Why? Because some questions test tiny details. I've compiled the top 10 trick questions reported by students over the past year. See if you've fallen for them. ### Top 3 Most Missed 1. School Bus Stopping Rules: You're on the opposite side of the road and see a school bus with flashing red lights. Do you stop? * Trap: If there is no physical barrier (like a concrete median) between you and the bus, you must stop! Many people think they don't need to stop because they're across the road, and they fail immediately.

1. Merging into a Bike Lane: How many feet before a turn can you enter a bike lane? * Trap: 200 feet! Many remember it as 100 or 50. This is a key point in bicycle-lane-precautions.
2. Meaning of a Flashing Red Light: What is it equivalent to? * Trap: It is equivalent to a Stop Sign. You must come to a complete stop, look, and then proceed. Many think it's like a yellow light and just slow down. ### Confusing Number Questions * Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC): For ages 21 and over, it's 0.08%. Remember, it's zero point zero eight, not zero point eight!

• Curb Parking Distance: You cannot park more than 18 inches from the curb (parking-rules).
• Accident Reporting Time: If an accident causes injury, death, or property damage over $1,000, you must file an SR-1 report with the DMV within 10 days. > Instructor's Tip: When answering questions, if you see extreme words like 'Always' or 'Never,' they are usually wrong. California traffic laws are often 'situational.' Except for the absolute right-of-way for pedestrians, most rules have conditions. ### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Will missed questions reappear on the retest?

A: Rarely. If you fail the first time, the retest questions are randomly shuffled, but core topics (like speed-limits) will likely be tested in a different way. Q: Will missing too many sign questions cause failure?

A: The written test is scored overall. But sign questions are usually easy points. If you miss many sign questions, it means your review of road-signs is completely insufficient. Q: Are there any 'guaranteed' questions?

A: Whenever you see questions about yielding to pedestrians or yielding to emergency vehicles (ambulances, police cars), always choose the option that gives them the most space and pulls over to the side.
