Blind spots and blocked views — Arizona Permit Test

Blind spots and blocked views on the Arizona permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

Blind spots are areas on the left and right sides of your vehicle that you cannot see in your mirrors.

A car sitting there is invisible in the mirror right up until you pull into it.

Blind spots are areas on the left and right sides of your vehicle that are not visible in your mirror.

When parked cars, bushes, trees or buildings block your view at an intersection, slowly inch forward until you have a clear view.

Pulling out blind puts your hood in the lane before you know what is coming.

In situations like these, slowly inch your vehicle forward until you have a clear view.

Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, p.26

Avoid driving in another driver’s blind spot: speed up or drop back, but never stay in it for an extended time.

The driver next to you cannot see you there, and will change lanes into you.

Speed up or drop back but never stay for an extended time in a blind spot area.

On the test

What is a blind spot?

An area beside your car not seen in the mirrors. A car sitting there is invisible in the mirror right up until you pull into it. Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, p.26: “Blind spots are areas on the left and right sides of your vehicle that are not visible in your mirror.”

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
