2. Which of the following can affect your driving:

Explanation

Tiredness, illness, and drugs and alcohol can all affect your driving. When you are tired, your reaction time slows down and you may have difficulty focusing on the road. Illness can also impair your ability to drive safely, as symptoms such as dizziness or fatigue can affect your concentration. Drugs and alcohol can have a significant impact on your driving skills, impairing your judgment, coordination, and reaction time. Therefore, all of the mentioned factors can affect your driving.

Submit
3. A high BAC can only be lowered by

Explanation

A high BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) refers to the amount of alcohol present in a person's bloodstream. Time is the only factor that can lower BAC as the body needs time to metabolize and eliminate alcohol from the system. Eating, drinking water, or drinking coffee may help in reducing the effects of alcohol temporarily, but they do not directly lower BAC. Only time allows the body to process and eliminate alcohol, gradually reducing the BAC level.

Submit
4. Driving can be affected by

Explanation

Driving can be affected by both prescription drugs and illegal drugs. Prescription drugs can have side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired judgment, which can impair driving abilities. Illegal drugs, on the other hand, can have more severe effects on cognition, coordination, and reaction time, making driving extremely dangerous. Therefore, both types of drugs can impair a person's ability to drive safely, highlighting the importance of not driving under the influence of any drugs.

Submit
5. The colors of a stop light from top to bottom are:

Explanation

The correct answer is red, yellow, green because traditionally, the colors of a stop light are arranged in this order. Red is on top, indicating that drivers should stop. Yellow is in the middle, indicating that drivers should prepare to stop. Green is at the bottom, indicating that drivers can proceed. This color sequence is used worldwide and is a universally recognized symbol for traffic control.

Submit
6. Where should the drivers hands be on the steering wheel

Explanation

The correct answer is at 9 and 3 o'clock. This is the recommended hand position for drivers on the steering wheel. Placing the hands at these positions allows for better control and maneuverability of the vehicle. It also ensures that the hands are in a balanced position, reducing the risk of injury in case of sudden movements or accidents.

Submit
7.  Under a GDL permit of license seat belts should be worn by

Explanation

Under a GDL (Graduated Driver Licensing) permit or license, seat belts should be worn by any person in the car regardless of age. This means that all occupants, both those in the front seat and those in the back seat, regardless of their age, should wear seat belts. The GDL permit or license emphasizes the importance of seat belt usage for the safety of all individuals in the vehicle, regardless of their age.

Submit
8.  If you are about to enter a curve in the road, you should:

Explanation

When entering a curve in the road, it is important to slow down before entering the curve. This is because curves can be dangerous if taken at high speeds, as they can cause loss of control and increase the risk of accidents. Slowing down before entering the curve allows the driver to maintain better control of the vehicle and navigate the curve safely. Speeding up or maintaining the current speed can increase the chances of losing control and potentially lead to a collision.

Submit
9. As few as two drinks can affect your

Explanation

As few as two drinks can affect decision making, coordination, and reaction time. Alcohol impairs cognitive functions, such as judgment and decision making, making it harder to make rational choices. It also affects coordination, leading to difficulties in performing tasks that require precise movements. Additionally, alcohol slows down reaction time, making it harder to respond quickly to stimuli. Therefore, consuming even a small amount of alcohol can have a significant impact on these three aspects.

Submit
10.  MVC should be notified if:

Explanation

MVC should be notified if both your name and address change because these are important personal details that need to be updated in their records. Additionally, notifying MVC about a lost permit is necessary to ensure the old permit is invalidated and a new one can be issued. Therefore, all options A and B should be selected to notify MVC of these changes.

Submit
11. The fastest way to get sober is

Explanation

The correct answer is "time" because sobriety is a natural process that occurs as the body metabolizes and eliminates alcohol or drugs. Time allows the body to process and remove the substances, gradually reducing their effects and allowing the person to become sober. While eating a large meal, drinking water, or consuming coffee may help alleviate some symptoms or effects of intoxication, they do not directly speed up the process of becoming sober.

Submit
12. Driving while your license is suspended can result in

Explanation

Driving while your license is suspended is a serious offense that can result in penalties. The correct answer states that it can lead to up to a $500 fine and 6 months of additional suspension. This means that if caught driving with a suspended license, the individual may be required to pay a fine of up to $500 and have their license suspended for an additional 6 months on top of the existing suspension. This serves as a deterrent and punishment for disregarding the law and driving without a valid license.

Submit
13. If you get a flat tire while driving on a two lane road the best thing to do is:

Explanation

When you get a flat tire while driving on a two-lane road, the best thing to do is to take your foot off the gas and slowly leave the roadway. This is the safest option because it allows you to gradually reduce your speed and safely maneuver your vehicle off the road. Speeding up and leaving the roadway quickly can be dangerous and may cause loss of control. Similarly, abruptly turning the wheel can also lead to loss of control and potentially cause an accident. Therefore, the best course of action is to calmly and safely exit the road.

Submit
14.  Stopping distance depends on

Explanation

Stopping distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It depends on various factors, including the individual's reaction time, which is the time it takes for the driver to perceive a hazard and react by applying the brakes. Additionally, the speed at which the vehicle is traveling plays a crucial role in determining the stopping distance. Finally, the weight of the vehicle also affects the stopping distance, as heavier vehicles require more force to stop. Therefore, all of the mentioned factors - individuals reaction time, speed, and vehicle's weight - contribute to the overall stopping distance.

Submit
15.  An eight sided sign is

Explanation

An eight-sided sign is a stop sign. Stop signs are typically octagonal in shape and are used to indicate that drivers must come to a complete stop at an intersection. This is an internationally recognized traffic sign that is used to regulate traffic and ensure safety on the roads. Therefore, the correct answer is a stop sign.

Submit
16. To get an examination permit you must

Explanation

To get an examination permit, you must pass a vision and knowledge test and be at least 17 years old. This means that in order to obtain the permit, you need to demonstrate your understanding of the rules of the road and have a clear vision. Additionally, you must meet the minimum age requirement of 17 years old. The other options listed, being at least 21 years old or having a driver education teacher with you, are not necessary for obtaining the examination permit.

Submit
17. If a student permit driver commits a traffic offense, the responsibility lies with

Explanation

Both the student and the instructor are responsible for a student permit driver's traffic offense. The student is responsible because they are the one driving and making the decisions on the road. The instructor is responsible because they are supposed to be supervising and guiding the student, ensuring they follow the rules and regulations. Therefore, both parties share the responsibility for any traffic offenses committed by a student permit driver.

Submit
18. An acceleration lane is used when

Explanation

An acceleration lane is used when entering a highway to provide drivers with a dedicated space to increase their speed and merge safely into the flow of traffic. This lane allows drivers to match the speed of the vehicles on the highway before merging, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring a smooth transition onto the highway.

Submit
19.  Rearview mirror blind spots are found

Explanation

The correct answer is "all of the above" because rearview mirror blind spots can be found behind the rear window post, on the left side, and on the right side. This means that there are potential blind spots in multiple areas when using the rearview mirror, and drivers should be aware of this and take extra caution when changing lanes or maneuvering their vehicle.

Submit
20. Hydroplaning can cause

Explanation

Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tires of a vehicle and the road surface, causing the tires to lose contact with the pavement. This can lead to a loss of control and make it difficult to steer or brake effectively. Flat tires and engine failure are not directly caused by hydroplaning, but they can be secondary consequences if the driver loses control and hits obstacles or if the engine gets flooded with water.

Submit
21.  A sign that is colored blue is for:

Explanation

A sign that is colored blue is typically used to convey information. Blue signs are often used to provide directions, give guidance, or provide important information to drivers and pedestrians. These signs may include information about nearby attractions, services, or facilities. They are designed to be easily recognizable and catch the attention of individuals seeking information while on the road or in public spaces.

Submit
22. During what times can't you operate a vehicle under a Special GDL learner's permit

Explanation

A Special GDL learner's permit restricts the times during which a person can operate a vehicle. The correct answer is "from 11:01pm-5:00am." This means that between 11:01pm and 5:00am, a person with a Special GDL learner's permit is not allowed to operate a vehicle. This restriction is likely in place to ensure the safety of new drivers who are still learning and to minimize the risk of accidents during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced.

Submit
23. To communicate with other drivers during the day it is best to

Explanation

To communicate with other drivers during the day, it is best to use your horn. The horn is a universally understood signal that can be used to alert other drivers of potential dangers or to get their attention in certain situations. It is a quick and effective way to communicate on the road and can help prevent accidents by signaling your presence or intentions to others.

Submit
24.  What type of insurance must every driver have in the State of NJ

Explanation

In the State of NJ, every driver is required to have liability insurance. This type of insurance provides coverage for any damages or injuries caused to others in an accident that the driver is found responsible for. It helps protect the driver from financial liability and ensures that the injured party is compensated for their losses. Collision insurance, comprehensive insurance, and medical insurance are not mandatory requirements for drivers in NJ.

Submit
25. At an uncontrolled intersection who goes first

Explanation

At an uncontrolled intersection, the general rule is that the person on the right has the right of way. This means that they have the first priority to proceed through the intersection. This rule is commonly followed in many countries as a way to establish order and prevent confusion at intersections where there are no traffic signals or signs. The person on the left, the person driving fastest, or none of the above are not given priority in this situation.

Submit
26. Drivers convicted of a moving violation in a construction zone can

Explanation

When drivers are convicted of a moving violation in a construction zone, they may face stricter penalties. In this case, the correct answer suggests that they can have their fines double. This means that the original amount of the fine imposed on them will be multiplied by two as a consequence of their offense. This serves as a deterrent for drivers to ensure they follow the rules and regulations in construction zones, promoting safety and reducing the likelihood of accidents or disruptions in these areas.

Submit
27. A common mistake for a new driver is:

Explanation

A common mistake for a new driver is hitting the brake too hard. This can lead to abrupt stops, loss of control, and potential accidents. New drivers may not have developed the necessary finesse and judgment required to apply the brakes smoothly and gradually. Applying excessive force to the brake pedal can cause the vehicle to jerk and passengers to be thrown forward, putting everyone's safety at risk. It is important for new drivers to practice and gradually learn the appropriate amount of pressure needed to brake effectively and safely.

Submit
28.  In order for a driver to get a provisional license they must

Explanation

To obtain a provisional license, a driver must fulfill three requirements: completing 6 months of supervised driving, having no suspensions on their record, and passing a road test. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" because all three conditions must be met in order for a driver to be eligible for a provisional license.

Submit
29. A motorist must stop

Explanation

A motorist must stop at the direction of a traffic officer because traffic officers have the authority to control and direct traffic. They are responsible for ensuring the safety of all road users, including pedestrians and motorists. When a traffic officer signals for a motorist to stop, it is important to obey their instructions to prevent accidents and maintain order on the road.

Submit
30. Drivers may use studded snow tire between

Explanation

Drivers may use studded snow tires between November 15 and April 1. This is the correct answer because it falls within the winter season when snow and ice are more likely to be present on the roads. Using studded snow tires during this period can provide better traction and control, increasing safety for drivers in snowy or icy conditions.

Submit
31. At an uncontrolled intersection always yield to the driver on the

Explanation

At an uncontrolled intersection, there are no traffic signs or signals to regulate the flow of traffic. In such situations, the general rule is to yield to the driver on the right. This means that if two vehicles arrive at the intersection at the same time, the driver on the right has the right of way and can proceed first. Yielding to the driver on the right helps to ensure a smooth and safe flow of traffic, minimizing the chances of collisions or confusion at uncontrolled intersections.

Submit
32.  If you are 21 or over, you are considered under the influence if your BAC is

Explanation

If you are 21 or over, you are considered under the influence if your BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) is 0.08%. This means that if your BAC level reaches or exceeds 0.08%, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle. This is the legal limit for intoxication in many countries, including the United States. It is important to note that even if you are below the legal limit, alcohol can still impair your judgment and coordination, making it unsafe to drive.

Submit
33. An habitual offender is someone who

Explanation

The correct answer is "a person with three suspensions in three years." This answer accurately describes an habitual offender as someone who has had their driving privileges suspended three times within a span of three years. This indicates a pattern of repeated violations and disregard for traffic laws, making them a habitual offender.

Submit
34.  How far from an intersection should you signal when making a turn

Explanation

When making a turn at an intersection, it is important to signal in advance to inform other drivers of your intentions. Signaling at least 100 feet before the intersection gives other drivers enough time to react and adjust their driving accordingly. This distance allows for a safe and smooth maneuver, reducing the risk of accidents and promoting overall traffic flow.

Submit
35. To obtain a Special learner's permit you must:

Explanation

To obtain a Special learner's permit, you must pass a written test, an eye test, and complete 6 hours of behind the wheel training. This indicates that in addition to the written and eye test, practical driving experience is also required to obtain the permit.

Submit
36. If you turn the steering wheel to the right while in reverse, the rear of the car will

Explanation

When you turn the steering wheel to the right while in reverse, the rear of the car will go to the right. This is because the rear wheels of the car will follow the direction in which the front wheels are turned. Therefore, if you turn the steering wheel to the right, the front wheels will also turn to the right, causing the rear of the car to move in the same direction.

Submit
37. A warning sign is what shape

Explanation

A warning sign is typically in the shape of a diamond. This shape is easily recognizable and distinct from other common shapes such as squares, triangles, and ovals. The diamond shape is often used for warning signs to convey caution or potential danger ahead. It is important for drivers and pedestrians to be able to quickly identify and understand warning signs for their own safety.

Submit
38. How close to a stop sign can you park

Explanation

You can park up to 50 feet away from a stop sign. This distance allows for clear visibility and ensures that the parked vehicle does not obstruct the view of the sign for other drivers. Parking too close to a stop sign can create a safety hazard and make it difficult for approaching drivers to see the sign and react accordingly.

Submit
39. If you are under 21 years old, you are considered under the influence if your BAC is:

Explanation

If you are under 21 years old, you are considered under the influence if your BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) is 0.10%, 0.08%, or 0.02%. This means that even a BAC as low as 0.02% can be considered under the influence for individuals under 21.

Submit
40.  If a GDL driver commits any GDL conditions other than a moving vioation they will receive a fine of

Explanation

If a GDL driver commits any GDL conditions other than a moving violation, they will receive a fine of $100. This means that if they violate any of the conditions set forth by the Graduated Driver License program, such as driving with too many passengers or driving during restricted hours, they will be fined $100.

Submit
41.  To get a special learner's permit the student must be at least:

Explanation

To obtain a special learner's permit, the student must be at least 16 years old. This means that a student can apply for a learner's permit once they reach the age of 16.

Submit
42. A truck takes how much longer to stop than a car if it is raining?

Explanation

In rainy conditions, a truck takes 25% longer to stop than a car. This is because the wet road surface reduces the friction between the tires and the road, making it harder for both the car and the truck to stop. However, since a truck is larger and heavier than a car, it requires more distance to come to a complete stop. Therefore, the truck takes 25% longer to stop compared to the car.

Submit
43.  One 5 ounce glass of wine has the same amount of alcohol as:

Explanation

One 5 ounce glass of wine has the same amount of alcohol as 1 and 1/2 ounces of 86 proof liquor because both contain the same amount of alcohol. The proof of a liquor indicates its alcohol content, and 86 proof means that the liquor is 43% alcohol by volume. Therefore, 1 and 1/2 ounces of 86 proof liquor would have the same amount of alcohol as a 5 ounce glass of wine.

Submit
44. A state resident must transfer their license:

Explanation

A state resident must transfer their license within 60 days or until the out of state license expires whichever is first. This means that the resident has a maximum of 60 days to transfer their license after becoming a resident of the state. However, if their out of state license expires before the 60-day period, they must transfer their license before it expires. In other words, whichever comes first, either the 60-day period or the expiration of the out of state license, the resident must transfer their license.

Submit
45. A new vehicle does not get inspected for

Explanation

A new vehicle does not get inspected for 4 years because it is assumed that a new vehicle is in good condition and does not require frequent inspections. However, after 4 years, the vehicle should be inspected to ensure that it continues to meet safety and emission standards.

Submit

Explanation

The 12 second rule is used when driving in the city. This rule suggests that drivers should maintain a distance of at least 12 seconds from the vehicle in front of them. This allows for a safe following distance, giving the driver enough time to react and brake if necessary. It is especially important in city driving where there are more potential hazards and frequent stops and starts. By adhering to the 12 second rule, drivers can help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.

Submit
47. A special GDL permit allows you to drive:

Explanation

The correct answer is "after you completed a driver education course and are at least 16 years old".
