Right turns — Nevada Permit Test
Right turns on the Nevada permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
To turn right, you must be in the extreme right-hand travel lane or a lane designated for right turns.
Turning right from a middle lane cuts across the car beside you, which is a common side-swipe crash.
When turning right, you must be in the extreme right-hand travel lane or a lane designated for right turns.
A lane set aside only for turning right may be entered only to turn right; you may not drive straight through the intersection from it.
Drivers beside a right-turn lane expect its cars to turn, so one that goes straight can be hit broadside.
If a single lane is provided to be used only for turning, you may only enter the lane if you are making a right turn, and may not travel through an intersection while driving in the right-turn lane.
After a right turn, turn into the right-hand lane of the road you are entering, and change lanes only once you are well away from the intersection.
Swinging into a far lane on a right turn puts you in the path of cars already turning or passing there.
Turn into the right-hand lane of the roadway you are entering or the lane designated for the turn.
On the test
Which lane must you be in to make a right turn?
The far right lane or a right-turn lane. Turning right from a middle lane cuts across the car beside you, which is a common side-swipe crash. Nevada Driver Handbook, p.45: “When turning right, you must be in the extreme right-hand travel lane or a lane designated for right turns.”
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.
