1. You are behind a slow vehicle on a two-lane road and a marked passing lane begins a mile ahead. What is the sensible choice?
Show answer
Answer D: Wait for the passing lane rather than using the opposing lane

3. You are approaching a driveway where a car waits to pull out and the driver is looking your way. What should you assume?
Show answer

-
4. A driver passes this sign and the signal beyond it is already showing green. What is the safest response?
Show answer
Answer C: Ease off the accelerator and be ready to stop, because an indication that has been showing for a while is about to change

-
11. What should you expect while driving through a parking lot?
Show answer
Answer D: Pedestrians and vehicles moving from any direction, so drive slowly

15. A large group has been divided into smaller groups. What should be done between them?

Accumulating 12 points in two years triggers an automatic six-month revocation of the Nebraska operator's license.
-
19. You are driving at night through heavy falling snow. Which headlight setting works better and why?
Show answer
Answer C: Low beams, because high beams bounce off the falling flakes back at you
Falling snow reflects light the way fog does, so high beams build a white wall of glare while low beams still give a usable view.
-

-
22. Beyond the point this sign refers to, which movement becomes unlawful?
Show answer
Answer D: Driving on the far side of the separation, against the flow
Once the two directions are separated, each roadway carries one-way traffic, so crossing to the other side means driving into oncoming vehicles.
-
23. What does black ice usually look like from the driver seat?
Show answer
Answer C: A patch of pavement that simply looks wet or slightly glossy
Black ice is clear, so you see the dark road through it and read it as a wet patch. In freezing weather, treat any wet looking patch as ice.
-
24. How should the brake light be checked before a ride?
Show answer
Answer D: Confirm that the hand lever and the foot pedal each switch it on
Many motorcycles use a separate switch for each brake control, so both the lever and the pedal have to be tested one at a time.
