Minnesota DVS Permit: Safety & Hazards Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is The bicycle, because it arrived first.

In Minnesota, bicycles are legal vehicles, and bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as operators of other vehicles. At an uncontrolled intersection (one without signs or signals), the vehicle that arrives first has the right-of-way, whether it's a car or a bicycle.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

For a third DWI offense in ten years, your driver's license will be canceled for three years, your vehicle's license plates will be impounded, an ignition interlock device will be installed on your vehicle for three years, your vehicle may be forfeited, and you will pay a fine of $3,000 and/or go to jail for one year. The ignition interlock device will prevent your vehicle from starting if it detects that your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.02% or above. (An average 180-pound man will reach a BAC of 0.03% by consuming one shot of 80-proof liquor, one 12-ounce can of beer, or five ounces of wine before his body starts to break down the alcohol.)

If you plan to consume alcohol, also plan to use public transportation, a taxi, or a designated driver to get home.

Not quite. The answer is in open country without other vehicles nearby.

Use high beams when driving in open country without other vehicles nearby. However, even high beams don't let you see as far at night as you can in the daytime. Therefore, you should still drive slower at night.

Not quite. The answer is 3

Your driver's license will be revoked if you plead guilty to three violations in a single year, each of which results in a jail sentence.

Not quite. The answer is the vehicle cannot travel faster than 30 mph.

A triangular orange emblem on the rear of a vehicle identifies it as a slow-moving vehicle, which Minnesota defines as a vehicle that cannot exceed 30 mph. Such vehicles include horse-drawn vehicles and certain farm equipment. Don't get impatient if you end up behind one of these vehicles. The driver will usually try to pull over to the side whenever possible to prevent traffic backups.

Not quite. The answer is report the incident to the police.

If your vehicle hits a parked vehicle or other property, leave a note with your name, address, and phone number and securely attach it to the vehicle or property you hit. Notify the police and submit all required accident reports.

Not quite. The answer is three years and one day.

In Minnesota, using a motor vehicle to flee a police officer on official duty is a felony. The penalty is imprisonment for not more than three years and one day, a fine of not more than $5,000, or both.

Not quite. The answer is seat belt

Seat belts have been proven to save lives in crashes. In a crash, a seat belt can prevent serious injuries to the head and body.

To regain your driving privileges after the period of revocation has ended, you'll have to pay a license reinstatement fee and apply for a new license.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Fatigue can affect your driving by impairing your judgement, slowing your reaction times and decreasing your awareness of your surroundings.

Not quite. The answer is 0.08%

If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher, you are considered legally intoxicated. However, alcohol affects everyone differently. Even with a BAC as low as 0.04%, you can be charged with DWI if a police officer observes that your driving has become impaired.

Not quite. The answer is Serving time in jail for a non-driving-related violation

Your driver's license may be canceled if you don't have a legal right to have a license. This can be the case if you falsified your application for the license, are so disabled that you can't drive safely, or failed a road test that was requested by the Department of Public Safety to determine if you could drive safely.
