Sample questions from this test
Under Nebraska's point system, what happens when a driver accumulates 12 points in two years?
- A A warning letter and a 2-point credit offer
- B A six-month license revocation
- C A 30-day suspension with no course required
- D Revocation of the license for three years
Show answer
B. A six-month license revocation
Reaching 12 points in a two-year period triggers an automatic six-month revocation. Before getting the license back, the driver must finish an approved driver's education course of at least four hours and keep proof of insurance.
How close to a fire hydrant may you park in Nebraska?
- A No closer than 10 feet
- B No closer than 20 feet
- C No closer than 5 feet
- D No closer than 15 feet
Show answer
D. No closer than 15 feet
Do not park or stop within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Firefighters need clear access to connect hoses quickly.

- A Between 5 and 10 feet
- B Between 50 and 100 feet
- C Exactly 20 feet
- D Between 15 and 50 feet
Show answer
D. Between 15 and 50 feet
When required to stop, stop at the stop line. If there is none, stop not less than 15 feet nor more than 50 feet from the nearest rail, close enough to see but clear of the train.
If a crash was not investigated by police, when must you send a crash report to the Nebraska Department of Transportation?
- A Within 30 days, if damage is one thousand dollars or more
- B Within 24 hours, for every crash
- C Only if your insurance company asks
- D Within 10 days, if anyone is hurt or damage is two thousand dollars or more
Show answer
D. Within 10 days, if anyone is hurt or damage is two thousand dollars or more
If a crash injures or kills anyone, or apparently causes $2,000 or more in damage to one person's property, send a crash report to the Nebraska Department of Transportation within 10 days unless a peace officer investigated. The threshold rose from $1,500 to $2,000 on July 18, 2026; the January 2025 manual still says $1,500. Failing to report is a misdemeanor.
