Utah Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: You are impaired to a degree that makes it unsafe to operate a vehicle

Utah law states that driving is a violation if you are impaired to the degree that it is unsafe to operate a vehicle, even if you are under the legal limit.

Correct answer: It may be used for driving only and is not valid identification or age verification

A DPC may be issued to certain applicants who are not eligible for a REAL ID license. It is for driving purposes only, is not valid identification or age verification, and expires each year on the applicant’s birthday.

Correct answer: Back slowly and not back for unnecessarily long distances

Back slowly — it is hard to steer while backing. Keep the vehicle on the right-hand side of the road and do not back unnecessarily long distances.

Correct answer: Leave a note with your name, address, and the plate number of the vehicle that caused the crash

If the owner of an unattended vehicle cannot be found, leave a note providing the name and address of the driver and the plate number of the vehicle that caused the crash.

Correct answer: Yield to them before proceeding

You must yield to pedestrians, bicyclists, and others still in the intersection, even when your light turns green. Make sure your path is clear before moving.

Correct answer: A Class C misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $100

A texting violation is a Class C misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $100 — or a Class B misdemeanor if it causes bodily injury or the driver has a previous violation for the same offense.

Correct answer: Reduce your speed, give as much space as practical, and if practical move into a lane not next to it

When approaching a stationary vehicle with flashing hazard lights that is not parked in a legal parking area, you must reduce speed, provide as much space as practical, and if practical make a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the stationary vehicle.

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution, and be prepared to stop

A flashing yellow light means slow down and proceed with caution, being prepared to stop for any traffic.

Correct answer: 80 mph

Rural interstate highways in Utah may be posted at 65, 70, 75, or 80 mph. Utah posts limits up to 80 mph — always obey the posted signs.

Correct answer: Vehicles already traveling in the continuing traffic lane

When merging into a lane of traffic, you must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles in the continuing traffic lane that are close enough to be an immediate threat.

Correct answer: 120 days

On the first conviction of a DUI for a driver 21 and older, the driver license is suspended for 120 days, and for two years for a second or subsequent offense.

Correct answer: Class C

A Class C license is required for a single vehicle under 26,001 pounds used to transport 16 or more occupants (including the driver) or placarded amounts of hazardous materials. Its minimum age is 21.

Correct answer: Always park in a marked parking area and make sure your vehicle is not a hazard

You must ensure your vehicle is not a hazard when parked. Always park in a marked parking area, and if your parking would block the flow of traffic, find another place to park.

Correct answer: Move your vehicle out of the travel lanes to a safe spot, then remain at the scene

If a crash results in property damage only and no injuries, you may move the vehicle out of the travel lanes to an adjacent shoulder or other safe location that does not obstruct traffic, then remain at the scene.

Correct answer: Never assume you have the right-of-way; look at the situation and think about safety

Right-of-way is something you give, not take. Never think you have the right-of-way — always look at the situation, be prepared for others not to yield, and act to avoid a crash.

Correct answer: May pull you over just for that violation

Texting while driving is a primary offense in Utah — officers may pull a driver over if they observe the driver texting.

Correct answer: Attend a four-hour live classroom defensive driving course within 90 days, or your license is suspended for 90 days

If you are convicted of not following the Move Over law, you must attend a four-hour live classroom defensive driving course within 90 days of conviction. If you fail to attend, your license is suspended for 90 days.

Correct answer: Turns are permitted, but you must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians

A flashing yellow arrow means turns are permitted, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians first. Oncoming traffic has a green light, so proceed with caution.

Correct answer: With pavement markings and additional signs

The transition zones between speed bands on Utah interstates are indicated with pavement markings and additional signs so drivers know where the limit changes.

Correct answer: Move to or remain in the right-most lane unless it is blocked

Move to or remain in the right-most lane unless the lane is blocked. The left lane is for passing slower vehicles, not for cruising.
