Arkansas Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Time

There is no way to sober up quickly. Coffee, fresh air, exercise, and a cold shower will not help — only time will sober you up.

Correct answer: 18 years of age

A restricted license may be issued starting at 14, but a fully non-restricted license is issued to persons 18 years of age or older.

Correct answer: Check traffic

Check traffic before you open the door. Exit on the curbside if possible; if you must exit on the street side, check traffic before getting out.

Correct answer: Under 15

Under the Child Passenger Protection Act, all children under the age of 15 must wear appropriate safety restraints while the vehicle is in motion.

Correct answer: Legally crossing the road, in or about to enter a crosswalk

Drivers must yield, where necessary, to avoid striking pedestrians who are legally crossing the road, including at crosswalks that are not marked.

Correct answer: On opposite sides of the wheel

Place your hands on opposite sides of the steering wheel. This is comfortable and lets you make turns without taking your hands off the wheel.

Correct answer: Up to 200 feet

A car can disappear in the truck’s No-Zone up to 20 feet in front of the cab, alongside either side, and up to 200 feet in the rear. Do not tailgate a truck.

Correct answer: Left turns are permitted, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians

A flashing yellow arrow means left turns are permitted, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, then proceed with caution.

Correct answer: Heat brings oil in the asphalt to the surface until the rain washes it away

When it starts to rain on a hot day, heat causes the oil in the asphalt to surface, making conditions more slippery until the rain washes the oil from the roadway.

Correct answer: You may cross to pass if there is no opposing traffic

A broken yellow line between opposing lanes indicates you may cross to pass if there is no opposing traffic.

Correct answer: One drink per hour

The body rids itself of alcohol at a rate of about one drink per hour. Nothing you do can speed that up.

Correct answer: Under 26,001 pounds

Instruction Permit, Learner’s, Intermediate, and Class D holders may operate a vehicle with a GVWR under 26,001 pounds. A vehicle built to carry 16 or more passengers or to haul hazardous material requires a Commercial License.

Correct answer: The curbside

Always exit the vehicle on the curbside when possible. If you have no choice but to exit on the street side, check traffic first.

Correct answer: 14 years old

Under the Protection from Secondhand Smoke for Children Act, a person may not knowingly smoke tobacco in a vehicle in which a child under 14 years of age is a passenger.

Correct answer: Look left and right, and not enter unless you can clear it without stopping

Before entering an intersection, look left and right. Do not enter unless you can get through without having to stop, so you do not block the intersection.

Correct answer: Cause your vehicle to skid and make you lose control

Braking quickly can cause your vehicle to skid and lose control. Scan the road ahead and slow down early to avoid sudden stops.

Correct answer: Up to 20 feet

A car can disappear up to 20 feet in front of the cab. Never cut in front of a truck and then slow down — you remove the truck driver’s cushion of safety.

Correct answer: You may turn in the direction of the arrow — the turn is protected and opposing traffic must stop

A green arrow means you may turn in the direction of the arrow. The turn is protected — opposing traffic must stop.

Correct answer: Slowly ease your foot off the gas and keep the steering wheel straight

If your vehicle hydroplanes, slowly take your foot off the gas, keep the steering wheel straight, and do not try to stop or turn until your tires are gripping the road again.

Correct answer: They divide lanes, show where it is safe to pass or change lanes, and mark where to stop

Lines and symbols marked on the roadway divide lanes, indicate when it is safe to pass or change lanes, show which lanes to use for turns, mark where to stop, and define pedestrian walkways.
