Hawaii Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: It depends only on the amount of alcohol that enters your blood, not the type of drink

It doesn’t matter whether you drink beer, wine, whiskey, or any other alcoholic beverage — it is the amount of alcohol that enters your blood that causes the problem.

Correct answer: Motorcycles and motorscooters

Category 2 (class 2) covers motorcycles and motorscooters. It requires a special knowledge test and an off-street skills test described in the Motorcycle Operator Manual.

Correct answer: 12 inches from the curb

Parking more than 12 inches (30 cm) from the curb is prohibited. When parallel parked, the vehicle’s curbside wheels must be within 12 inches of the curb or completely within the marked parking stall.

Correct answer: $3,000 or more

Property damage of $3,000 or more must be reported to the police immediately. Any amount of personal injury or a death must also be reported.

Correct answer: Stop and yield to all traffic on the road you are entering

You must stop and yield to all traffic when entering any public street or road from an alley, driveway, or farmyard.

Correct answer: The youngest drivers, under age 20

The youngest drivers (under age 20) have about twice as many crashes as would be expected for the number of drivers in this group. Crashes decrease with age until about 50 to 54, then rise again after age 55.

Correct answer: Allow for the increased stopping distance it needs

Large vehicles require greater stopping distances. When changing lanes or at intersections, other drivers must make allowances for the additional distance these vehicles need to stop.

Correct answer: The red light is about to appear; do not enter the intersection

A yellow light means the red light will appear immediately afterward. You should avoid entering the intersection, and you must not enter it once the red light is shown.

Correct answer: Drive in the right-hand lane so others can pass on your left

You must not drive so slowly that you hold back other traffic. If you drive more slowly than traffic on a multilane road, drive in the right-hand lane so others can pass you on your left.

Correct answer: Use hand signals

Hand signals must be used when the vehicle turn signals are not operating. Knowledge of the proper hand signals is required if the electric signals fail.

Correct answer: Affect you more rapidly than if you had recently eaten

Alcohol can affect you differently at different times. A small amount on an empty stomach will affect you more rapidly than it would if you had recently eaten a meal.

Correct answer: 17 years old

To get a Category 3 license you must be at least 17 years old. If you are under 18 you must first complete the graduated licensing program.

Correct answer: Could interfere with the use of the hydrant

Parking is prohibited in front of or so close to a fire hydrant that your vehicle could interfere with the use of the hydrant. Firefighters must have clear, immediate access to it.

Correct answer: Name, address, and vehicle registration information

Drivers must give their name, address, and vehicle registration information, and if requested, show their driver’s license to any person injured or to the driver or occupant of any vehicle or property damaged in the crash.

Correct answer: Yield to them before proceeding

When your light turns green you must yield to pedestrians and cars still caught in the intersection before you proceed.

Correct answer: Faster reaction time and sharper night vision

Eventually the aging process results in reduced hearing and eyesight, reduced physical dexterity, increased reaction and decision time, and a decreased attention span. All drivers should recognize and drive within their limitations.

Correct answer: May be traveling below the posted speed limit and need extra space to turn

Large vehicles accelerate very slowly and cannot maneuver quickly. They may travel below the posted limit, and they must make allowances for their greater width and length when turning, changing lanes, or backing.

Correct answer: Yield to all pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection

A green light means go straight ahead or turn (except where signs prohibit turns), but you must yield to all pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection.

Correct answer: On streets near schools and playgrounds, and in residential or business areas

Reduced speed limits are required on streets near schools and playgrounds, at "School Crossing" locations when children are present, and on streets in residential or business areas.

Correct answer: No right to make the movement — you must still make sure it is safe

The signal only indicates your intent; it does not give you the right to make the movement. You alone are responsible for completing it safely without interfering with other traffic.
