Nebraska CAR DMV Practice Test 15

This sign indicates that a divided highway begins ahead.

Drivers should use low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver, making it difficult to see.

If you are already within an intersection when the traffic light changes from green to yellow, you should continue moving and clear the intersection safely.

Fatigue and being under the influence of alcohol have similar effects on your ability to drive safely. For example, being awake for 18 hours impairs your driving about as much as a blood alcohol level of 0.05 percent. Being awake for 24 hours in a row has the same effect on your driving as a blood alcohol level of 0.10 percent.

When turning left, drivers must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic. Drivers must also always yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers who are already in the intersection.

This sign indicates parking spaces that are reserved for vehicles displaying Persons with Disabilities license plates, Disabled Veteran license plates, and/or disabled parking placards.

Drivers of trucks, buses, vans, and any vehicles pulling campers or trailers may not be able to see you if you are driving directly behind them. Increase your following distance when driving behind one of these vehicles. Additionally, large vehicles can block your view of the road, so increase your following distance to look around the sides of the vehicle and see the road ahead.

A driver should allow a space of at least three seconds between their vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Drivers should always increase their following distance when conditions are less than perfect.

After coming to a complete stop, you may turn left at a red light only if you are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street. Only make the turn if there are no posted signs prohibiting such a turn.

An octagonal (eight-sided) sign always means "Stop." Come to a complete stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians that have the right-of-way, and proceed when the way is clear.

It is unlawful to drive at night using only your parking lights. Drivers are required to use their headlights when driving in the dark.

When driving on an interstate highway, be aware of upcoming on-ramps. When traffic permits, move out of the right-hand lane to allow vehicles to enter from the on-ramps to your right.

Solid yellow lines on two-lane roads indicate zones where passing is prohibited. If a solid yellow line appears next to a broken yellow line, drivers in the lane nearest to the solid yellow line may not pass. In some instances, both yellow lines will be solid, indicating that it is not safe to pass from either direction.

White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Broken lines may be crossed with care.

White lines separate traffic lanes traveling in the same direction. You may cross broken white lines to pass, as long as the passing lane is clear.

If you are turning left from a two-way street onto a one-way street, you should complete the turn into the lane closest to the lane you have just left.

When entering a roundabout, you must yield to pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles that are already in the roundabout.

Signal your intention to turn at least 100 feet before the point where you plan to change directions. This allows other drivers time to safely react to your movements.

A red traffic light means that you must stop before entering the intersection. You must at any stop line and before entering any crosswalk.

Warning signs are usually diamond-shaped with black markings on a yellow background. They alert drivers to upcoming hazards. This sign warns drivers to be extra careful when the pavement is wet because the road may become slippery, making vehicles more difficult to control.

While it can create special problems for large vehicles, strong wind can cause problems for all drivers. Wind can lower visibility by blowing dirt and dust into the roadway, but it can sometimes also physically move a vehicle.

Smoking while driving can create dangerous distractions by causing you to take your hands off the wheel and/or your eyes off the road.

On an interstate highway, slow traffic should keep to the right. The left lane is intended for use by faster-moving vehicles to pass slower-moving vehicles.

Nebraska has an Implied Consent Law. This means that by driving in the state, you have agreed to undergo a chemical test if asked to do so by a law enforcement officer. If you refuse to submit to such a test, your license can be administratively revoked for one year.

Fleeing from a law enforcement officer to avoid arrest or citation for a misdemeanor or ordinance violation is itself a misdemeanor. Fleeing from a law enforcement officer to avoid arrest or citation for a felony is itself a felony. In either case, the driver's license may be revoked.
