Topic 3 · Rules of the Road: Traffic Laws in California
If you are towing a trailer on a California highway, you must:
- Stay in the rightmost lane and not exceed 55 mph — correct answer
- Drive at the speed of other traffic
- Drive in any lane
Why
Vehicles towing a trailer are limited to 55 mph and must use the far-right lane or a lane marked for slower vehicles. Where there are four or more lanes in your direction, you may use the two lanes closest to the right edge. (Handbook, Sections 6 and 8.)
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
