Slower traffic keep right — Nebraska Permit Test

Slower traffic keep right on the Nebraska permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

A vehicle going slower than the normal speed of traffic must be driven in the right lane, or as close as practicable to the right curb or edge.

A slow car in the left lane makes faster drivers weave around it on both sides.

Any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions existing must be driven in the right lane when available for traffic, or as close as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.

Nebraska Driver’s Manual, p.48

A slower driver may leave the right lane only to pass a vehicle going the same direction or to prepare for a left turn.

A left turn made from the right lane swings across every lane of cars going straight.

Any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions existing must be driven in the right lane when available for traffic, or as close as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.

On the test

If you drive slower than the normal speed of traffic, where must you drive?

In the right lane, or close to the right edge. A slow car in the left lane makes faster drivers weave around it on both sides. Nebraska Driver’s Manual, p.48: “Any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions existing must be driven in the right lane when available for traffic, or as close as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.”

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
