Which of the following statements about blind spots is true?
A) Large trucks have smaller blind spots than most passenger vehicles.
B) Large trucks have bigger blind spots than most passenger vehicles.
C) Large trucks do not have blind spots.
D) Blind spots are only an issue for motorcycles.
Correct Answer: B) Large trucks have bigger blind spots than most
passenger vehicles.
Rationale
Large commercial trucks and buses have significantly larger blind spots
(also known as "no-zones") than passenger vehicles. These blind spots
exist on both sides, directly behind, and in front of large vehicles.
Because of their size, truck drivers cannot see vehicles in these zones,
which can lead to serious collisions if drivers linger in these areas.
Passenger vehicles have smaller blind spots, but they still exist.
Motorcycles also have blind spots, but they are not the primary concern
in this context. The nurse should also be aware that staying out of a
truck's blind spots is a critical safety measure when sharing the road
with large vehicles.

,You have been involved in a minor traffic collision with a parked vehicle
and you cannot find the owner. You must:
A) Leave a note on the vehicle.
B) Leave a note on the vehicle and report the accident without delay to
the city police or, in unincorporated areas, to the CHP.
C) Drive away immediately.
D) Only report the accident if there is damage over $750.
Correct Answer: B) Leave a note on the vehicle and report the accident
without delay to the city police or, in unincorporated areas, to the CHP.
Rationale
If you hit a parked vehicle and cannot locate the owner, California law
requires you to leave a note with your contact information and the
circumstances of the accident on the vehicle. Additionally, you must
report the accident without delay to the city police or, in
unincorporated areas, to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Simply
leaving a note (A) is insufficient; reporting is also required. Driving away
(C) is a hit-and-run, which is illegal and can result in serious penalties.
Reporting only if damage exceeds $750 (D) is not correct; you are
required to report the accident regardless of the damage amount. The
nurse should also be aware of the legal requirements for reporting
traffic collisions.

Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in a residential district is:
A) 15 mph
B) 20 mph
,C) 25 mph
D) 30 mph
Correct Answer: C) 25 mph
Rationale
Under California law, unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in
residential and business districts is 25 miles per hour. This speed limit is
designed to protect pedestrians, children, and other vulnerable road
users in areas where people live, work, and shop. Speed limits of 15
mph (A) are applicable in alleys and near blind intersections. A speed
limit of 20 mph (B) is not a standard default speed limit in California. A
speed limit of 30 mph (D) is common on some arterial roads but is not
the default in residential areas. The nurse should also be aware that
school zones have a speed limit of 25 mph when children are present.

You may legally block an intersection:
A) If you are turning left.
B) If you are waiting to make a right turn.
C) Under no circumstances.
D) If the light is green.
Correct Answer: C) Under no circumstances.
Rationale
Blocking an intersection is illegal under all circumstances in California.
Even if you have a green light, you must not enter the intersection if
traffic is stopped and you cannot clear the intersection before the light
changes. Blocking an intersection can cause gridlock, increase the risk of
collisions, and result in a traffic citation. Turning left (A) or right (B) does
, not permit blocking the intersection. Having a green light (D) does not
give you the right to block the intersection; you must still ensure you
can clear it. The nurse should also be aware that blocking an
intersection is a common violation that can lead to accidents and
citations.

When parking uphill on a two-way street with no curb, your front
wheels should be:
A) Turned to the left (toward the center of the road).
B) Turned to the right (away from the street).
C) Turned straight ahead.
D) Turned to the left or right depending on the slope.
Correct Answer: B) Turned to the right (away from the street).
Rationale
When parking uphill on a two-way street with no curb, your front
wheels should be turned to the right (away from the street). This is
because if the vehicle rolls backward, it will roll away from traffic,
reducing the risk of a collision. If there is a curb, the wheels should be
turned away from the curb when facing uphill. If parking downhill, the
wheels should be turned toward the curb. Turning the wheels to the left
(A) would direct the vehicle into traffic if it rolled. Turning straight ahead
(C) is not correct. The nurse should also be aware that proper wheel
positioning is essential for preventing rollaways.
