  1. Q1. If you miss your exit on an Illinois expressway, you should:

    Correct answer: Continue to the next exit and adjust your route

    Why: Stopping, backing up, or turning around on a high-speed road is extremely dangerous and illegal. Go to the next exit instead.

  2. Q2. If a police officer directs you to do something that conflicts with a traffic signal, you must:

    Correct answer: Follow the officer’s directions

    Why: Lawful orders from a police officer override traffic signals and signs. You must follow the officer.

  3. Q3. Double parking—parking on the roadway side of a vehicle already parked at the curb—is:

    Correct answer: Illegal because it blocks traffic

    Why: Double parking blocks lanes and creates hazards, so it is not allowed.

  4. Q4. You may not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant in Illinois?

    Correct answer: 15 feet

    Why: Leaving at least 15 feet of space around a hydrant helps firefighters connect hoses quickly in an emergency.

  5. Q5. You may not park within how many feet of a STOP sign in Illinois?

    Correct answer: 30 feet

    Why: Parking too close to a STOP sign can block the view of the sign for other drivers.

  6. Q6. When parking uphill on a street with a curb, you should:

    Correct answer: Turn your front wheels away from the curb

    Why: Turning the wheels away from the curb helps prevent the car from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail.

  7. Q7. When parking downhill with a curb, you should:

    Correct answer: Turn your front wheels toward the curb

    Why: Turning the wheels toward the curb helps keep the vehicle from rolling into traffic.

  8. Q8. If one of your tires suddenly blows out while you are driving, you should:

    Correct answer: Hold the steering wheel firmly, ease off the gas, and let the vehicle slow down

    Why: A blowout can cause a loss of control. Steady steering and gentle slowing help you stay in your lane.

  9. Q9. When driving on icy or snowy roads, you should:

    Correct answer: Reduce your speed and increase your following distance

    Correct answer: Take your foot off the gas and steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go

    Why: Steering gently in the direction of the skid and easing off the gas helps you regain control.

    Correct answer: Liability insurance that meets state minimum coverage
