You and a vehicle on your right reach a four-way stop at the same time. Your paths conflict. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield to the vehicle on your right.
When vehicles arrive at a four-way stop together, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Do not assume every other driver will follow the rule.

You and an oncoming car have the same permission to enter. You want to turn left while the other car will continue straight. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield to the oncoming car before turning across its path.
A left-turning driver yields to opposing traffic whose path would be crossed. A turn signal communicates intent but does not give priority.

At an uncontrolled intersection, you and a vehicle to your right approach at about the same time and your paths conflict. What is the proper response?
Correct answer: Yield to the vehicle on your right while checking that the intersection is safe.
The handbook gives the vehicle on the right priority in this situation. Road appearance and vehicle size do not determine the right-of-way.

You approach an intersection and see a vehicle already lawfully crossing in your path. What should you do?
Correct answer: Let that vehicle clear before entering.
Yield to traffic already in the intersection. The right-side rule for simultaneous arrivals does not authorize a collision with a vehicle already crossing.

You are leaving a driveway across a sidewalk and onto a street. To whom must you yield?
Correct answer: Pedestrians using the sidewalk and traffic on the street.
A driver entering from a driveway must check the sidewalk and roadway. Crossing one does not grant priority over the other.

You approach a roundabout while vehicles are circulating through the lane you would enter. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield to circulating traffic and enter when there is a safe gap.
Roundabout entry traffic yields to vehicles already circulating. Select the proper approach lane and avoid forcing another driver to brake.

You are circulating in a roundabout in the lane designated for your exit. What is the appropriate exit procedure?
Correct answer: Follow the lane guidance, watch for conflicts, and signal right as you prepare to exit.
Roundabouts circulate counterclockwise. Lane guidance and a right exit signal help others anticipate your movement; they do not remove the duty to avoid conflicts.

At an uncontrolled T-intersection, you approach on the road that ends as another car approaches on the through road at about the same time. Who yields?
Correct answer: You yield to the vehicle on the through road.
Nevada has a specific rule for a road that ends at the intersection: its driver yields to the vehicle on the through highway.

A roundabout has a raised truck apron beside the center island. How should an ordinary car use it?
Correct answer: Stay off the truck apron and follow the designated traffic lane.
The apron gives large trucks additional turning room. It is not an extra travel or passing lane for cars.

After stopping at a stop sign, you see a car close enough on the through road that it would have to brake if you entered. What should you do?
Correct answer: Keep yielding until there is a safe gap.
A required stop does not grant priority over approaching through traffic that is an immediate hazard.

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.
