1. Why should you avoid changing speed or lane position sharply as you enter an intersection?
Correct answer: Drivers may conclude you are about to turn
A sudden change reads as a turn to the drivers around you, and one who acts on that guess can put a vehicle in your path.

2. How close may you follow fire apparatus that is running in emergency status?
Correct answer: No closer than 500 feet
No closer than 500 feet, and you may not drive onto or park in the block where the apparatus has stopped for the emergency.

4. What causes more than half of the crashes between motorcycles and cars?
Correct answer: Drivers taking the rider's right-of-way
Drivers taking a rider's right-of-way account for over half of these crashes, with left-turning cars and vehicles pulling out of side streets the worst offenders.

5. Entering a Nebraska roundabout, whom must you yield to?
Correct answer: Traffic already in the roundabout coming from your left
Yield to traffic already circulating that is approaching from your left, and to people walking or cycling in the crosswalk both as you go in and as you come out.

6. You are pulling out of an alley or a parking lot onto a Nebraska street. What must you do first?

7. A driver at a cross street looks ready to pull across your path. What does the manual tell you to do?
Correct answer: Slow, improve your lane position, and cover the clutch and brakes
Slow, take a lane position that makes you easier for that driver to see, and keep your fingers over the clutch lever and both brakes so you can react sooner; move away from the vehicle as you enter the intersection.

8. Approaching a blind intersection, which part of the lane should you take?
Correct answer: The portion that brings you into the other driver's view soonest
Take up whichever part of the lane puts you into the other driver's field of view as soon as possible — away from the parked car or building that is hiding you.

9. At a four-way stop in Nebraska, what is the common-courtesy rule and the tiebreaker?
Correct answer: Whoever stopped first goes first, and when that is unclear the driver on your right has it
Whoever stopped first should be allowed to go first; when that is unclear, yield to the driver on your right — and never insist on the right-of-way at the risk of a collision.

10. Which driver movements does the manual call the biggest dangers to a rider at an intersection?
Correct answer: Cars turning left in front of you and cars pulling in from side streets
Cars turning left across your path — including one turning left out of the lane to your right — and cars coming out of side streets into your lane.

11. A car ahead of you suddenly begins a U-turn. What is the recommended response?
Correct answer: Slow down, use your horn, and continue with caution
You cannot know what the driver will do next, so slow and get their attention — the horn is appropriate here — then carry on carefully.

12. You are stopped at a stop sign where parked cars block your view of cross traffic. What comes next?
Correct answer: Edge forward and stop again short of the cross lane, then look
Stop at the sign or line first, then creep ahead and halt a second time just before the cross-traffic lane begins, leaning forward to look past whatever hides your view — and keep the front wheel out of that lane.
