Utah DMV Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is slow down or stop.

This hand signal is the equivalent of the brake lights on the driver's vehicle. This driver intends to slow down or stop.

Not quite. The answer is stop

Treat a flashing red light like a stop sign. That is, come to a complete stop and then yield the right-of-way before proceeding.

Not quite. The answer is Each of the above

A 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor, a 12-ounce can of regular beer, and a 5-ounce glass of wine are each generally considered one standard drink. Although the total serving sizes are different, each contains approximately 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol.

Not quite. The answer is Back up slowly, turning your steering wheel to the left to aim the back of your vehicle toward the front of the vehicle behind you.

The steps in parallel parking on the right side of the road are as follows. Put on your turn signal to warn other drivers that you intend to park. Signal and stop with the back of your vehicle even with the back of the vehicle in front of the parking space. Back up slowly, turning your steering wheel to the right to aim the back of your car toward the front of the car behind you. As the front of your car clears the back of the car in front of you, turn your wheels sharply to the left and continue backing slowly until the back of your car almost touches the car behind you. Straighten your wheels and pull forward to center your vehicle in the parking space. Put your transmission in Park (for an automatic) or in first gear or Reverse (for a manual). Set the parking brake.

Not quite. The answer is No.

This sign indicates that parking is prohibited here between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Not quite. The answer is a barrier.

Two sets of double solid yellow lines spaced two or more feet apart are considered a barrier. Don't drive on or over this barrier. Don't make a left turn or U-turn across it except at designated openings.

Not quite. The answer is 70

A driver under 21 years of age who has accumulated 70 or more points within a three-year period will be required to appear for a hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to determine what corrective actions should be taken, such as suspending the driver's license.

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

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 The maximum allowable speed in a school zone when children are present

This sign warns drivers not to exceed the posted speed limit near schools when children are present. In Utah, the speed limit in a school zone is 20 mph during recess, when children are going to or leaving school, or when the flashing lights on school zone signs are operating.

Not quite. The answer is There is a roundabout ahead; prepare to yield to traffic.

This sign indicates a roundabout ahead. A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. Slow down and prepare to yield to traffic in the roundabout.

Not quite. The answer is Proceed with caution.

Normally, you must stop for a stopped school bus whose red lights are flashing, no matter which direction it is traveling in. In Utah, however, there are three exceptions to this rule. (1) The school bus is stopped on the opposite side of a divided highway.(2) The school bus is stopped on the opposite side of a roadway that has a shared center turn lane. (3) The school bus has stopped at the direction of a traffic signal or police officer. [Rules for School Buses, Section 8: General Driving, Utah Driver Handbook],

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Prescription drugs, illegal drugs, and over-the-counter drugs can all affect your ability to safely drive a vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is a dashed yellow line is next to your lane.

On two-lane, two-way roads, you may pass on the left if there is a dashed yellow line next to your lane.

Not quite. The answer is marijuana.

After alcohol, the second most common drug used by drivers involved in accidents is marijuana.

Not quite. The answer is the right lane.

In a multilane roundabout, do not pass any vehicle. Be prepared to yield to vehicles turning in front of you from the inside lane to exit the roundabout. If you intend to exit the roundabout less than halfway around it, use the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is The maximum speed limit at night is 45 mph.

This sign means that the maximum speed limit at night is 45 mph.

Not quite. The answer is A two-way road is ahead.

This sign warns that you are entering a two-way undivided roadway. Keep right and watch for oncoming traffic.

Not quite. The answer is No vehicles are allowed to make U-turns.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that U-turns are prohibited here.

Not quite. The answer is Rear-end collisions

Rear-end collisions are the most frequent type of crashes on interstate highways. And the most frequent cause of rear-end collisions is tailgating (following the vehicle ahead too closely). The Utah Driver Handbook recommends that you maintain a following distance of at least two seconds behind the vehicle ahead of you. Under poor driving conditions, you should increase your following distance.

Not quite. The answer is pedestrians.

You must yield to pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks.
