Tennessee permit test: practice questions

Try three questions

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

1. Two drivers from opposite directions both want to use the two-way left-turn lane in the middle of the road. Who has the right to the lane?

   1. The driver with the larger vehicle, because it needs more room to turn
   2. The driver traveling in the right lane, since that vehicle is nearer to the curb and to the center lane
   3. The driver on the left, since each takes the lane on the left side
   4. The first vehicle to enter the lane, and the other driver may not enter if it would interfere

   Answer: The first vehicle to enter the lane, and the other driver may not enter if it would interfere

   When vehicles enter the shared turn lane from opposite directions, the first to enter has the right-of-way. Entering the lane just before the turn and waiting for a gap keeps the lane available for others.

2. A 17-year-old driver has a BAC of .02 percent. How does Tennessee law treat this?

   1. As underage driving while impaired, which can mean a year without a license and a $250 fine
   2. As a parking violation with a small fine
   3. As a warning only, with no effect on the license
   4. As legal driving, since the limit for every driver of any age is .08 percent anywhere in Tennessee

   Answer: As underage driving while impaired, which can mean a year without a license and a $250 fine

   A driver who is at least 16 but not yet 21 is convicted of underage driving while impaired at a BAC of .02 or if under the influence of any intoxicant. The penalty includes a one-year license loss and a $250 fine.

3. You are involved in a crash. What does Tennessee law require you to do first?

   1. Wait until the other driver contacts you
   2. Leave the scene at once and report the crash to the police later that same day or the next
   3. Stop immediately at the scene or as near to it as you can without blocking traffic
   4. Move your vehicle several blocks away from the scene
   Show the answer

   Answer: Stop immediately at the scene or as near to it as you can without blocking traffic

   Drivers must stop. Leaving the scene of a crash with injury or death can lead to loss of license, and staying lets you provide information and aid.
