1. You hold a Stage II restricted license in Alabama. How many passengers besides your parents, guardians, or family members may ride with you?
- A None
- B One
- C Two
- D Three
Correct answer: B. Alabama's graduated license law caps Stage II drivers at one passenger besides parents, guardians, or family members. Extra teen passengers multiply distraction and crash risk. Think: Stage II, two people who aren't family — you plus one.
2. Under Alabama's graduated driver license law, a Stage II restricted license generally bars unsupervised driving during which hours?
- A 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- B 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- C Midnight to 6:00 a.m.
- D 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Correct answer: C. Stage II drivers in Alabama may not drive between midnight and 6:00 a.m. unless supervised or traveling for work, school, religious events, or an emergency. Fatigue and dark roads raise teen crash risk. Remember: midnight to six.
3. With an Alabama Stage I learner license, you may practice driving only when which person rides in the front seat beside you?
- A Any licensed driver at least 18 years old
- B Any adult family member, licensed or not
- C A friend who has held a license for one year
- D A parent, guardian, or licensed driver 21 or older
Correct answer: D. Alabama Stage I learners must be supervised from the front seat by a parent, legal guardian, licensed driver age 21 or older, or a certified instructor. New drivers need an experienced coach within reach. Hook: 21 and beside you.
4. If you violate a restriction of your Alabama Stage II license, what happens to your restricted period?
- A It is extended by six months or until you turn 18
- B Nothing, unless you collect three violations
- C Your license is permanently revoked
- D You must retake the knowledge test immediately
Correct answer: A. Breaking an Alabama graduated license restriction stretches the restricted period by six months or until your 18th birthday. The extension gives risky drivers more supervised seasoning. Memory hook: break a rule, buy six more months.
5. To advance under Alabama's graduated driver license program, a teen must present either proof of an approved driver education course or a signed form verifying how many hours of supervised driving practice?
- A 30 hours
- B 40 hours
- C 50 hours
- D 60 hours
Correct answer: C. Alabama requires a form signed by a parent, grandparent, guardian, or instructor verifying at least 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice, unless the teen completed approved driver education. Practice builds judgment. Hook: fifty before freedom.
6. Under Alabama's Hands-Free Law, what is the penalty for a first conviction of holding a phone while driving?
- A $25 fine and no points
- B $50 fine and 1 point
- C $100 fine and 2 points
- D $150 fine and 3 points
Correct answer: B. Alabama's Hands-Free Law, effective June 2024, sets escalating penalties: $50 and one point first, $100 and two, then $150 and three within 24 months. Holding a phone invites drifting. Hook: fifty bucks, first slip.
7. Each time you take the knowledge test for an Alabama learner license, what fee applies?
- A $5 per test, personal checks welcome
- B $10 per test, cards only
- C Free first attempt, then $5 each retake
- D $5 per test, and checks are not accepted
Correct answer: D. Alabama charges $5 for every knowledge test attempt, and checks are never accepted. The fee repeats each try, so studying the Alabama Driver Manual before test day saves money. Hook: five dollars, every sitting, no checks.
8. You are driving on an unpaved county road in Alabama with no speed limit signs. What is the maximum lawful speed?
- A 25 mph
- B 30 mph
- C 35 mph
- D 45 mph
Correct answer: C. Alabama law caps unpaved roads at 35 mph unless otherwise posted. Loose gravel and dirt cut traction, so stopping and steering take longer. Memory hook: no pavement, hold it to 35.
9. Unless a different limit is posted, what is the maximum speed on a paved county road in an unincorporated area of Alabama?
- A 35 mph
- B 40 mph
- C 45 mph
- D 55 mph
Correct answer: C. Alabama sets 45 mph as the statutory limit on county-maintained paved roads outside cities unless signs say otherwise. These roads mix driveways, farm equipment, and curves. Hook: county pavement, 45 — ten above unpaved.
10. In Alabama, driving 26 mph or more over the speed limit adds how many points to your driving record?
- A 2 points
- B 3 points
- C 4 points
- D 5 points
Correct answer: D. Alabama assigns 5 points for speeding 26 mph or more over the limit, versus 2 points for lesser speeding. Bigger speed gaps mean deadlier crashes. Hook: past 25 over, the points jump to five.
11. Under Alabama's implied consent law, what happens if you are arrested for DUI and refuse a chemical breath test?
- A Your driver license is suspended
- B Nothing happens until a court rules
- C You pay a fine but keep your license
- D Only repeat offenders are penalized
Correct answer: A. By driving on Alabama's public highways you have already consented to chemical testing of blood, breath, or urine; refusing an officer's test after a DUI arrest brings license suspension. Hook: drive here, you've agreed to the test.
12. How long will your Alabama driver license be suspended after a first DUI conviction?
- A 30 days
- B 60 days
- C 90 days
- D One year
Correct answer: C. A first Alabama DUI conviction brings a 90-day license suspension plus a fine of $600 to $2,100 and possible jail up to one year. Impaired driving kills. Hook: first DUI, ninety days parked.
13. A school bus ahead of you in Alabama stops with flashing red lights and its stop arm extended. How far from the bus must you stop?
- A At least 10 feet
- B At least 20 feet
- C At least 30 feet
- D At least 50 feet
Correct answer: B. Alabama requires drivers approaching from either direction to stop at least 20 feet from a school bus with flashing red lights and stop arm out. Children cross near the bus unpredictably. Hook: red means stop, twenty feet clear.
14. On an Alabama highway with four or more lanes, an emergency vehicle is stopped ahead with flashing lights. What does Alabama's move-over law require first?
- A Stop completely on the shoulder
- B Sound your horn and continue at the limit
- C Turn on hazard lights and slow by 5 mph
- D Vacate the lane closest to the emergency vehicle
Correct answer: D. Alabama's move-over law tells drivers on roads with four or more lanes to leave the lane nearest a stopped emergency vehicle or wrecker; if changing lanes is unsafe, slow to 15 mph below the posted limit. Hook: move over or slow way down.
15. You are driving in Alabama on a divided highway with four lanes when a school bus stops in the opposite roadway with red lights flashing. What does Alabama law require of you?
- A Stop until the lights stop flashing
- B Continue with caution; stopping is not required
- C Slow to 20 mph while passing
- D Change lanes away from the bus
Correct answer: B. On an Alabama divided highway with four or more lanes allowing two-way travel, drivers meeting a school bus stopped across the divider need not stop. The barrier keeps children out of your roadway. Hook: divided road, divided duty.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Alabama?
- A Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Alabama, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Alabama permit. When in doubt, start at the ALEA site.
17. You need to confirm a Alabama permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) website or official Alabama driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. Practice sites, including this one, can be wrong or out of date. Alabama's ALEA publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Alabama page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Alabama roads?
- A The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) and Alabama law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are Alabama law, explained by the ALEA. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Alabama version, not a generic US version.
19. Who publishes the official Alabama driver manual used for the knowledge test?
- A PUBLISHED BY ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Alabama Driver Manual cover says PUBLISHED BY ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION. Testers invent leftover federal exam names. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
20. Where is the official Alabama driver handbook published?
- A By the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The ALEA publishes the Alabama handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Alabama?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Alabama lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the ALEA. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. For a driver 21 or older in Alabama, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Alabama sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and Alabama can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
23. Drivers under 21 in Alabama are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Alabama uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: 0.02%. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Alabama, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
24. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Alabama is:
- A 30 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Alabama's typical unposted residential / city default is 30 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 30 mph and watch the next plaque.
25. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Alabama?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Alabama's highest posted highway limit is 70 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Alabama is signed at the state maximum.
26. Can you take the official Alabama Knowledge Test from home on the internet?
- A No. The ALEA gives the Knowledge Test in person, not as a take-home web exam
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The ALEA administers the Alabama Knowledge Test in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the ALEA lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.
27. Which fee listing matches what the ALEA currently publishes for a Alabama permit or license application?
- A Knowledge test (written exam): $5 per attempt. Stage I learner license: $36.25. Stage II restricted license (after the road test): $36.25. Stage III: $31.25 for a restriction-free duplicate when a Stage II license is presented, or $36.25 at 18 and older without a prior Stage II. The Driver License Division accepts only cash or money orders, and fees may run slightly higher in some counties.
- B There is never a fee in Alabama
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The ALEA lists this Alabama amount: Knowledge test (written exam): $5 per attempt. Stage I learner license: $36.25. Stage II restricted license (after the road test): $36.25. Stage III: $31.25 for a restriction-free duplicate when a Stage II license is presented, or $36.25 at 18 and older without a prior Stage II. The Driver License Division accepts only cash or money orders, and fees may run slightly higher in some counties.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
28. Which statement correctly describes Alabama's published graduated-licensing rules for new drivers?
- A Alabama's graduated driver license law (Act 2010-735) begins with a Stage I learner license at 15, valid only when a parent, legal guardian, or licensed driver age 21 or older (or a certified instructor) occupies the front seat beside the learner. At 16, after holding Stage I for six months and documenting 50 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice or an approved driver education course, the driver moves to a Stage II restricted license: no more than one passenger besides parents, guardians, or family members, no handheld communication devices, and no driving from midnight to 6 a.m. except with a parent or approved supervisor or for school, religious, work, or emergency travel. Stage III unrestricted status comes at 17 after six months in Stage II, or at 18; violating a restriction extends the restricted period by six months or until age 18.
- B New drivers in Alabama may drive alone on a permit with no supervising adult at any hour.
- C Alabama has no night, passenger, or practice-hour rules for teens.
- D A Alabama permit is valid nationwide as a full unrestricted license.
Correct answer: A. Alabama's GDL summary from the ALEA: Alabama's graduated driver license law (Act 2010-735) begins with a Stage I learner license at 15, valid only when a parent, legal guardian, or licensed driver age 21 or older (or a certified instructor) occupies the front seat beside the learner. At 16, after holding Stage I for six months and documenting 50 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice or an approved driver education course, the driver moves to a Stage II restricted license: no more than one passenger besides parents, guardians, or family members, no handheld communication devices, and no driving from midnight to 6 a.m. except with a parent or approved supervisor or for school, religious, work, or emergency travel. Stage III unrestricted status comes at 17 after six months in Stage II, or at 18; violating a restriction extends the restricted period by six months or until age 18. Those details — hours, passengers, practice logs — are what real exams poke at. Reread them the night before you test.
29. A practice question disagrees with the Alabama handbook. Which cover source wins?
- A PUBLISHED BY ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The official Alabama Driver Manual cover says PUBLISHED BY ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION. Handbooks win over practice sites. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
30. Who published the official book the Alabama knowledge test is written from?
- A PUBLISHED BY ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Alabama Driver Manual cover says PUBLISHED BY ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DRIVER LICENSE DIVISION. Learn that ALEA book, then answer without notes. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
31. Who must occupy the front seat beside an Alabama Stage I learner?
- A A parent, legal guardian, licensed driver 21 or older, or a certified instructor
- B Any licensed 16-year-old friend
- C No one after 30 days
- D A sibling of any age
Correct answer: A. Stage I, available at 15, is valid only when a parent, legal guardian, licensed driver 21 or older, or a certified instructor occupies the front seat. A same-age classmate with a license does not qualify.
32. Besides holding Stage I for six months, what practice path must an Alabama teen finish before Stage II at 16?
- A 50 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice, or an approved driver-education course
- B 30 classroom hours only
- C No log if they are 16
- D 6 instructor hours replace every parent hour
Correct answer: A. Alabama accepts either a 50-hour supervised log or an approved driver-education course, plus six months on Stage I, before the Stage II restricted license at 16. You still need one path or the other.
33. During which hours is an Alabama Stage II driver generally barred from the road without a listed exception?
- A Midnight to 6:00 a.m.
- B 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- C 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- D There is no night restriction
Correct answer: A. Stage II bans driving from midnight to 6:00 a.m. except with a parent or approved supervisor or for school, religious, work, or emergency travel. The same stage also caps extra passengers at one besides parents, guardians, or family, and bans handheld devices.
34. When does Alabama Stage III unrestricted status arrive if the teen stays clean on Stage II?
- A At 17 after six months in Stage II, or at 18
- B On the 16th birthday automatically
- C After 30 days
- D Never; teens stay restricted until 21
Correct answer: A. Stage III comes at 17 after six months in Stage II, or at 18. Violating a restriction extends the restricted period by six months or until age 18. Treat a restriction ticket as extra GDL time.
35. What does ALEA charge for each Alabama knowledge-test attempt, and which payments are accepted?
- A $5 per attempt, cash or money order only
- B Nothing; the test is free
- C $36.25 per attempt by card
- D A $2 fee paid once a year
Correct answer: A. The knowledge test is $5 per attempt. Stage I and Stage II licenses are listed at $36.25. The Driver License Division accepts only cash or money orders, and some counties run slightly higher. ALEA does not publish a waiting period between knowledge attempts.
36. How close to a fire hydrant may you park on an Alabama street?
- A No closer than 15 feet
- B No closer than 10 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. Alabama’s parking list forbids stopping within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. The same list uses 20 feet from a crosswalk at an uncontrolled intersection, 30 feet from a roadside signal or stop sign, and 50 feet from the nearest rail. Learn the four distances as a set.
37. A school bus in Alabama has its red lights flashing and stop arm out. How far from the bus must you stop?
- A At least 20 feet
- B At least 10 feet
- C Five feet if no child is visible
- D You may creep past at 5 mph
Correct answer: A. Alabama’s school-bus diagram tells traffic coming from either direction to stop at least 20 feet from the bus when the red signals are displayed. Ten feet is another state’s number. Amber flashers are only a pre-warning that the stop is coming.
38. When must Alabama drivers turn on headlights because of weather, besides night?
- A When windshield wipers are in use because of rain, sleet, or snow
- B Only if the wipers run without stopping for ten minutes
- C Never in daylight, even in a downpour
- D Only on interstates
Correct answer: A. Alabama law requires headlights when wipers are in use because of rain, sleet, or snow. Intermittent wiper use does not trigger the headlight rule. That intermittent exception is easy to miss if you only remember “wipers on, lights on.”
39. How far before a turn must you signal in Alabama?
- A At least 100 feet
- B At least 300 feet at every speed
- C A car length
- D Only after you reach the crosswalk
Correct answer: A. Alabama tells you to get into the proper lane early and to signal at least 100 feet before the turn, keeping the signal on until you are ready to turn. The signal is for pedestrians as well as other drivers.
40. An Alabama traffic signal is completely dark. How should you treat the intersection?
- A As a four-way stop
- B As a green light if nothing is moving
- C As a yield only for the smaller street
- D As a freeway merge
Correct answer: A. Alabama says that if the traffic light is inoperative you treat the intersection as you would a four-way stop. Nobody has a hidden green. Stop, yield by the usual all-way rules, then go when the way is clear.
41. How far from other traffic must you dim headlights in Alabama?
- A Within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and within 200 feet when following another vehicle
- B 50 feet both ways
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only inside city limits
Correct answer: A. Alabama requires you to dim headlights within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and within 200 feet when following another vehicle. Leaving brights on can blind the other driver and cause a crash. The 200-foot following figure is shorter than in many states.
42. You reach an Alabama intersection and a blind pedestrian is holding a white cane tipped with red, arm extended, or is using a guide dog. What must you do?
- A Yield at the intersection to that pedestrian
- B Tap the horn so they can locate you
- C Keep moving if your light is green
- D Pass within two feet
Correct answer: A. Alabama tells drivers to yield at any intersection to a blind person carrying a white cane tipped with red and holding the cane with the arm extended, or using a guide dog. A horn startles someone using sound to navigate, so stop and wait until they clear.
43. How do you enter an Alabama roundabout?
- A Enter from the right, yield to traffic already in the circle, and follow it counterclockwise to your exit
- B Enter from the left and cut across the island
- C Stop in the circle until someone waves you in
- D Treat it as a four-way stop in the middle
Correct answer: A. Alabama describes a roundabout as a circular intersection that usually has no traffic signal and flows counterclockwise around a central island. Motorists must enter from the right, yielding to traffic already in the roundabout, and follow the circle to the right until they reach the desired roadway.
44. You approach an Alabama intersection controlled only by a flashing red signal. How must you treat it?
- A The same as a STOP sign: full stop, then go when the way is clear
- B Slow and roll through if no one is coming
- C Treat it as a yield sign only
- D Wait until it turns green
Correct answer: A. Alabama’s stop list includes a flashing red signal and says it means the same as a STOP sign. Come to a complete stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians already using the intersection, then proceed only when it is safe. Do not treat the flash as a caution light you can roll through.
45. How close to a railroad crossing may you park on an Alabama street?
- A No closer than 50 feet from the nearest rail
- B Against the nearest rail if you stay in the car
- C No closer than 5 feet
- D Anywhere except on the tracks themselves
Correct answer: A. Alabama’s no-parking list forbids standing within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. That clearance keeps the crossing visible and gives trains and emergency crews room. Fifty feet is a parking rule, separate from the 15-foot hydrant distance testers also ask about.
46. A flagger or other traffic-control device is directing traffic at an Alabama railroad crossing. What must you do?
- A Stop when directed; the flagger’s order controls the crossing even if you do not yet see a train
- B Ignore the flagger if the gates are up
- C Pass on the shoulder
- D Speed up to clear the tracks
Correct answer: A. Alabama requires a stop when a flagman or any traffic-control device directs you at a railroad crossing. The crossing may still look empty. Wait for the direction to proceed, then cross without stopping on the rails.
47. You overtake a person on a bicycle on an Alabama roadway. How much space does Alabama law require?
- A Not less than three feet between your motor vehicle and the person on the bicycle
- B A mirror’s width is enough in Alabama
- C One foot if you tap the horn
- D No extra space once you reach 45 mph
Correct answer: A. Alabama requires a pass of not less than three feet between your motor vehicle and the person on the bicycle. Higher speeds also throw a wind blast that can knock a rider. Testers swap this clearance with a following-distance number. Three feet is the Alabama pass gap, not a car-to-car cushion.
48. May people on bicycles ride two abreast on an Alabama roadway?
- A Yes; Alabama allows people on bicycles to ride two abreast at all times
- B Only after 9 p.m. in Alabama
- C Never; Alabama requires a single-file line at all times
- D Only on interstate shoulders in Alabama
Correct answer: A. Alabama says people on bicycles may ride two abreast at all times. They still ride with the flow of traffic and signal turns. Do not treat two riders side by side as an automatic “too many in the lane” violation on an Alabama road.
49. A person on a bicycle who is under 16 is riding on an Alabama public roadway or bike path. What does Alabama require?
- A A securely fastened protective helmet
- B Only a rear Alabama reflector
- C A flag taller than the rider
- D No extra gear on a path
Correct answer: A. Alabama requires people on bicycles who are under 16 to wear a securely fastened protective helmet on public roadways, other public rights-of-way, public bicycle paths, and in public parks. Testers skip the age cutoff. In Alabama the helmet rule is for riders under 16, not every adult cyclist.
50. A church bus is stopped on an Alabama road with its stop arm out and red lights flashing. Who must stop?
- A Drivers following or meeting it, including on a four-to-six-lane undivided Alabama highway
- B Only traffic behind the Alabama church bus
- C Opposite traffic on every Alabama divided freeway
- D Nobody; the church-bus stop rule is school buses only
Correct answer: A. Alabama treats a stopped church bus like a school bus: if the stop arm is out and red lights flash, you stop when following or meeting it, including on a four-to-six-lane undivided highway. Opposite traffic on a divided highway with two or more lanes each way, or a loading zone where pedestrians may not cross, is the exception. Testers skip the church bus. In Alabama the same stop covers both.
51. You want to turn around with a three-point turn on an Alabama roadway. Where does the handbook say that maneuver is forbidden?
- A On an Alabama interstate freeway, on a curve, or near the top of a hill where drivers approaching from either direction cannot see you within 500 feet
- B Only on an Alabama gravel driveway
- C Anywhere an Alabama officer is watching
- D On every Alabama one-way street after a signal
Correct answer: A. Alabama three-point turns must be made without endangering other traffic. They are not permitted on interstate freeways, on curves, or near the top of hills where you cannot be seen by drivers of other vehicles approaching from either direction within 500 feet. Testers try the turn on a blind Alabama crest. Five hundred feet of sight, or stay straight.
52. An Alabama travel lane has shared-lane markings, also called sharrows. What are they telling you?
- A People on bicycles might occupy that Alabama travel lane
- B The Alabama lane is closed to every bicycle
- C Park in the Alabama sharrow if your hazards are on
- D Treat an Alabama sharrow as a bus-only diamond
Correct answer: A. Alabama shared-lane markings, or sharrows, inform road users that people on bicycles might occupy the travel lane. Testers treat an Alabama sharrow like a bike lane you may ignore. Expect a rider in the lane and give the three-foot pass the handbook already requires.
53. An Alabama emergency vehicle is on an emergency run. Who may follow within 500 feet, and when may you drive over an unprotected fire hose?
- A Only a vehicle on necessary official Alabama business may follow that close; cross an unprotected hose only if a police officer or fire official authorizes it
- B Any Alabama driver may draft two car lengths behind the lights
- C Park against the Alabama hose if flashers are on
- D Follow into the Alabama block so you can watch
Correct answer: A. Alabama permits only vehicles on necessary official business to follow within 500 feet of emergency vehicles on an emergency run. Do not drive over an unprotected fire hose unless a police officer or fire-department official authorizes it. Testers invent a 200-foot Alabama follow. Five hundred feet plus the hose rule is the pair.
54. How far before an Alabama railroad crossing is the round yellow RR advance-warning sign placed?
- A About 750 feet before the Alabama track
- B Fifty feet, the Alabama parking-from-rail number
- C Fifteen feet, the Alabama hydrant number
- D Anytime an Alabama freight is visible on the horizon
Correct answer: A. Alabama’s railroad advanced-warnings list says the round yellow sign with a black X and the letters RR means a highway railroad crossing is ahead, and it is placed 750 feet before the track. Testers reuse the 50-foot no-park-from-rail figure here. Seven hundred fifty feet is the Alabama warning gap, separate from the 15-to-50-foot stop at the rails.
55. May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already parked at an Alabama curb or highway edge?
- A No; Alabama forbids parking on the roadway side of any vehicle parked at the curb or the edge of a highway
- B Yes, if Alabama flashers are on
- C Only at night on an Alabama interstate
- D Yes, if the Alabama hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Alabama’s no-parking list includes the roadway side of any vehicle parked at the curb or the edge of a highway — double parking. Testers squeeze alongside an Alabama curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 15 / 20 / 30 / 50 set.
56. You want to pass on an Alabama two-lane road that curves or climbs. How much clear passing distance does the handbook require?
- A A clear Alabama passing view of at least 500 feet on that curve or hill
- B An Alabama car-length if flashers are on
