Army Practice Germany Drivers License Test

The statement is true because according to German law and U.S. Forces regulations, the insurance confirmation card is required as proof of automobile insurance for registration purposes. The insurance policy alone cannot serve as a substitute for the confirmation card in this context.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that according to the information provided in paragraph 18b, kilometers can be converted to miles by multiplying the kilometers by 6 and then dropping the last digit. This implies that the statement "Kilometers may be converted to miles by multiplying the kilometers by 6 and then dropping the last digit" is true.

At unmarked intersections, vehicles coming from the right have the right-of-way. This means that if there are no traffic signs or signals indicating who has the right-of-way, the general rule is that vehicles on the right have priority. They can proceed first while vehicles on the left must yield. This helps to establish a clear and predictable flow of traffic in situations where there are no specific instructions given. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

When approaching a school bus that has come to a stop in a housing area controlled by the U.S. Forces, drivers are required to stop, regardless of whether or not they are approaching or following the bus, and they should not continue until the bus begins to move again. This is to ensure the safety of the children getting on or off the bus and to prevent any potential accidents or injuries.

According to paragraph 30a(3)(c) and (d), vehicles must stop when the yellow light is flashing. Therefore, vehicles 1 and 2 have to stop.

Children under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front seat of a vehicle unless the rear seat is already occupied by children of that age group. This means that it is true that children under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front seat of a vehicle unless the rear seat is already occupied by children of that age group.

The minimum distance for parking cars from a warning cross indicating a railroad crossing outside city limits is 50 meters (165 feet). This means that cars must be parked at least 50 meters away from the warning cross to ensure safety and prevent any obstruction to the railroad crossing.

The statement is false because the Traffic Point System does not apply to family members. The system only applies to military personnel and civilian employees.

The given statement is false. According to paras 9b(2) and 13c(1), German police do have the authority to require U.S. Forces drivers to pay a warning fee for minor traffic violations.

According to the given information, if a traffic accident involving U.S. Forces drivers is investigated by only German officials, they are not required to notify the military police or security forces. Therefore, the correct answer is False, as the statement contradicts the information provided.

When approaching an intersection and seeing the traffic light turn from green to yellow, the driver should slow down and prepare to stop if this can be done without endangering vehicles to the rear. This is because a yellow light indicates that the light is about to turn red, and it is important for the driver to start slowing down and preparing to stop in order to comply with traffic laws and avoid any potential accidents or collisions. However, if stopping suddenly might pose a danger to vehicles behind, the driver may continue through the intersection but must do so cautiously.

According to para 20b(10), drivers are not allowed to increase their speed while being passed. This means that if a driver is being overtaken by another vehicle, they should not accelerate to try and prevent the other vehicle from passing. This rule is in place to ensure safe and orderly traffic flow, as sudden increases in speed can lead to accidents or dangerous situations on the road. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

According to para 19c(1), Vehicle 2 must yield.

According to para 33c(2)(e), it is not permitted to attach old State license plates or signs to U.S. Forces POV plates. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The correct answer is False because according to paras 20b(5)(c) and 20c(4), drivers are always required to indicate their intention to pass by using directional signals.

When a vehicle starts skidding while braking, it indicates that the rear of the vehicle is losing traction. In this situation, the driver should turn the steering wheel in the direction that the rear of the vehicle is skidding. This helps to regain control and prevent the vehicle from spinning out. Additionally, the driver should pump the brakes lightly instead of immediately applying pressure to avoid locking the wheels and further losing control. Downshifting and taking the foot off the gas pedal may help in some situations, but it is not the most effective response to address a skid while braking.

The correct answer is False. This statement is incorrect because even if no property of value is left in plain view, it is still not advisable to leave POVs unattended and unlocked. Unattended and unlocked POVs can still be targeted by thieves or vandals, and it is always recommended to secure and lock vehicles to prevent any potential risks or damages.

Both bridges and stretches leading through forests on the autobahn are particularly prone to becoming ice hazards. Bridges are more exposed to cold air and wind, which can cause them to freeze more quickly. Stretches leading through forests have less sunlight and wind, which can result in the accumulation of ice and snow. Therefore, both of these areas require extra caution and maintenance to ensure safe driving conditions.

Radial tires are designed to provide better traction, handling, and stability compared to bias-ply tires. They have a flexible sidewall and a tread pattern that allows for better grip on the road. Mounting radial tires on all four wheels of a vehicle ensures that the vehicle will have consistent traction and handling characteristics, regardless of whether it is a front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive vehicle. Therefore, the correct answer is to mount radial tires on all four wheels of the POV.

When approaching a railroad crossing without a warning cross, a driver must approach with caution and look both directions for approaching trains. This is important to ensure the driver's safety and to avoid any potential collisions with trains. Additionally, the driver should also listen for sounds that indicate an approaching train, as this can provide an additional warning and help the driver make informed decisions while crossing the railroad. Therefore, both of these actions are necessary when approaching a railroad crossing without a warning cross.

When a yellow light is flashing at an intersection, it indicates caution. The driver should approach the intersection cautiously, being prepared to stop if necessary. The driver should also yield the right-of-way to any other vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection. This is important to ensure safety and prevent accidents. Simply waiting until the light changes or always stopping may not be appropriate or safe in this situation.

The given answer is False because the statement contradicts the information provided in paragraphs 10 and 19m. According to these paragraphs, a driver who disregards the safety of others is not excused legally from responsibility even if they have the right-of-way. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

Vehicle 2 may turn before Vehicle 1 because it has the right of way or because there are no traffic restrictions or signals that prevent it from doing so. This means that Vehicle 2 can proceed with its turn without having to wait for Vehicle 1 to complete its movement.

According to the given reference (paras 19g(4) and 20a(3)), both vehicles 1 and 3 are required to give a directional signal.

According to para 23e(9), drivers are not allowed to park beside a traffic island even if their parking lights are on. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The explanation for the correct answer, which is False, is that the statement is incorrect. According to the given information, drivers inside city limits may indicate their intention to pass by flashing headlights or sounding the horn. Therefore, the correct answer should be True.

When approaching an intersection with directional arrows painted on the pavement, the driver will follow the direction of the arrow. This means that the driver should enter the appropriate lane that corresponds to the direction indicated by the arrow. The driver should not change lanes within the intersection, as this can be dangerous and disrupt the flow of traffic. Therefore, the correct answer is to follow the direction of the arrow.

If the driving speed is doubled, the force of collision will be four times greater. This is because the force of collision is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. When the velocity is doubled, the force will increase by a factor of four (2^2 = 4). Therefore, the force of collision will be four times as great.

The driver of vehicle 1 must observe the right-of-way of vehicle 3. This means that the driver should yield to vehicle 3 and allow it to proceed first before making any turns or maneuvers. This is important for ensuring safety and avoiding accidents on the road.

According to paragraph 19g and signs 306 and 306 with 1002-12, vehicle 1 is allowed to proceed before vehicle 2.

According to paragraph 20a(3) and signs 206 and 306, the vehicles must proceed in the order of 3-2-1.

The correct answer is False. The given statement suggests that German traffic law does not require every user of a public road or highway to ensure the safety and convenience of other users. However, this is not true. In fact, traffic laws in most countries, including Germany, have regulations in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all road users.

Passing another vehicle is prohibited when the traffic situation is unclear. This means that if there is any uncertainty or lack of clarity in the traffic conditions, it is not safe or appropriate to pass another vehicle. This could include situations such as poor visibility, heavy congestion, or any other circumstances that make it difficult to determine if it is safe to pass. In such cases, it is important to prioritize safety and refrain from attempting to pass another vehicle.

According to paragraph 20a(3) and signs 205 and 306, the correct order for the vehicles to proceed is 2-1-3.

Drivers are not allowed to use only the parking lights while driving. The use of parking lights is specifically for parking or when the vehicle is stationary. It is not a substitute for headlights and should not be used while driving, as it does not provide sufficient visibility for the driver or other road users.

According to para 20a(3)(d), if a driver of a passenger vehicle wants to turn left and a streetcar traveling in the same direction left of the passenger vehicle is proceeding straight ahead, the passenger vehicle has to wait.

On the German Autobahn, there is no general speed limit for certain stretches of road, allowing drivers to travel at speeds they are comfortable with and their vehicles can safely handle. However, the recommended speed, known as the "Richtgeschwindigkeit," is 130 km/h. This recommendation serves as a guideline for safe driving conditions. Specific speed limits may apply in certain areas, such as construction zones or urban areas, and these are clearly indicated by traffic signs.

Parking on the left is permitted on one-way streets and on streets that have streetcar tracks that do not allow parking on the right side. This means that if a street is one-way, you can park on the left side regardless of whether there are streetcar tracks or not. However, if a street has streetcar tracks, you can only park on the left side if parking is not allowed on the right side.

In this situation, drivers may turn right.

The statement suggests that a POV (privately owned vehicle) may be rejected during mechanical inspection due to bent hoods, torn fenders, altered plates, or faulty body trimmings. However, the correct answer is False, indicating that these factors would not result in the rejection of a POV during mechanical inspection.

The correct answer is False. The statement suggests that drivers must turn on high-beam headlights when vehicles are halted at railroad crossings at night waiting for a train to pass. However, this is not true. In fact, drivers are required to turn off their high-beam headlights and use low-beam headlights in such situations. High-beam headlights can blind the train conductor and other drivers, causing a safety hazard. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

When a driver is traveling in the direction of the white arrow and faced with oncoming traffic, they must proceed. This means that the driver can continue driving without stopping or yielding the right-of-way to the oncoming traffic. The other options of yielding the right-of-way or flashing the headlights and proceeding are incorrect in this scenario.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that according to the information provided in paragraphs 19b and 20a(3), the driver of vehicle 1 needs to pull up to the middle of the intersection in front of vehicle 2 in order to turn left. Additionally, the driver must allow vehicle 3 to pass in front of her. Therefore, the statement "The driver of vehicle 1 wants to turn left. To do so, the driver must pull up to the middle of the intersection in front of vehicle 2 and then allow vehicle 3 to pass in front of her" is true.

Vehicle 2 has to wait because it is behind Vehicle 1. In a situation where both vehicles are approaching a junction or a stop sign, the vehicle that arrived first has the right of way and the other vehicle must wait until it is safe to proceed.

According to the given information, drivers who encounter an icy patch of road should continue driving without making any sudden changes in direction, speed, or braking. This implies that they should maintain their current course and speed, and avoid any sudden movements that could cause loss of control. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

The given statement is false. According to para 33c(1)(a), license plates issued to drivers by the Registry of Motor Vehicles do not automatically become the driver's property.

While an International Driver's Permit can be helpful for driving outside of Germany, it is not a requirement for obtaining a USAREUR license to drive within Germany. The USAREUR license itself is the mandatory authorization for U.S. personnel to drive in Germany.

In this scenario, the correct answer is Vehicle 1. The right-of-way is typically given to the vehicle on the right side, and since Vehicle 1 is mentioned first, it can be assumed that it is on the right side. Therefore, Vehicle 1 has the right-of-way over Vehicle 12.

When the flashing red light goes out, it indicates that the train has passed and it is safe for drivers to cross the tracks of an unguarded railroad crossing. The flashing red light serves as a warning to drivers to stop and wait for the train to pass before crossing the tracks. Once the light goes out, it signals that the train is no longer present and it is safe to proceed.

Based on the information provided in paragraph 30f and figure 2, it can be inferred that Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 3 are allowed to proceed. However, there is no mention or reference to Vehicle 1 being allowed to proceed.

When a vehicle with flashing lights and a multiton horn approaches, drivers are required to both clear the road immediately and stop immediately. This is because vehicles with flashing lights and multiton horns typically indicate an emergency situation, such as an ambulance, fire truck, or police car. Clearing the road allows the emergency vehicle to pass safely, while stopping immediately ensures that the driver does not obstruct the emergency vehicle's path. Therefore, both actions are necessary to ensure the safety and efficiency of emergency response vehicles.

The given answer is false because U.S. Forces regulations do prohibit abandoning a privately owned vehicle (POV). This is stated in paragraphs 33f(2) and 33h(5) of the regulations.

Based on the given information, vehicle 2 does not have to wait. The reference to "para 19g" suggests that there is a specific rule or regulation mentioned in paragraph 19g that states vehicle 2 does not have to wait. Additionally, the signs 205 with 1002-21 and 306 with 1002-12 may indicate specific instructions or conditions that allow vehicle 2 to proceed without waiting.

The correct answer is "All of the above" because the question asks about the direction in which the driver may proceed based on the signal shown in the illustration. Since the illustration is not provided, we cannot determine the specific direction indicated. Therefore, it is possible that the signal allows the driver to proceed in any of the mentioned directions: to the right, to the left, or straight ahead.

According to para 20b(3), drivers are not allowed to exceed the posted speed limit while passing another vehicle. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The driver of vehicle 2 has to observe the right-of-way of vehicle 3. This means that they should yield to vehicle 3 and allow it to proceed first, before they themselves proceed.

Emergency warning equipment should be stored in the passenger compartment under the front seat. This location allows for easy and quick access to the equipment in case of an emergency. Storing the equipment in the trunk of the car may make it more difficult to reach during an urgent situation. Keeping it in the garage or storage area until needed would also not be ideal as it would not be readily accessible when required.

When a streetcar has stopped at a pedestrian island, drivers are required to be cautious and watch out for passengers who are getting on and off the streetcar. However, they are allowed to proceed carefully on the right side of the streetcar if it is safe to do so. This means that drivers should be aware of the potential presence of pedestrians and exercise caution while passing the streetcar. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

Based on the given options, it can be inferred that vehicles 1 and 3 are not allowed to proceed. The correct answer, therefore, is vehicles 2 and 3, as they are the only ones that can proceed.

Vehicle 2 must wait because according to paragraph 19b, when two vehicles arrive at an intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. Since Vehicle 2 is on the left side of Vehicle 1, it must wait for Vehicle 1 to proceed first.

When a driver on the right-hand side of the road wants to turn left, they should first watch traffic to the rear to ensure it is safe to make the turn. Then, they should give a directional signal to indicate their intention to turn left. Finally, they should move next to the center line, positioning themselves properly to make the left turn. This sequence of actions ensures the driver is aware of the traffic behind them and communicates their intention to other drivers on the road before making the turn.

According to the given information, a vehicle is considered to be parked when the driver leaves the vehicle or when the vehicle has been stopped for longer than 3 minutes. This means that if the driver leaves the vehicle or if the vehicle is stopped for more than 3 minutes, it is considered parked.

Vehicle 1 must wait because it is shown after Vehicle 2 in the question. In most traffic scenarios, the vehicle that arrives first at an intersection or a stop sign has the right of way and does not need to wait for other vehicles. Since Vehicle 1 is mentioned after Vehicle 2, it indicates that Vehicle 2 arrived first and therefore Vehicle 1 must wait for its turn.

When approaching a railroad crossing where the barriers are open, the driver should approach at a moderate speed and observe the tracks to the right and left. This is important to ensure that there are no trains approaching and it allows the driver to make a safe decision on whether to proceed or stop. It is necessary to approach at a moderate speed to have enough time to react if a train is coming. Simply proceeding without slowing down or coming to a complete stop without observing the tracks could be dangerous and potentially result in a collision with a train.

Based on the information provided in paragraph 19g and sign 306, the driver of vehicle 3 is required to "Move on." This means that the driver should continue driving without yielding to any other vehicles.

When a driver sees a pedestrian wearing a yellow armband marked with three black dots attempting to cross the street, the driver must slow down and stop if necessary to allow the pedestrian to cross. This is because the yellow armband marked with three black dots indicates that the pedestrian has a visual impairment and may require extra time and assistance to safely cross the street. Therefore, it is important for the driver to slow down and stop if necessary to ensure the pedestrian's safety.

According to paragraph 20a(5) and signs 293 and 350, vehicles 2 and 3 must stop.

The position of Vehicle 1 and 3 is incorrect for the left turn.

Drivers may pass a streetcar on the left when the road is a one-way street. This means that if the road is designated as a one-way street, drivers are allowed to pass a streetcar on the left side. This is because the streetcar will be traveling in the same direction as the other vehicles on the road, so it is safe for drivers to pass it on the left. However, if the road is not a one-way street, drivers are not allowed to pass a streetcar on the left, as it would be unsafe and against traffic regulations.

When a driver is waiting to make a left turn and a streetcar comes up behind their vehicle, they must move to the next block or to a point where they can make the left turn without obstructing the streetcar. This is because streetcars have limited mobility and cannot easily maneuver around other vehicles. Therefore, it is important for the driver to allow the streetcar to continue on its route without being held up.

The driver of vehicle 2 has to wait at a point where he or she can see along the priority road and let vehicle 1 move ahead first. This means that the driver should ensure clear visibility before proceeding and give priority to vehicle 1.

The minimum speed a vehicle must be able to maintain on the autobahn is 60 kph (37 mph). This means that vehicles must be capable of maintaining a speed of at least 60 kph in order to drive on the autobahn.

When passing a streetcar that has stopped to take on and let off passengers on the roadway, a driver must stop and proceed only after the streetcar doors are closed and the roadway is clear of pedestrians. This is to ensure the safety of both the passengers and the driver. Passing at a moderate speed and at a distance that does not bother the passengers is not enough; it is crucial to wait until the doors are closed and the roadway is clear to avoid any potential accidents or harm.

If a vehicle breaks down on the autobahn, it can be towed to the next autobahn exit. This is the correct answer because the other options are not mentioned as possible destinations for a towed vehicle. The next gas station on the autobahn is not specified as an option, and towing the vehicle to the original destination on the autobahn is only allowed if a tow bar is used. Therefore, the only specified and correct option is the next autobahn exit.

Hazard lights are used to warn other drivers of a potential hazard or an unexpected obstruction on the road. A sudden breakdown in a tunnel poses a significant risk, as visibility might be limited, and other drivers might not be able to react in time. Using hazard lights alerts other drivers to the situation and allows them to take necessary precautions.  

Based on the information provided in paragraph 30f and figures 1 and 4, it can be inferred that vehicles 1 and 2 must wait. However, without the specific details from the paragraph and figures, it is difficult to provide a more detailed explanation.

According to paragraphs 24c and d, it is permitted to use headlights to signal the intention to pass outside city limits. This means that within city limits, it is not allowed to use headlights for this purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is "Outside city limits."

When a driver approaches a round blue sign with a white number 30 on it, they must stay off the road if they are driving a vehicle that can only move at a speed of less than 30 kph (20 mph). Additionally, they should not drive at less than 30 kph, but this is subject to weather conditions and traffic permitting. Therefore, the correct answer is both a and c above.

According to paras 13b(1)(b) and 27b, the warning triangle should be placed at a distance of 100 meters (300 ft) if a vehicle breaks down on any road other than an autobahn.

A driver may remain in the passing lane while traveling at a high rate of speed only as long as necessary to pass other vehicles. Additionally, they may stay in the passing lane until the vehicle ahead completes its passing maneuver. Therefore, both options a and b are correct.

According to paragraph 19d and signs 205 and 301, vehicle 3 may proceed after vehicles 1 and 2. This means that vehicle 3 should wait for vehicles 1 and 2 to go first before it can proceed.

The statement is false because according to para 20b(9), a driver in the passing lane of the autobahn does not need to slow down if they see a vehicle approaching from behind with flashing headlights.

In the city where no priority signs are posted, the driver on the widest street does not necessarily have the right-of-way. The right-of-way is typically determined by traffic laws and regulations, not by the width of the street. Without any specific signs indicating priority, drivers should follow the general rules of the road, such as yielding to vehicles already in the intersection or following the instructions of traffic signals or signs. Therefore, the statement is false.

The given statement is false. The explanation is that in Germany, unless otherwise posted, there is no general speed limit on highways (autobahns). However, there are recommended speed limits and specific speed limits in certain areas or during certain conditions. So, the statement that a speed limit of 100 kph (62 mph) applies to all vehicles on all highways and roads in Germany is incorrect.

The correct answer is False. The given statement is incorrect. The speed limit within city limits is not always 60 kph (37 mph). The speed limit can vary depending on the specific city and its regulations.

Stopping or parking is allowed up to a distance of 15 meters (45 ft) from a public transportation stop. This means that vehicles can legally park or stop within this distance without violating any regulations. It is important to maintain this distance to ensure the smooth flow of public transportation and to prevent any obstruction or inconvenience to passengers using the transportation stop.

When approaching a congested intersection, the driver should stop before the intersection until it is clear. This is because even though the light is green, the congestion may prevent the driver from safely crossing the intersection. Stopping allows the driver to assess the situation and ensure that it is safe to proceed. Proceeding across the intersection with caution or flashing headlights to warn other vehicles may not be sufficient in a congested intersection where visibility and space may be limited.

The minimum distance to park cars from marked or unmarked junctions or pedestrian crosswalks is 5 meters. This distance is necessary to ensure the safety of pedestrians and other drivers. Parking too close to these areas can obstruct visibility and increase the risk of accidents. By maintaining a minimum distance of 5 meters, it allows for better visibility and maneuverability for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Stopping is prohibited on the autobahn because it is a high-speed highway where vehicles are not allowed to stop. This is stated in the given references, paras 21i(2) and 23a. On the other hand, there is no mention of stopping being prohibited on either side of a one-way street in the given references. Therefore, the correct answer is "On the autobahn."

According to the given information, it is stated that when traveling on multilane roads with dense traffic, it is illegal for vehicles in the right lane to go faster than those in the left lane. However, the correct answer is False, indicating that this statement is not true. Therefore, it can be inferred that it is not illegal for vehicles in the right lane to go faster than those in the left lane when traveling on multilane roads with dense traffic.

According to paragraph 19b and signs 205 and 301, the vehicles that have to wait at these junctions are Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 3.

According to paragraph 19g and sign 306 with 1002-12, the vehicles may proceed in the order of 2-3-1.

Vehicle 3 must wait because it is the only option given that is not mentioned in a group with another vehicle. Since there is no information provided about the relationship between Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2, we cannot determine if they should wait or not. However, Vehicle 3 is singled out as the only option not mentioned with another vehicle, indicating that it must wait.

Based on the information provided in paragraphs 19a and 20a(3), as well as signs 205 and 306, the vehicles may proceed in the order of 1-3-2.

When choosing a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, it is important to consider the condition of the highway and the driving speed. The condition of the highway can affect the stopping distance and the ability to react to sudden changes on the road. Additionally, the driving speed plays a crucial role in determining the required distance to stop safely. Therefore, both factors should be taken into account when deciding on a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

The correct answer is 2-1-3 because in the given order, vehicle 2 is allowed to proceed first, followed by vehicle 1, and then vehicle 3. This order ensures smooth flow of traffic and maintains safety on the road.

According to paragraph 19g and 20a(3) and signs 205 and 306, the vehicles should proceed in the order of 3-1-2.
