- B 16, and only after finishing a driver safety course
- C 15, with applications accepted 60 days early
- D 15 and six months, after passing a drive test
Show answer
C. 15, with applications accepted 60 days early

Two cars reach an uncontrolled intersection at about the same time. There are no signs or signals. Who should yield?
- A The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right
- B The driver on the right yields to the driver on the left
- C The driver going faster yields
- D The driver on the wider road always goes first
Show answer
A. The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right
At an uncontrolled intersection, watch for vehicles coming from your right and yield to them. Drive defensively, since other drivers may not yield even when they should.
Unless signs say otherwise, what is the speed limit in a Nebraska residential district?
- A 20 MPH
- B 30 MPH
- C 25 MPH
- D 35 MPH
Show answer
C. 25 MPH
Nebraska's default limit is 25 MPH in residential districts and 20 MPH in business districts. Posted signs can set a different limit, so watch for them.
What is the minimum speed on the interstate in Nebraska?
- A 40 MPH
- B 30 MPH
- C 45 MPH
- D 55 MPH
Show answer
A. 40 MPH
The minimum speed on the interstate is 40 MPH. Driving much slower than traffic on a high-speed road invites rear-end crashes.
Under the Move Over Law, what must you do if heavy traffic makes it impossible to change lanes away from a stopped emergency vehicle?
- A Stop in your lane until traffic clears
- B Drive onto the shoulder on the other side
- C Reduce speed and keep a safe speed while passing
- D Keep your speed, since you could not move over
Show answer
C. Reduce speed and keep a safe speed while passing
If you cannot move over because of traffic or other conditions, the law requires you to reduce speed and keep a safe speed past the stopped vehicles. Workers and officers on the shoulder are very exposed.
