You are preparing for a normal right turn from a single turn lane. Which path is appropriate?
Correct answer: Approach from the rightmost portion of your lane without swinging left, then enter the closest lawful receiving lane.
The handbook directs drivers to turn from the proper edge of their lane and enter the closest lane. A wide swing can mislead or endanger nearby traffic.

Your mirror shows no vehicle in the lane you want. What should you do before moving over?
Correct answer: Signal, check the blind spot in that direction, and recheck that the gap remains safe.
Mirrors do not cover every nearby area. A brief shoulder check and another assessment of the gap help detect a vehicle entering the same space.

An entrance ramp has an adequate acceleration lane. How should you join expressway traffic?
Correct answer: Use the lane to approach traffic speed, find a safe gap, check and signal, and yield while merging.
The acceleration lane provides space to prepare for a compatible-speed merge. Through traffic is not required to yield its lane to an entering vehicle.

You are approaching your expressway exit and have moved into the appropriate lane. Where should ordinary exit slowing begin?
Correct answer: In the deceleration lane, then continue reducing speed for the ramp.
Plan the exit early and signal. Using the deceleration lane for slowing reduces interference with through traffic while allowing a safe ramp speed.

You pass your intended expressway exit. What is the safe response?
Correct answer: Continue to a later lawful exit and adjust the route.
The handbook prohibits backing on the expressway and stopping there except for an emergency. A missed exit is a routing problem, not permission for those maneuvers.

You follow a slower car near a hillcrest that hides oncoming traffic. May you begin passing to the left?
Correct answer: No; wait until there is an adequate clear view and the pass can be completed safely.
A hidden oncoming vehicle can enter the passing path. A lawful pass requires sufficient clear view and room; slow traffic ahead does not supply them.

A car starts a lawful pass of your vehicle. What should you avoid doing?
Correct answer: Increasing your speed while the other vehicle is overtaking you.
Nevada prohibits increasing speed while being overtaken. Cooperation helps the other driver finish without an unnecessarily prolonged conflict.

The car ahead is waiting to turn left. The only available path on its right is an unpaved shoulder outside the main traveled way. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait; do not use that shoulder to pass.
A left-turning vehicle does not authorize driving off the pavement to pass. The unpaved shoulder in this scenario is not a lawful passing path.

You park facing uphill beside a curb. How should you position the front wheels and secure the car?
Correct answer: Turn the front wheels left, away from the curb, and use the parking brake and the appropriate gear or Park.
With an uphill curb, wheels turned away from it help the curb arrest backward movement. Wheel position supplements, rather than replaces, securing the vehicle.

You park on the right side of a hill where there is no curb. Which wheel position helps keep a rolling car out of traffic?
Correct answer: Turn the wheels right, toward the roadside, whether facing uphill or downhill.
Without a curb, the objective is to direct any movement away from the traveled road. Also set the parking brake and select the appropriate gear or Park.

You are pulling away from the right curb into traffic. What should you do?
Correct answer: Check traffic and the left blind spot, signal, and enter only when the lane is clear for a safe distance.
Reentering from the curb is a lane-entry maneuver. Check beyond the mirror, including for cyclists, and yield until a safe opening exists.

How far in advance must you continuously signal a turn in a business or residential district, and in other areas?
Correct answer: At least 100 feet in a business or residential district and 300 feet in other areas.
Nevada specifies 100 feet in business or residential districts and 300 feet in other areas. Weather does not remove this requirement.

You are waiting for oncoming traffic before making a left turn. How should you hold the front wheels while waiting?
Correct answer: Keep them straight until you are ready to begin the turn.
Straight wheels reduce the risk of being pushed into oncoming traffic if struck from behind. Signal your intention without pre-turning the wheels.

You intend to turn left off a highway using its shared center turn lane. What is the maximum distance you may travel in that lane before the turn?
Correct answer: 200 feet.
The shared center lane is for the left-turn maneuver, not for bypassing a queue or traveling toward a distant turn. Nevada limits travel before turning off to 200 feet.

You safely turn left onto a highway into its shared center turn lane. What limit applies before merging with traffic?
Correct answer: Do not travel more than 50 feet in that lane; merge only when safe.
Nevada permits the left-entry use but limits travel afterward to 50 feet before merging. The distance limit does not authorize an unsafe merge.

No separate rule or sign prohibits your left turn across no-passing striping into a driveway. What conditions are required for this turn?
Correct answer: Give the required signal, turn safely, and do not impede oncoming or following traffic.
Nevada's limited left-turn permission is not permission to overtake in a no-passing zone. Preserve the signal, safety, no-impediment and other-prohibition conditions.

At a hillcrest, a car making a U-turn would not be visible to approaching drivers from either direction within 500 feet. What should you do?
Correct answer: Do not make the U-turn there; choose a safe lawful location.
Nevada prohibits reversing direction on a curve or near a crest under this 500-foot visibility condition.

Children are present in a school zone while its restrictions are in effect. May you make a U-turn to reach the other curb?
Correct answer: No; use another lawful route or turning location.
The school-zone U-turn restriction applies to this active, children-present situation. A pickup purpose does not create an exception.

To avoid a red signal, you propose cutting through a corner parking lot and entering the intersecting street. Is that permitted?
Correct answer: No; Nevada prohibits using public or private property to avoid the red signal.
An open driveway is not permission to evade a red signal by cutting through property.

Parallel parking is allowed along the curb, but a proposed space is only 10 feet from a fire hydrant. May you park there?
Correct answer: No; keep at least 15 feet from the hydrant in this parallel-parking situation.
Nevada prohibits parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant where parallel parking is permitted. The scenario does not involve the separate angle-parking provision.
