Wisconsin Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Time

Time is the only thing that will sober you up. Coffee, showers, and food do not remove alcohol from your system.

Correct answer: Applicants between the ages of 15 and 17

Testing at a DMV customer service center is free. Applicants between ages 15 and 17 may also take the knowledge test online for a $10 fee at knowtodrive.com/wisconsin.

Correct answer: Steer into the oncoming lane of traffic

Always steer in the direction you want the vehicle to go, with a good grip and both hands on the wheel — but do not steer into the oncoming lane of traffic. Some drivers steer away from one collision only to end up in another.

Correct answer: Approaching (oncoming) vehicles

When making a left turn or a U-turn, you must yield to approaching vehicles. Turn only when there is a safe gap.

Correct answer: Call the police so they can issue a tag and know where the deer is

If you hit a deer, call the police so they can issue a tag for it. If you do not want the deer, you need to call them to let them know where it is.

Correct answer: Pull over to the side of the road and stop until it has passed

When you see emergency lights and hear sirens, pull over to the side of the road and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed.

Correct answer: Slow down, check for cross traffic, and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light means slow down, check for cross traffic, and proceed with caution. A flashing yellow arrow means yield first before turning, then proceed with caution.

Correct answer: The traffic ahead will be separated by a physical barrier such as a guardrail

The Divided Highway sign warns that ahead the road will have two lanes traveling in opposite directions separated by a physical barrier such as a guardrail or median.

Correct answer: 35 mph

The maximum speed limit in outlying parts of cities and villages with no posted speed limit is 35 mph.

Correct answer: On any rural two-lane highway, if it is done safely and does not interfere with traffic

You can make a U-turn on any rural two-lane highway if it is done safely and you do not interfere with traffic. Always check for signs that tell you not to make a U-turn.

Correct answer: Ask a sober friend or family member for a ride, or have the bartender call you a cab

Ask a sober friend or family member to give you a ride home, or ask a bartender to call you a cab. Never drive after drinking.

Correct answer: The skills test (road/driving test)

The vision, signs, and knowledge tests need no appointment. Only the skills test (the road/driving test) must be scheduled. Before it, the examiner checks that your car is safe to drive.

Correct answer: When another vehicle is about to hit you from the side or from behind

Sometimes it is best to speed up to avoid a crash — for example, when another vehicle is about to hit you from the side or from behind. Slow down once the danger has passed.

Correct answer: Using its lights and/or sirens

You must yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles when they are using their lights and/or sirens.

Correct answer: You may keep it, or if you do not want it, the next motorist may keep it

If you hit a deer, you can keep it. If you do not want it, the next motorist can keep it. First make sure your vehicle is still safe to drive and record the time and place for insurance and crash reporting.

Correct answer: Stop in the middle of an intersection

Pull over and stop for an approaching emergency vehicle, but do not stop in the middle of the intersection. Clear the intersection first, then pull to the side.

Correct answer: Proceed as if the signal were a stop sign

If a traffic light loses power or is not working right, proceed as if the signal were a stop sign. If a police officer is directing traffic, follow their directions.

Correct answer: A roundabout is ahead

The Roundabout Ahead warning sign shows a counterclockwise symbol in the diamond, with a "Roundabout Ahead" plaque below it. Prepare to slow and yield on entry.

Correct answer: No — you cannot exceed the speed limit to pass

It is illegal to go over the posted speed limit, and you cannot drive over the speed limit to pass other vehicles.

Correct answer: The left-most lane of the road you are turning onto

When there are multiple turn lanes, stay in your lane through the turn. If you start turning from the left-most lane you should end up in the left-most lane; if you start in the middle lane you should end up in the middle lane.
