A driver's license is required for which of the following? 1. sitting in the driver's seat of a car while the engine is running. 2. Steering a car while it is being pushed or towed by another vehicle.
- A.
  
  1 only
- B.
  
  2 only
- C.
  
  Both 1 and 2
- D.
  
  Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer
C. Both 1 and 2

Explanation
A driver's license is required for both sitting in the driver's seat of a car while the engine is running and steering a car while it is being pushed or towed by another vehicle. In both scenarios, the individual is operating a vehicle in some capacity, which requires a valid driver's license.

Rate this question:
2.

If a law enforcement officer swears that a driver has refused a legal chemical test, the Division of Motor vehicles must
- A.
  
  Place the driver on probation
- B.
  
  Wait for a court decision before taking action
- C.
  
  Assign the driver to the Driver improvement Clinic
- D.
  
  Revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months
Correct Answer
D. Revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months

Explanation
If a law enforcement officer swears that a driver has refused a legal chemical test, the Division of Motor Vehicles must revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months. This means that if an officer testifies that a driver refused to take a chemical test (such as a breathalyzer) to determine their blood alcohol concentration, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to take action and suspend the driver's license for a minimum of 12 months. This is a serious consequence for refusing to comply with the legal test, as it is considered a violation of driving under the influence laws.

Which of the following happen(s) under the point system? I. A driver is sent a warning letter when he gets 4 points within 3 years. II. A driver who gets 12 points within 3 years may lose his license.
- A.
  
  I only
- B.
  
  II only
- C.
  
  Both I and II
- D.
  
  Neither I nor II
Correct Answer
B. II only

Explanation
Under the point system, a driver is sent a warning letter when they accumulate 4 points within 3 years. However, it is not mentioned that a driver who gets 12 points within 3 years may lose their license. Therefore, the correct answer is II only.

Rate this question:
4.

When a driver has a total of 7 points, which of the following may happen ? I. the driver can be required to file proof of financial responsibility. ll. the driver can have 3 points deducted if he satisfactorily completes a Driver Improvement Clinic.
- A.
  
  I only
- B.
  
  II only
- C.
  
  Both I and II
- D.
  
  Neither I nor II
Correct Answer
B. II only

Explanation
When a driver has a total of 7 points, it means that they have accumulated a certain number of traffic violations or infractions. In this case, only statement II is correct. The driver can have 3 points deducted if they satisfactorily complete a Driver Improvement Clinic. This means that by attending and successfully completing the clinic, the driver can have their points reduced, which can help improve their driving record and potentially avoid further consequences or penalties. However, statement I is incorrect as having 7 points does not necessarily require the driver to file proof of financial responsibility.

Rate this question:
5.

Conviction for which of the following carries the highest number of points ?
- A.
  
  Reckless driving
- B.
  
  Hit and run with property damage
- C.
  
  Driving without a license
- D.
  
  Passing a stopped school bus unloading children
Correct Answer
D. Passing a stopped school bus unloading children

Explanation
Passing a stopped school bus unloading children carries the highest number of points because it is an extremely dangerous and illegal action that puts the lives of children at risk. This offense is taken very seriously by law enforcement and carries severe penalties, including a high number of points on the driver's record. Reckless driving, hit and run with property damage, and driving without a license are also serious offenses, but passing a stopped school bus unloading children is considered to be the most egregious due to the potential harm caused to vulnerable individuals.

Rate this question:
6.

Driver will loss his license if he is convicted of
- A.
  
  Driving without a license
- B.
  
  passing a stopped school bus
- C.
  
  Failing to yield the right of way
- D.
  
  Speeding more than 70 mph in a 55 mph zone
Correct Answer
D. Speeding more than 70 mpH in a 55 mpH zone

Explanation
If a driver is convicted of speeding more than 70 mph in a 55 mph zone, he will lose his license. This is because exceeding the speed limit by such a significant margin is considered a serious violation of traffic laws and poses a greater risk to the driver and other road users. Speeding is a common cause of accidents and is therefore heavily penalized to deter drivers from engaging in reckless behavior.

- B.
  
  II only
- C.
  
  Both I and II
- D.
  
  Neither I nor II
Correct Answer
C. Both I and II

Explanation
To get a revoked driver's license restored, a person must obtain permission from the Driver License Section in Raleigh to reapply for a license. They must also go to the driver License office, pay a restoration fee, and reapply for a license. Both actions are necessary in order to have the revoked driver's license restored.

  I only
- B.
  
  II only
- C.
  
  Both I and II
- D.
  
  Neither I nor II
Correct Answer
A. I only

Explanation
Roughly half of all traffic fatalities involve a drunken person. This means that in 50% of traffic fatalities, alcohol impairment is a contributing factor. The statement does not mention anything about multiple cars being involved in the accidents, so we cannot conclude that more than one car is a factor in these fatalities. Therefore, the correct answer is "I only".

Rate this question:

- D.
  
  67%
Correct Answer
C. 50%

Explanation
Based on the given options, the correct answer is 50%. This suggests that approximately half of the highway deaths are caused by drunken individuals. This statistic highlights the significant impact of alcohol consumption on road safety and emphasizes the need for stricter measures to prevent drunk driving.

  I only
- B.
  
  II only
- C.
  
  Both I and II
- D.
  
  Neither I nor II
Correct Answer
A. I only

Explanation
In cities, 2 out of 5 people killed in motor vehicle accidents are pedestrians. This statement implies that a significant number of pedestrians are involved in fatal accidents in urban areas. However, the second statement, which claims that most of the pedestrians killed in all traffic accidents are teenagers, is not mentioned or supported by any evidence. Therefore, it is not correct.
