    It is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or with a BAC of .08 or more.

    Drivers under 21 may not drive with a BAC of .02 or more. Commercial drivers are put out of service at .04 or with any alcohol in their body. Refusing a chemical test is a separate crime and brings a one-year administrative revocation.

    What does a five-sided (pentagon) sign mean?

    A school zone or school crossing

    The pentagon shape marks school zones and school crosswalks. When you see it, slow down and watch for children.

  • Practice test · Traffic signals

    You reach an intersection where the traffic signal is dark because of a power failure, and no officer is directing traffic. What should you do?

    Treat it as an all-way stop

    When a signal is dark and no officer or flagger is directing traffic, the intersection is treated as an all-way stop.

    Nebraska Driver's Manual (Class O), page 39

  • Practice test · Turning & signaling

    How far ahead should you signal before turning or moving right or left?

    At least 100 feet

    Signal at least 100 feet before you turn or move left or right. An early signal gives other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians time to react.

    Nebraska Driver's Manual (Class O), page 62

  • Road signs · Regulatory signs

    Stop sign

    What does this sign mean?

    Stop

    Come to a complete stop at the stop line (or before the crosswalk or intersection), then go only when it is safe and you have yielded to traffic and pedestrians.

How to study with flashcards

  1. Answer before you flip. Say the answer out loud or in your head. Recalling it yourself is what makes it stick; recognizing it among four options is easier than the real test.
  2. Grade yourself honestly. Swipe right (or press “Got it”) only if you had the answer, not if it looked familiar. Swipe left for “Again”.
  3. Review your misses straight away. At the end of a round you can go through just the cards you missed.
  4. Come back over several days. Short sessions spread out beat one long night.
  5. Finish with a real-format test. When most cards are known, take the Nebraska exam simulator to practice under test conditions.

Questions about the flashcards

How many Nebraska permit test flashcards are there?

320 in all: 120 practice-test cards from the Nebraska question bank, 118 road-sign cards, 22 Nebraska rules and permit facts and 60 motorcycle cards.

Are the flashcards free?

The road-signs deck is free for everyone, with no sign-up. The first 20 cards of each Nebraska deck are free too, and every practice test on this site is free.

Where do the answers come from?

Practice cards come from questions written from the Nebraska Driver's Manual (Class O), and each answer names the handbook page. Rule cards come from Nebraska’s statutes and DMV pages, checked and quoted on our traffic-laws page. Road-sign cards follow the federal MUTCD, which every state uses.

Do the flashcards work on a phone?

Yes. They open full screen, you tap a card to flip it and swipe right if you knew it, left to see it again, or up to skip. Turn your phone sideways for a wider card. There are buttons for every action, and on a computer you can use the keyboard.

Are these the real test questions?

No. States keep their test questions confidential, and no practice site has them. These cards cover the same rules the real Nebraska test is based on, with a source for every answer.
