Kansas Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: Are required to take a test for alcohol or drugs

By getting a driver’s license you consent to a lawfully requested BAC test if suspected of impaired driving (K.S.A. 8-1001). The test may measure breath, blood, or urine.

Correct answer: Ease off the brake pedal, then reapply it without taking your foot off

Without ABS, apply the brakes hard but not to the point of locking. If they lock and the vehicle skids, ease up and reapply with control — do not take your foot off the pedal.

Correct answer: One year from the date it is issued

A Kansas non-commercial Class C instruction permit is valid for one year from issuance. It may be renewed, but renewal requires retaking and passing the written examination.

Correct answer: No more than 12 inches

A vehicle parked more than 12 inches from the curb is parked illegally. Park close and parallel to the curb.

Correct answer: The vehicle on the right goes first

At a four-way stop, the driver who reaches the intersection first goes first. If more than one vehicle arrives at the same time, the vehicle on the right goes first.

Correct answer: About every 100 miles or 2 hours

Schedule breaks about every 100 miles or 2 hours on long trips. If you feel drowsy, pull off and take a 15- to 20-minute nap in a safe parking area.

Correct answer: On the left side, facing oncoming traffic

Where there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the street facing oncoming traffic so you can see approaching vehicles. At night, wear light-colored clothing and carry a flashlight.

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and proceed as you would at a stop sign

A flashing red light means stop behind the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, then look both ways and yield the right-of-way before entering — exactly as you would at a stop sign.

Correct answer: 55 mph

Unless otherwise posted, the maximum is 55 mph on a county or township road, 65 mph on a state or federal highway, and 75 mph on a separated, multilane highway so designated.

Correct answer: The lane closest to the direction you want to go, crossing the fewest lanes of traffic

As a safety precaution, turn into the lane closest to the one you came from that is going in your direction. This way you cross the fewest lanes of traffic.

Correct answer: One year

A first refusal of a BAC test carries a mandatory one-year license suspension. Later refusals bring longer suspensions.

Correct answer: Steer the vehicle quicker than you can stop it

In most cases you can steer away from a collision faster than you can stop. Keep a firm grip with both hands and steer in the direction you want to go.

Correct answer: 15 years old

A Kansas restricted license is available at 15, but only after the applicant has held an instruction permit for one year or more and has met the supervised-driving and driver-education requirements.

Correct answer: No closer than 30 feet on the approach side

Parking is not allowed within 30 feet approaching a traffic signal, stop sign, or flashing beacon at the side of the road, so the device stays visible to other drivers.

Correct answer: Oncoming vehicles going straight or turning right

A driver turning left must yield the right-of-way to oncoming vehicles going straight ahead or turning right. If both cars enter at the same time, the car going straight has the right-of-way.

Correct answer: Anything that takes your attention away from driving

A distraction is anything that takes your attention away from driving. Mental activities that take your mind off the road are just as dangerous as taking your eyes or hands off the wheel.

Correct answer: Yield to pedestrians still in the intersection

A green light does not give you the right-of-way over pedestrians already in the intersection. You can only assume the right-of-way when your intended path is clear.

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light means slow down and proceed with caution. Be prepared to stop for any traffic that may be entering the intersection.

Correct answer: 75 mph

The maximum on a separated, multilane highway as designated and posted is 75 mph. Even so, you must reduce speed when weather, road, or traffic conditions require it.

Correct answer: On a curve, near the top of a hill, or anywhere you cannot be seen for at least 500 feet

Do not make a U-turn on a curve, near the top of a hill, or anywhere you cannot be seen by other drivers for at least 500 feet. Also obey local ordinances and regulatory signs.
