Nevada Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: Can still be arrested and convicted at a lower level

Even though an alcohol concentration of 0.08% is used as a guide, you can be arrested and convicted with a lower level if you are impaired.

Correct answer: Eight years

A first-time license issued to a person under age 65 is valid for eight years and expires on your birthday. At no time will a license or ID card be valid for more than eight years.

Correct answer: Park for a limited time, usually shown on a sign

Green allows you to park for a limited time. The amount of time is usually shown on a nearby sign.

Correct answer: Only once in a 12-month period

You may attend traffic school only once in a 12-month period to remove points, and it removes a maximum of three points. The record of the conviction still remains on your driving history.

Correct answer: The vehicle going straight that is already in the intersection

A vehicle going straight that is already in the intersection has the right-of-way over one turning left. After yielding and properly signaling, the left-turning vehicle may then proceed.

Correct answer: At least two seconds

Stay at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you at 40 mph or less. This is a minimum — most driving instructors recommend up to four seconds.

Correct answer: A rear-facing child restraint system in the back seat

Children under age two must be secured in a rear-facing child restraint system in the back seat, which supports the head and protects the neck and spine.

Correct answer: A warning of special conditions or hazards ahead

The diamond shape is used for warning signs. Warning signs alert drivers to special conditions or hazards ahead.

Correct answer: 65 mph

The examples of Nevada speed limits list 65 mph for urban freeways and rural highways, and 70+ mph for rural interstate freeways.

Correct answer: Left arm extended straight out horizontally

Left turn: extend the left arm horizontally out the window. Right turn: extend the left arm with the elbow bent upward at about 90 degrees. Slowing/stopping: extend the left arm downward, palm to the rear.

Correct answer: Slowing brain function and delaying hand-eye coordination

Alcohol slows brain functions, affects information processing, and delays hand-eye coordination — all of which increase the likelihood of a crash.

Correct answer: Four years

Driver licenses for individuals aged 65 and older are valid for four years. (Identification cards remain valid for eight years.)

Correct answer: Handicapped (accessible) parking areas

Blue designates handicapped parking areas. You may only park there with a valid disabled placard or license plate.

Correct answer: Your license being revoked, with no demerit points assigned

A conviction for a major traffic offense, such as DUI or causing substantial bodily harm, results in your license being revoked. These offenses are not assigned demerit points.

Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way to all traffic on the main road and to pedestrians

Vehicles entering a main road from a minor road, private road, or driveway must yield the right-of-way to all traffic on the main road and to pedestrians.

Correct answer: Left, right, and left again just before entering

When approaching an intersection, look in all directions — look left, right, and left again just before entering the intersection.

Correct answer: A passenger-side airbag

Never put an infant in the front seat if the car has a passenger-side airbag. In a crash the airbag deploys from the dashboard at about 200 mph and can seriously injure the child.

Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way

The inverted triangle is used for the YIELD sign, telling drivers to yield the right-of-way.

Correct answer: Yes — it can stack up traffic and cause others to make unsafe passes

Driving too slowly can also be unsafe: it can cause traffic to stack up and make other drivers impatient enough to pass unsafely. When there are two or more lanes in one direction, slower traffic must keep right.

Correct answer: The extreme right-hand travel lane or a lane designated for right turns

When turning right, you must be in the extreme right-hand travel lane or a lane designated for right turns, and turn into the right-hand lane of the roadway you are entering.
