Arkansas Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: 15 to 40 minutes

Alcohol is absorbed into the blood and reaches the brain in about 15 to 40 minutes, where it affects the areas that control judgment and skill.

Correct answer: 14 years of age

You must be at least 14 to apply for an instruction permit. To receive it you must pass the knowledge exam and the vision test.

Correct answer: "Park"

Set the parking brake, and leave an automatic transmission in "Park" (or in gear for a manual transmission) so the vehicle cannot roll.

Correct answer: $25 (plus court costs)

A person who violates the seat belt law is subject to a fine not to exceed $25, plus any court costs or fees.

Correct answer: Has the absolute right-of-way — and you should not use your horn

Pedestrians using a guide dog or carrying a white cane have the absolute right-of-way. Do not use your horn, as it could confuse or frighten a blind pedestrian.

Correct answer: The drive wheels to spin or the vehicle to slide

Depressing the gas pedal too fast can make the drive wheels spin or the vehicle slide, especially when the pavement is wet. Accelerate slowly and smoothly.

Correct answer: The trailer’s rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels

A turning vehicle’s rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels, and that difference is greater for a long truck. Drivers must swing out to the left to make a right turn. Do not try to squeeze past on the right.

Correct answer: The same as a stop sign — stop completely, then proceed when safe

A flashing red light is the same as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop and then proceed only when it is safe.

Correct answer: Cut your speed in half

Decrease your speed at the first sign of rain, snow, or sleet. On packed snow, cut your speed in half; on ice, slow to a coast.

Correct answer: Passing is prohibited for traffic in either direction

A solid double yellow line separates lanes moving in opposite directions, and passing is prohibited for vehicles traveling in either direction.

Correct answer: Slowing your reflexes, reducing clear vision, and making you less alert

Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly, and makes you less alert. As the amount increases, your skills get worse.

Correct answer: July 1, 2001

Arkansas implemented its graduated driver license program on July 1, 2001, phasing driving privileges through the Instruction Permit, Learner’s, Intermediate, and Class D stages.

Correct answer: Within 18 inches of the curb

When parallel parking, your vehicle should be 18 inches or less from the curb. Parking more than 18 inches from the curb is a violation.

Correct answer: Less than 6 years old AND less than 60 pounds

A child who is less than 6 years of age and weighs less than 60 pounds must be restrained in a properly secured child passenger safety seat.

Correct answer: Oncoming vehicles traveling straight ahead

Drivers turning left must yield to oncoming cars traveling straight ahead.

Correct answer: Hand-over-hand

Use the hand-over-hand technique for sharp turns. Do not turn the wheel in the palm of your hand, and return the wheel to the proper position after the turn.

Correct answer: If you cannot see the truck driver in the truck’s side mirror, the driver cannot see you

Truck drivers have large blind spots. The rule is: "If you can’t see the truck driver in the tractor side mirror, the driver can’t see you."

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light means slow down and proceed with caution.

Correct answer: They are among the first surfaces to develop icy conditions

Overpasses and bridges can be some of the first roadway sections to develop ice, and may be ice-covered even when the road leading up to and away from them is clear.

Correct answer: Turn into a driveway when there is no opposing traffic approaching

A driver may cross a solid yellow line to turn into a driveway if there is no opposing traffic approaching the planned turn site — but not to pass.
