Sample question from test 8
safe-driving
According to the Massachusetts manual, should a driver assume they automatically have the right of way?
- Yes, on any road with a posted speed limit
- No, the driver must always give the right of way to an animal being led, ridden, or driven, among others
- Yes, when driving the larger vehicle
- Yes, when traveling straight
Answer: No, the driver must always give the right of way to an animal being led, ridden, or driven, among others. Right of way is something you give, not something you take, and the manual lists situations where you must yield even when you might expect priority. One example is any animal that someone is leading, riding or driving: you always give it the right of way. Posted limits, vehicle size and going straight do not confer priority. Slow near horses and livestock, do not honk, and pass only when the animal is calm and the road is clear.
