1. Two cars reach an intersection at the same moment and there are no signs or signals. Who normally goes first?
Correct answer: The driver on the right
With nothing controlling the crossing, the car approaching from your right is generally the one to let through. Even so, never insist on going if it risks a collision.
2. Who has priority when you are entering a Nevada roundabout?
Correct answer: Traffic already circling inside the roundabout
Drivers entering must wait for a gap, because everything already going around the circle continues without stopping. All movement runs counterclockwise.
3. How does a yield sign differ from a stop sign?
Correct answer: You may continue without halting if the way is genuinely clear
A yield sign carries the same duty to let others through, but a full stop is required only when traffic or people crossing make one necessary.
4. Where do pedestrians hold the right to cross ahead of vehicles?
Correct answer: In crosswalks and at intersections
People on foot have priority in crosswalks and at intersections, whether or not paint marks the crossing. Drivers must be ready to give way each time.
5. The handbook says one failure causes more crashes in Nevada than anything else. Which is it?
Correct answer: Failing to give the right-of-way
Not yielding is named as the leading crash cause in the state. The law never grants anyone the right to go; it only sets out who is obliged to wait.
6. A pedestrian carrying a white cane is stepping into the street. What does Nevada law require of you?
Correct answer: Give way, stop completely if needed, and take care before moving on
Someone who is blind or has low vision, whether using a white cane or a service animal, is granted priority at all times. Stopping fully is required whenever that is what safety demands.

7. At a four-way stop in Nevada, who has the first turn to move?
Correct answer: The vehicle that arrived first, after making a complete stop
Order of arrival decides it. Whoever stopped at the line earliest proceeds first, and drivers already inside the intersection finish before anyone new enters.
8. How should a Nevada driver treat a funeral procession?
Correct answer: Give way and let the group of vehicles with headlights on travel through together
A procession is treated as a unit. Let the vehicles running their headlights stay together and pass through before you take your turn.
9. A vehicle is already inside the intersection when you arrive. What is your obligation?
Correct answer: Let that vehicle finish before you enter
Being in the intersection first gives that driver priority. Wait for the space to clear rather than pushing in beside or behind them.
10. A bicyclist is riding in a marked bike lane as you approach. What must you do?
Correct answer: Give the rider the right to continue
Riders using a bike path or bike lane keep priority. Motorists give way rather than crowding, cutting across, or driving inside the marked lane.
11. What must a driver do when pulling out of a private driveway onto a main road?
Correct answer: Give way to everything on the road and to people on foot
Traffic already on the main roadway keeps its priority, and so do people walking across the driveway mouth. You enter only after both are clear.
12. You are waiting to turn left while an oncoming car is already in the intersection heading straight. Who goes first?
Correct answer: The car going straight that is already in the intersection
A driver already in the intersection traveling straight has priority over one waiting to turn left. Once you have properly signaled and given way, your turn follows.
