Farm vehicles, riders, joggers, children and disabled drivers
A 3-minute lesson from the West Virginia course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Roads are shared with tractors, horses, joggers, playing children and bus riders, and West Virginia reserves parking for people with limited mobility. Each calls for specific caution.
Know the rule
Slow-moving vehicles like farm or construction equipment must display a triangular Slow-Moving Vehicle emblem. Make sure you can pass safely before trying.
You don't have to stop for a public bus, but watch for passengers crossing as they get on and off, especially children, and use caution passing a loading bus.
Mobility-impaired spaces are for people whose condition limits walking, or those who routinely transport them. Parking there without a placard or plate is illegal.
About one (1) in 10 people has some disability. If a disability or medical problem may affect your driving, include an explanatory letter with your application.
You're passing a rider on horseback on a rural road. Slow down, give lots of room, and don't honk to announce yourself; a startled horse can throw its rider into your path.
