Two lane passing — Nevada Permit Test
Two lane passing on the Nevada permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
On a two-lane road, you must not pass at or within 100 feet of a railroad crossing.
A car out in the left lane near the tracks cannot stop in time if a train or a stopped car blocks the way.
At or within 100 feet of a railroad crossing
On a two-lane road, you must not pass when coming to a curve or the top of a hill where you cannot see far enough ahead to be sure it is safe.
An oncoming car hidden behind a hill meets you head-on in its own lane, the worst kind of crash.
When coming to a curve or the top of a hill where you cannot see far enough ahead to be sure it is safe;
After passing, pull back into your lane when you can see the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror.
Cutting back in too soon clips the front of the car you just passed or makes it brake hard.
After you have passed, pull back into your lane when you can see the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror.
When a vehicle behind you signals to pass, move to the right in your lane, let it pass, and never speed up while it is passing.
Speeding up traps the passing car in the oncoming lane, where it may meet another car head-on.
When another vehicle comes up behind yours and signals to pass, move to the right in your travel lane and let it pass.
On the test
On a two-lane road, how close to a railroad crossing is passing forbidden?
100 feet. A car out in the left lane near the tracks cannot stop in time if a train or a stopped car blocks the way. Nevada Driver Handbook, p.47: “At or within 100 feet of a railroad crossing”
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.
