Sample 1 · Utah rule
Utah: you and a car on your right stop at a four-way stop at the same moment. Who goes first?
- You — you are on the left
- The car on your right
- Whoever is turning left
- Whoever honks first
Show answer
The car on your right. When two drivers arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.

Sample 2 · Utah rule
Utah: an ambulance with its siren on and lights flashing is coming up behind you. What must you do?
- Keep going at the same speed so it can predict you
- Drive to the right edge of the road and stop until it has passed — but not inside an intersection
- Stop immediately where you are, even in the intersection
- Speed up to stay ahead of it
Show answer
Drive to the right edge of the road and stop until it has passed — but not inside an intersection. Yield by pulling as far right as you safely can and stopping until the emergency vehicle has passed. Clear the intersection first rather than stopping inside it.

Sample 3 · National standard
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.
