Question

Answer 1

Nothing. just go through. if the lights are flashing or bells are banging. stop

Answer 2

As soon as the gate goes down,STOP 15 ft before tracks,you'll see the hazzard lights while you approch the tracks,then slow to a complete stop,dont go over tracks until the hazzard lights are off and gate is lifted.

Answer 3

nick@night is right. If you don't know what to do at a rail crossing, I suggest you postpone your test until you do.

Answer 4

If the barriers are down and the lights are flashing, you should stop.

Answer 5

If the caution lights are flashing and the arms are down you should stop of course. But when approaching any railroad crossing,you should slow down, roll your window down, turn your radio down, no cell phone so you can here the trains whistle. Look both ways as you approach the crossing. Make sure no  train is coming and continue on. Remember this at railroad crossings when in doubt stop look and listen.Good luck on your test.

Answer 6

I'd take crimson rambler's advice VERY seriously if I was you.

Answer 7

You don't have to stop for them unless the lights are blinking and the arms are coming down on you. If you taking your test to drive school bus you have to stop but other than that do not stop for them. Remember that you have to stop before the crosswalk not on the crosswalk and remember to turn on your signal 300 feet before a turn. Oh and I almost forgot this one when I took my test many moons (15) years ago. When you get in the car first adjust the seat to your position, then put on your seat belt, then adjust your mirrors. Make sure that you put on your seat belt before you start the car. If you start the car before you put on the seatbelt it will be an automatic failure. Good luck and stay calm while taking the test.

Answer 8

If you don't know the answer, you are not ready for the test. I am not being funny or rude. This is a basic knowledge question for any driver.

Answer 9

Stop,look & listen.Like school busses do.

Think of this: Your average frieght train can easily weigh in excess of a MILLION pounds and take over a mile to come to a complete stop.

What's your average driver's ed car.....Maybe 2 tons?
