Ohio permit test: practice questions

Try three questions

Three questions from the United States (Ohio) bank, as you'll see them in the app.

1. You face a steady red light at an intersection with a painted stop line. Where do you stop?

   1. Just past the stop line, so that the signal sensor in the pavement can detect your car.
   2. Behind the stop line, and do not go straight ahead until a signal to proceed appears.
   3. In the crosswalk, so that cross traffic can see you while you wait for the light.
   4. Behind the stop line, but you may go straight ahead once the road looks clear.

   Answer: Behind the stop line, and do not go straight ahead until a signal to proceed appears.

   Traffic facing a steady red stops at the marked line, or before the crosswalk, or before the intersection if neither exists, and does not go straight ahead until a signal to proceed appears. Ohio Rev. Code § 4511.13(C)(1)(a).

2. Where does state law bar turning around in the road to go the other direction?

   1. Anywhere in a residential area, no matter how clear the view is in either direction along the road.
   2. Within 1,000 feet of a school, whether or not any children are present at the time.
   3. On a curve, or near the crest of a grade, where the vehicle cannot be seen within 500 feet.
   4. On any road that has a painted center line, whether or not traffic is in sight.

   Answer: On a curve, or near the crest of a grade, where the vehicle cannot be seen within 500 feet.

   Turning around is banned where oncoming drivers could not see you from 500 feet away. Ohio Rev. Code § 4511.37.

3. Who must wear a protective helmet on a motorcycle under Ohio law?

   1. Every rider of any age, and every passenger on any motorcycle on any type of road or highway.
   2. Only riders on freeways, where speeds are the highest and crashes are the worst.
   3. Anyone under 18 or with a "novice" designation, and any passenger riding with such a rider.
   4. Only riders under age 16, since older riders have a choice about helmet use.
   Show the answer

   Answer: Anyone under 18 or with a "novice" designation, and any passenger riding with such a rider.

   A person under eighteen, or holding a novice-designated endorsement, must wear a DOT-approved helmet on a motorcycle, and so must a passenger on a motorcycle driven by such a person. Ohio Rev. Code § 4511.53.
