1. While driving with a learner permit in the District of Columbia, during which hours are you allowed to be behind the wheel?
- A Any hour, as long as a licensed adult rides along
- B 5:00 am to 8:00 pm
- C Everyday, 6:00am – 9:00pm
- D Only during daylight hours
Correct answer: C. The DC DMV Driver Manual GRAD table says a learner permit must be accompanied by a driver 21 years or older Everyday, 6:00am – 9:00pm.
2. You failed the knowledge test on a Tuesday at a District of Columbia DMV service center. When can you test again?
- A The next business day
- B On Saturday, after waiting three full calendar days
- C After a two-week waiting period
- D Immediately, if you pay the fee twice
Correct answer: B. DC DMV makes you wait three full calendar days, so a Tuesday failure means returning Saturday at the earliest. Use the pause to restudy the manual instead of rushing back unprepared.
3. In the District of Columbia, what happens if you fail the knowledge test six times within a 12-month period?
- A You may keep retesting every three days
- B You must take a driver education course
- C Your permit application is denied permanently
- D You must wait 12 months from your first failure before a seventh try
Correct answer: D. Six failures in twelve months lock you out until a year passes from that first failed attempt. The rule pushes real preparation over guessing. Think of it as six strikes, then a full year off.
4. After you pass the knowledge test in the District of Columbia, how long do you have to bring your documents to a service center?
- A 14 business days
- B 30 calendar days
- C 90 days
- D 6 months
Correct answer: A. You have 14 business days to appear with your eligibility documents, or the passing result is no longer honored and you must test again. Passing the test starts a two-week clock, so gather papers early.
5. Before taking the road skills test for a provisional license in the District of Columbia, how much supervised practice must you certify?
- A 10 hours
- B 25 hours
- C 40 hours with a tutor age 21 or older
- D 60 hours, half of them at night
Correct answer: C. You and your tutor sign a certification showing at least 40 hours of practice with a fully licensed driver age 21 or older. Bring that form to your road test appointment or you cannot test.
6. From September through June, a provisional license holder in the District of Columbia must stop driving by what time on a Tuesday night?
- A 9:00 pm
- B 10:59 pm
- C 11:59 pm
- D Midnight
Correct answer: B. September through June, provisional drivers may be on the road Sunday through Thursday until 10:59 pm, with Friday and Saturday extended to 11:59 pm. School nights end earlier than weekends.
7. You are 17 and hold a full license with conditions in the District of Columbia. How many passengers under age 21 may ride with you?
- A No more than 2, not counting your siblings
- B No passengers at all
- C Only 1 passenger
- D Any number, as long as everyone buckles up
Correct answer: A. Drivers under 18 may carry no more than two passengers under 21, and siblings do not count toward that limit. Fewer young passengers means fewer distractions while you are still gaining experience.
8. What is the maximum lawful speed when you drive through an alley in the District of Columbia?
- A 10 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 25 mph
- D 15 mph
Correct answer: D. Alleys carry a 15 mph maximum because they are narrow, with blind corners, pedestrians, and cars backing out of garages. Treat every alley as a place where something could step out suddenly.
9. On a District of Columbia street next to a school, what is the speed limit during the hours shown on the official signs?
- A 20 mph
- B 15 mph
- C 25 mph
- D 10 mph
Correct answer: B. Streets beside school buildings and grounds drop to 15 mph during posted times, and when no times appear, the limit applies at arrival, dismissal, and recess. Moving violation fines double in school zones.
10. Under District of Columbia law, driving how far above the posted speed limit counts as reckless driving?
- A 5 mph or more
- B 10 mph or more
- C 20 mph or more
- D It is never reckless if traffic is moving fast
Correct answer: C. Going 20 mph or more over the limit is reckless driving in the District, and 30 mph or more over becomes aggravated reckless driving. Speeding stops being a simple ticket and becomes a serious charge.
11. In the District of Columbia, what alcohol concentration makes a commercial vehicle driver legally intoxicated?
- A 0.04
- B 0.08
- C 0.10
- D 0.02
Correct answer: A. Commercial drivers hit the intoxicated threshold at 0.04, half the level used for regular drivers. Bigger, heavier vehicles do far more damage, so the law holds their operators to a stricter standard.
12. District of Columbia law defines being impaired by alcohol or drugs in which way?
- A Only after a chemical test confirms a set number
- B Only when a crash occurs
- C Only for drivers under 21
- D Your ability to drive is affected in a way others can notice
Correct answer: D. Impairment means your driving ability is noticeably affected, with no specific number required. You can be charged even below the numeric intoxication limits, so one drink before driving is still a real risk.
13. For a driver of a regular passenger vehicle in the District of Columbia, which urine alcohol level meets the definition of intoxicated?
- A 0.05 grams per 100 milliliters
- B 0.10 grams per 100 milliliters
- C 0.15 grams per 100 milliliters
- D 0.02 grams per 100 milliliters
Correct answer: B. DC law lists thresholds for blood, breath, and urine; for urine the figure is 0.10 grams per 100 milliliters. Chemical tests can use more than one sample type, so refusing one does not erase the others.
14. A bicyclist ahead of you in the District of Columbia rolls through a stop sign without fully stopping. What does the law say?
- A The rider must always come to a complete stop
- B Riders may do this only on marked bike routes
- C Riders may proceed without stopping if the speed is safe and they yield
- D Bicyclists must dismount at every stop sign
Correct answer: C. Riders may pass a stop sign without stopping when moving at a safe speed, seeing no hazard, and yielding to pedestrians and traffic with the right of way. Expect it, and do not assume a full stop.
15. While driving with a full license with conditions in the District of Columbia, what is the seat belt rule?
- A You and every passenger must be belted at all times
- B Only front seat riders need belts
- C Only the driver needs a belt
- D Belts are optional on trips under one mile
Correct answer: A. Under GRAD conditions, you and all your passengers must wear seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. A dropped belt can cost you the license you just earned, so check everyone before shifting into drive.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in District of Columbia?
- A Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In District of Columbia, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a District of Columbia permit. When in doubt, start at the DMV site.
17. You need to confirm a District of Columbia permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official District of Columbia driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. The official DC DMV Driver Manual is the source to study. Be sure to read the entire manual carefully. If you do not read and study this manual, you will not pass the knowledge test required for obtaining a DC driver license.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on District of Columbia roads?
- A District of Columbia's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and District of Columbia law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are District of Columbia law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the District of Columbia version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DMV officially call the District of Columbia permit written exam?
- A knowledge test
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The DC DMV Driver Manual calls the written exam the knowledge test. To obtain a learner permit you must be at least 16 years old, pass the knowledge test and vision screening.
20. Where is the official District of Columbia driver handbook published?
- A By the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The DMV publishes the District of Columbia handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in District of Columbia?
- A 16
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia lets you apply for a learner's permit at 16, according to the DMV. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. For a driver 21 or older in District of Columbia, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and District of Columbia can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
23. Drivers under 21 in District of Columbia are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A any detectable amount
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: any detectable amount. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in District of Columbia, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
24. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in District of Columbia is:
- A 20 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia's typical unposted residential / city default is 20 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 20 mph and watch the next plaque.
25. Does the DMV offer any online option for the District of Columbia DC DMV Knowledge Test?
- A Yes, in some cases — check eligibility on the official site
- B No, never, for any applicant
- C Only through a social-media quiz
- D Only if you already hold a CDL
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia does offer an online knowledge-test path for some applicants. Eligibility, ID rules, and camera rules change, so confirm them on the DMV site before you plan around it. An online test still means no handbook in your lap.
26. Which fee listing matches what the DMV currently publishes for a District of Columbia permit or license application?
- A Learner permit $20 and provisional license $20; the knowledge test costs $10 at a DC DMV service center, $39.95 at a Test Proctoring Center, or $49.95 virtually, and is charged whether you pass or fail. The road test is $10, with a $30 fee if you fail to cancel at least two business days ahead. A full driver license is $47 for eight years. A 2.5% service fee applies to debit and credit card payments.
- B There is never a fee in District of Columbia
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this District of Columbia amount: Learner permit $20 and provisional license $20; the knowledge test costs $10 at a DC DMV service center, $39.95 at a Test Proctoring Center, or $49.95 virtually, and is charged whether you pass or fail. The road test is $10, with a $30 fee if you fail to cancel at least two business days ahead. A full driver license is $47 for eight years. A 2.5% service fee applies to debit and credit card payments.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
27. If you fail the District of Columbia DC DMV Knowledge Test, which statement matches the DMV's published retake rule?
- A If you do not pass, you must wait three full calendar days and may return on the fourth day to test again, paying the fee each attempt. If you fail six times within a 12-month period, you cannot take a seventh test until 12 months after your first failure. Cheating, including using smart devices or study materials, fails the test and blocks retesting for 60 days.
- B You are banned from driving in District of Columbia for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The DMV never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia's published retake rule is: If you do not pass, you must wait three full calendar days and may return on the fourth day to test again, paying the fee each attempt. If you fail six times within a 12-month period, you cannot take a seventh test until 12 months after your first failure. Cheating, including using smart devices or study materials, fails the test and blocks retesting for 60 days. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
28. What does the DMV publish about languages for the District of Columbia knowledge test?
- A The knowledge test is offered in 15 languages: English, Amharic, Arabic, Cantonese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese, with audio-assisted versions for those who need reading help. Nine more were added December 15, 2025: Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish, Danish, Indonesian, Dutch, Farsi, Italian, and Swedish.
- B English only in every office, with no exceptions listed
- C Latin and Esperanto only
- D The test is offered as a mime exam with no written language
Correct answer: A. Language options in District of Columbia: The knowledge test is offered in 15 languages: English, Amharic, Arabic, Cantonese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese, with audio-assisted versions for those who need reading help. Nine more were added December 15, 2025: Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish, Danish, Indonesian, Dutch, Farsi, Italian, and Swedish. Ask at the office or on the DMV site when you schedule, because not every location stocks every language every day. Bring an interpreter only if the DMV says that is allowed.
29. Which statement correctly describes District of Columbia's published graduated-licensing rules for new drivers?
- A New drivers under 21 in the District enter the GRAD program, which moves through a learner permit, a provisional license, and then a full license. Permit holders must be at least 16 and may drive only between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm; a provisional license requires holding the permit six months, 12 consecutive months without a points-assessable offense, a certification of 40 hours of practice with a tutor 21 or older, and a road skills test. Provisional drivers may drive from 6:00 am until 10:59 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:59 pm Friday and Saturday during September through June, and until 11:59 pm daily in July and August. At 17, after six months on a provisional license and 10 certified hours of night practice, you can move to a full license with conditions, which caps passengers under 21 at two (siblings excluded); driving-hour and passenger limits end at 18.
- B New drivers in District of Columbia may drive alone on a permit with no supervising adult at any hour.
- C District of Columbia has no night, passenger, or practice-hour rules for teens.
- D A District of Columbia permit is valid nationwide as a full unrestricted license.
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia's GDL summary from the DMV: New drivers under 21 in the District enter the GRAD program, which moves through a learner permit, a provisional license, and then a full license. Permit holders must be at least 16 and may drive only between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm; a provisional license requires holding the permit six months, 12 consecutive months without a points-assessable offense, a certification of 40 hours of practice with a tutor 21 or older, and a road skills test. Provisional drivers may drive from 6:00 am until 10:59 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:59 pm Friday and Saturday during September through June, and until 11:59 pm daily in July and August. At 17, after six months on a provisional license and 10 certified hours of night practice, you can move to a full license with conditions, which caps passengers under 21 at two (siblings excluded); driving-hour and passenger limits end at 18. Those details — hours, passengers, practice logs — are what real exams poke at. Reread them the night before you test.
30. A practice question about District of Columbia road rules disagrees with the DMV handbook. Which source should you trust on test day?
- A The official District of Columbia handbook and DMV website
- B The practice question, because websites are always newer
- C A text from a friend who passed in another state
- D The first unpaid ad in your search results
Correct answer: A. Handbooks win. District of Columbia's DMV writes the exam from its own manual and statutes. If we or any other site drift, the official page is the one the scorer uses. When two answers collide, open the District of Columbia handbook.
31. When may a District of Columbia learner-permit holder drive?
- A Everyday, 6:00am – 9:00pm, and must be accompanied by a driver 21 years or older
- B Anytime with a tutor
- C From 10:59 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- D Only on weekends
Correct answer: A. The DC DMV Driver Manual GRAD permissible driving hours say a learner permit must be accompanied by a driver 21 years or older Everyday, 6:00am – 9:00pm.
32. On a school-year Friday or Saturday, until what time may a District of Columbia provisional driver stay on the road?
- A 11:59 p.m.
- B 9:00 p.m., same as the learner permit
- C 10:59 p.m. every night
- D Sunrise only
Correct answer: A. Provisional drivers may drive from 6:00 a.m. until 10:59 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:59 p.m. Friday and Saturday during September through June, and until 11:59 p.m. daily in July and August. Memorizing only the weeknight cutoff misses weekend and summer items.
33. After six failures within 12 months, when may a District of Columbia applicant take a seventh knowledge test?
- A Not until 12 months after the first failure
- B The next week
- C After 60 days
- D Immediately if they pay again
Correct answer: A. A fail waits three full calendar days; you may return on the fourth day and pay the fee each attempt. Six failures in 12 months block a seventh test until 12 months after the first failure. Cheating, including smart devices, fails the test and blocks retesting for 60 days.
34. At 17, after six months on a District of Columbia provisional license and 10 certified night hours, what passenger cap applies to a full license with conditions?
- A Two passengers under 21, siblings excluded
- B None until 18
- C One friend forever
- D Any number after 10:59 p.m.
Correct answer: A. At 17, after six months on a provisional license and 10 certified night hours, you can move to a full license with conditions that caps passengers under 21 at two (siblings excluded). Driving-hour and passenger limits end at 18.
35. How close to a fire hydrant may you legally park in the District of Columbia?
- A No closer than 10 feet
- B No closer than 15 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia parking rules in 18 DCMR § 2405.2 forbid parking within ten feet of a fire hydrant. That violation does not need a posted sign. Ten is the hydrant number, not the 15-foot figure used in many states.
36. How close to a District of Columbia fire-station driveway may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet
- B 10 feet, same as a hydrant
- C 50 feet
- D You may block the driveway after 9 p.m.
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2405.2 forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway entrance in the District of Columbia. The extra clearance lets apparatus leave without swinging around a parked car. Twenty is the firehouse number; ten is the hydrant number.
37. How close to a District of Columbia railroad crossing may you park?
- A No closer than 50 feet
- B 10 feet
- C 20 feet
- D On unused rails if no train is due
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2405.2 forbids parking within 50 feet of a railroad crossing in the District of Columbia. Fifty is the rail number. Mixing it with the 10-foot hydrant rule is how testers catch people who memorize only one figure.
38. How close to the approach side of a District of Columbia STOP or YIELD sign may you park?
- A No closer than 25 feet
- B 10 feet
- C 50 feet
- D Against the sign if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2405.2 forbids parking within 25 feet of the approach side of any STOP or YIELD sign at the side of a District of Columbia roadway. That keeps the sign visible to following drivers. Twenty-five is the sign number; ten is the hydrant number.
39. A District of Columbia school bus or multi-purpose school vehicle has a warning light flashing or a stop arm out. How far away must you stop?
- A A complete stop not less than 15 feet away, from any direction, unless you approach from the opposite direction on a street with a median strip divider
- B A car length only if you are behind the bus
- C 50 feet on every DC street, including across a median
- D You may pass if children look seated
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2209 requires a driver approaching from any direction to bring the vehicle to a complete stop not less than 15 feet from a District of Columbia school bus or multi-purpose school vehicle with a flashing warning light or actuated stop signal arm. The requirement does not apply when approaching from the opposite direction on a street with a median strip divider. Do not proceed until the lights stop and the arm is retracted.
40. After you stop for a District of Columbia school bus with lights flashing, when may you go?
- A Only after the warning lights are no longer flashing and the stop signal arm is no longer actuated
- B As soon as the first child reaches the curb
- C After three seconds, even if the arm is still out
- D When the driver behind you honks
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2209.2 says a District of Columbia driver who has stopped for a school bus or multi-purpose school vehicle shall not proceed until the warning lights are no longer flashing and the stop signal arm is no longer actuated. Leaving early is how children in the roadway get hit.
41. A District of Columbia driver approaches a blind pedestrian carrying a predominantly white or metallic cane, with or without a red tip, or a pedestrian using a dog guide. What does District law require?
- A Take all necessary precautions to avoid injury to that pedestrian
- B Tap the horn and keep the same speed
- C Pass within two feet
- D Stop only if a crossing guard is present
Correct answer: A. D.C. Code § 7-1004 says a District of Columbia driver approaching a blind pedestrian carrying a cane that is predominantly white or metallic (with or without a red tip), or a deaf pedestrian using a dog guide, shall take all necessary precautions to avoid injury. Failure can mean liability for damages.
42. A District of Columbia traffic signal shows a steady red arrow for your movement. After you stop, when may you go that way?
- A Only when a green arrow or flashing yellow arrow is shown
- B After a rolling pause if the way looks empty
- C Anytime a circular red is also lit
- D When the car behind you honks
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2103.8 says vehicular traffic facing a steady red arrow and destined to proceed in that direction shall stop before the crosswalk or intersection and remain standing until a green arrow or flashing yellow arrow is shown. It is not a “turn when clear” circular-red exception.
43. A pedestrian is in a marked District of Columbia crosswalk, or in an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, in your lane or the lane you are turning into. What must you do?
- A Stop and remain stopped to allow the pedestrian to cross
- B Wave them across while you keep rolling
- C Honk so they hurry
- D Pass if your light is green and they are in the next lane
Correct answer: A. D.C. Code § 50-2201.28 requires a District of Columbia driver to stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross within any marked crosswalk, or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, when the pedestrian is upon the lane — or within one lane approaching the lane — on which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning.
44. A District of Columbia traffic signal shows a flashing yellow arrow after you have been held by a red arrow. What may you do?
- A Make the movement the arrow shows after yielding; the flashing yellow arrow is one of the displays that releases a red-arrow stop
- B Turn immediately with no yield
- C Wait for a circular green only
- D Treat the flash as another red arrow
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2103.8 already requires a District of Columbia driver facing a steady red arrow to remain stopped until a green arrow or a flashing yellow arrow permits the movement. The flash is permissive: yield, then go that way. It is not a protected green arrow.
45. A District of Columbia police officer, police cadet, or civilian crossing guard with traffic authority is giving a lawful direction that conflicts with a nearby signal. What must you do?
- A Comply; the lawful order controls pedestrians and vehicle operators
- B Follow only the green lens
- C Ask the car beside you
- D U-turn from the stop line
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2000.2 says no person shall fail or refuse to comply with any lawful order or direction of a police officer, police cadet, or civilian crossing guard invested with authority to direct traffic. The rule applies to pedestrians and to vehicle operators. A hand signal to stop at a green light still means stop.
46. A vehicle is already stopped at a marked District of Columbia crosswalk at an unsignalized intersection. May you pass it in the next lane?
- A No; stop and give the right-of-way so pedestrians and bicyclists stay visible
- B Yes, if your District of Columbia light would have been green
- C Yes, after a two-second pause
- D Only taxis may pass in the District of Columbia
Correct answer: A. District of Columbia law says that when a vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk at an unsignalized intersection, a vehicle approaching in an adjacent lane or from behind must stop and give the right-of-way before passing. The stopped car hides people in the crosswalk. Testers treat this like a simple lane change. In the District of Columbia it is a hard stop.
47. A funeral or other authorized procession is moving on a District of Columbia street. What must a driver not do?
- A No driver of a vehicle shall drive between the vehicles comprising a funeral or other authorized procession while they are in motion and when the vehicles are conspicuously designated as required by this chapter
- B Yielding if a District of Columbia officer is present
- C Staying out of the gap until they pass
- D Waiting at the curb
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2218.2 on dcregs.dc.gov says no driver of a vehicle shall drive between the vehicles comprising a funeral or other authorized procession while they are in motion and when the vehicles are conspicuously designated as required by this chapter.
48. How much space must a District of Columbia driver leave when overtaking and passing a bicycle?
- A A safe distance, but in no case less than 3 feet
- B A District mirror’s width if you tap the horn
- C One foot in a 10-foot downtown lane
- D No extra space if you stay under 20 mph
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2202.10 requires a District of Columbia driver to exercise due care by leaving a safe distance, but in no case less than 3 feet, when overtaking and passing a bicycle. Most District travel lanes are only 10 to 12 feet wide, so that often means changing lanes. Testers invent a 4-foot District number copied from New Jersey. Three feet is the District floor.
49. A District of Columbia signal is green, but traffic is stacked on the far side of the intersection. When may you enter?
- A Only if your vehicle can completely clear the intersection or marked crosswalk without blocking other District of Columbia vehicles or pedestrians
- B Anytime the District of Columbia lens is green
- C After you nose into the District of Columbia box so the sensor holds the light
- D Only trucks must wait for a District of Columbia gap
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2201.11 says no District of Columbia driver shall enter an intersection or marked crosswalk unless the vehicle can completely clear it without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians, even if a signal says proceed. You also may not enter to turn unless the roadway you are joining has room. Testers treat a green District of Columbia light as a right to sit in the box. Clearing the crossing is the rule.
50. A District of Columbia streetcar has stopped, or is about to stop, to take on or let off passengers. If you overtake it on the right, how far back must you stop?
- A At least five feet behind the streetcar door, and stay there until every passenger is aboard or in a place of safety
- B A District of Columbia mirror’s width from the rail
- C Fifteen feet, the usual hydrant guess
- D Against the District of Columbia door if your hazards are on
Correct answer: A. 18 DCMR § 2211.4 says a District of Columbia driver overtaking on the right of a streetcar that is stopped or about to stop for passengers shall stop at least five feet to the rear of the door and remain standing until all passengers have boarded or, after alighting, have reached a place of safety. Testers invent a 15-foot hydrant number here. Five feet from the door is the streetcar buffer.
51. Signs and pavement markings identify a District of Columbia center lane for two-way left turns. How may you use that lane?
- A Only for a District of Columbia left turn; it shall not be used for overtaking or passing
