FREE New York DMV Practice Test #15 Page 3 of 3
New York's DMV practise examinations have been revised for January 2024. It includes questions based on the New York Driver Handbook's most significant traffic signals and legislation for 2024. Use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam to study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
On the practise exam, each question gets a tip and explanation to help you remember the concepts. The written component of the official New York DMV test will feature questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as knowledge from the Driver Handbook.
To obtain a passing grade, you must correctly answer 14 of the 20 questions. Take this practise test from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles to help you prepare for your instruction permit or driver's licence.
The DMV exam is available in several languages.
Using any kind of testing assistance will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take additional action against your driver's licence, so stay away from it.

15 . When driving behind another vehicle under ideal driving conditions, you should follow the ____ rule.
Half-mile

16 . What kinds of drugs can affect your driving ability?
All of these choices

17 . What does it mean when a school bus is stopped on a roadway and its red lights are flashing?
You may pass if it is on the opposite side of a divided highway.
When a stopped school bus is flashing its red lights, all traffic approaching the bus from any direction must stop at least 20 feet away from the bus. You may not resume driving until the red lights stop flashing or when the bus driver or a traffic officer signals that you can proceed. In New York State, you must stop for a school bus even if it is on the opposite side of a divided highway.
18 . How can you lower the risk of hydroplaning?
All of the above.
Hydroplaning happens when a vehicle glides on top of a thin layer of water between its tires and the road. Tires with low air pressure or bad tread can increase the risk of hydroplaning. Speeding also increases the risk.
19 . If you are parked parallel to the curb, you may get out of the car on the traffic side only:
If you use your four-way flashers first.
After parallel parking, you must not open your door if it will interfere with bicyclists or other traffic. Check for traffic before exiting your vehicle.
20 . If you need to drive in foggy weather:
Do not drive at a speed above 10 miles per hour.
You are required to use your headlights during the day when visibility is reduced to 500 feet or less. When you first turn on your headlights, be sure they are adjusted to the low beam setting. Using high beams in fog or rain will cause the light to reflect back into your eyes, lowering visibility even more.
