Idaho teens can start at 14½ with a driver training permit, which becomes a supervised instruction permit (SIP) once an approved driver ed course (required for anyone under 17) is completed. The SIP requires a minimum 6-month, violation-free supervised period with at least 50 hours of practice driving (10 at night) alongside a licensed adult 21 or older in the front seat; a traffic conviction cancels the permit and restarts the 6 months. Once licensed, drivers under 16 may drive solo only during daylight hours (defined as 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.), and drivers under 17 are limited for their first 6 months to one passenger under 17 unless the passengers are relatives.

## Whom must an Idaho driver watch for before turning a corner?
The official Idaho Driver's Manual on itd.idaho.gov says before turning a corner, watch for people about to cross the street. That corner-cue is separate from the already-shipped hawk extra. Testers invent leftover Idaho cut-the-corner-if-the-bars-look-empty courtesy. Watch-for-people-about-to-cross-before-turning-a-corner leftover from the prior extra.

## You see a funeral procession on an Idaho road. What must you avoid?
Idaho says do not drive between or join vehicles in a funeral procession unless a police officer authorizes it. Always give the procession the right-of-way. Vehicles in the line run headlights, and the first and last also flash warning lights. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## When is the opposite side of an Idaho fire-station driveway also a no-park zone?
Idaho Code 49-660 also forbids standing or parking on the side of a highway opposite a fire-station entrance within 75 feet of that entrance when the opposite side is properly sign-posted. Testers apply a 75-foot opposite buffer on every unsigned Idaho street. The opposite-side Idaho rule needs the posted sign, separate from the 20-foot driveway figure already on the parking list. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## You park outside an Idaho business or residential district. What remaining space and sight distance does Idaho require?
Idaho Code 49-659 says that outside a business or residential district you must leave the roadway when it is practicable, and in every event leave an unobstructed width opposite the standing vehicle plus a clear view of that vehicle from 200 feet in each direction. Testers invent a 10-foot Idaho remaining-width number. Two hundred feet is the Idaho rural sight figure, separate from the 18-inch curb extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## An Idaho traffic signal is not functioning. How should you treat the intersection?
Idaho’s manual says that whenever a traffic signal is not functioning, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. First to arrive goes first; if you arrive together, the vehicle on the left yields. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## An Idaho signal is a flashing circular yellow. What should you do?
Idaho says a flashing circular yellow indication means caution. Slow down, look for hazards, and proceed only when it is safe. It is not a stop and not a protected movement. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## When may an Idaho city or county let you stand or park inside the usual 30-foot approach to a roadside stop sign or signal?
Idaho Code 49-660 sets a 30-foot no-stand approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or roadside traffic-control signal, but local authorities may by ordinance, resolution, or posted signs permit vehicles six feet or less in height inside that distance. Testers treat every Idaho corner as a flat 30 feet. Six feet of height is the Idaho local-exception trap, separate from the 15 / 20 / 30 / 50 set extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## Which Idaho no-parking distances does the driver’s manual list?
Idaho forbids parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk, 30 feet of a stop sign, yield sign, or traffic signal, 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, and 50 feet of railroad tracks. Learn 15 / 20 / 30 / 50 as a set. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## How far from other traffic must Idaho headlamps be dimmed?
Idaho says headlamps must be dimmed 500 feet before meeting and 200 feet before overtaking another vehicle. When lights are needed for driving, use headlamps, not parking lights. Low beams are best when daytime vision is reduced to 500 feet or less. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## You have an Idaho green light, but vehicles are stacked in the intersection. What should you do?
Idaho tells you that if you are already in the intersection you should continue moving and clear it safely. Do not enter a packed green and then stop in the middle. Wait for space on the far side so you do not block cross traffic. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## How much clearance does Idaho call a safe margin when you pass a bicyclist and cannot change lanes?
Idaho says to move into the left lane when you can. If you cannot change lanes, pass with as much clearance as possible — a safe margin of at least three feet — and wait for a gap in oncoming traffic if you need it. Children on bikes may swerve. Three feet is the Idaho pass gap, not a following-distance count. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## An Idaho bicyclist reaches a stop sign. Must the rider come to a complete stop?
Idaho does not require bicyclists to come to a complete stop at stop signs. They must yield to vehicles already in the intersection, or close enough to be a hazard, then proceed with caution. At a red they may go after stopping and yielding; a right on red does not need a complete stop if they yield. Testers invent a full-stop-for-bikes rule. Watch for an Idaho rider who slows, yields, and rolls. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## How close to the curb must you park on an Idaho public road?
Idaho requires parking on a public road to be parallel to and within 18 inches of the curb or edge of the roadway, facing the same direction as traffic on your side. Testers copy a 12-inch number from other states. Eighteen inches is the Idaho curb gap. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## May you park on an Idaho sidewalk?
The official Idaho Driver’s Manual’s no-parking list includes sidewalks. Testers treat an Idaho walk as leftover stall space. The walk stays for people, separate from the bike-lane extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## May you park in front of an Idaho driveway?
The official Idaho Driver’s Manual NO-PARKING ZONES list says Parking is not allowed: In front of a driveway. Testers block an Idaho driveway just while they run in. The apron stays a way out, separate from the hydrant extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## May you park where an Idaho curb is painted red, or where a sign forbids parking?
The official Idaho Driver’s Manual’s no-parking list includes places prohibited by signs or a red-painted curb. Testers treat a red Idaho curb as leftover stall paint. Red means stay out, separate from the driveway extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.

## Who may park in an Idaho space reserved for handicapped persons, and what extra privilege does the manual give that vehicle?
The official Idaho Driver’s Manual reserves those spaces for vehicles displaying the handicapped symbol on a license plate or special card. Non-handicapped drivers are prohibited and may be fined. A handicapped person may park automobiles displaying that symbol in reserved spaces without paying and for unlimited time. Testers leave an unmarked Idaho car “just for a minute.” The stall stays reserved, separate from the red-curb extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Idaho handbook.
