Nebraska Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: Both drivers and passengers

It is unlawful to consume or possess an open container of an alcoholic beverage inside any vehicle on a public roadway or public parking area in Nebraska. This applies to both drivers and passengers.

Correct answer: Accompanied by a licensed driver at least 21 years old seated beside the driver

The LPE is a practice permit. The permit holder must be accompanied by a licensed motor vehicle driver who is at least 21 and occupies the seat beside the driver.

Correct answer: Activate your 4-way flashers

For an emergency roadside stop, move as far off the road as possible, set the parking brake, activate your 4-way flashers, turn off the engine, and check traffic before getting out.

Correct answer: Contact the proper authorities and leave written information where the owner can find it

If you hit an unattended vehicle, contact the proper authorities and provide written information — your name, address, and other details — where the owner can find it. Leaving without doing so is unlawful.

Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way to any cross traffic close enough to cause conflict

At a yield sign, check for cross traffic before reaching the intersection and yield the right-of-way to any cross traffic close enough to cause conflict.

Correct answer: Continue on to the next exit

If you miss your exit, go on to the next exit. Backing up or using emergency crossover points on the interstate is prohibited, and crossing the median is never allowed.

Correct answer: Wait to be sure it is actually turning before you proceed

Don’t be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a motorcycle — motorcycle signals usually are not self-cancelling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn.

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and yield, then proceed when the way is clear

A flashing red light requires a complete stop, yielding to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, before proceeding when the way is clear.

Correct answer: 50 mph

Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit is 50 mph on any roadway that is gravel or not dustless.

Correct answer: Changing lanes, or pulling in or out of a parking space

Always signal when changing lanes, pulling in or out of a parking space, and pulling into traffic from a parking area or alley.

Correct answer: Is a separate crime and results in license revocation

Any driver on Nebraska roadways has already agreed to submit to a chemical test when requested. Refusing is a separate crime; the administrative sanction for refusal is one year of license revocation.

Correct answer: A teen who lives outside, or attends school outside, a city of 5,000 or more

A School Permit can be issued if the person lives outside a city of 5,000 or more, or attends a school outside a city of 5,000 or more. It is Nebraska’s rural school-driving pathway.

Correct answer: Check traffic before opening the door

After parking, shift to the proper parking gear, set the parking brake, turn off the engine and remove the keys, then check traffic before getting out of the vehicle.

Correct answer: 10 days

You must complete a Driver’s Motor Vehicle Crash Report and send it to the Department of Transportation within ten days if anyone is injured or killed, or property damage meets the reporting threshold.

Correct answer: Drive defensively, because other drivers may not stop

You should drive defensively — other drivers may not stop even if you have the right-of-way. Never insist on the right-of-way and risk a collision.

Correct answer: Adjust your speed, signal, and merge into a gap when safe

The solid white line separates lanes going the same direction. When the broken white line begins, adjust your speed to match traffic, use your turn signal, and merge into a gap when it is safe.

Correct answer: Three or four seconds

Allow more following distance — three or four seconds — behind a motorcycle so the rider has time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. In dry conditions motorcycles can stop more quickly than a car.

Correct answer: Be alert and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light tells drivers to be alert and proceed with caution. It is commonly used to draw attention to a location that requires extra care.

Correct answer: 25 mph

Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit is 25 mph in residential districts and 20 mph in business districts.

Correct answer: When passing another vehicle or preparing for a left turn

A slower vehicle may leave the right lane when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
