New Hampshire Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: .08% or higher

A driver is considered legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or higher — or .02% or higher if the driver is under 21 years old.

Correct answer: A certified driving instructor, parent, legal guardian, or responsible licensed adult who is 25 or older

The person being taught must be accompanied by someone holding a license of the appropriate class who is a certified driving instructor, parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult at least 25 years old.

Correct answer: The New Hampshire Department of Transportation

To get an E-ZPass transponder, drivers contact the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, which administers the E-ZPass program.

Correct answer: Names, addresses, driver's license numbers, plate numbers, vehicle make/model/year, and insurance information

Get names and addresses, driver's license numbers and states of issue, plate numbers, the make, model, and year of the vehicles, insurance information if applicable, and the names and addresses of witnesses.

Correct answer: Oncoming traffic and pedestrians that are close enough to be a hazard

A left-turning driver must yield to oncoming vehicles and to pedestrians in or entering the crosswalk before completing the turn.

Correct answer: Get adequate sleep — the average person needs 7 to 9 hours

To avoid fatigue, get adequate sleep (7 to 9 hours for the average person), stop at a rest area for a 15-to-20-minute nap when drowsy, avoid late-night driving, and share driving with a companion.

Correct answer: Add one additional foot of clearance for every 10 mph above 30 mph

The presumed reasonable clearance is at least 3 feet at 30 mph or less, with one additional foot of clearance required for every 10 miles per hour above 30 mph.

Correct answer: The light is about to turn red; stop if you can do so safely

A steady yellow warns that the signal is about to turn red. Stop if you can do so safely; do not try to beat the light.

Correct answer: 55 mph

Where no other limit applies and none is posted, New Hampshire’s default limit for other locations is 55 mph.

Correct answer: The right lane, leaving left lanes for passing and faster traffic

Slower vehicles keep right. The left lane is intended for passing and faster-moving traffic; move right when you are not passing.

Correct answer: .02%

It is illegal for an operator under 21 to have physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or more, or while impaired by any substance.

Correct answer: In the seat beside the person who is being taught to drive

The accompanying licensed adult must occupy the seat beside the person being taught to drive, so they can help control the vehicle if needed.

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and stay in the vehicle

At staffed cash lanes, come to a complete stop, obey the posted speed limit within the plaza, and do not get out of your vehicle.

Correct answer: There is a fatality, injuries, or combined property damage over $1,000

NH law requires an accident report be filed with the Division of Motor Vehicles within fifteen (15) days if there is a fatality, injuries, or combined property damage totaling more than $1,000.

Correct answer: Yield to vehicles already on the roadway and to pedestrians on the sidewalk

A driver entering or crossing a roadway from a driveway, alley, or private road must yield to traffic already on the road and to pedestrians.

Correct answer: Anything that takes your attention away from driving — including mental activities that take your mind off the road

A distraction is anything that takes a driver's attention away from driving. Taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel is dangerous, and mental activities that take your mind off driving are just as dangerous.

Correct answer: Yield to the bicyclist as you would to any other vehicle operator

Bicyclists have the same rights as drivers, so yield to bicyclists in intersections just as you would yield to another vehicle.

Correct answer: Stop completely, then proceed when safe — as you would at a stop sign

A flashing red signal has the same meaning as a stop sign: stop completely, then proceed only when it is safe to do so.

Correct answer: 65 mph

The general maximum on New Hampshire’s interstate system and the central and eastern turnpikes is 65 mph where the road is four-lane divided.

Correct answer: Left turns (and U-turns where legal) by traffic from either direction

A two-way left-turn lane in the center is only for making left turns; it is not a travel or passing lane. Vehicles from both directions share it to turn left.
