Nebraska DMV Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Passing on the left is allowed when the way ahead is clear.

A broken yellow line separates two lanes of traffic traveling in opposite directions. A broken line allows passing on the left when the way ahead is clear. However, you should still use caution and keep watching for oncoming vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is in any of the above locations.

In Nebraska, it is illegal as well as dangerous to make a U-turn on an expressway, or near a crest of a hill or on a curve where you cannot be seen by other drivers approaching from either direction within 500 feet. Finally, it is also illegal to make a U-turn anywhere that signs prohibit it.

Not quite. The answer is ease your foot off the gas pedal.

If you suddenly have no control of the steering wheel, ease your foot off the gas pedal. Turn on your emergency flashers and let your vehicle slow to a stop. Brake very gently to prevent your vehicle from spinning.

Not quite. The answer is return to your original lane

When passing another vehicle, do not return to your original lane until you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rear-view mirror. (A recent survey on aggressive driving by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that about one out of four American drivers had deliberately tried to block another vehicle from changing lanes.) Signal a right turn to return to the original lane.

Not quite. The answer is This driver intends to slow down or stop.

This driver intends to slow down or stop.

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 backward. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear (Park for an automatic transmission or first gear for maximum forward torque with a manual transmission).

Not quite. The answer is yield the right-of-way to the oncoming vehicle.

According to Nebraska law, when you are preparing to turn left, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles. Failure to yield is a common cause of traffic accidents at intersections.

Not quite. The answer is no-passing zone ahead.

The "No Passing" sign is the only type of sign that is pennant shaped. It indicates a no-passing zone for all vehicles traveling in your direction. There may also be a solid yellow line next to your lane to indicate the same thing.

Not quite. The answer is an entrance ramp

You must not use an entrance ramp or acceleration lane to exit a freeway, even in a traffic jam.

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 A roundabout

This sign indicates that you are approaching a roundabout. A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island.

Not quite. The answer is move into the right lane and reduce your speed.

If you are being tailgated, move into the right lane and reduce your speed. Encourage the tailgater to pass you. You will be safer with the tailgater in front of you rather than right behind you. Don't try to increase your speed to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.

Not quite. The answer is within 12 inches of

When you parallel park your vehicle, you must park within 12 inches of the curb or the edge of the road. Always park on the right side of the roadway unless it is a one-way street.

Not quite. The answer is the hand-over-hand technique.

When making a right turn, look right and left, then turn the steering wheel hand-over-hand to complete the turn in the lane next to the curb.

Not quite. The answer is enter the acceleration lane

To enter an expressway or freeway, enter the acceleration lane and increase your speed to match that of highway traffic. Then merge safely with highway traffic.

Not quite. The answer is change them one at a time.

If you want to change several lanes, change them one at a time to reduce the risk of an accident.

Not quite. The answer is in an emergency or if your vehicle is unable to go any farther.

Stopping on the pavement or the shoulder is prohibited except in an emergency or if your vehicle is unable to go any farther.

Not quite. The answer is Keep right and allow the tailgater to pass.

If you are being tailgated, move into the right lane and reduce your speed. Encourage the tailgater to pass you. You will be safer with the tailgater in front of you rather than right behind you. Don't try to increase your speed to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.

Not quite. The answer is 40 mph.

The minimum required speed on interstate highways is 40 mph.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Total stopping distance is the sum of your perception distance (how far the vehicle goes from when you see the hazard until your brain processes it), reaction distance (how far the vehicle goes from when your brain orders your foot to take action until your foot actually starts to brake), and braking distance (how far the vehicle continues to travel once you apply the brake).
