Nebraska CAR DMV Practice Test 22

A broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line means that traffic in the lane next to the broken line may cross the line to pass, while traffic in the lane next to the solid line may not.

When being passed, stay in your lane and maintain your speed, except in an emergency. In the case of an emergency, speed up, slow down, or leave the road as necessary to prevent a crash.

Under Nebraska law, a bicyclist has the same rights and responsibilities as a motorist and must obey all traffic laws. Drivers of motor vehicles should respect a bicyclist's right to share the roadway.

If you miss your exit, you should take the next exit. Do not stop or back up on the highway, swerve across multiple lanes to try to make the exit at the last second, or cross over the median to turn around. All of these maneuvers are illegal and extremely dangerous.

The flashing overhead lights and stop arm on a school bus will be activated when the bus is stopped to load or unload students. If approaching a bus using these signals, you may not proceed until the red lights have stopped flashing and the stop arm has been retracted. Never pass a school bus that is dropping off or picking up students.

Barricades, vertical panels, drums, and cones are most commonly used to guide drivers safely through work zones. Drivers should use caution when passing through a work zone.

A broken yellow centerline means that a driver may cross the centerline to pass another vehicle on the left as long as there is no oncoming traffic. Drivers should never cross a solid yellow centerline in order to pass.

While automobiles have hydraulic brakes, large trucks and buses have air brakes. Air brakes do not operate as quickly as hydraulic brakes, so large trucks and buses cannot stop as quickly as smaller vehicles can.

When turning left at an intersection, you must yield to oncoming bicycles in the same manner that you would yield to oncoming motor vehicles. Keep your wheels straight while waiting to turn and proceed when the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians.

This sign indicates that a roundabout is ahead. Enter a roundabout at a low speed and yield to existing traffic.

Unless prohibited by a sign, drivers may turn left on a solid red light from a one-way street onto another one-way street. There are no other situations in which a driver may turn left when stopped at a solid red traffic light.

If your wheels drop off the roadway or pavement edge, do not attempt to turn back onto the roadway immediately. Instead, reduce your speed, check traffic, and gradually turn back onto the roadway when it is safe to do so.

Before you return to your driving lane, be sure you are not dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. One way to do this is to look for the vehicle in your inside rearview mirror. When you can see both headlights in your rearview mirror, you may have enough room to return to your driving lane.

You should use your low beam headlights when driving in fog. High beams will reflect back at the driver and lower visibility.

All temporary signs in work zones have orange backgrounds with black writing and/or symbols.

This sign informs drivers that they are leaving a divided roadway and approaching a two-way highway.

Drivers of trucks, buses, vans, or 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.

You must yield to any transit vehicle that is signaling to pull back onto the main roadway after it has stopped to load or unload passengers. Change lanes, slow down, or stop to allow the bus safe re-entry into traffic.

A steady downward green arrow over a traffic lane means you may use the lane indicated.

Stopping suddenly can make it difficult for drivers behind you to avoid a rear-end collision. When stopping, release the accelerator to allow your vehicle to slow. Press the brake pedal by applying steady pressure, activating your brake lights and causing the vehicle to stop smoothly.

Funeral procession escort vehicles are classified as emergency vehicles. Drivers are required to yield to funeral escort vehicles which are displaying proper audio or visual signals.

If you see an emergency vehicle approaching while using its flashing lights, pull over to the right edge of the road and stop. Position yourself parallel to the curb. On one-way streets, drive toward the road edge nearest you.

This sign indicates that there is an intersection with a side road ahead.

This sign warns that a steep downgrade is ahead on the road. Drivers should check their brakes.

If your power steering stops working, additional effort will be required to maintain steering control. Reduce your speed and pull off the roadway to stop in a safe area.
