Idaho Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Use a designated driver who stays sober

Strategies to prevent impaired driving include offering to be a designated driver, having a designated driver hold the car keys, and getting a ride to and from parties where alcohol is present.

Correct answer: Idaho’s Real ID — a license or ID card that meets federal Real ID security standards

The Star Card is Idaho’s Real ID. It adds a star showing the credential complies with federal Real ID standards. Without a Star Card or a valid passport, you cannot fly commercially or enter a federal building.

Correct answer: Sharply toward and against the curb

When facing downhill, turn your front wheels sharply toward and against the curb or edge of the road. If the car rolls, the curb will stop it from rolling into traffic.

Correct answer: 25 feet

Foot brakes must stop a vehicle traveling 20 mph on dry pavement within 25 feet. The emergency or parking brake must stop it within 55 feet and hold it stationary on a hill.

Correct answer: Stop, then yield to pedestrians and cross-traffic before entering

When entering a street from an alley, building, driveway, or private road, you must stop before crossing the sidewalk and yield to pedestrians and traffic.

Correct answer: 15 through 24 years old

Alive at 25 is a defensive-driving course for those who are 15 through 24 years old, a group over-represented in crash statistics. It emphasizes responsible choices and decision-making.

Correct answer: Not allowed

Parking in bike lanes is not allowed. Bike lanes are designated travel lanes for bicyclists and should not be blocked.

Correct answer: The maximum speed for that road under ideal driving conditions

A speed limit sign shows the maximum speed limit on a section of road under ideal driving conditions. In rain, snow, ice, or fog, Idaho’s basic-rule law still requires you to slow to a reasonable and prudent speed.

Correct answer: It is illegal to engage in any race, speed exhibition, or speed contest on any public road, street, or highway

It is illegal to engage in any vehicle race, speed exhibition, or speed contest on any public road, street, or highway.

Correct answer: Bicycles approaching between your vehicle and the curb

Approach the turn in the right-hand lane, staying close to the right curb, and watch for bicycles approaching from the right between your vehicle and the curb. Turn into the right-hand lane of the cross street and do not swing wide.

Correct answer: Both the driver and passengers

Idaho's open container law prohibits both drivers and passengers from drinking or possessing an open container of alcohol in the vehicle.

Correct answer: It is verified with the Social Security Administration but is not printed on the license

Your Social Security number must be verified through the Social Security Administration’s online verification system, but it will not be printed on your Idaho driver’s license or ID card.

Correct answer: Sharply away from the curb, then let the car roll back against it

Facing uphill with a curb, turn your wheels sharply away and let the car roll back so a wheel rests against the curb. This keeps the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes slip.

Correct answer: 6 years of age or younger

Idaho law requires anyone carrying children 6 years of age or younger in a non-commercial vehicle to properly protect them in approved child car safety seats.

Correct answer: Stop and yield to drivers approaching from the other two directions

At an uncontrolled three-way “T” intersection where you must turn right or left, you must stop and yield to any drivers approaching from the other two directions.

Correct answer: The worst — for example, that a child on the corner may run in front of you

After spotting a potential hazard, predict what will happen — it is safest to predict the worst. If you see children playing on a corner, prepare for one to run in front of you.

Correct answer: They are smaller and harder to see, and are easily hidden in a blind spot

Motorcycles are smaller and harder to see than cars and are easily hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot. Because it is hard to judge their speed and distance, be alert and extra cautious around them.

Correct answer: The road ahead is divided — stay on the right side of the island or barrier

A “Keep Right of Island” sign warns that the road ahead is divided, and you must stay on the right side of the island or barrier.

Correct answer: A slower, reasonable and prudent speed for the conditions

A posted speed limit is the maximum for ideal conditions. In snow, ice, rain, or fog, the basic-rule law requires you to slow to a speed that is reasonable and prudent for the conditions.

Correct answer: Approach in the lane closest to the left, yield to oncoming traffic, and turn into the nearest lane without cutting the corner

For a left turn, approach in the lane closest to the left that is open to your direction, yield to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles, and turn into the nearest lane going your way — do not cut the corner.
