Nevada DMV Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is You must make a U-turn from this lane.

This unusual lane control sign indicates that all vehicles in this lane must make a U-turn. This sign may be accompanied by an equally unusual traffic signal whose lighted U-turn arrows will indicate when the vehicles can make the U-turns.

Not quite. The answer is at least 40 mph.

This sign means that under normal traffic, weather, and road conditions, you may not drive slower than 40 mph. Such minimum speeds are posted to improve traffic flow and safety. However, if driving conditions are hazardous, you may drive at a speed below the posted minimum speed.

Not quite. The answer is In the daytime, you can drive with just your parking lights on to make your car easier to see.

In Nevada, you must use your headlights from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise. You must also use your headlights whenever you cannot see vehicles or pedestrians clearly at 1,000 feet. In Nevada (but not in some other states), you may briefly flash your headlights as a "visual horn" to warn another driver that you intend to pass. Your parking lights are for parking, not driving. If you need more light while you drive, switch on your headlights, not your parking lights.

Not quite. The answer is 6 years

A driver who is convicted of a third or subsequent DUI conviction within seven years will be sentenced to between one and six years in prison. This penalty may be reduced if the driver is allowed to undergo alcohol or drug treatment. [Criminal Action, Penalties for DUI, Chapter 9: Driving Under the Influence, Nevada Driver's Handbook],

Not quite. The answer is slow down and encourage the driver behind you to pass.

If you are being tailgated, slow down and encourage the driver behind you to pass. If this fails, pull over, stop, and let the tailgater pass. Don't increase your speed in an attempt to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.

Not quite. The answer is escape ramps

Escape ramps are located on many steep mountain grades. Escape ramps are built to stop runaway vehicles safely without injuring drivers or passengers. Escape ramps use a long bed of loose, soft material (such as gravel) to slow a runaway vehicle, sometimes in combination with an upgrade.

Not quite. The answer is Sharp right turn

This sign indicates that the road ahead turns sharply to the right. Slow down and use caution.

Not quite. The answer is Never

Not quite. The answer is passing is allowed if done safely.

Broken white lines indicate that passing is allowed when it can be done safely.

Not quite. The answer is a yield sign ahead.

This sign gives advance warning of a yield sign ahead. Prepare to slow down and yield to vehicles approaching from other roadways.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, but only after you yield to all traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.

You can proceed on a green signal after yielding to all pedestrians and traffic that are already in the intersection.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above answers are correct.

Alcohol can affect your concentration, reaction time, and judgment.

Not quite. The answer is a railroad crossing.

This is an advance warning sign that may be posted in advance of the railroad crossing. Vehicles must slow down, look, listen, and be prepared to stop at the crossing ahead.

Not quite. The answer is A side road at a railroad crossing

This sign warns that a side road crosses a railroad track. Use caution when making a turn onto the side road.

Not quite. The answer is as close to the right as possible

When approaching an intersection to make a right turn, stay as close to the right as possible. Make the turn close to the right curb.

Not quite. The answer is in fog, rain, or snow.

Use high beams whenever there are no oncoming vehicles nearby. High beams allow you to see twice as far as low beams. Be sure to use high beams on unfamiliar roads, in construction areas, or where there may be people alongside the road. However, use low beams in fog, rain, or snow. Light from high beams reflects back from such precipitation and can cause glare.

Not quite. The answer is lodging is available.

This is a service sign. Drivers are advised to use lodging facilities if needed.

Not quite. The answer is Increased alertness

Alcohol can impair vision, slow down reactions, and dull judgement. Alcohol does not increase alertness.

Not quite. The answer is if there is a broken yellow line on your side of the center dividing line.

If there is a broken yellow line next to your lane, you are allowed to pass other vehicles. You must not pass another vehicle within 100 feet of a crosswalk or a railroad crossing.

Not quite. The answer is either 15 or 25 mph.

In a school zone, the speed limit is 15 mph. In a school crossing zone, the speed limit is 25 mph. These speed limits are in effect on school days from half an hour before school begins to half an hour after school ends, unless otherwise posted.
