1. 1. An Ohio applicant passes the vision screening while wearing glasses. What follows for driving after licensure?

   1. Glasses are needed only for night driving
   2. The license shows no restriction if the test was passed
   3. The Driver License will indicate a vision restriction and corrective lenses must always be worn when driving
   4. Contacts may replace glasses only after one year
   Show answer

   The Driver License will indicate a vision restriction and corrective lenses must always be worn when driving. If you complete the vision screening with corrective lenses, the Driver License will indicate a vision restriction, and you must always wear corrective lenses when driving. The restriction is not limited to nighttime driving. Consider "Glasses are needed only for night driving": The restriction applies to all driving, not only after dark. Consider "The license shows no restriction if the test was passed": Passing with lenses still produces a restriction on the license.

    1. Speed-sensitive steering
    2. Heated seats
    3. Anti-lock brakes

17. 17. During the Ohio maneuverability test, which actions cost points without causing immediate failure?

    1. Running over a marker and knocking a marker down
    2. Arriving with a dirty windshield
    3. Refusing to wear a safety belt
    4. Stopping, bumping markers, misjudging stopping distance, or not being parallel with the test area
    Show answer

    Stopping, bumping markers, misjudging stopping distance, or not being parallel with the test area. Points come off for stopping mid course, bumping markers, misjudging stopping distance, or finishing out of parallel with the test area. Running over or knocking down a marker ends the attempt as an immediate failure, a harsher outcome than lost points. Belt refusal and dirty glass never appear in this scoring list, however unwise they look. Picture two tiers: sloppy touches cost points, while crushing or removing a marker stops everything on the spot.
