Arizona Defensive Driving Test
questions and answers rated A+
Arizona law 28-701 sets the speed limit in a business or residential district at 25 mph. AZ law 28-
702.04 sets the speed limit on the interstate in urbanized areas (pop. of 55,000 or greater) 65
mph. In non-urbanized areas, the interstate speed limit is 75 mph. The speed limit may be lower
in certain metropolitan areas. AZ law sets the maximum speed limit in a school zone at 15 mph.
Arizona as well as many other states, requires drivers to always drive at a safe, reasonable and
prudent speed. This means the driver of a motor vehicle may be required to drive at a speed
lower than the posted limit. This applies when the roadway is slippery, visibility is poor, or traffic
conditions are such that it is unsafe to drive at the posted speed limit. This also includes
pedestrian traffic. For example, a driver may be cited for driving the posted speed limit when it
is not safe to do so. - correct answer ✔✔What are the speed limits under Arizona Motor Vehicle
Laws?
Always look for oncoming traffic. Use good defensive driving techniques to anticipate red light
runners. Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcycles that may have entered the
intersection. If starting out from a stopped position hesitate a couple of seconds before
accelerating to give additional time for the intersection to clear. Someone behind you may honk
their vehicles horn, but better to be honked at than dead. - correct answer ✔✔What
precautions should you take when entering an intersection on a green light?
Under AZ law 28-601, an intersection means the area embraced within the prolongation or
connection of the lateral curb lines, or if none, the lateral boundary lines of the roadways of two
highways that join one another at, or approximately at, right angles, or the area within which
vehicles traveling on different highways joining at any other angle may come in conflict. If a
highway includes two roadways thirty or more feet apart, each crossing of each road of the
divided highway by an intersecting highway is a separate intersection. If the intersecting
highway also includes two roadways thirty or more feet apart, each crossing of two roadways of
the highways is a separate intersection. - correct answer ✔✔What is an intersection?
, Speeding, DUI, failure to yield the right of way, and failure to reduce speed or control speed.
Remember that speeding is responsible for approximately 30 percent of all the fatal collision in
the United States. 38 percent of the fatalities are due to impaired driving and that the majority
of collisions occur at intersection as a result of someone usually failing to yield the right-of-way.
- correct answer ✔✔What traffic law violations are primarily associated with traffic collisions?
As drivers, we are distracted by many things that have nothing to do with driving. Things like
eating, grooming, listening to the radio, or cassette or CD, looking at billboards, reading, and
even sex can distract drivers. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report indicates
that the majority of collisions in the United States are due to driver distraction. The same report
reveals that driver error is responsible in 99 percent of all collisions. - correct answer ✔✔Is
attention frequently associated with traffic collisions?
AZ law 28-792 states pedestrians who are walking across streets have the right of way over
motor vehicles if they are walking lawfully within any marked or unmarked crosswalk. AZ law
28-794 states that blind pedestrians always have the right of way. AZ law 28-796 states that
where sidewalks are not provided, any pedestrian walking along and upon a highway shall walk
only on the left side of the road or its shoulder, facing traffic that may approach from the
opposite direction. Pedestrians should also remember to wear light clothing. Reflective self-
adhesive strips that can be added to clothing or portable flashing lights attached to clothing can
assist motorists in helping to see pedestrians. - correct answer ✔✔A pedestrian usually has the
right of way. True or false?
AZ law 28-701 makes it a violation to pass a vehicle that is traveling the posted speed limit in a
school zone. It is also a violation to pass the front of another vehicle in a school zone even if the
other vehicle is traveling below the posted speed limit. This is why it is very important to give
yourself additional travel time so you do not feel rushed and more apt to violate the law. -
correct answer ✔✔Is it OK to pass a car going less than 15 mph in a school zone?
Arizona has varied climates that produce adverse road conditions that affect driving. Summer
winds pick up dry, loose dirt particles and form dust storms. The reddish-brown cloud will, at
times, limit a driver's visibility to zero. Drivers may panic and stop their vehicle in the traffic
lane, causing a rear-end collision. If you encounter a dust storm, immediately reduce the speed
of your vehicle and drive carefully off the highway. Stop your vehicle as near to the right-of-way
