Intersections blocked view — Maine Permit Test

Intersections blocked view on the Maine permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

Do not turn into a lane just because an oncoming vehicle has its turn signal on; the driver may turn after passing you or may have forgotten the signal.

A blinker left on by mistake has led many drivers to pull out in front of a car going straight.

Do not turn into a lane just because an oncoming vehicle has a turn signal on.

Maine Driver’s License Manual, p.62

If buildings, trees, a fence or parked cars block your view of a cross street, edge forward slowly until you can see.

Pulling out blind past a row of parked cars puts your car in a lane you cannot see.

If your view of a cross street is blocked by buildings, trees, a fence or a row of parked cars, edge forward slowly until you can see.

Maine Driver’s License Manual, p.62

If a line of cars in one lane blocks your view of another lane, wait until the cars pass rather than edging your car into that lane.

Nosing into a lane you cannot see puts your front bumper in the path of a car you never saw.

If a line of cars in one lane is blocking your view of another lane, wait until the cars pass.

On the test

An oncoming car has its turn signal on. What should you do?

Wait to see that it really turns. A blinker left on by mistake has led many drivers to pull out in front of a car going straight. Maine Driver’s License Manual, p.62: “Do not turn into a lane just because an oncoming vehicle has a turn signal on.”

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.
