Minnesota DVS Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is left turns only.

A center turn lane may only be used to make a left turn, never to pass another vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is nearest to the right side of the road.

Maintain the same approximate speed as surrounding vehicles when possible. However, don't exceed the posted speed limits except momentarily when passing on a two-lane highway where the posted speed limit is 55 mph or higher. (Note: This exception exists in Minnesota but not necessarily in other states.) If you are driving at a slower speed than other traffic, stay in the lane nearest to the right side of the road.

Not quite. The answer is right

On a road with three or more lanes traveling in the same direction, stay in the right lane except to pass or make a left turn.

Not quite. The answer is you must go to either side.

This sign marks a traffic island or obstruction. You must go to either side of it.

Not quite. The answer is Do not walk.

This is a "Don't Walk" traffic signal, found at intersections. Pedestrians may not cross when this signal is on.

Not quite. The answer is the right lane.

Unless there are signs or signals indicating otherwise, you should start a right turn in the right lane and complete it in the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, but only after coming to a stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians.

You are allowed to turn right on a red signal unless there are signs prohibiting it. First, however, you must come to a complete stop and then yield to pedestrians and traffic.

Not quite. The answer is one block ahead.

When you drive in city traffic, you should try to look at least one block ahead. In the city, 10 seconds is about one block.

Not quite. The answer is Car A must yield because it is turning left.

When two cars arrive at an uncontrolled intersection or all-way stop at about the same time, the car on the left must yield to its right. If this rule does not apply, the car turning left must yield to oncoming traffic. Therefore, Car A must yield here.

Not quite. The answer is stay in your lane and not increase your speed.

If you are being passed by another vehicle, let the vehicle pass you safely. Stay in your lane and do not increase your speed.

Not quite. The answer is an acceleration lane

At the end of most entrance ramps on freeways, you will find an acceleration lane that lets you increase your speed to the speed of highway traffic before you merge.

Not quite. The answer is escape ramps

Escape ramps are located on many steep mountain grades. Escape ramps are built to stop runaway vehicles safely without injuring drivers or passengers. Escape ramps use a long bed of loose, soft material (pea gravel) to slow a runaway vehicle, sometimes in combination with an upgrade.

Not quite. The answer is nearest to the right side of the road.

Maintain the same approximate speed as surrounding vehicles when possible, but don't exceed the posted speed limits. If you are driving slower than other traffic, stay in the lane nearest to the right side of the road.

Not quite. The answer is Turn right and then make a U-turn.

Reduced conflict intersections are intended to reduce the number of collisions on four-lane divided highways. In a reduced conflict intersection, drivers always make a right turn, followed by a U-turn. Motorists approaching the divided highway from a side street are not allowed to make left turns or cross traffic; instead, they are required to turn right onto the highway and then make a U-turn at a designated median opening.

Not quite. The answer is Away from the curb

When you park facing uphill, you should point your wheels away from the curb and then roll back slowly so that the rear part of the right front wheel rests against the curb. If your brakes fail, the curb will block your car from rolling. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear.

Not quite. The answer is exercise their eyes

Highway hypnosis or dizziness when driving is caused by the monotony of road and traffic, the hum of wind, tires, and the sound of engine. Drivers can avoid highway hypnosis by constantly moving their eyes and watching the traffic and highway signs around them.

Not quite. The answer is turn right and merge into traffic

A roundabout is a one-way circular intersection in which traffic moves counterclockwise. To enter a roundabout, you must turn right and yield the right-of-way to vehicles that are already in the roundabout.

Not quite. The answer is you must not drive across the median or barrier except at an approved crossover.

When a highway is divided into two roadways by a median or barrier, you must not drive across the median or barrier except at an approved crossover.

Not quite. The answer is an acceleration lane

At the end of most entrance ramps on freeways, you will find an acceleration lane that lets you increase your speed to the speed of highway traffic before you merge.

Not quite. The answer is tailgating.

Keep a safe distance from other vehicles on the road to give you plenty of time to react to the unexpected. Tailgating refers to following too closely behind a vehicle.
