## When must you dim headlights for other traffic in Mississippi?
Mississippi requires low beams when you approach within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or when you are following within 500 feet of another vehicle. Do not drive with only parking lights.

## When must Mississippi headlights be used besides open-country night driving?

## A Mississippi traffic light is flashing red. What must you do?

## May you wear stereo headphones while driving on a Mississippi roadway?
Mississippi’s distraction chapter says never wear stereo headphones while you drive, and never play the car stereo so loudly that you cannot hear warning signals such as whistles and sirens.

Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Mississippi handbook.

## A traffic officer directs you to proceed over a Mississippi railroad crossing. What should you do?

## Which Mississippi vehicles must stop at every railroad crossing, even when lights are not flashing?
Mississippi requires a school bus carrying even one child, a vehicle for hire carrying passengers, and a vehicle carrying explosives or flammable liquids to stop at every railroad crossing, lights or not. Those drivers stop within 50 to 10 feet of the outer rail, look both ways, then go. Testers pass a stopped Mississippi church-style hire bus. Wait; those vehicles must stop every time.

## Which Mississippi no-parking distances does the official driver’s manual list?
Mississippi forbids parking within ten feet of a fire hydrant, twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, thirty feet of the approach to any traffic-control device, and fifteen feet of the nearest rail at a railroad crossing.

## How much room must a Mississippi driver leave when passing a bicycle?
Mississippi tells drivers to leave a safe distance of at least three feet when passing a bicycle. You may pass a same-direction bicycle in a non-passing zone only when it is safe, and you must not cut the rider off with a right turn. Three feet is the Mississippi pass gap testers reuse. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Mississippi handbook.

## An emergency vehicle with lights or siren is parked on the side of a four-lane Mississippi highway. What should you do?
Mississippi says that if an emergency vehicle with lights or siren is parked along a four-lane highway, merge into the lane away from it when that is safe. If the merge is not safe, slow down and prepare to stop. Yielding is mandatory. Testers skip the parked-on-the-shoulder case and only study moving sirens. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Mississippi handbook.

## A bicycle is ahead of you in a Mississippi no-passing zone. When may you pass it?
Mississippi’s John Paul Frerer Bicycle Safety Act (63-3-1309) requires at least three feet when you pass a bicyclist and lets a motorist pass a bicycle in a nonpassing zone, but only when it is safe. Testers treat every Mississippi yellow line as an absolute bike-pass ban. The statute carves out a safe pass, and three feet is still the gap. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Mississippi handbook.

## A Mississippi sign marks a center lane for turns. How may you use that lane?
Mississippi’s sign chapter says a marked center lane is for making turns. It is not available for normal travel or passing. Testers camp in the Mississippi two-way left-turn lane or use it to overtake. Turn, then leave; do not treat it as a third through lane. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Mississippi handbook.

Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Mississippi curb gap. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Mississippi handbook.

## May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Mississippi curb?
The official Mississippi Driver’s Manual forbids leaving a vehicle parked and unattended on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge of the road or the curb — double parking.
