Missouri DOR Permit: Emergencies Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Cutting off or swerving in front of other vehicles are signs of road rage. Sounding the horn excessively, forcing a car off the road, and tailgating are also associated with road rage.

Not quite. The answer is low-beam headlights.

Normally, high beams help you see farther ahead, but they can reflect off precipitation, causing glare. Use low beams in fog, rain, or snow. However, if fog becomes so dense that visibility is reduced to near zero, you should pull off the road entirely and wait for the fog to partially lift. Remember: If you can't see, you can't drive.

Not quite. The answer is Pre-loosening the lid of your coffee cup

Before starting your trip, you should set up your cab just as you like it, but eating and drinking should be done at rest stops.

Not quite. The answer is move into a non-adjacent lane if possible; otherwise, slow down.

According to Missouri's revised Move Over Law, effective August 28, 2017: When passing a stopped emergency vehicle displaying lighted red or red and blue lights, proceed with caution. Move into a non-adjacent lane if possible, leaving at least one lane between you and the emergency vehicle. If this is unsafe or impossible (for example, if there is only one lane in your direction), slow down instead.

Not quite. The answer is stop and yield the right-of-way.

You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at intersections or in crosswalks.

Not quite. The answer is hydroplaning.

On a wet road, at speeds of up to 35 mph, modern tires will usually channel water away to maintain contact with the road. However, in deep water at higher speeds, the channeling action of the tires becomes less effective and the tires start to ride on a layer of water like water skis. This is called “hydroplaning.” It may result in a loss of braking and steering control. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down.

Not quite. The answer is get out of the way.

Aggressive driving is the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property. If the driver behind you repeatedly flashes his or her headlights, do not retaliate or engage the driver in any way. Instead, get out of the way.

Not quite. The answer is maintain a space cushion.

To avoid collisions on the road, maintain an adequate space cushion. That is, leave plenty of space between your vehicle and others on all sides.

Not quite. The answer is 1 year.

If you were ordered to install an IID (ignition interlock device) in your vehicle and then you're convicted of driving without it, your license will be revoked for one year. The IID measures your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC) and won't let you start your vehicle if your BrAC exceeds your state's limit.

Not quite. The answer is yield to the vehicles on the main road before you enter it.

Vehicles entering a main road from a private road or driveway must yield to vehicles on the main road. (Note: Some other states require the entering vehicles to come to a complete stop and then yield to vehicles on the main road. When traveling out of state, always check the local traffic laws.)

Not quite. The answer is 5 years.

If you were ordered to install an IID (ignition interlock device) in your vehicle and then you're convicted for a second time of driving without it, your license will be revoked for five years. The IID measures your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC) and won't let you start your vehicle if your BrAC exceeds your state's limit.

Not quite. The answer is swinging wide to the left

To turn right, keep right. If you swing wide, you may veer into another lane of traffic, which can cause an accident. The vehicle behind you may even try to pass you on your right while you are turning, which can also cause an accident.

Not quite. The answer is When you are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or following a vehicle within 300 feet

You must dim your high beams when you are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or following a vehicle within 300 feet. Avoid shining your high beams on any other occupied vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is extreme caution to make a left turn.

As you enter a shared center turning lane to make a left turn, use extreme caution. There may be vehicles traveling in the opposite direction that are also entering the turning lane to make left turns.

Not quite. The answer is check your mirrors and look over your shoulder toward the rear.

Before changing lanes, you should check your mirrors and then check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder toward the rear.

Not quite. The answer is Operating visual screen devices and texting while driving

It is illegal to drive while operating a visual screen device or texting. Performing such actions while driving are prohibited by the law.

Not quite. The answer is move your vehicle off the roadway.

According to Missouri law, when a crash occurs on an interstate or other highway with no apparent serious injuries, the driver of each vehicle involved must remove his or her vehicle from the roadway if the vehicle is drivable and can be moved off the roadway safely. If the vehicle is not moved off the roadway and the police decide it is blocking traffic, they can have it towed away. This policy, known as "Steer It and Clear It," prevents vehicles involved in minor crashes from blocking traffic and helps prevent secondary crashes.

Not quite. The answer is to the rear

Before backing up your vehicle, you should look to the front, sides, and rear, and continue to look to the rear while backing.

Not quite. The answer is do all of the above.

When preparing to leave a parallel parking space, you should look over your shoulder as well as in your mirrors. Then wait until the way is clear before you pull into traffic. You should indicate your intention by signaling, enter into traffic in the nearest lane, and remain in that lane until it is safe to change into another lane.

Not quite. The answer is Do all of the above.

If you see a vehicle coming toward you in your lane, brake hard, sound your horn, flash your headlights, and veer as far to the right as you safely can. Don't try to veer to your left. The other driver may suddenly realize his or her mistake and return to his or her proper lane.
