Try again Read the Montana guide Question 1 of 20 In a school zone, you should drive: A At the posted speed limit B At the lower of the school-zone limit or what conditions allow C No faster than 35 mph D Only as fast as the car ahead of you Explanation.

Question 2 of 20 What should you do if your accelerator gets stuck while driving? A Turn off the engine immediately B Shift into neutral and brake to stop C Pump the brake and steer onto the shoulder D Turn the steering wheel sharply Explanation.

Question 3 of 20 What is the proper hand position on the steering wheel? A 12 and 6 o'clock B 10 and 2 o'clock C 9 and 3 o'clock D 8 and 4 o'clock Explanation.

Question 4 of 20 At a four-way stop where two cars arrive at the same time, who has the right of way? A The car going faster B The car on the right C The car on the left D The larger vehicle Explanation.

Question 11 of 20 You see a yellow diamond with a curved arrow. You should: A Stop completely before the curve B Reduce speed and prepare for the curve C Make a U-turn at the next opportunity D Continue at the posted speed limit Explanation.

Question 14 of 20 You may legally drive on the shoulder: A To bypass slow traffic B Only in an emergency or where authorized C When making a right turn D When a vehicle is following too closely Explanation. The shoulder is for emergencies and authorized vehicles. Driving on it to bypass traffic is illegal and a moving violation. Question 15 of 20 If you move to Montana from another state with a valid out-of-state license, you generally must: A Continue using your old license indefinitely B Transfer your license to a Montana license, usually within 30–60 days of establishing residency C Take a full road test again immediately D Surrender your license to the state police Explanation.

You should: A Continue through at normal speed B Treat it as a four-way stop C Wait for someone else to go first D Yield only to vehicles on the right Explanation.
