When driving 40 mph or less, what minimum following distance does the Nevada handbook recommend?
- A One second
- B One car length
- C Five seconds
- D Two seconds
Show answer
D. Two seconds
At 40 mph or less, stay at least two seconds behind the vehicle ahead; many instructors recommend up to four. At higher speeds or on slippery roads, leave more.
You are 19. A chemical test shows a 0.03% alcohol concentration. What happens under Nevada law?
- A Only a fine, with no license action
- B You lose your driving privilege
- C Nothing, since you are under 0.08%
- D You get a warning but keep your license
Show answer
B. You lose your driving privilege
If you are under 21 and test at 0.02% or more but less than 0.08%, your driving privilege is suspended. Under NRS 483.461 the suspension lasts 90 days; the handbook's 185-day figure is the revocation for 0.08% or more. It is an administrative penalty, and the officer can take your license on the spot.
You turn left from a driveway into a center turn lane to merge with traffic. How far may you travel in that lane before merging?
- A As far as you need
- B No more than 100 feet
- C No more than 200 feet
- D No more than 50 feet
Show answer
D. No more than 50 feet
After a left turn onto the highway you may use the center lane for no more than 50 feet before merging. Remember: 200 feet before a turn, 50 feet after one.
