Nebraska Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is As shown in image A

Riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings may cause your motorcycle to weave. This uneasy, “wandering” feeling is generally not hazardous. Relax and maintain a steady speed and ride straight across. Crossing at an angle forces riders to zigzag to stay in the lane. The zigzag is far more hazardous than the wandering feeling. The right way to cross is shown in image A.

Not quite. The answer is You must not drive on the railroad tracks.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that you are not allowed to drive on the railroad tracks.

Not quite. The answer is you must not drive in this lane.

Lane-use control signals are special overhead signals that permit or prohibit the use of specific lanes of a street or highway. A steady red X signal over a lane indicates that you must not drive in this lane.

Not quite. The answer is Pedestrians may enter the crosswalk.

Pedestrian signals are only for controlling pedestrian traffic. This signal showing a person walking tells pedestrians that they may enter the crosswalk to cross the roadway. (Older signals had the word "WALK" illuminated instead.) A signal showing an upraised hand tells pedestrians that they may not enter the crosswalk. (Older signals had the words "DONT WALK" illuminated instead.)

Not quite. The answer is 6

The following accident-related offenses will each add six points to your driving record: Leaving the scene of an accident, failing to stop and render aid in an accident involving you, and failing to report an accident to law enforcement.

Not quite. The answer is A railroad crossing ahead

This railroad crossing signal has a bell and flashing red lights to warn that a train is coming. Stop when the bell is ringing and the lights are flashing.

Not quite. The answer is rise slightly off the seat.

To help absorb the shock of riding over obstacles, rise off the seat slightly and let your knees and elbows absorb the shock.

Not quite. The answer is allow your feet to skim the surface.

If you must coast over a slippery surface, you should also allow your feet to skim the surface. If your motorcycle starts to tip, you can steady it with your feet.

Not quite. The answer is two

For an adequate space cushion, maintain a following distance of at least two seconds between you and the vehicle ahead of you. That's true whether the vehicle ahead of you is a car or another motorcycle. In poor riding conditions, you should increase your following distance.

Not quite. The answer is When riding on ice

To maintain balance and safety when riding on ice, skim the surface of the road with your feet. If your motorcycle starts to slip, you can steady it with your feet.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

When you are being passed by another vehicle, watch out for extended side mirrors, objects being thrown from windows, and blasts of wind (especially from a larger vehicle).

Not quite. The answer is the same distance to stop as cars do.

In traffic, motorcycles need as much stopping distance as cars do. Always maintain an adequate space cushion.

Not quite. The answer is only using one brake.

To ride safely on slippery surfaces, use both the front and rear brakes. The front brake is still more effective than the rear brake, even on a slippery surface. Apply it gradually to avoid locking the front wheel, and apply the rear brake gently.

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. They are placed along the edge of the roadway to give drivers information about their locations on the highway for navigational and emergency purposes. The number on the milepost usually indicates the distance in miles to the state line or the end of the road.

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

To see better at night, use your high beam and avoid wearing a tinted face shield. If the taillights of the car ahead of you appear to be bouncing up and down, the car is likely riding over bumps.

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

At night, you can stay safe by using your high beam, using the lights of the car ahead of you to help you see, reducing your speed, and increasing your following distance.

Not quite. The answer is maintain or increase your speed.

To help maintain your balance in a turn, you should maintain or increase your speed. Motorcycles are not as stable at lower speeds.

Not quite. The answer is Cover the clutch and the brake.

When riding through an area of potential hazards, you should cover the clutch and the brake to reduce your reaction time.

Not quite. The answer is A

The school zone sign is pentagonal (five sided) with a yellow or yellow-green background.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic in the right lane must turn right, and traffic in the second lane should go straight or turn right.

This sign means that traffic in the right lane must turn right, and traffic in the second lane should either continue straight or turn right.
