Correct answer: Within 30 days

Under Nevada law you must notify the DMV of any address or name change within 30 days. Name changes must be made in person; address changes may be done online, by mail, or in person (in person if you hold a CDL).

Correct answer: Toward the road shoulder

When headed uphill and there is no curb, turn your front tires toward the road shoulder so the vehicle rolls off the road if it moves.

Correct answer: 20 feet

Nevada law prohibits parking on a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk.

Correct answer: $250

It is illegal for anyone else to park in spaces marked by the International Symbol of Access. The minimum fine for doing so is $250.

Correct answer: Cars should not use the truck apron

Large commercial trucks and trailers are permitted to use the truck apron around the center island to negotiate the tight turning radius. Cars should not use the truck apron.

Correct answer: No more than five feet from the crosswalk, because they use your engine sound as a guide

Do not stop your car more than five feet from the crosswalk. A pedestrian who is blind or visually impaired uses the sound of your engine as a guide. Do not stop in the middle of the crosswalk or honk.

Correct answer: Slow down enough to determine why the other vehicle has slowed or stopped

It is illegal for a motorist to overtake any vehicle that is slowing down or stopped until the motorist slows enough to determine why the other vehicle has slowed or stopped — it may be yielding to a pedestrian.

Correct answer: 500 feet

Change to low beams when you are at least 500 feet before any oncoming vehicle, and at least 300 feet before any vehicle you are following.

Correct answer: Stay on the shoulder until the vehicle is under control, then ease back on

Do not try to swerve back onto the pavement. Take your foot off the gas, grip the wheel firmly, and stay on the shoulder until your vehicle is completely under control before gently easing back onto the road.

Correct answer: Less than 1 inch

Less than 1 inch of water can cause a driver to lose control. Most vehicles can float in just 2 feet of water, and 6 inches can push a fast-moving car off the road.

Correct answer: After coming to a complete stop, where not prohibited by signs, when traffic and pedestrians are clear

Where not prohibited by signs, a right turn may be made on a red light after coming to a complete stop. Signal, then turn when motor and pedestrian traffic is clear and it is safe.

Correct answer: You may finish crossing but must complete it before the countdown reaches zero

When the DON’T WALK/upraised-hand symbol is flashing with a countdown timer, pedestrians already crossing may proceed but must complete the crossing before the countdown reaches zero. Do not start crossing on this signal.

Correct answer: Do not change lanes or pass

When a solid white line separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction, do not change lanes or pass. A solid white line also marks the highway edge and the boundary between a travel lane and the shoulder.

Correct answer: Making a left turn onto or from the highway — not for passing or traveling

Drivers may cross into a center left-turn lane only to make a left turn onto or from the highway. It is not a travel lane and may not be used for passing. You may not travel more than 200 feet in it before turning.

Correct answer: At least 15 feet from the tracks

If there is a stop sign at a railroad crossing, you must stop, and if a train is coming you must stop at least 15 feet from the tracks. Never park within 50 feet of the nearest rail.

Correct answer: In the extreme right-hand lane

Moped operators must remain in the extreme right-hand lane unless there is a single lane, they are preparing to turn left, staying right would be unsafe, or they are directed otherwise by police.

Correct answer: Traveling in the same direction as the bus

On divided highways, you are only required to stop for a school bus when you are traveling in the same direction as the bus.

Correct answer: They use the sound of your engine as a guide; do not stop more than five feet from the crosswalk

A pedestrian who is blind or visually impaired uses the sound of your engine as a guide, so do not stop more than five feet from the crosswalk and do not honk at them.
