Minnesota Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is avoid the left lane position.

When another vehicle is passing you on the left, ride in the center lane position to keep away from the hazard. Riding in the right lane position could encourage the driver of that vehicle to move back into your lane too soon. Also, in the right lane position, you would have less room for error on your right side if you were hit by a blast of wind from the passing vehicle that affected your control.

Not quite. The answer is The indicated lane is for high-occupancy vehicles during specified times.

This white diamond sign indicates that the way is reserved for high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) during the specified times from Monday through Friday.

Not quite. The answer is dirt and gravel provide little traction.

Not quite. The answer is Flag person ahead

This work zone sign indicates a flagger (flag person) ahead. Flaggers are often located in highway or street work zones. They wear orange vests, shirts, or jackets and use red flags or STOP/SLOW paddles to guide traffic safely through these areas. You must follow the flagger's directions.

Not quite. The answer is No trucks are allowed on this road.

A red circle with a diagonal red slash means "no." The red slash over the truck indicates that trucks are not allowed on this road. Truck drivers must look for an alternate route.

Not quite. The answer is passing is allowed.

A single broken (dashed) yellow line may be found on a two-lane, two-way roadway. Vehicles on either side may pass if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is Being low on oil

If an engine locks, it is likely low on oil. Always check your oil before starting a trip. If needed, add oil as soon as possible or else the engine may seize.

Not quite. The answer is A speed zone is ahead; prepare to reduce your speed to 45 mph.

The larger sign tells you that a speed zone is ahead. The smaller sign indicates what the speed limit will be. In this case, the speed limit will decrease to 45 mph ahead. Prepare to slow down so you won't exceed that speed limit.

Not quite. The answer is A steep descent ahead; drivers may need to shift into a lower gear.

This sign warns that there is a steep descent ahead. Check your brakes before starting the descent. Use low gear to reduce wear on your brakes even if your vehicle has an automatic transmission.

Not quite. The answer is A car pulling out from the curb

When passing parked vehicles and if oncoming traffic is present, it is usually best to remain in the center portion of the lane to maximize the space around you. A bigger problem can occur if a driver pulls away from the curb without checking for traffic from behind. Even if the driver looks, he or she may fail to see you. In either event, the driver might enter your path. Slow down or change lanes to make room for someone to enter.

Not quite. The answer is food.

This is a guide sign. This sign indicates the availability of food.

Not quite. The answer is You are 444 miles from the state line or the end of this road.

Mileposts are located at regular intervals so that drivers will always be in sight of one.

The number on the milepost usually indicates the distance in miles to the state line or the end of the road.
