Wisconsin Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: Absolute Sobriety law

Wisconsin’s under-21 zero-tolerance rule is called Absolute Sobriety: drivers under 21 may not have any measurable alcohol in their system while driving.

Correct answer: 12 (80%)

The Highway Signs Test has 15 questions, and you must answer 12 (80%) correctly to pass. It is a distinct test from the knowledge test, and no appointment is needed for it.

Correct answer: Stop, turn, or speed up

You have three options to try to avoid a crash: stop quickly, turn away from the danger, or — when a vehicle is about to hit you from the side or behind — speed up.

Correct answer: Vehicles coming from the right

At an uncontrolled intersection with no signals or traffic lights, yield to vehicles coming from the right.

Correct answer: Watch for more than one — deer often travel together

Watch for more than one deer. Deer are usually in rural areas, but they may wander into towns or cities and can cross anywhere, at any time.

Correct answer: Be alert and allow extra room — they may run into the road without looking

Be alert. Children or others may run out into the road without looking. Allow extra room for pedestrians, confused drivers, or people who cannot see you.

Correct answer: Come to a full stop, then go when it is safe to do so

A flashing red light — steady or as an arrow — means come to a full stop and proceed only when it is safe, just like a stop sign.

Correct answer: Slow down — the road ahead might be slippery

The Slippery When Wet sign warns that the road ahead might be slippery. Slow down when you see it.

Correct answer: 25 miles per hour

Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in residential areas is 25 miles per hour.

Correct answer: They may cross over the center line while making the turn

Leave extra space for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, as they may cross over the center line during a turn.

Correct answer: 0.08 or more

For adult drivers, Wisconsin defines the prohibited alcohol concentration as 0.08 or more. Driving with an alcohol concentration at or above that level is an OWI offense.

Correct answer: 40 (80%)

The knowledge test includes 50 questions, and you need to answer 40 (80%) correctly to pass. It takes about 45 minutes and no appointment is required.

Correct answer: Apply firm, continuous pressure to the brake pedal until stopped or the danger has passed

With ABS, apply firm, continuous pressure to the brake pedal and continue until the vehicle has stopped or the danger has passed. ABS keeps the wheels from locking up so you stop with little or no skidding.

Correct answer: The driver on the road that ends must yield to cross traffic

At an uncontrolled T-intersection, you must yield to the cross traffic on the through road.

Correct answer: Slow down, use your horn, and be ready to stop

If you see a deer’s eyes, slow down. Use your horn and be ready to stop.

Correct answer: Illegal, unless you are crossing it

It is illegal to drive on a sidewalk unless you are crossing it, such as when entering or leaving a driveway.

Correct answer: The light is about to turn red — slow down and stop before the intersection if you can

A steady yellow light means the light is about to change to red. Slow down and stop before entering the intersection. If you are already in the intersection when it appears, continue through — do not stop.

Correct answer: Stop lights are ahead — be ready to slow down and stop

The Signal Ahead sign means stop lights are ahead. Be ready to slow down and stop.

Correct answer: 15 miles per hour

The normal speed limit in a school zone when children are present is 15 miles per hour.

Correct answer: Straight, so you are not pushed into oncoming traffic if hit from behind

If you must wait for traffic to pass, keep your steering wheel straight. If you turn your wheel to the left and someone hits you from behind, you will be pushed into oncoming traffic.
