Free NJ Permit Test Exam Flashcards

A survey question about organ donation. The test is offered in English, American Sign Language, and 12 other languages, and applicants who cannot read any of them are given headphones for an oral test.

Ten. Passing requires 80 percent, which is 40 correct answers out of the 50 scored questions.

Two years from the test date (N.J.A.C. 13:21-8.6). The same regulation bars anyone who fails from retesting for at least one week after the failure.

Six Points of ID, proof of a Social Security number, and one proof of a New Jersey residential address for a Standard license; a REAL ID requires two address proofs. Applicants under 18 also need signed parent or guardian consent.

Sixteen for a special learner permit on the Early Bird road, which requires enrollment in an approved behind-the-wheel course; 17 for an examination permit on the Young Adult road; and 21 for the Adult road.

Only with a documented employment exemption - otherwise GDL permit and probationary drivers under 21 may not drive between 11:01 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Religious need is the other exemption, and the signed certification on official letterhead must be carried in the vehicle (N.J.A.C. 13:21-8.18).

The permit holder's dependents. Everyone else counts, so an examination permit or probationary driver under 21 may carry dependents plus one additional passenger unless a parent or guardian is in the vehicle.

In the front seat. The supervisor must be at least 21, hold a valid New Jersey driver license, and have at least three years of driving experience.

One on the top left corner of the front license plate and one on the top left corner of the rear plate, on any vehicle a permit or probationary driver under 21 operates. They cost $4 per pair.

Three months. Permit holders under 21 need six months and at least 50 practice hours, 10 of them during darkness, documented on the Certification of Supervised Driving (BA-CSD) form presented at the road test.

Only as a secondary offense, if the vehicle was stopped for another reason. For the driver, front-seat passengers, and anyone under 18, an unbuckled belt is a primary offense that alone justifies a stop.

Children under age two who weigh less than 30 pounds, in a federally approved rear-facing seat with a five-point harness. Children under eight and shorter than 57 inches must ride in a restraint or booster in a rear seat.

About 343 feet - 66 feet of reaction distance at the typical three-quarter-second reaction time plus 277 feet of braking. At night the manual assumes a 1.5-second reaction time, so the total grows to 409 feet.

Cancel it, because a signal left on misleads other drivers. The signal must be shown continuously for at least the last 100 feet before the turn (N.J.S.A. 39:4-126).

A right turn. Hand and arm straight out means a left turn, and hand and arm downward with the palm facing the rear means stopping or slowing - New Jersey law requires drivers to know all three.

Toward the curb, with the hand brake set and the transmission in park or, with a manual, in reverse. Facing uphill, turn the wheels away from the curb and use park or low gear.

They double for exceeding 65 mph by 10 mph or more, and for most other moving violations in a 65 mph zone (N.J.S.A. 39:4-98.6). Below that, the statutory limits are 25 mph in school zones and business or residential districts, 35 mph in suburban districts, 50 mph on non-posted rural roads, and 55 mph on posted state highways and interstates.

Only on a dual highway when you are on the other side of a safety island or raised median, or when the bus is stopped directly in front of a school - and then from either direction at no more than 10 mph. Everywhere else, including two-lane roads, multi-lane roads divided only by lines, and private roads, stop at least 25 feet away.

$100 to $500 (N.J.S.A. 39:4-92.2), and penalty points can follow a third conviction. The law covers stopped emergency, tow, maintenance, and other service vehicles with flashing lights, plus disabled vehicles showing hazard lights, flares, or reflective triangles; move a lane away or, if you cannot, slow below the posted limit and be ready to stop.

At least 300 feet (N.J.S.A. 39:4-92). As it approaches, steer to the extreme right, stop, and wait; and never park within 200 feet of a fire department vehicle in service or drive over a fire hose.

Yes. N.J.S.A. 39:3-46 requires headlights whenever the windshield wipers are in use, as well as from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise and whenever visibility is 500 feet or less.

They are hard to see and may have a green light, so after a full stop you must yield to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians before turning. Right on red is legal in New Jersey unless a No Turn on Red sign is posted (N.J.S.A. 39:4-115).

Hands-free only, and only for drivers with a basic license - hand-held calling and texting are primary offenses fined $200 to $400 for a first offense. GDL permit and probationary drivers may not use any electronic device at all, hands-free included.

No closer than 10 feet from a fire hydrant, 25 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection, or 50 feet from a stop sign or a railroad crossing. A parked vehicle must also be within six inches of the curb.

Leave one car length, about 20 feet, for every 10 mph of speed - roughly five car lengths at 50 mph. Increase the gap at higher speeds or in bad weather.

Pick a fixed object ahead; when the vehicle in front passes it, count seconds until you reach it. Three seconds is the minimum, four or more in bad weather, and six or more on snow-covered roads.

Wet surfaces can start lifting tires at about 35 mph, and above 55 mph the tires may leave the road entirely, making braking and steering nearly impossible. Worn tires and standing water raise the risk.

Take your foot off the gas, steer in the direction the rear is sliding without oversteering, and look where you want the vehicle to go. Avoid using the brakes during a side skid.

Only between November 15 and April 1. Snow tires help in snow but not on ice; tire chains give the best traction on ice and in deep or hard-packed snow.

Stop alongside the road or on the shoulder, out of the way of traffic, and turn on the emergency flashers. While still driving in fog, slow down and keep headlights on low beam, with fog lights on if the vehicle has them.

Within 10 days when property damage exceeds $500 or someone is injured and no police report was filed. Police must be notified of any crash involving injury, death, or property damage.

0.08 percent or higher for drivers 21 and over (N.J.S.A. 39:4-50), and 0.01 percent or higher for anyone under 21 (N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.14).

A 12-ounce beer, a 5-ounce glass of 12 percent wine, or 1.5 ounces of 86-proof liquor. Each contains about half an ounce of alcohol, so the type of drink does not matter.

About 90 percent is oxidized by the liver; the other 10 percent leaves through breath, urine, and sweat. Because that happens only with time, coffee, food, and cold showers cannot sober anyone up.

Refusal is illegal under the implied consent law. It brings a $1,000 surcharge every year for three years, loss of driving privileges, referral to an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, and on a first refusal an ignition interlock for 9 to 15 months after restoration.

15 to 30 days, plus a 30- to 90-day loss of driving privileges and participation in an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center or an alcohol education and highway safety program (N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.14).

A $250 to $400 fine, 12 to 48 hours at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, up to 30 days in jail, and a $1,000 surcharge each year for three years, plus statutory fund fees.

Two points for 1 to 14 mph over the limit, four points for 15 to 29 mph over, and five points for 30 mph or more over the limit.

At six or more points posted within three years: $150 for the first six points plus $25 for each additional point, charged every year for three years on top of any court fines.

Up to three points come off for each year without a violation or suspension, never below zero, and an approved defensive driving course removes two more - but the MVC credits such a course only once every five years.

Slow to 25 mph and be prepared to stop until you can pass safely. Otherwise move over a lane where one exists, or leave at least a four-foot safety zone on a single-lane road; causing bodily injury brings a $500 fine and two points.

A fine of up to $500, up to 25 days in jail, community service, a driving-privilege suspension of up to six months, and two points (N.J.S.A. 39:4-36). Drivers must stop and stay stopped at marked crosswalks and yield to pedestrians in unmarked crosswalks at intersections.

As much as 25 percent longer. Stay out of its no-zones - the blind spots in front, behind, and along both sides where the driver cannot see you in the mirrors.

A freight train traveling at 55 mph can take a mile or more to stop, so trains always have the right of way. Do not pass another vehicle within 100 feet of a crossing, and never stop on the tracks.

Every two years, once a gasoline-fueled vehicle of model year 1996 or newer is more than five model years old. Newer passenger vehicles carry a dealer sticker that expires five years after initial registration.

Four years for the initial registration of a brand-new vehicle, and typically one year for every other registration. New residents must title and register a vehicle within 60 days, and liability insurance is mandatory.

The eight-sided octagon is used only for STOP and the downward-pointing triangle only for YIELD. A five-sided pentagon marks school signs, and a round yellow sign is the advance warning for a railroad crossing.

White regulates, such as speed limits; yellow warns of hazards; orange marks construction and maintenance; green gives directional guidance; blue lists motorist services; and brown points to recreation or scenic areas.

Stop behind it for the traffic signal or stop sign. Along the road, white lines separate lanes moving the same way and mark the edge, while yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions.

Slow down and proceed with care. A flashing red light is different: stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians, and go only when it is safe.
