Not quite. The answer is All of the above

The Utah Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law requires every owner of a motor vehicle to be financially responsible in the event of a traffic accident. The easiest way to meet this financial responsibility requirement is to be covered by a vehicle liability insurance policy. If a police officer stops you for a traffic violation or an equipment check, he or she may ask you for your driver license, insurance card, or vehicle registration. The insurance card or equivalent proof of insurance must be kept in the vehicle whenever it is being driven.

Not quite. The answer is the side, rear, and front No-Zones.

Large commercial vehicles such as trucks have big blind spots called No-Zones. No-Zones exist to the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle. It is impossible to completely avoid a truck's No-Zones. However, do not remain in a No-Zone any longer than necessary to safely pass a truck.

Not quite. The answer is 2 years

If a Utah resident who is between the ages of 13 and 20 is convicted of possessing or consuming alcohol or being in a bar, his or her license will be suspended for two years for a second or subsequent offense. For a driver under 16, the suspension will begin on the date of conviction and extend for two years from the person's 16th birthday. If the person is too young to drive, the suspension will begin when the minor becomes eligible.

Not quite. The answer is 18 months.

An adult driver who is convicted of DUI for the first time will be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in every vehicle that he or she drives for 18 months. The IID will monitor the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and prevent the vehicle from starting if his or her BAC exceeds a preset limit.

Not quite. The answer is any or all of the above

If you are convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may receive any of the following penalties: license suspension, severe fines, and community service.

Not quite. The answer is in open country without other vehicles nearby.

Use high beams when driving in open country without other vehicles nearby. (Utah law requires you to dim your headlights whenever you are within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or within 300 feet of a vehicle you are following.) However, even high beams don't let you see as far at night as you can in the daytime. Therefore, you should still drive slower at night.

Not quite. The answer is the entire front of the vehicle in your rear-view mirror.

Do not merge back in front of the passed vehicle until you are well ahead of it. The Utah Driver Handbook recommends not merging back until you can see the entire front of the vehicle in your rear-view mirror. Large vehicles have long stopping distances. If you merge back directly in front of a large vehicle and then suddenly slow down or stop for some reason, you might get rear-ended by the large vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is to stop, proceed in a certain direction, or limit your speed.

Regulatory devices instruct you to stop, proceed in a certain direction, or limit your speed. All regulatory devices indicate actions that you, the driver, are required to take. There may be penalties for failing to comply.

Not quite. The answer is 6 months.

Under Utah's "Not a Drop" Law, a minor may not drive with any measurable amount of alcohol in his or her system. If a minor is convicted of violating this law for the first time, his or her license will be suspended for six months.

Not quite. The answer is $85

If your license was suspended or revoked because you were convicted of some offense, you will have to pay a reinstatement fee before your driving privileges can be restored.

(Note: The 2017-2018 version of the Utah Driver Handbook still states the older reinstatement fee of $65.) For an alcohol- or drug-related offense, you may also have to pay a whopping administrative fee of $255.
