red. The one-way-to-one-way left is the handbook exception. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## Where parallel parking is permitted in Colorado, how close to the curb must your vehicle sit?

Colorado requires a parallel-parked vehicle to sit within 12 inches of the curb, or as close as possible to the outside edge of the shoulder, so traffic is not blocked. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Colorado curb gap. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## You are parked on a Colorado street and about to open your door. Which hand does the handbook tell you to use?

Colorado tells drivers parked on the street to check to the sides and rear for bicyclists before opening a door, and to use the hand closest to the center of the vehicle — a behavior commonly known as the Dutch Reach. That turn lets you see a rider in the door zone. Testers pop the near Colorado handle after a mirror glance. The far-hand reach is the study method. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Colorado handbook.

## May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Colorado curb?

Colorado Revised Statute 42-4-1204 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle already stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street.
