  1. GDL & fees

    1. You hold an Arkansas intermediate license. During which hours are you generally barred from driving unless a licensed driver 21 or older is with you or an exception such as work applies?

    • A 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
    • B Midnight to 6:00 a.m.
    • C 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.
    • D 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

    Correct answer: C. Arkansas intermediate drivers may not drive between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed driver 21 or older, or headed to or from school, church, work, or an emergency. Remember it as the 11-to-4 off-hours rule.

  2. GDL & fees

    2. Under Arkansas's intermediate license rules, how many unrelated minor passengers may you carry when no licensed driver 21 or older is in the front seat?

    • A None at all
    • B One
    • C Two
    • D As many as there are seat belts

    Correct answer: B. An Arkansas intermediate driver may carry no more than one unrelated minor passenger unless a licensed driver 21 or older rides in the front seat. Packed teen cars multiply distraction and crash risk, so keep it to one friend per ride.

  3. GDL & fees

    3. You fail the Arkansas knowledge exam for a learner's license. How long must you wait before you can take it again?

    • A Five calendar days
    • B You can retest the same day
    • C Thirty days
    • D Until your next birthday

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas State Police rules impose a five-calendar-day waiting period after a failed knowledge exam for a permit, learner's, or intermediate license. The forced break sends you back to the study guide — count five days, then retest.

  4. GDL & fees

    4. Which Arkansas agency actually administers the driver license knowledge and skills tests?

    • A The Department of Finance and Administration
    • B Your county sheriff's office
    • C The Arkansas Department of Transportation
    • D The Arkansas State Police

    Correct answer: D. Arkansas State Police examiners at troop testing sites give the knowledge and skills exams; the Department of Finance and Administration then issues the license at a revenue office. Memory hook: test with the troopers, buy from revenue.

  5. GDL & fees

    5. In Arkansas, what fee does state law add for each written driver examination you take?

    • A $25
    • B $5
    • C $40
    • D Nothing — written tests are free

    Correct answer: B. Under Act 1289 of 2015, Arkansas charges $5 for every written exam attempt with no limit on attempts billed, collected by DFA along with your license cost. Each failure adds five dollars, so studying literally pays.

  6. GDL & fees

    6. How long is an Arkansas instruction permit valid once you pass the knowledge exam, and can it be extended?

    • A One year, renewable once
    • B Four years, renewable
    • C Two years, and it cannot be extended
    • D Six months, extendable for weather delays

    Correct answer: C. An Arkansas instruction permit is valid for two years from the passed knowledge exam and cannot be extended for any reason. Finish the skills test and purchase your license in time, or you must retake every exam phase.

  7. GDL & fees

    7. While driving with an Arkansas instruction permit, who must be in the vehicle with you?

    • A A licensed driver at least 21 years old seated beside you
    • B Any licensed driver at least 18 years old
    • C A parent or guardian only, seated anywhere
    • D A driving instructor certified by the state

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas permit holders must be supervised by a licensed driver at least 21 years old occupying the seat beside them, with every passenger belted. The rule keeps experienced help within arm's reach: 21 or older, riding shotgun.

  8. Speed

    8. An Arkansas county road has no speed limit posted and the county judge has not set one. What is the maximum speed allowed?

    • A 55 mph
    • B 30 mph
    • C 50 mph
    • D 40 mph

    Correct answer: D. If a county judge has not set a limit, Arkansas Code § 27-51-216 fixes county road speed at 40 mph. These unposted rural roads are narrow and unpredictable, so remember: no sign on a county road means 40.

  9. Speed

    9. On an Arkansas controlled-access highway where cars may drive 75 mph, what is the maximum speed for a commercial motor vehicle?

    • A 75 mph, same as cars
    • B 70 mph
    • C 65 mph
    • D 60 mph

    Correct answer: B. Where Arkansas allows 75 mph on rural divided controlled-access highways, commercial motor vehicles are capped at 70 mph. Heavy trucks need much longer stopping distances, so the law shaves five off the top — big rig, minus five.

  10. Speed

    10. You are driving an ordinary car on a controlled-access highway inside an Arkansas urban area. Unless signs say otherwise, what is the top lawful speed?

    • A 75 mph
    • B 55 mph
    • C 65 mph
    • D 70 mph

    Correct answer: C. Arkansas sets 65 mph as the maximum on controlled-access highways inside urban areas; 75 mph applies only outside urban areas on four-lane divided routes. City traffic is denser, so think: urban freeway, drop ten.

  11. Alcohol & drugs

    11. What can a first DWI conviction cost a driver in Arkansas?

    • A A fine of $150 to $1,000, up to a year in jail, and a 120-day license suspension
    • B Only a warning and an alcohol-education class
    • C A flat $50 fine with no license action
    • D Permanent license revocation on the first offense

    Correct answer: A. A first Arkansas DWI conviction carries a fine of $150 to $1,000 plus court costs, possible jail up to one year, and a 120-day license suspension. One impaired trip can park you for four months.

  12. Alcohol & drugs

    12. An Arkansas officer lawfully directs you to take an alcohol test and you refuse. What does the state study guide say can happen?

    • A Nothing — refusing carries no penalty
    • B The test can only be given with a warrant
    • C You pay a $25 fine at most
    • D You can lose your driver's license

    Correct answer: D. Arkansas law compels you to take the alcohol test an officer chooses, whether breath, urine, or saliva; refusing can cost your license by itself, before any DWI verdict. Treat the test refusal as its own violation.

  13. Alcohol & drugs

    13. A 17-year-old Arkansas driver is convicted of underage driving under the influence. Which consequence does the state study guide warn about?

    • A A short driving-school course only
    • B License revocation that can last until age 21 and a fine up to $2,000
    • C A $100 fine with no license action
    • D Six months of supervised driving

    Correct answer: B. Arkansas underage DUI can bring license revocation lasting until age 21 and a fine up to $2,000; even buying or possessing alcohol can suspend a minor's driving privileges. For under-21 drivers, alcohol and a license don't mix.

  14. Safety

    14. You are driving toward an oncoming school bus with red lights flashing on an Arkansas road where a 30-foot median separates the lanes. What must you do?

    • A Stop completely like all other traffic
    • B Slow to 20 mph and pass carefully
    • C You are not required to stop, but should stay alert
    • D Pull to the shoulder and wait

    Correct answer: C. Arkansas drivers must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights unless it approaches in opposite lanes across a median at least 20 feet wide. Illegal passing starts at a $250 fine with possible jail. Twenty feet is the dividing line.

  15. Sharing the road

    15. On a multilane Arkansas highway you see a law enforcement vehicle stopped ahead with its lights flashing. When possible, the state's Move Over law requires you to:

    • A Change into the lane farthest from the stopped vehicle
    • B Stop behind the vehicle until waved past
    • C Sound your horn and keep your lane
    • D Turn on hazard lights and slow to 25 mph

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas's Move Over law requires shifting, whenever possible, to the lane farthest from a stopped law enforcement vehicle with lights on; violators face up to $1,000 and a possible six-month suspension. Flashing lights on the shoulder mean surrender a lane.

  16. GDL & fees

    16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Arkansas?

    • A Arkansas State Police (ASP)
    • B The Federal Highway Administration
    • C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
    • D The US Department of Education

    Correct answer: A. In Arkansas, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Arkansas State Police (ASP). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Arkansas permit. When in doubt, start at the ASP site.

    17. You need to confirm a Arkansas permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?

    • A The Arkansas State Police (ASP) website or official Arkansas 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. Arkansas's ASP publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Arkansas page wins. Date-stamp what you read.

    18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Arkansas roads?

    • A The Arkansas State Police (ASP) and Arkansas 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 Arkansas law, explained by the ASP. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Arkansas version, not a generic US version.

    19. What does the ASP officially call the Arkansas permit written exam?

    • A Knowledge Exam
    • B The federal interstate qualifying exam
    • C The commercial learner permit skills pad
    • D The motorcycle only road course

    Correct answer: A. The ASP names the Arkansas exam the Knowledge Exam. Informal names like permit test or written test point at the same test. Use the official name when you book or look up retake rules.

    20. Where is the official Arkansas driver handbook published?

    • A By the Arkansas State Police (ASP) 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 ASP publishes the Arkansas 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 Arkansas?

    • A 14
    • B 18
    • C 21
    • D 16

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas lets you apply for a learner's permit at 14, according to the ASP. 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.

    • A 25
    • B 10
    • C 100
    • D 5

    Correct answer: A. The ASP publishes a 25-question Knowledge Exam in Arkansas. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 25. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.

    • A 20
    • B 1
    • C 25
    • D 2

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas requires 20 correct out of 25 on the Knowledge Exam. That is the ASP's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.

    • A 80%
    • B 50%
    • C 40%
    • D 99%

    Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Arkansas Knowledge Exam. Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 80%.

  25. Alcohol & drugs

    25. For a driver 21 or older in Arkansas, the per-se BAC limit is:

    • A 0.08%
    • B 0.12%
    • C 0.15%
    • D 0.20%

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas 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 Arkansas can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.

    26. Drivers under 21 in Arkansas are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?

    • A 0.02%
    • B 0.08%
    • C 0.10%
    • D 0.15%

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas 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 Arkansas, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.

  27. Speed

    27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Arkansas is:

    • A 30 mph
    • B 55 mph
    • C 70 mph
    • D 15 mph unless signed

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas'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.

    • A 75 mph
    • B 25 mph
    • C 15 mph
    • D 100 mph

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas's highest posted highway limit is 75 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Arkansas is signed at the state maximum.

    29. Can you take the official Arkansas Knowledge Exam from home on the internet?

    • A No. The ASP gives the Knowledge Exam 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 ASP administers the Arkansas Knowledge Exam in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the ASP lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.

  30. GDL & fees

    30. Which fee listing matches what the ASP currently publishes for a Arkansas permit or license application?

    • A A full Class D license costs $40.00 for 8 years (ages 21+); Class D for ages 18-21 and learner's/intermediate licenses are prorated to the next stage's birthday. A separate $5 fee applies to each written exam attempt (Act 1289 of 2015, per the ASP study guide) and is collected by DFA with the license cost.
    • B There is never a fee in Arkansas
    • C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
    • D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA

    Correct answer: A. The ASP lists this Arkansas amount: A full Class D license costs $40.00 for 8 years (ages 21+); Class D for ages 18-21 and learner's/intermediate licenses are prorated to the next stage's birthday. A separate $5 fee applies to each written exam attempt (Act 1289 of 2015, per the ASP study guide) and is collected by DFA with the license cost.. 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.

    • B Midnight to 6:00 a.m.
    • C 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
    • D Sunset to sunrise

    Correct answer: A. An Arkansas intermediate license bans driving from 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. and allows no more than one unrelated minor passenger unless a licensed driver 21 or older rides in front. Unrestricted Class D arrives at 18 after ASP testing and a DFA purchase.

    • A Five calendar days and $5 per attempt
    • B The next morning and no fee
    • C 30 days and $25
    • D Seven days and $40

    Correct answer: A. State Police rule 27 CAR § 52-101 imposes a five-calendar-day wait before retesting, and each written attempt carries a $5 fee. Skills-test penalties are separate: two weeks after a second serious offense, 30 days after automatic-failure offenses.

    • B 10 feet for all three
    • C 50 feet for all three
    • D No listed distances

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas lists no parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 30 feet of a pedestrian safety zone, or 50 feet of a railroad crossing, and more than 18 inches from the curb. Memorize 15 / 30 / 50 as a set so testers cannot swap the numbers.

    • B Turn after a complete stop if the way is clear
    • C It is only a warning
    • D It applies only at night

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas says a steady red arrow means stop and you may not turn in the direction of the arrow. A circular red can still allow a right turn after a stop unless a sign forbids it. Learn arrow versus circle.

    • B Only if it is raining hard enough to flood the road
    • C Never in daytime
    • D Only on two-lane highways

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas requires headlights when windshield wipers are needed, from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and anytime you cannot see a person or object clearly within 500 feet. Wipers on means lights on.

    38. A pedestrian with a white cane or guide dog is crossing in Arkansas. What right-of-way rule applies?

    • A They have absolute right-of-way; do not use your horn
    • B Tap the horn so they can locate you
    • C Keep your speed if your light is green
    • D Pass closely so they hear the engine

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas gives pedestrians using a white cane or guide dog absolute right-of-way. Do not use the horn; the sound can confuse or frighten a blind pedestrian who is placing traffic by hearing. Slow, yield, and wait.

    • A At least 100 feet
    • B A car length
    • C Only after you start the turn
    • D 500 feet in every city

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas says turn signals should be used 100 feet before a lane change, a right or left turn, a merge, or parking. A late signal is how rear-end crashes start in the turn lane.

  40. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    40. An Arkansas school bus is stopped with red lights flashing. Does your lane position change the duty to stop?

    • A No. You must make a complete stop no matter where your vehicle is positioned relative to the bus, until the lights are turned off
    • B Only if you are directly behind the bus
    • C Only in a school zone
    • D Never if you are across the centerline

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas requires a complete stop for a stopped school bus with flashing red lights no matter where your vehicle is positioned with the bus — same lane or otherwise — until the lights are turned off. Then watch for children before you move.

    41. How far from other traffic must you dim high beams in Arkansas?

    • A Within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle, and when following closer than 200 feet
    • B 50 feet both ways
    • C Never; high beams stay on
    • D Only on interstates

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas says dim high beams whenever you come within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and use low beams when following closer than 200 feet. In fog, snow, or heavy rain stay on low beams so the light does not bounce back at you.

  43. SignalsHandbook scenario

    43. You are approaching a flashing yellow light in Arkansas. What should you do?

    • A Slow down and proceed with caution
    • B Stop as you would for a stop sign
    • C Speed up to beat the next red
    • D Ignore it in a left-turn lane

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas tells a driver approaching a flashing yellow light to slow down and proceed with caution. It is a warning, not a stop. Look for cross traffic, pedestrians, and the reason the beacon is flashing before you commit.

  44. SignalsHandbook scenario

    44. An Arkansas signal shows a flashing yellow arrow for a left turn. What may you do?

    • A Turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians
    • B Turn immediately; opposing traffic is held
    • C Wait for a circular green only
    • D Treat it as a solid red arrow

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas says a flashing yellow arrow means left turns are permitted. You may turn left only after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. A solid green arrow is the protected movement testers contrast with this flash.

    45. You are about to enter an Arkansas traffic circle or rotary. Who goes first?

    • A Drivers already in the circle; entering traffic must yield
    • B The faster car
    • C Anyone coming from the left only
    • D Trucks only

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas says drivers entering a traffic circle or rotary must yield to drivers already in the circle. A modern roundabout uses the same yield-to-circulating rule and keeps traffic moving counterclockwise around the island.

  46. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    46. You are about to pass a bicycle on an Arkansas road and an oncoming car is also coming. What should you do first?

    • A Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the bicycle
    • B Squeeze between the car and the bicycle in Arkansas
    • C Honk and hold your speed
    • D Pass on the shoulder to save time

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas tells you to take hazards one at a time. If you are overtaking a bicycle and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let that vehicle pass before you pass the bicycle. Do not thread the needle. The Arkansas trap is passing both at once.

  47. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    47. The Arkansas lane is too narrow for a car and a bicycle to share. What does the study guide say to do?

    • A Let the bicycle take the full lane until you can pass with plenty of room
    • B Force a share and keep your Alabama-style three-foot guess
    • C Drive on the sidewalk around the rider
    • D Tap the bumper to ask for space

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas says that when the lane is too narrow for a car and a bicycle to share safely, it is safest to let the bicycle take the full lane. Give plenty of room when you later pass. Testers invent a fixed three-foot Arkansas number; this guide’s hook is the full-lane share, not a copied clearance.

  48. SafetyHandbook scenario

    48. How does the Arkansas handbook tell you to check whether you are driving too fast for how far you can see?

    • A Use the Four Second Sight Distance Rule: if you reach a far object before you finish a four-count, slow down
    • B Stay at the Arkansas posted limit even in fog
    • C Use a one-second glance at the hood
    • D Close your eyes and count two

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas’s Four Second Sight Distance Rule is about visibility, not a following gap. Pick a stationary object as far ahead as you can clearly see, then count one-one-thousand through four-one-thousand. If you reach it first, you are going too fast for the distance you can see. Testers mix it up with a two-second following myth. In Arkansas the four-count is for sight distance, especially at night.

  49. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    49. You are driving slower than other traffic on an Arkansas roadway. What does the handbook tell you to do, and what roadside feature can you use?

    • A Pull to the side so Arkansas vehicles can pass; use a signed turnout area when one is there
    • B Hold the Arkansas travel lane until ten cars stack up
    • C Wave faster Arkansas cars onto the center line
    • D Speed up only after a passing zone is marked

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas’s safety-cushion chapter says that if you drive slower than other vehicles, pull to the side of the road and let them pass. Some roadways have turnout areas for that purpose. Testers wait for a painted passing zone or a ten-car count. In Arkansas the duty is to give the line a place to go, and a turnout is the tool the handbook names.

  50. SafetyHandbook scenario

    50. You receive a moving-violation citation in an Arkansas work zone, including a mobile zone marked on the back of an ARDOT vehicle. What does the handbook say about the fine?

    • A The Arkansas fine is doubled, and doubled fines can be as high as $5,000
    • B Arkansas work-zone tickets stay the ordinary amount
    • C Only a night Arkansas ticket doubles
    • D A mobile Arkansas zone is a warning only

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas doubles the fine for any moving traffic violation in a work zone — speeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, and more. Doubled fines can be as high as five thousand dollars. Mobile work zones marked on the back of ARDOT vehicles count the same as a stationary zone. Testers invent a cheap Arkansas warning at the first cone. Double, up to $5,000, even when the crew is rolling.

  51. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    51. You leave an Arkansas driveway and want to use the shared center left-turn lane to join traffic. What does the handbook allow?

    • A You may use that Arkansas center lane as part of a left-turn merge, but you may not treat it as an acceleration lane
    • B Drive the full Arkansas block in the center lane at highway speed
    • C Use it only as an Arkansas passing bay
    • D Stay out of every Arkansas center lane from a driveway

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas lets a vehicle making a left turn from an intersecting street or driveway use the shared center turn lane as part of the merge. It is not permissible to use that center left-turn lane as an acceleration lane. Testers floor it down an Arkansas two-way left-turn stripe. Turn and merge; do not treat the lane as a launch ramp.

    • B Fifteen feet, the Arkansas hydrant number
    • C Against the Arkansas bay if flashers are on
    • D Anywhere an Arkansas sidewalk is clear

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway on the same side of the street, or on a street where proper signs are posted. Testers reuse the 15-foot hydrant number. Twenty feet keeps the apparatus path clear.

    • B Yes, if Arkansas flashers are on
    • C Only at night on an Arkansas interstate
    • D Yes, if the Arkansas hydrant is clear

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas’s do-not-park list includes parking along the street or highway next to another parked vehicle, which the study guide calls double parking. Testers squeeze alongside an Arkansas curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 18-inch curb and 20-foot fire-station extras.

    54. A train approaching an Arkansas crossing sounds an audible signal. How far away may that train still be when you must already stop?

    • A Within about 1,500 feet of the Arkansas crossing, when that train is an immediate hazard because of speed or nearness
    • B Only when the Arkansas locomotive is on the near rail
    • C Five hundred feet, a number copied from other Arkansas neighbors
    • D Anytime an Arkansas freight is visible on the horizon

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas Code § 27-51-702 says you must stop within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail when a train or other on-track equipment approaching within about 1,500 feet emits an audible signal and is an immediate hazard because of its speed or nearness. Testers wait until the Arkansas locomotive is on the pavement. Fifteen hundred feet is already a stop.

    • B An Arkansas mirror’s width if flashers are on
    • C Fifteen feet, the Arkansas hydrant number reused here
    • D Thirty feet, the Arkansas pedestrian-safety-zone number reused here

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas’s driver license manual lists no parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. Testers reuse the 15-foot hydrant number or the 30-foot pedestrian-safety-zone number from the 15 / 30 / 50 set. Twenty feet is the Arkansas intersection-crosswalk gap, separate from that set extra.

    • B An Arkansas car-length if flashers are on
    • C Twenty feet, the Arkansas crosswalk number reused here
    • D Fifteen feet, the Arkansas hydrant number reused here

    Correct answer: A. Arkansas’s driver license manual lists no parking within 30 feet of a traffic signal, stop sign, or yield sign. That 30-foot signal buffer is a different line from the 30-foot pedestrian-safety-zone figure in the 15 / 30 / 50 set. Testers swap the two Arkansas thirties.

    • B Yes, if Arkansas flashers are on
    • C Only after 9 p.m. on an Arkansas block
    • D Yes, if the Arkansas hydrant is clear

    Correct answer: A. The Arkansas Driver License Manual’s do-not-park list forbids blocking a driveway, alley, private road, or an area of the curb removed or lowered for access to the sidewalk. Testers treat an Arkansas ramp as leftover stall space. The cut curb stays a walkway, separate from the 15 / 30 / 50 set extra.

    • B Both colors are only Arkansas decoration
    • C Red means an Arkansas hydrant and yellow means a school
    • D Either color is free parking after 9 p.m.

    Correct answer: A. The Arkansas Driver License Manual’s restricted-parking chapter says a red curb means a fire zone and a yellow curb means a loading zone or other restriction.

    • C Only shift to park and walk away
    • D Point the Arkansas wheels toward traffic

    Correct answer: A. The Arkansas Driver License Manual says no driver standing on a distinct grade may leave a vehicle unattended without first effectively setting the parking brake and turning the wheels to the curb or side of the highway. Testers leave an Arkansas car in gear on a hill with the wheels straight. Brake plus wheels is the pair, separate from the red-curb extra.
