A slower vehicle is ahead near a hillcrest that hides oncoming traffic. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait for a place with a clear view and enough room for a safe, permitted pass.
An obstructed view can conceal a vehicle in the passing path. A slow vehicle ahead does not make a blind pass safe.

You have overtaken another car. What should you verify before moving back into its lane?
Correct answer: See the front or headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror and leave room to return safely.
Returning too early can cut off the passed vehicle. The handbook uses the rearview view as a clearance check, along with a safe lane change.

Two adjacent lanes may turn left together. What should you do throughout the turn?
Correct answer: Follow your lane’s path and finish without drifting into the adjacent turning vehicle’s lane.
The handbook requires staying in your lane during a multiple-lane turn. Plan any later lane change separately and make it only when safe.

On a one-way street, you are preparing to turn left and no markings authorize additional turning lanes. Which starting lane follows the handbook’s rule?
Correct answer: The lane nearest the left curb.
The general one-way rule is to turn from the lane nearest the appropriate curb. Special signs or pavement directions may permit additional turn lanes.

The only open curb space is directly in front of a private driveway. May you park there and leave the car while visiting a store?
Correct answer: No; do not block the driveway.
The handbook prohibits leaving a vehicle parked in front of a public or private driveway. Flashers do not legalize the obstruction.

You intend to pull from a parallel parking space into the traffic lane. What should you do?
Correct answer: Check traffic and over your shoulder, signal and yield until it is safe to enter.
The driver leaving a parking space does not have the right-of-way. A signal announces an intention; it does not create a safe gap.

You park on the right side of a street facing uphill, with a curb. Which direction should the front wheels point?
Correct answer: Left, away from the curb.
With an uphill curb, wheels turned away help the curb arrest a backward roll. Also secure the transmission and parking brake.

You park on the right side of a hill with no curb. How should you turn the front wheels?
Correct answer: Toward the right roadside, whether facing uphill or downhill.
Without a curb, point the wheels so a roll is directed away from traffic. Wheel direction is an additional precaution, not a replacement for securing the vehicle.

As you use an interstate entrance, what should you do before entering the through lane?
Correct answer: Find a safe gap, adjust speed appropriately and signal before merging.
Prepare for the merge while obeying speed controls. Enter only when the gap is safe; a signal does not force through traffic to make room.

You are approaching your interstate exit. Where should the normal reduction to exit-ramp speed take place?
Correct answer: After leaving the main through lane and entering the exit lane or ramp.
The handbook says to keep pace while on the main road, then reduce speed after moving onto the exit. Signal and plan the departure early.

Before moving into another interstate lane, what should you do?
Correct answer: Check mirrors and the blind spot, signal and change lanes only when the space is clear.
A vehicle may be outside your mirrors’ view. Look for that hidden traffic before beginning the move; signaling does not grant priority.

What minimum advance distance does the Nebraska handbook give for signaling a turn or move right or left?
Correct answer: At least 100 feet.
Signal early enough to communicate the intended movement. Check traffic and use a safe gap; the signal does not grant priority.
