Louisiana OMV permit practice test 2

C: 4 seconds. A 4-second gap leaves about 2 seconds of following distance both for you and for the car you merge ahead of. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Space to Merge, page 106.

B: Proof of future financial responsibility (SR-22) or $30,000 cash or security, kept for 3 years. You must file an SR-22 (high-risk insurance) or $30,000 cash/security and maintain it for three years. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Administrative Per Se, page 131.

A: Applying the parking brake suddenly. Don't put on the parking brake suddenly; let the car slow, downshift, then gradually apply the hand brake. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Brakes fail, page 122.

D: Class E. Class E is the ordinary license for one vehicle under 10,001 pounds; it covers passenger cars, RVs and some farm vehicles. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Classes of License, page 7.

A: Yield. The downward-pointing triangle is used exclusively for yield signs. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Traffic Signs, page 28.

B: Drivers turning right on red from the other side, and pedestrians. Oncoming and crossing traffic should yield, but be careful of others turning right on red and pedestrians. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Traffic Signals, page 38.

A: To the left (to traffic already circulating). Look left before you enter: traffic already circulating has priority over entering vehicles. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Roundabouts, page 42.

B: May not start to cross, but those already crossing may continue. A flashing DON'T WALK tells pedestrians not to step off the curb; anyone already crossing may finish to the sidewalk, an island or a safety zone. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Pedestrian Safety, page 81.

D: Snugly across the hips. Wear the lap belt snug and low across the hips; hip bones can take crash forces better than the abdomen can. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Use of Safety Belts, page 44.

A: At least 4 seconds. Stay at least four seconds behind a motorcycle, more on wet roads, so you have room if the rider falls or stops suddenly. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Sharing the Road with Motorcycles, page 87.

C: 3/4 second to 1 second. Average perception time for an alert driver is 3/4 second to 1 second. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Stopping Distances, page 69.

C: Toward the edge of the road, whether uphill or downhill. Without a curb, point the wheels toward the road's edge on both uphill and downhill slopes so the car would roll off the road, not into traffic. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Parking on Hills, page 73.

C: The driver on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right. If two vehicles get to the intersection together, the one on the left gives way to the one on the right. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Right of Way, page 98.

B: One-third more violent. Crash force grows faster than speed: the guide says a head-on impact at 35 mph is a third more violent than at 30 mph. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Speed, page 91.

A: Passing. On interstates with three or more lanes each way, the right lane serves entering and exiting traffic, the middle is usually for travel, and the leftmost is for passing. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Right-Hand Lane, page 106.

B: 180 days. A BAC of 0.08% to 0.149% for drivers 21+ brings a 180-day suspension. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Administrative Per Se, page 131.

B: Put the gear shift in neutral. Shift to neutral, try to free the pedal, turn off the ignition carefully (don't lock the steering), brake and pull off. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Gas pedal sticks, page 122.

B: 17. Class D requires a minimum age of seventeen. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Age Requirement (R.S. 32:408), page 9.

C: A construction zone. Diamond signs are warning signs; orange diamonds are used in construction zones. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Traffic Signs, page 28.

C: Slow down, look for traffic entering the intersection and proceed with caution. A flashing yellow means slow down, look for entering traffic and proceed with caution; stop if traffic is in the intersection. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Traffic Signals, page 38.

D: Never stop; continue to your exit. Don't stop once you are in the roundabout; circulating vehicles have priority, so keep moving to your exit. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Roundabouts, page 42.

D: Do not pass it; be prepared to stop for pedestrians. You should not pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk; it may be hiding a crossing pedestrian. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Pedestrian Safety, page 81.

A: A rear-facing car seat. Louisiana's child restraint law calls for a rear-facing, federally approved car seat from birth until at least age 2. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Use of Safety Belts, page 45.

C: 4-5 seconds. Leave a gap of at least four to five seconds behind a truck, even longer when conditions are poor. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Following trucks, page 89.

C: 268 feet. Counting perception, reaction and braking, a car at 50 mph needs at least 268 feet to stop. Class D & E Driver's Guide: Stopping Distances, page 70.
