Checking the location of Abe Lincoln's head between the tire grooves using a penny is a common method to determine if tire pressure is correct. If Lincoln's head is completely visible, it indicates that the tire tread is worn and the tire needs to be replaced. If Lincoln's head is partially covered, it suggests that the tire has enough tread and the tire pressure is likely correct. This method is a quick and easy way to visually assess tire pressure without the need for specialized tools or equipment.

Stop signs are red with white letters and have eight sides. The driver must come to a complete stop, and if there is a painted line, the driver must stop before the line. Stop signs are not always 10 feet in height, and they are not posted every 35-50 feet.

The correct answer is "No drinks at all" because any amount of alcohol can impair a driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely. Even small amounts of alcohol can affect judgment, coordination, and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents. It is always safest to avoid drinking any alcohol before driving.

The statement is false because bicycles are not considered pedestrians. Bicycles are considered vehicles and are required to adhere to the same responsibilities as vehicle drivers, such as following traffic rules and regulations.

When a vehicle is hit from the rear, the force of the impact pushes the vehicle forward. As a result, the occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, will be thrown towards the back of the car. This is because of the inertia of the body, which tends to keep it in its current state of motion. Therefore, the correct answer is that the body will be thrown towards the back of the car.

It is possible to get a ticket for driving the speed limit on a wet road because even if you are driving within the speed limit, you still need to adjust your speed according to the road conditions. Wet roads can be slippery and increase the risk of accidents, so it is important to drive at a safe speed that allows for proper control and stopping distance. If a driver is found to be driving too fast for the conditions, they can be issued a ticket for reckless or careless driving.

The correct answer is that Slow Moving Vehicle signs are reflective orange triangles on the rear of a larger vehicle that is moving less than 25 mph. These signs are often seen on farm vehicles, horse-drawn wagons, or construction equipment.

Railroad Crossing Warning signs are round yellow signs with an X symbol and black RR letters. They are typically found along the roadway prior to a railroad crossing. They are sometimes accompanied with a white X shaped sign located at the crossing. These signs do not have cameras that allow the train engineer to better determine the safety of crossing.

Alcohol reaches and affects the brain within 15-40 minutes. This is because alcohol is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestine. From there, it is carried to the brain where it affects the central nervous system and alters brain function. The time it takes for alcohol to reach the brain can vary depending on factors such as the individual's metabolism, the amount of alcohol consumed, and whether or not there is food in the stomach. However, on average, it takes about 15-40 minutes for alcohol to reach and start affecting the brain.

A typical driver's license and instruction permit are classified as Class D.

A dashed yellow line painted on the roadway indicates that a driver may pass in certain situations, such as when it is safe to do so and there are no oncoming vehicles. A dashed white line also indicates that a driver may pass, but only when it is safe to do so and there are no oncoming vehicles.

The correct answer is 38%. This means that out of all traffic crashes, 38% of them involve alcohol. This statistic highlights the significant impact that alcohol has on road safety and emphasizes the importance of preventing drunk driving. It also serves as a reminder of the need for strict enforcement of laws against driving under the influence and the promotion of responsible alcohol consumption.

When traveling at a speed of 55 mph, you cover a distance of over 800 feet in 10 seconds. This can be calculated by converting the speed from mph to feet per second (55 mph = 80.67 fps) and then multiplying it by the time in seconds (80.67 fps * 10 seconds = 806.7 feet). Therefore, it takes approximately 10 seconds to travel over 800 feet at a speed of 55 mph.

When a vehicle turns, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels due to the concept of turning radius. The front wheels are responsible for steering and have a larger turning radius, while the rear wheels follow in the path created by the front wheels but with a smaller turning radius. This difference in path length between the front and rear wheels is what causes the rear wheels to follow a shorter path.

According to Arkansas law, the passengers who must use a safety belt are the driver, front seat passengers, and all children under the age of fifteen. This means that all individuals sitting in the front seat and any child below the age of fifteen, regardless of their seating position, are required to wear a safety belt. The answer option stating "Only minor children, excluding pick up trucks older than 1976 models" is incorrect as it does not include the requirement for front seat passengers and does not apply to all children under the age of fifteen.

Speeding does not save more than a few minutes an hour. This means that even if you choose to drive at a higher speed than the designated limit, the time saved is minimal. It implies that the risk of speeding, such as increasing the chance of a collision when passing cars, outweighs the minimal time saved. Therefore, it is not worth the potential danger and consequences of speeding.

When merging with other traffic, it is important to have a gap of about 4 seconds. This allows enough time for you to safely merge into the flow of traffic without causing any disruptions or accidents. Having a sufficient gap ensures that you have enough space to accelerate and merge smoothly without impeding the flow of traffic or causing any sudden braking or swerving maneuvers. It also gives other drivers enough time to react and adjust their speed if needed.

It is safe to cross a railroad track with more than one track when the passing train has completely cleared the area and the driver can determine that another train isn't coming. This means that the driver should wait until all trains have passed and there is no immediate danger of another train approaching before crossing the tracks. Simply waiting for the railroad barriers to be lifted or for the caboose to pass may not guarantee that it is safe to cross, as there could still be another train approaching on a different track. Using the "looking ahead" rule, waiting for 15 seconds after the train goes by, is not a reliable method to determine if it is safe to cross.

The three best options to avoid a collision are to brake, use the turn signal, and honk. Braking allows the driver to slow down or stop the vehicle, giving them more time to react and avoid a collision. Using the turn signal indicates to other drivers the intended direction, reducing the risk of confusion or unexpected maneuvers. Honking alerts other drivers to the presence of the vehicle and can help to grab their attention, potentially preventing a collision.

When you can see both headlights of the car that you passed in your rearview mirror, it indicates that you have enough distance and time to safely return to your original driving lane after passing the vehicle. This ensures that you are not cutting off the other vehicle and maintaining a safe distance between both vehicles.

Drivers are required to stop when approaching a school bus in two situations: when the bus is stopped and red warning lights on the bus are activated, and when the bus is stopped on the opposite lane of traffic and no median is present. In both cases, it is important for drivers to stop to ensure the safety of the children boarding or exiting the bus.

The correct answer is 1 hour. This suggests that the body takes approximately 1 hour to metabolize and eliminate each drink.

Signaling to slow means tapping your brakes quickly 3 or 4 times. This action alerts other drivers that you are slowing down, allowing them to adjust their speed accordingly. Using your hazards when you are slowing down may confuse other drivers, as hazards are typically used to indicate a stationary or disabled vehicle. Applying your brakes for 100 feet, releasing them, then reapplying the brakes does not provide a clear signal to other drivers that you are slowing down.

When backing up, it is important to check behind the vehicle for hazards and check for other drivers that may be too close. This is necessary to ensure that there are no obstacles or potential dangers in the path of the vehicle. Additionally, placing your right arm on the back of the seat and turning around allows you to have a clear view through the rear window, which helps to eliminate blind spots and increases visibility while reversing.

Arkansas law requires individuals to pass a vision test with a minimum visual acuity of 20/50 in at least one eye without the use of corrective lenses. This means that a person should be able to see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 50 feet.

When a driver sees a continuous yellow traffic light, they must come to a stop if it can be done safely before entering the intersection. This is because a yellow light indicates that the signal is about to turn red, and it is necessary to stop to avoid entering the intersection when the light changes. However, if the driver is already in the middle of the intersection when the light turns yellow, they must proceed and not stop, as it would be unsafe to come to a sudden stop in the middle of traffic.

The correct answer options provide information about the distances it can take to react and stop at different speeds. It states that at 50 mph, it can take about 400 feet to react and stop, which is the length of a city block. Similarly, at 30 mps, it can take about 200 feet to react and stop, which is the length of half a city block.

All of the options listed are true for right-of-way intersections. Drivers must yield to pedestrians who are legally crossing the road. Drivers turning left must yield to oncoming cars traveling straight ahead. At a 4-way stop, the driver reaching the intersection first gets to go first after coming to a complete stop. Drivers may not enter an intersection unless they can get through it without having to stop. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the Above."

When yielding to an emergency vehicle, drivers must pull over to the right edge of the road and wait for instructions if any are given on a speaker. If the driver is in an intersection, they should drive through the intersection before pulling over. This is to ensure that the emergency vehicle has enough space to pass and to prevent any potential accidents or delays.

The correct answer includes three statements that are true. The first statement states that most tires will have good traction up to about 35 mph when it is raining. The second statement mentions that in a heavy rain, tires can lose all traction with the road at around 50 mph. The third statement advises that if the car starts to hydroplane, the driver should ease off the gas, steer straight, and only try to stop once the tires are gripping the road again. These statements provide accurate information about tire traction and hydroplaning in different weather conditions.

The 3rd stage in obtaining a license is to have a clear driving record and to test for an Intermediate License. This means that before moving on to the next level of licensing, the individual must have a clean driving record, indicating that they have not committed any major traffic violations or accumulated a significant number of points on their driving record. Additionally, they must pass a test to obtain an Intermediate License, which typically includes a written exam and a practical driving test.

The correct answer is to park in designated areas, check traffic before opening the door, get out of the vehicle on the curb, never leave the ignition keys in a parked car, lock doors of vehicles, and park as far away from traffic as possible. These actions help ensure safety and prevent accidents or theft. Parking in designated areas and away from traffic reduces the risk of collisions. Checking traffic before opening the door prevents accidents with passing vehicles or cyclists. Getting out of the vehicle on the curb keeps the driver safe from traffic. Never leaving the ignition keys in a parked car prevents theft. Locking doors adds an extra layer of security.

It is recommended to have your eyes checked by an eye specialist once every two years. Regular eye exams can help detect any potential eye problems or changes in vision, allowing for early intervention and treatment if necessary. This frequency of eye check-ups ensures that any issues can be addressed in a timely manner, promoting good eye health and maintaining optimal vision.

A single alcohol drink is considered to be 1.5 ounces of 80 proof liquor (one shot glass), 5 ounces of wine, or 12 ounces of beer. This means that consuming any of these amounts of alcohol is considered to be one drink. The answer does not include specialty drinks such as margaritas, as they can vary widely in their alcohol content and serving size.

Applicants under the age of 18 must have a birth certificate and any secondary document issued by a different source with the same information. They also need the signature of a parent and school attendance and grade average forms. Proof of insurance and the most recent report card are not mentioned as required documents.

The correct answer is "Indication to stop/ indication to continue slowly/indication to go." This order is correct because a red light indicates that drivers must stop, a yellow light indicates that drivers should proceed with caution, and a green light indicates that drivers can proceed if there is no opposing traffic.

A typical driver's license and instruction permit class have restrictions on the type of vehicle that can be driven. The vehicle must have four wheels, weigh less than 26,001 lbs, and not be able to transport more than sixteen passengers. These restrictions ensure that drivers are operating vehicles that are suitable for their level of experience and do not pose a risk to themselves or others on the road.

The driver should look ahead at least one city block or one quarter mile on highways to have enough time to react to any potential hazards or changes in traffic conditions. Additionally, the driver should also look ahead at least an estimated 15 seconds of driving distance to maintain a safe following distance and anticipate any upcoming actions or maneuvers of other vehicles.

When leaving a roadway onto an exit ramp, it is important not to begin slowing down until you have completely left the roadway and entered the exit ramp. This ensures that you maintain a consistent speed on the roadway and do not disrupt the flow of traffic. However, if you have traffic following you, it is necessary to tap your brakes to indicate that you are slowing down quickly but safely. This alerts the drivers behind you to adjust their speed accordingly. Additionally, using your turn signal to let other drivers know your intentions is crucial for safe lane changes and to avoid any potential collisions.

At a speed of 55 mps, it would take approximately 10 seconds to pass an object. This is because the question is asking for the amount of time it would take to pass an object, and the given speed of 55 mps provides the necessary information to calculate the time.

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and most are diamond shaped. They are used to warn drivers to slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. These signs also provide information about a special situation or hazard. Additionally, warning signs are posted at all school crossings and school zones.

If found guilty of underage driving under the influence, possible punishments include a fine of $2000 and having your license revoked until you are 21.

After the instruction permit time limit is reached, the driver may test and qualify for the next level of permit called the Learner License. This is assuming that the driver is over 16 and under 18 years old.

The correct answer is "Within 25 miles of a driver's home" and "On roads with posted speed limits of less than 45 mph". This is because the question is asking for the locations where over half of all traffic crash deaths occur. According to the given options, these two choices are the most likely locations for such accidents to happen.

One of the leading causes of accidents is assuming that a train is not coming. This means that many accidents occur when drivers fail to properly assess the presence of a train at a railroad crossing. This assumption can be dangerous and result in collisions with trains, leading to severe accidents and injuries. It is crucial for drivers to always exercise caution and never assume that a train is not approaching.

If your vehicle breaks down, it is important to get it off the roadway if possible, as this can help prevent accidents and keep traffic flowing smoothly. Stopping on top of a hill can be dangerous as it may obstruct the view of other drivers. Using hazard flashers is also important to alert other drivers of your situation. If you have them, using emergency flares can provide additional warning to other drivers. Lastly, lifting the hood or tying a white cloth to the antenna, side mirror, or door handle can signal to others that you are in need of assistance.

A Learners Permit or an Instruction Permit allows learners to practice their driving skills with only a written test. This type of permit is typically issued to individuals who are learning to drive and have not yet obtained a full driver's license. It allows them to gain practical experience behind the wheel under the supervision of a licensed adult driver.

Do Not Enter signs are square with a white horizontal line inside a red ball, which means that vehicles cannot enter. These signs are often seen at roadway openings to one-way streets, exit ramps, in crossovers on divided roadways, and one-way streets.

The given answer includes statements that are true about using your headlights according to Arkansas law and general driving guidelines. These include using headlights when using wipers, using lights on rainy, snowy, or foggy days, turning on headlights before sunset and after sunrise, turning on headlights when visibility is poor within 500 feet, using high beams when there is no oncoming traffic, dimming high beams when approaching an oncoming car, using low beams when following a vehicle closely, flashing headlights when confronted by a vehicle with high beams on, and looking toward the right side of the road to avoid being blinded by oncoming vehicles that do not dim their lights.

Worn tires on a vehicle can cause a decrease in fuel economy because the tread on the tires is reduced, resulting in more friction and resistance on the road. Additionally, worn tires can make the vehicle harder to steer and stop because there is less traction, increasing the risk of hydroplaning. Lastly, worn tires are more prone to punctures and blowouts, increasing the chance of a flat tire during a trip.

The correct answer includes statements that are true about visibility. It states that headlights allow you to see about 400 feet ahead and headlights on bright allow you to see about 800 feet ahead. It also mentions that it is harder to see at night and in very heavy rain, snowstorm, or thick fog, you may not be able to see more than 200 feet ahead. Additionally, it states that when visibility is limited to 200 feet, you cannot drive faster than 30 mph. It also highlights the importance of decreasing speed when going over the top of a hill or around a curve. Lastly, it suggests using the four second sight distance rule to determine if you are driving too fast for conditions.

Truckers have a better view than most with forward views from the cab, indicating that they have a clear and unobstructed view of the road ahead. However, they also have serious blind spots, which means there are areas around the truck where they cannot see other vehicles. One blind spot is up to 20 feet in front of the cab, suggesting that there is a specific area directly in front of the truck where visibility is limited. Another blind spot is only on the right-hand side of the cab, indicating that there is a specific area on the right side of the truck where other vehicles may not be visible to the driver. Additionally, one blind spot is up to 200 feet behind the cab, suggesting that there is a large area behind the truck where the driver may not be able to see other vehicles. Lastly, if the driver cannot see the driver's face in his mirror, it implies that the driver may not be able to see the vehicle behind him, emphasizing the importance of maintaining visibility for safe driving.

When turning off of a roadway that does not have a dedicated exit or deceleration lane, it is important to signal to let other drivers know your intentions and prevent any potential accidents. Signaling is also necessary when parking or turning just before an intersection to inform other drivers of your actions. Additionally, signaling to slow down in traffic for a hazard in the road that a driver behind you cannot see is crucial for the safety of all drivers on the road.

Yield signs are triangle shaped and point downward with red and white letters. They indicate that the driver must yield to traffic in the intersection and give right of way to other vehicles. Failure to yield can result in fines up to $1,000 and suspension of the driver's license for up to 180 days.

According to Arkansas Law, all persons on a motorcycle must wear eye protection and wear protective headgear for all passengers under 21. This means that anyone riding a motorcycle in Arkansas must have their eyes protected and ensure that passengers under the age of 21 are wearing headgear.

When changing lanes or merging onto a roadway, it is important to ensure that there are no vehicles in the lane you want to enter. This helps to prevent collisions and ensures a smooth transition into the new lane. Additionally, looking in your rear view and side mirrors to determine that all is clear, and looking over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move, helps to avoid blind spots and ensures that you have a clear view of any potential hazards. Finally, remembering to check for pedestrians is important as they can be more difficult to see and may be crossing the roadway.
