Nevada DMV Permit: Driving Maneuvers Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is to parallel park.

Backing up is dangerous because it is hard for you to see everything behind your vehicle and other drivers don't usually expect a vehicle to be backing toward them. Try to avoid backing into traffic. However, to enter a driveway or parallel parking space, back into it unless signs prohibit doing so. That way, you will be going forward when you pull out.

Not quite. The answer is Slow down before entering the curve.

To handle a curve, slow down before you enter the curve so that you will not need to brake in the curve. Braking in a curve can cause a skid.

Not quite. The answer is continue to the next exit.

If you miss your exit on an expressway, don't stop, back up, or try to turn around. Doing so greatly increases the likelihood of a collision. Instead, continue to the next exit and find a way to double back from there.

Not quite. The answer is if the vehicle is making or about to make a left turn.

You may pass another vehicle on the right if the vehicle is making or about to make a left turn. You may not pass on a bridge, curve, or hill where vision may be obstructed.

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 in the leftmost lane.

To make a left turn, you must begin it in the leftmost lane unless signs, signals, or pavement markings indicate otherwise.

Not quite. The answer is Pull off the road and move away from traffic.

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, make sure that other drivers can see it. If you are having vehicle trouble and need to stop, perform these steps: Pull off the road, away from all traffic if possible. Turn on your 4-way flashers. Lift the hood to signal the emergency and place emergency flares or triangles behind your vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is do not increase your speed.

If another vehicle is passing you on the left, do not increase your speed. Let the other vehicle pass you safely.

Not quite. The answer is This driver intends to turn right.

This driver is signaling to turn right.

Not quite. The answer is 20–30 seconds.

In ordinary driving, you should look ahead at least 12 seconds. When you are driving at freeway speeds, you should look ahead at least 20 to 30 seconds. This will allow you to watch traffic patterns and react to changes. (At 70 mph, your vehicle will travel 3,080 feet in 30 seconds – more than half a mile.)

Not quite. The answer is turn off your cell phone until you reach your destination.

A distraction is still a distraction, even on a straightaway or an empty road. Do not eat, drink, smoke, text, read, or have difficult conversations while driving. If possible, turn off your phone and keep it off until you are done driving for the day.

Not quite. The answer is make a left turn.

If a driver extends his or her left arm straight out, the driver is signaling to turn left.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic is merging ahead.

If you are on the main road and see this sign, be prepared for vehicles entering your lane. Adjust your speed and position to allow these vehicles to merge safely.

Not quite. The answer is Car B

When you turn, you should cross as few lanes as possible unless signs or pavement markings indicate otherwise. That is, you should turn left from the left lane and turn right from the right lane, and you should turn into the closest lane of traffic that is moving in the right direction. Here, Car B has turned correctly into the closest lane. Car A has incorrectly turned into the farthest lane.

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 D) 10 inches from the curb

You must not parallel park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant and you must not angle park within 20 feet of a fire hydrant. You must not park on a bridge, on the sidewalk, or more than 18 inches from the curb. (There are also other places where you are not allowed to park. Check for signs or colored curb markings that may prohibit or limit parking.) Here, the car in answer D) has legally parked 10 inches from the curb.

Not quite. The answer is a median.

A barrier of grass, concrete, or other material separating opposing lanes of traffic on a divided roadway is known as a median. Medians are found on highways and some major streets. It is illegal to drive over, across, or on a median.

Not quite. The answer is Hand and arm extended upward

In Nevada, you must signal a turn 100 feet ahead on city streets and 300 feet ahead on open highways. Continue signaling until you are ready to make the actual turn. The correct hand signal for making a right turn is hand and arm extended upward.

Not quite. The answer is one block ahead.

When you drive in city traffic, you should try to look at least one block ahead. In the city, 10 seconds is about one block.
