- A. 15 feet

2. Under Nebraska's Implied Consent law, what is the administrative license revocation for refusing a chemical test?
- A. 180 days
- B. One year (correct)

3. In most states, you must not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant?
- A. 5 feet
- B. 10 feet
- C. 15 feet (correct)
- D. 30 feet
Why: Most states (including California, Texas, New York, Florida and Pennsylvania) prohibit parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Some use a shorter distance (for example 10 feet in Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon), so check your state handbook.
4. A small sign below a railroad crossbuck shows the number 2. What does it tell you?
- A. Trains come through here about twice a day
- B. Stop at least two car lengths from the rails
- C. The crossing is two miles down the road
- D. There are two sets of tracks at the crossing (correct)
Why: When a crossing has more than one track, a sign under the crossbuck shows how many tracks there are. Be ready for a train on any of them.
5. When entering a highway from an on-ramp, who has the right of way?
- A. The merging vehicle
- B. Traffic already on the highway (correct)
- C. The larger vehicle, such as a truck
- D. Whoever reaches the merge point first
Why: Traffic already on the highway has the right of way. The merging driver must adjust speed to safely enter the flow of traffic - do not force other drivers to slow down.
6. A yellow sign showing a truck tilted on two wheels warns of:
- A. A steep downhill grade for trucks
- B. A curve where trucks may tip over (correct)
- C. A truck inspection station
- D. A road with soft shoulders ahead
Why: This sign warns of a curve sharp enough that trucks and top-heavy vehicles risk rolling over. All drivers should reduce speed before entering.
