Nevada DMV Exam Simulator

Correct answer: Administrative (DMV action) and criminal (court action)

There are two types of DUI penalties: administrative action taken by the DMV regardless of the court findings, and criminal action taken by the court system.

Correct answer: A card that lets a person drive legally without needing to prove legal presence or provide a Social Security Number

A Social Security Number is not necessary to obtain a Driver Authorization Card. The DAC lets a person drive legally in Nevada but is not valid for federal or state identification purposes.

Correct answer: About 5 feet longer

Make sure the space is big enough for your vehicle — about 5 feet longer than your car — before you start to park.

Correct answer: Are added to your Nevada driving record

Information about traffic crashes and convictions becomes part of your driving record, and even violations that occur in other states are added to your Nevada driving record.

Correct answer: Counterclockwise

All traffic moves in one direction around a roundabout — counterclockwise. It moves traffic through the intersection without the aid of traffic signals.

Correct answer: Assist the driver, but not drive the vehicle by themselves

ADAS technologies assist the driver but do not drive the vehicle by themselves. They help with tasks like staying in the lane and avoiding crashes.

Correct answer: The blind spots where cars "disappear" from the driver’s view

The no-zone is the area around large commercial trucks or buses where cars disappear into blind spots. If you cannot see the driver’s face in their mirror, they cannot see you.

Correct answer: Direction or guidance

Green means direction or guidance. Red means no, do not, or stop; yellow or yellow-green means general warning; white means a regulation, law, or rule.

Correct answer: At least two seconds behind the vehicle ahead

If you are driving 40 mph or less, stay at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. This is a minimum; most driving instructors recommend up to four seconds.

Correct answer: Check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder

Use your rear and side-view mirrors, signal, and then check your blind spots by looking over your shoulder before changing lanes when traffic is clear.

Correct answer: Take your license immediately as an administrative penalty

Under the Illegal Per Se Law, a test showing 0.08% or more (or any detectable controlled substance) is an administrative penalty and the officer can take your license immediately.

Correct answer: Four years

A Driver Authorization Card is valid for four years and expires on your birthday. You must always carry your DAC while operating a motor vehicle, and all renewals and address changes must be done in person.

Correct answer: Set your parking brake

Once you are correctly positioned, stop, shift to park (or to a gear in a manual car) and set the parking brake.

Correct answer: Seven years

Most violations are reportable to your insurance company for three years, but convictions related to DUI stay on your record for seven years.

Correct answer: Traffic already circulating within the roundabout

Entering traffic must yield the right-of-way to the traffic already circulating within the roundabout. Wait for a gap in traffic before entering.

Correct answer: Check your mirrors and look over your shoulder

Do not become complacent and dependent on these systems. Always check your side and rear-view mirrors and look over your shoulder before changing lanes or backing.

Correct answer: You can see the whole front of the truck in your rearview mirror

Large trucks need nearly twice the time and distance to stop as cars. When passing, look for the whole front of the truck in your rearview mirror before pulling in — and then do not slow down.

Correct answer: Behind the stop sign at the crosswalk or stop line

A stop sign means come to a full stop behind the stop sign at the crosswalk or stop line, then give right-of-way to pedestrians and cross traffic before moving forward.

Correct answer: Count "one thousand one, one thousand two" from when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point

Start counting "one thousand one" when the rear of the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point such as a sign. If you reach the point before counting "one thousand two," you are following too closely.

Correct answer: In an intersection

Do not change lanes in an intersection. Signal ahead 100 feet on city streets (300 feet on highways) and change lanes only when traffic is clear.

Correct answer: 185 days

The administrative Illegal Per Se action — for 0.08% or a detectable controlled substance, or 0.02% for a driver under 21 — results in a driver license revocation of 185 days.

Correct answer: It cannot be used as federal or state identification or to determine eligibility for benefits

A DAC is not valid for federal or state identification purposes and cannot be used to determine eligibility for any benefits, licenses, or services. Information used to obtain it is not used to determine immigration status.

Correct answer: Toward or into the curb or road shoulder

When headed downhill, turn your front tires toward or into the curb or road shoulder so the car rolls into the curb if it moves.

Correct answer: Not automatically reinstated — you must reapply and pay reinstatement fees

Licenses are not automatically reinstated. You must reapply at a DMV office, present the required documents, meet any other requirements, and pay the reinstatement fees.

Correct answer: The right lane

Use the right lane to turn right or to go straight. Use the left lane to turn left, complete a U-turn, or go straight.
