On the test
Who has the right-of-way when you meet an animal someone is leading or riding?
The animal. A spooked horse can throw its rider into the road in front of you. Montana Driver Manual, p.67: “Always give the right-of-way to an animal that someone is leading, riding, or driving.”
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.
