26. Drivers may pass on a two-lane roadway marked with a single solid yellow line on their side of the centerline.
Explanation
When there is a solid and a broken yellow line separating two lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions, a driver may pass only when the broken yellow line is nearest to the driver’s lane.
27. What should you do when you see this sign?
Explanation

28. Distracted drivers are at a greater risk of a crash when they are using which of the following?
Explanation
Using a cell phone (including a hands-free phone) or any kind of audio device (including a radio or CD player) can be a dangerous distraction and contributes to the risk of a crash.
29. You may text while driving:
Explanation
Texting while driving in Rhode Island is prohibited. Using a cellular telephone while driving is a major distraction to the operator of a motor vehicle.
30. While driving on a two-lane road without bicycle lanes, you encounter a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. What is the safest way to pass the bicyclist?
Explanation
You should pass a bicyclist the same way you would pass any other vehicle, but not so fast or close to them that you throw debris in their face or blow them around with the draft of air from your vehicle. Allow at least 3 feet of space between your side mirror and the bicyclist, or at least 5 feet on higher speed roads or when there is a group of bicyclists. Honking unnecessarily may startle riders and make them more likely to crash.
