Why Rules of the Road Trip Up New Drivers
Most of G1 test takers fail because they misunderstand these key concepts:
- Speed Limits (School zones, highways, residential areas)
- Right-of-Way Rules (4-way stops, emergency vehicles, changing lanes)
- Parking Regulations (No parking zone vs. specific parking spots or no stopping zones)
- Traffic Signals & Lane Usage (Flashing lights, HOV lanes)
- Merging and left turns
