Arkansas rules that catch people out

These come from questions learners find hardest. Each links to the page of the handbook it comes from.

• Intermediate drivers may not drive between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. unless an exception applies. Late-night driving is when tired, impaired and inexperienced drivers are most likely to crash.

  Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1, page 16

• The 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. curfew does not apply when an intermediate driver is with a licensed driver 21 or older, or is driving to or from a school activity, church activity, job, or an emergency.

  Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1, page 16

• A Learner's License applicant cannot have been in any traffic crash or convicted of a serious traffic violation in the 6 months before applying. A clean recent record shows you are ready for more independence.

  Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1, page 15

• The Arkansas guide warns that a driver who fails to yield could be fined up to $1,000 and have their license suspended for 180 days. Failing to yield causes many serious intersection crashes.

• Oncoming drivers do not have to stop for a school bus on the opposite side of a median that is 20 feet or wider. If the median is narrower than 20 feet, all lanes of traffic must stop.

  Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1, page 24

• Passing a stopped school bus with red lights flashing is a misdemeanor: a fine of at least $250 and up to $1,000, up to 90 days in jail, or both. If the violation causes a death, it becomes a felony.

  Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1, page 25

• Isaac's Law makes it a Class C felony, negligent homicide, to negligently cause a death while illegally passing a school bus. The serious charge reflects how deadly the area around a loading bus can be.

  Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1, page 25

• Because work-zone fines are doubled, some can reach $5,000. Slowing down and putting the phone away is far cheaper, and it protects the workers.
