Nebraska CAR DMV Practice Test 7

Yellow-green signs are warning signs specific to pedestrians, bicycles, playgrounds, schools, and school buses. Be especially alert to pedestrians and children when near one of these signs.

Drive below the posted speed limit when safety demands it. Some traffic, weather, or visibility conditions may require you to drive as slowly as 10 miles per hour.

When combined with safety belts, airbags provide improved protection. They are an additional safety feature that do not replace safety belts. Because airbags pose a risk of injury to children, passengers age 12 and under should ride in the rear seat.

If you are in a lane corresponding to a traffic signal displaying a flashing yellow arrow, you should proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow after yielding to approaching traffic and/or pedestrians.

Regulatory signs display laws that drivers must always obey. Right turns are not permitted where this sign is present.

It is illegal to operate a vehicle that is equipped with a television screen that is visible to the driver.

When driving near a blind pedestrian who is carrying a white cane or walking with a guide dog, you must slow down, yield the right-of-way, and then proceed with caution. Be prepared to stop your vehicle in order to prevent injury or danger to the pedestrian.

One strategy to avoid driving while impaired or intoxicated is to arrange for a ride home with a friend who does not drink. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower cannot reduce your blood alcohol content or reduce the effects of alcohol. On average, it takes about an hour for the body to eliminate the alcohol from a single drink.

It is unlawful to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. In Nebraska, driving under the influence is a major factor contributing to crashes resulting in death and/or serious injury.

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

Yellow lines are used in the center of the road to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

When being approached by an emergency vehicle that is using its lights and/or sirens, you must immediately pull to the right side of the road and allow it to pass.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. They alert you to conditions that are immediately ahead. This sign warns drivers about an upcoming winding road.

A red arrow means "stop." You must remain stopped until a green light or green arrow appears. Do not turn against a red arrow.

This sign is placed at the beginning of one-way streets and ramps to indicate that you must not continue driving in your current direction.

The speed limit on a county road without a hard surface is ordinarily 50 miles per hour. If another speed limit is posted, follow the posted limit.

At a four-way stop, you must yield the right-of-way to drivers who arrived before you. Wait your turn to enter the intersection.

A round sign means you are approaching a railroad crossing. This sign is posted a few hundred feet in front of the tracks and tells drivers to slow down, look, listen, and prepare to stop.

Because of their size, trucks need longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

You should not use cruise control when driving on snowy or icy roads. Your tires may lose contact with the road and you will no longer have control of your vehicle.

This sign indicates that left turns are prohibited.

Stop lines are white lines painted across the pavement at intersections. You must stop at the stop line when a pedestrian is present or when a sign or signal requires you to stop.

When stopped for a traffic violation or at an equipment check, the driver is responsible for producing their license, proof of registration, and proof of insurance. Drivers are required to have all three of these documents in a vehicle when it is being driven.

A crash must be reported to the Department of Roads within 10 days if it has resulted in any deaths or injuries, or if it appears to have resulted in more than $1,000 in property damage.

Check the traffic behind your vehicle no less than once every 10 seconds. It is important to know what surrounding traffic is doing while you are changing lanes, backing up, slowing down, or driving down steep hills.
