Minnesota Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: Yes — the law applies whether the vehicle is moving or parked

A person who is in physical control of a moving or parked vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or higher can be arrested for DWI.

Correct answer: Pass a written test and vision test, get an instruction permit, then pass a road test

A brand-new driver must pass a written test and a vision test, apply for an instruction permit, and then pass a road test before receiving a Minnesota driver’s license.

Correct answer: Engage the parking brake

Always set the parking brake when you park. To protect against theft, also lock your doors, take your keys with you, and never leave the vehicle running or the keys inside.

Correct answer: One-sixteenth of an inch deep

A tire is illegal if the tread is less than one-sixteenth inch deep. You can check with the penny test: place Lincoln’s head into the lowest groove — if any part of his head is covered, the tire is still legal.

Correct answer: Vehicles approaching from the opposite direction that are in the intersection or close enough to be a hazard

When making a left turn you must yield to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction that are in the intersection or close enough to pose a risk of a crash.

Correct answer: At sunset, and keep them on until sunrise

Your headlights must be on from sunset until sunrise, and any time you cannot clearly see the road ahead for at least 500 feet, including in rain, snow, hail, sleet, or fog.

Correct answer: When the red lights stop flashing

Whether you are facing the front or the back of the bus, you must remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing. Moving too soon is a misdemeanor with a fine of at least $500.

Correct answer: A stop sign — stop, yield, and proceed when the intersection is clear

Treat a flashing red light as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop, yield to vehicles and pedestrians who reach the intersection before you, and proceed when it is clear.

Correct answer: 30 mph

Under ideal conditions, the speed limit is 30 mph on urban or town roads unless signs indicate otherwise.

Correct answer: Straight ahead, so a rear-end hit will not push you into oncoming traffic

While waiting to turn left, keep your wheels straight and your foot on the brake. If your vehicle is struck from behind, you are less likely to be pushed into oncoming traffic.

Correct answer: 0.04 percent

If a law enforcement officer can prove that alcohol caused the driver to commit driving errors, the driver can be arrested for DWI with an alcohol concentration as low as 0.04 percent.

Correct answer: Pass a vision test and complete an application — no written or road test is required

If you are 21 or older and present a valid, unexpired license from another state, certain U.S. territories or Canada, you can get a Minnesota license by passing a vision test and completing an application — no written or road test needed.

Correct answer: 10 feet

Parking is prohibited within 10 feet of a fire hydrant so firefighters can reach it in an emergency.

Correct answer: 350 feet ahead

High-beam headlights must make objects visible at least 350 feet ahead. Replace damaged headlights and keep the lenses clean — dirty headlights can cut light output by up to 75 percent.

Correct answer: The driver on the road that ends must yield to all cross traffic

When you approach an uncontrolled "T" intersection, you must yield to all cross traffic if you are the one turning from the road that ends.

Correct answer: 500 feet

Turn your headlights on any time you cannot see the road ahead for at least 500 feet, and during rain, snow, sleet, hail, or fog. Keep them on low beam in these conditions to reduce glare.

Correct answer: The bus is preparing to stop — slow down and be ready to stop

Flashing yellow lights warn that the bus is about to stop to load or unload students. Drivers activate them at least 100 feet ahead in a 35 mph or lower zone, and 300 feet ahead in faster zones. Slow down and prepare to stop.

Correct answer: Caution — proceed through the intersection and yield to vehicles and pedestrians already there

A flashing yellow light or arrow means caution. Proceed through the intersection carefully and yield to vehicles and pedestrians already in it. If turning left, yield to oncoming vehicles close enough to be a hazard.

Correct answer: 10 mph

Under ideal conditions and unless signs indicate otherwise, the speed limit is 10 mph in alleys.

Correct answer: Finish in the correct lane for your direction of travel

Always finish your turn in the correct lane. Move into the proper lane well ahead of the turn, and do not make sudden turns from the wrong lane.
