South Carolina Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: 0.02 percent

Vision — the most important sense for driving — is impacted at 0.02 percent BAC for all drivers. Alcohol blurs vision, slows focus, and reduces your ability to judge distance and speed.

Correct answer: Class M

A Class M license allows you to operate a two-wheel motorcycle, a motorcycle with a detachable sidecar, or a three-wheel vehicle. A Class D license does not cover a two-wheel motorcycle.

Correct answer: Before you start to drive

Adjust your seat and mirrors before you start to drive. This lets you see clearly, keeps full control of the pedals and steering wheel, and allows proper space for air bag deployment.

Correct answer: Still steer your vehicle

ABS lets you stop without skidding and keep steering control. You can still steer your vehicle while ABS is activated, as long as you keep pressure on the brake pedal.

Correct answer: Drivers in the opposing traffic lane

When making a left turn, you must yield the right-of-way to drivers in the opposing (oncoming) traffic lane before you complete the turn.

Correct answer: Every 100 miles or 2 hours

Plan to stop about every 100 miles or 2 hours on long trips. If you start feeling tired, pull off at the next exit or rest area for a 15- to 20-minute nap.

Correct answer: You are traveling behind the bus

On a four-lane or multi-lane highway, you must stop only when you are traveling behind the bus. You do not have to stop when meeting a stopped bus while traveling the opposite direction on such a road.

Correct answer: Behind the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection until the light turns green

A red light means stop before entering the intersection. You must wait behind the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection until the light turns green.

Correct answer: Ahead, to the sides, and behind your vehicle

You must know what is happening around your vehicle before you start it and while driving. Look ahead, to the sides, and behind the vehicle.

Correct answer: Yield to oncoming traffic and turn from the left-most portion of your lane

When making a left turn, yield to oncoming traffic and always turn from the left-most portion of your lane.

Correct answer: Can impair your driving in ways similar to alcohol, so check the label

Many over-the-counter and prescription drugs can affect your reflexes, judgment, vision, and alertness like alcohol. Check the label before driving, and ask your doctor or pharmacist about side effects.

Correct answer: Only one, endorsed for one or more classifications

Each qualified driver has only one driver's license, endorsed for one or more classifications. It is illegal to have more than one valid driver's license.

Correct answer: At least 10 inches

Keep at least 10 inches between your chest and the steering wheel. Do not move the seat so far forward that you cannot easily steer, and do not recline the seat — this protects you if the air bag deploys.

Correct answer: Release pressure from the brake or accelerator and steer where you want to go

When you begin to skid you have little control. Release pressure from the brake or accelerator, look where you want to go, and steer the vehicle in that direction.

Correct answer: The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right

At a four-way intersection controlled by stop signs, if both of you arrive at the same time, you yield to the driver on your right. This is the Same Time Rule.

Correct answer: Pull off at the next exit or rest area and take a short nap

If you feel tired, stop driving and pull off at the next exit or rest area for a 15- to 20-minute nap, or find a place to sleep for the night. The best way to avoid fatigue is to get plenty of rest.

Correct answer: After the lights stop flashing and the stop arm is withdrawn, moving slowly and watching for children

When you have stopped, do not proceed until the bus moves or the red lights are no longer flashing and the stop arm is no longer visible. Then proceed slowly, watching for children.

Correct answer: After a complete stop, unless a sign prohibits it, yielding to pedestrians and other traffic

Traffic facing a red signal may turn right except where a sign prohibits it. You must first stop before the crosswalk and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.

Correct answer: When changing lanes, slowing down or stopping, or entering an intersection

It is important to be aware of traffic behind your vehicle, especially when changing lanes, slowing down or stopping, or entering an intersection. Use your mirrors to check this traffic.

Correct answer: Identify and enter the lane from which you will turn, and stay in it until the turn is complete

When multiple lanes turn the same direction, identify and enter the lane from which you will turn, and stay in that lane until the turn is completed.
