Sample question from test 2
safe-driving
How should a Maine driver use right of way rules when another road user may not act as expected?
- Use the right of way sensibly and never insist on it
- Accelerate to force the other driver to yield
- Assume the legal priority guarantees safety
- Stop in every intersection even when traffic is clear
Answer: Use the right of way sensibly and never insist on it. Maine's guidance says a driver with the right of way should use it sensibly and never insist on it. Legal priority does not protect a driver from another person's mistake, so accelerating to force compliance or assuming safety is guaranteed can create a crash. Stopping in every intersection is not the stated solution either. The practical cue is defensive awareness: check the actual situation, look for what other road users are doing, and preserve a safe escape option even when priority appears clear.
