Arkansas DMV Permit: Safety & Hazards Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Time

Only time can remove alcohol from one's bloodstream. People mistakenly believe that coffee and fresh air may mask the effects of being drunk, such as drowsiness and slowed reactions, but they will not change the fact that you would be driving under the influence until enough time has passed after drinking.

Not quite. The answer is A consent form signed by his or her parent or legal guardian

According to the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, an underage applicant for a learner's license has to provide three items: original or Certified Copy of a BIRTH CERTIFICATE; signature of Parent or Legal Guardian §27-16-702; accepted secondary identification (Please check the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide for a full list of documents and alternative forms of identification). Effective July 24, 2019, the requirement for a copy of the DFA Notification Driver’s Attendance Form completed by the applicant's school was eliminated.

Not quite. The answer is A slow-moving vehicle

This emblem on the rear of a vehicle identifies it as a slow-moving vehicle, which usually means a vehicle that travels at speeds not exceeding 25 mph. Slow-moving vehicles include farm tractors, animal-drawn vehicles, and roadway maintenance vehicles. If you approach one of these vehicles, slow down and proceed with caution. Be patient; the driver may pull over to let you pass.

Not quite. The answer is A $2,000 fine and license revocation until he or she turns 21

The eighth edition of the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide is unclear about which penalties apply to a first offense of Underage DUI and which penalties apply to subsequent offenses. Here is what the law says: For a first offense, the penalties include a fine of $100 – $500 and license suspension for 90 days. For a second offense, the penalties include a fine of $200 – $1,000, community service for at least 30 days, and license suspension for one year. For a third offense, the penalties include a fine of $500 – $2,000, community service for at least 60 days, and license revocation (not suspension) for three years or until the driver turns 21, whichever takes longer. Note that the license suspensions and revocations are administrative penalties, not criminal penalties. They go into effect as soon as the driver is arrested and charged with Underage DUI.

Not quite. The answer is up to 20 feet in front of the cab, on either side of the tractor-trailer, and up to 200 feet behind the truck.

A tractor-trailer's No-Zones (blind spots) are located up to 20 feet in front of the cab, on either side of the tractor-trailer, and up to 200 feet behind the truck. If you are driving in one of these No-Zones, the truck driver won't be able to see you.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

If you are driving, check the label before you take a drug for warnings about its effect(s). If you are not sure whether it is safe to take the drug and drive, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any side effects. Drugs taken for headaches, colds, hay fever or other allergies, or those to calm nerves can make a person drowsy and can affect his or her driving. Other prescription drugs can affect your reflexes, judgment, vision, and alertness in ways similar to alcohol.

Not quite. The answer is buses only.

On various roadways, one or more lanes may be reserved for special vehicles. Reserved lanes are marked by signs stating that the lane is reserved for special use, and they often have a white diamond posted at the side of the road or painted on the pavement surface. "Transit" or "Buses" means that the lane is for bus use only.

Not quite. The answer is one

Your body can break down the alcohol in about one alcoholic drink per hour. Neither coffee nor exercise nor a cold shower can increase that rate.
