A vehicle in the adjacent lane has stopped at a crosswalk. You cannot see whether someone is crossing in front of it. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow and be prepared to stop; do not pass until you know it is not stopped for a crossing pedestrian.
The stopped vehicle can conceal a pedestrian. Nevada prohibits passing until you determine it is not stopped to permit a pedestrian to cross.

A pedestrian crosses unexpectedly outside a marked crosswalk and does not yield. What should you do?
Correct answer: Use due care to avoid a collision, slowing or stopping as needed.
Having priority does not remove the duty to use due care to avoid a collision. Slow or stop as necessary when a pedestrian creates a hazard.

A pedestrian using a white cane begins crossing near your path. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and allow enough time and space for the pedestrian to cross safely.
Nevada protects a blind pedestrian using a service animal or carrying a white cane, including one tipped with red. Yield and stop if needed to prevent injury.

At an uncontrolled crosswalk, a pedestrian has reached your half of the road. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield, slowing or stopping as needed to allow a safe crossing.
The duty covers a pedestrian on your half of the highway, or approaching so closely from the opposite half as to be in danger.

Two streets meet at a T-intersection without painted crosswalk lines. Should you assume pedestrians have no crosswalk there?
Correct answer: No; a crosswalk can exist at the intersection even without painted lines.
The handbook identifies unmarked crosswalks where streets intersect, including T-intersections. Watch for pedestrians and apply the yielding rules.

Children have reached the far sidewalk, but the crossing guard remains in the roadway controlling the crossing. What should you do?
Correct answer: Remain stopped until all persons, including the guard, have cleared the highway.
Nevada requires the driver to wait for all persons, including the crossing guard, to clear before proceeding.

You approach a bicyclist on a road with two lanes in your direction. The immediately adjacent left lane is available and safe. How should you pass?
Correct answer: Move into the immediately adjacent left lane to pass safely.
When more than one same-direction lane exists, Nevada requires moving into the immediate left lane if it is available and safe.

On a road with only one lane in your direction, a lawful safe bicycle pass is available. What lateral clearance is required?
Correct answer: At least 3 feet between any portion of your vehicle and the bicycle.
The single-lane rule requires at least 3 feet of clearance and prohibits returning right until safely clear. If the pass cannot be made lawfully and safely, wait.

You are about to turn right and a bicyclist is traveling straight beside your vehicle. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and let the cyclist continue rather than turning across the bicycle's path.
Do not cut across a cyclist's path while turning. Check for bicycles approaching from the side or rear before committing to the turn.

You park beside a travel lane and are about to open the driver's door. What should you do?
Correct answer: Check for approaching traffic and cyclists before opening it into their path.
A door can suddenly block a cyclist's path. Check behind and to the side, then open only when safe.

Traffic is queued at an intersection. May you drive through it in the bicycle lane merely to bypass the queue?
Correct answer: No; the bicycle lane is not an extra through lane for cars.
Nevada limits vehicle entry into a bicycle lane to specified situations. Simply bypassing a queue and traveling through the intersection is not one of them.

A motorcycle is using the center of your lane ahead. May you pull alongside within that lane to pass?
Correct answer: No; give the motorcycle its full lane and use a safe, lawful passing maneuver.
A motorcycle needs room to maneuver around hazards and should have the full lane. Its narrow shape does not create an extra lane for a car.

You want to turn left across an approaching motorcycle. Why should you be especially cautious when judging the gap?
Correct answer: Its small profile can make its speed and distance harder to judge.
Do not assume a small-looking motorcycle is far away or moving slowly. Wait until the turn can be made without crossing its path unsafely.

A large truck signals right and moves slightly left to prepare for the corner. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stay back and do not squeeze between the truck and the curb.
Large trucks may need extra room for a right turn. The space beside the curb can disappear as the truck and trailer turn.

You cannot see a truck driver's face in the truck's side mirror while following closely. What is the safer response?
Correct answer: Increase separation and avoid remaining in the truck's blind area.
Large vehicles have extensive blind areas. Better spacing and avoiding those areas reduce the chance of an unseen conflict.

After passing a large truck, when should you return to its lane?
Correct answer: After you can see the whole front of the truck in your mirror and have enough safe space.
Leave a safe gap in front of a truck. Its braking space is not a buffer for cutting in, and sudden slowing after a pass is hazardous.

A school bus stops on an undivided road with its red lights flashing. You approach from the opposite direction. What must you do?
Correct answer: Stop before reaching the bus and remain stopped until the red lights cease.
The stop duty applies to both directions on this undivided road. Do not replace the red-light rule with a guess that all children are clear.

A school bus displays flashing red lights on the opposite roadway of a divided highway separated by a physical median. Does that bus alone require you to stop?
Correct answer: No; the opposite-roadway exception applies, but keep watching for hazards.
The exception is for a bus on a different roadway of a divided highway. Extra lanes alone do not establish that separation.

An emergency vehicle using its siren and emergency lights approaches behind you. What should you do?
Correct answer: Move as far right as practical, clear of an intersection, and stop until it passes.
Yield, pull close to the right edge clear of the intersection, and stop until the emergency vehicle passes. Do not stop on a shoulder specifically marked for authorized emergency-vehicle use.

A tow truck with warning lights is stopped at a roadside incident beside your lane. Another lane is safely available. What should you do?
Correct answer: Reduce to a reasonable safe speed, proceed cautiously, prepare to stop, and move to a nonadjacent lane.
Nevada's incident rule requires both cautious speed and a lane away when possible. A lane change alone does not replace the other duties.
