Sample Nevada DMV practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Rules of the Road
You are approaching a non-signalized intersection with a yield sign. A vehicle on the intersecting road is approaching, but its speed suggests it will reach the intersection after you. However, you are unsure if they are aware of your presence. What is the safest and most legally sound course of action?
- A.Stop completely at the yield line, assess the other vehicle's speed and intent, and proceed only when it is safe and clear.(Correct)
- B.Proceed through the intersection without stopping, assuming the other vehicle will yield to you.
- C.Accelerate to try and beat the other vehicle through the intersection.
- D.Slow down and proceed cautiously, honking your horn to alert the other driver.
Explanation
A yield sign requires you to slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. Even if you believe you have the right-of-way based on speed, stopping completely at the yield line allows you to fully assess the situation and ensures you do not enter the intersection unsafely. Proceeding without stopping (A) is a violation and dangerous. Slowing and honking (C) is not a substitute for yielding or stopping when necessary. Accelerating (D) is extremely dangerous and could lead to a collision.
- Question 2Traffic Signs and Signals
You are approaching an intersection where the traffic signal is flashing yellow. What should you do?
- A.Accelerate to clear the intersection quickly.
- B.Stop, then proceed when safe, as if it were a stop sign.
- C.Proceed with caution through the intersection.(Correct)
- D.Stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear before proceeding.
Explanation
A flashing yellow light means to proceed with caution. You should slow down, be alert for other traffic, and proceed through the intersection only when it is safe to do so. Stopping is required for a flashing red light, not a flashing yellow. Accelerating may lead to a collision.
- Question 3Alcohol, Drugs, and DUI
A police officer is directing traffic at an intersection because the traffic signal is not working. You should proceed through the intersection only when:
- A.The intersection is clear of traffic and pedestrians.
- B.You make eye contact with the officer and they signal you to go.(Correct)
- C.The officer waves all traffic through at once.
- D.You assume the light is green and proceed cautiously.
Explanation
You must follow the directions of a police officer directing traffic, even if their signals contradict normal traffic signals or signs. Make eye contact with the officer and wait for their explicit signal to proceed. Never assume it's safe or that you have permission to go; always wait for the officer's directive. When in doubt, wait for clear instructions.
