Arizona Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Yes — you can be found guilty if you are impaired to the slightest degree

Being under 0.08 BAC does not mean it is legal or safe to drive. Studies show alcohol impairs driving well below 0.08, and you can still be arrested and found guilty of driving under the influence.

Correct answer: 18 years of age

You must be at least 18 years of age to apply for an operator (Class D) license, which lets you drive any vehicle that does not require a motorcycle or commercial license.

Correct answer: Stop only long enough to load or unload, and you must stay with your car

A yellow curb allows you to stop only long enough to load or unload, and you must stay with your car. Red means no stopping at all; white is for picking up or dropping off passengers.

Correct answer: Suspended for 1 year

A conviction for failure to stop at a crash involving only vehicle damage results in a 1-year suspension of your driving privilege. The penalties climb sharply when there is injury or death.

Correct answer: Stop before the sidewalk and yield to pedestrians and approaching vehicles

When entering the roadway from an alley or driveway, you must stop before reaching the sidewalk and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and approaching vehicles.

Correct answer: Stay in the vehicle with your seat belt buckled

Stay in the vehicle with your seat belt buckled and wait until the dust storm has passed. Leaving the car exposes you to vehicles that may drift off the road.

Correct answer: Preparing to make a wide right turn

To make a wide turn, farm-machinery operators may first pull to the left and then turn to the right. Do not assume they are moving over for you — wait to see what they actually do.

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution if the roadway is clear

A flashing yellow light means you should slow down and proceed with caution if the roadway is clear.

Correct answer: The maximum speed you may legally travel

White speed-limit signs with black letters are regulatory and indicate the maximum speed you may legally go.

Correct answer: Making left turns in either direction

A two-way left-turn lane is only for vehicles turning left in either direction. Do not use it for passing, for through traffic, or to accelerate in order to merge with through traffic.

Correct answer: Is driving OR is in actual physical control of a vehicle

It is unlawful to drive or be in actual physical control of any vehicle while under the influence. You do not have to be moving to be charged with DUI.

Correct answer: 80 percent — at least 24 of the 30 correct

The written test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions, and a score of 80 percent or higher is required to pass — so you may miss no more than 6. The questions are taken from this manual.

Correct answer: Within 15 feet

It is illegal to park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant so that firefighters can reach it in an emergency.

Correct answer: 10 years

A conviction for failure to stop at a crash involving a death results in revocation of your driving privilege for 10 years (not counting time incarcerated).

Correct answer: Treat it as a four-way stop and come to a complete stop

When approaching an intersection with an inoperative traffic control signal, treat it as a four-way stop — come to a complete stop before entering, then proceed when the roadway is clear.

Correct answer: So a following driver does not steer toward your tail-lights and hit you

Drivers tend to steer toward any lights they can see. With your lights off, a driver still moving cannot mistake your parked car for traffic to follow, so they will not drive into you.

Correct answer: Keep back far enough to see around it and react to changing traffic

Trucks are almost as wide as a lane and block your view ahead. Follow at a safe distance so you can see around the truck and react to changing traffic conditions.

Correct answer: You may not turn in the direction of the arrow — stop and wait for the green signal

A lighted red arrow means you may not turn in the direction of the arrow. You must stop and wait for the green signal to appear before turning.

Correct answer: A recommended safe speed for a curve, grade or special condition

Orange signs with black letters indicate recommended safe speeds due to the curvature, grade or other special conditions at that location. Slow down until you can safely navigate the location.

Correct answer: It can be made safely, does not interfere with traffic, and is not prohibited by signs

U-turns are permitted as long as the movement can be made safely, does not interfere with other traffic and is not prohibited by signs. You must yield to approaching traffic and turn only when it is safe.
