Topic 1 · Introduction
Your vision as a driver must let you:
- Notice hazards in different lighting, judge distances, adjust to traffic speed and read signs — correct answer
- See at least 500 feet in complete darkness
- Read a license plate at 100 feet
Why
That is the handbook's description of what your vision has to do behind the wheel. (Section 5, Vision.)
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.
