C: 16. To obtain a Connecticut learner's permit you must be at least 16 years of age. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Obtaining a Learner's Permit: First Time Drivers, page 7.

D: More than 40 percent. The manual states alcohol is involved in more than 40 percent of fatal traffic crashes. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Drinking and Driving, page 35.

D: Left between 8 and 10 o'clock, right between 2 and 4 o'clock. Place your hands on opposite sides of the wheel: left hand between 8 and 10 o'clock and right hand between 2 and 4 o'clock. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Steering, page 16.

D: 3 feet. When approaching or passing a bicyclist, slow down and pass only when you can give a minimum of three feet between your vehicle and the bicycle. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Bicyclists: As a driver, page 19.

A: The vehicle on the left. Where there is no stop sign, yield sign or signal, drivers must yield to vehicles coming from the right. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Right-of-Way, page 38.

D: Stop. The octagon shape always means stop; come to a complete stop at the sign, stop line, crosswalk or curb. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Traffic Signs: Shapes, page 48.

B: The same as a stop sign: stop fully, then go when safe. A flashing red light means the same as a stop sign: come to a full stop and proceed when safe. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Flashing Lights, page 47.

C: Yes, if you are going too fast for road conditions. Speed limits are posted for ideal conditions; even at the posted limit you can be ticketed for traveling too fast for conditions. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Speed Limits, page 38.

D: Count from when the car ahead passes a fixed point until you reach it; if under three seconds, you're too close. Watch the rear of the vehicle ahead pass a fixed point and count; if you reach it before 'three-one-thousand,' you are following too closely. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Space Ahead, page 23.

D: The lane closest to the one you came from. Turn from the lane closest to the direction you want to go and into the lane closest to the one you came from, crossing the fewest lanes. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Turning, page 25.

B: Pump the brake pedal several times. Pump the brake pedal several times; this often builds enough pressure to stop. If not, use the parking brake slowly, then shift to lower gears. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Equipment Failure: Brake Failure, page 41.

C: 25 questions, 20 correct. The knowledge test has 25 questions and you need 20 correct answers to pass. Connecticut Driver's Manual: The Knowledge Test, page 7.

A: The vehicle on the right. At a four-way stop, the first to arrive goes first; if more than one arrives at the same time, the vehicle on the right goes first. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Right-of-Way, page 38.

D: Slow down and yield the right-of-way, stopping if necessary. A yield sign means slow down to a reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to traffic you are crossing or entering; stop if necessary. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Traffic Signs: Shapes, page 48.

C: Slow down and proceed with caution. A flashing yellow light means slow down and proceed with caution. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Flashing Lights, page 47.

B: Over three times the distance. Stopping at 60 mph takes not twice but over three times the distance it takes at 30 mph. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Speed Limits: Speeding, page 38.

C: When following a motorcycle or on slippery roads. Use four seconds on slippery roads, behind motorcycles, behind trucks and buses, when towing, in low visibility, behind emergency vehicles and near railroad crossings. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Space Ahead: When to use the "four-second" rule, page 23.

D: The driver behind may think you are turning left and try to pass you on the right. If you swing wide, the driver behind may think you are changing lanes or turning left and try to pass on the right. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Turning: Right turns, page 26.

A: The center lane. On roads with three or more lanes each way, the middle lane is usually best for through traffic when many vehicles are entering and exiting. Connecticut Driver's Manual: Other Hints, page 22.
