  1. Sample 1 · Missouri rule

    Missouri: you stop at a four-way stop. Two cars reach their stop signs a few seconds after you. Who should go first?

    • You, because you stopped first
    • The car on your right
    • The car going straight
    • The largest vehicle
    Show answer

    You, because you stopped first. At an all-way stop, drivers go in the order they arrived and stopped.

  2. Sample 2 · Missouri rule

    In Missouri, you must switch from high to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is within:

    • 200 feet
    • 300 feet
    • 500 feet
    • 800 feet
    Show answer

    500 feet. Missouri's handbook says 500 feet. Dimming early keeps you from blinding the oncoming driver.

  3. Sample 3 · National standard

    Red octagon STOP sign

    What does this sign require you to do? (Red octagon STOP sign)

    • Slow down and continue if no one is coming
    • Come to a full stop, then go only when it is safe
    • Stop only if other vehicles are at the intersection
    • Stop only when turning
    Show answer

    Come to a full stop, then go only when it is safe. An octagon is used for STOP and nothing else. It is placed where a full stop is always required, so you stop completely every time, then proceed only when you can do so safely.
