Sample questions
Think of your answer first, then open the explanation.
A. Use it only to report an emergency
Massachusetts' Driver's Manual says drivers under 18 cannot use any mobile electronic device for any reason while driving, even hands-free; the only exception is reporting an emergency.
A. When it is across a divided highway with a barrier
Massachusetts requires all drivers to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights no matter which side of the road they are on; the only exception is a bus on the other side of a divided highway with a barrier.
A. Oncoming vehicles going straight or turning right
On a plain green light, a left-turning driver must yield to oncoming traffic going straight or turning right, and to pedestrians.
