1. To qualify for a Louisiana learner's permit at age 15, how much driver education must you complete?
- A 6 hours of classroom and 8 hours of driving
- B 20 hours of classroom instruction only
- C 30 hours of classroom and 8 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction
- D 10 hours of classroom and 30 hours of driving
Correct answer: C. Louisiana's graduated program requires teens to finish a 38-hour driver education course: 30 classroom hours plus 8 hours behind the wheel. The classroom builds rules knowledge before road practice begins. Remember 30 + 8 = the 38-hour course.
2. You got your Louisiana learner's permit at 15. How long must you hold it before you can move up to an intermediate license?
- A 90 days
- B At least 180 days and until your 16th birthday
- C One full year
- D 30 days after finishing driver education
Correct answer: B. Louisiana requires a learner's permit to be held at least 180 days, and a 15-year-old cannot advance until turning 16. The holding period guarantees months of supervised practice. Think six months minimum — roughly 180 days.
3. Before Louisiana issues you an intermediate license at 16, a parent or guardian must attest that you completed how much supervised driving?
- A 50 hours, including 15 at night
- B 20 hours, including 5 at night
- C 100 hours, including 30 at night
- D 40 hours, all during daylight
Correct answer: A. Louisiana requires 50 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice, 15 of them at night, attested by a parent or guardian before the intermediate license is issued. Night practice matters because darkness hides hazards. Memory hook: 50 total, 15 dark.
4. You hold a Louisiana intermediate license. During which hours are you barred from driving unless a qualifying licensed adult rides with you?
- A 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- B Midnight to 6:00 a.m.
- C 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.
- D 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Correct answer: D. Louisiana intermediate licensees may not drive between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a licensed parent, guardian, adult 21 or older, or sibling 18 or older. Late-night teen crashes spike, so remember: parked from 11 to 5.
5. Driving alone at 8:00 p.m. with a Louisiana intermediate license, how many passengers under 21 who are not immediate family may you carry?
- A Three
- B One
- C Two
- D None at any hour
Correct answer: B. Between 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., a Louisiana intermediate driver without a licensed adult 21 or older aboard may carry only one non-family passenger under 21. Fewer young passengers means fewer distractions. Hook: after six, just one under twenty-one.
6. With a Louisiana learner's permit, which person can legally supervise you behind the wheel?
- A Any licensed driver at least 18 years old
- B A 21-year-old friend who only has a learner's permit
- C Your licensed sibling who is 18 or older
- D Any adult passenger, licensed or not
Correct answer: C. Louisiana permit holders must be supervised by a licensed parent, guardian, adult at least 21, or a licensed sibling at least 18. The supervisor must hold a valid license, not a permit. Hook: family rides at 18, everyone else 21.
7. While driving with a Louisiana learner's permit, when may you use a cell phone with a hands-free device?
- A You may not — all cell phone use, even hands-free, is prohibited
- B Anytime, as long as it stays hands-free
- C Only when a supervising adult is in the car
- D Only on roads with speed limits under 45 mph
Correct answer: A. Louisiana bans learner's permit holders from any cell phone use, including hands-free devices. New drivers need full attention on the road, and even voice calls divide focus. Hook: with a permit, the only thing you operate is the car.
8. You are towing another vehicle on a Louisiana highway. What is your maximum legal speed?
- A 70 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 35 mph
- D 45 mph
Correct answer: D. Louisiana caps vehicles pulling or towing another motor vehicle at 45 mph. Tow connections can sway or snap at higher speeds, and stopping distances grow with the extra weight. Hook: hauling a car holds you to 45.
9. In Louisiana, a school bus making frequent stops to pick up children may not exceed what speed?
- A 25 mph
- B 35 mph
- C 45 mph
- D 55 mph
Correct answer: B. Louisiana limits school buses to 35 mph while they are frequently stopping to load or unload children. The low ceiling protects kids stepping on and off along the route. Hook: buses full of students crawl at thirty-five.
10. You refuse a chemical alcohol test for the first time after a DWI stop in Louisiana. How long will your driving privileges be suspended?
- A 90 days
- B 180 days
- C 365 days
- D Two years
Correct answer: C. Under Louisiana's implied consent law, a first refusal of a blood, breath, or urine test brings a 365-day suspension. Driving on state highways means you already agreed to testing. Hook: first refusal costs a full year.
11. How long does a DWI conviction stay on your Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles driving record?
- A 3 years
- B 5 years
- C 7 years
- D 10 years
Correct answer: D. The Louisiana OMV keeps most traffic convictions for five years, but DWI convictions remain for ten. Later offenses inside that window trigger harsher repeat-offender penalties. Hook: ordinary tickets fade in five, DWI doubles to ten.
12. What is the maximum time you could lose your license for a first DWI conviction in Louisiana?
- A One year
- B 30 days
- C Six months
- D Three years
Correct answer: A. A first Louisiana DWI conviction can cost your license for up to one year (365 days), plus up to six months in jail and a $1,025 fine with court costs. Hook: one conviction can mean one year of walking.
13. Rain forces you to run your windshield wipers on a Louisiana highway. What does state law require?
- A Flash your hazard lights while moving
- B Turn on your headlights on low beam
- C Pull over until the rain stops
- D Switch to high beams for better visibility
Correct answer: B. Louisiana law says that whenever conditions require your windshield wipers, your low-beam headlights must be on. Lights make you visible to others through rain and spray. Hook: wipers on, lights on — the two switches travel together.
14. A school bus ahead on your undivided Louisiana road stops with red lights flashing. What must you do?
- A Stop at least 30 feet from the bus, whether meeting or following it
- B Pass slowly on the left at 10 mph
- C Stop only if children are visible near the bus
- D Slow to 25 mph and proceed with caution
Correct answer: A. Louisiana requires you to stop at least 30 feet from a school bus loading or unloading children, from either direction on an undivided road. Kids dart unpredictably. Hook: stay thirty feet back until the reds go off.
15. A Louisiana fire truck races past you toward an emergency with sirens on. How closely may you follow it?
- A Within one city block
- B 100 feet
- C 250 feet
- D No closer than 500 feet
Correct answer: D. Louisiana law forbids following an emergency vehicle answering a call closer than 500 feet, and you may not park within the block where it stops. Crews need room to work. Hook: give responders five hundred feet of breathing space.
16. Which Louisiana office publishes the official Class D and E driver guide?
- A LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The official Louisiana Class D & E Driver's Guide is titled LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Testers invent leftover federal test-admin agencies. OMV is the office that administers the knowledge test, separate from the handbook URL extra.
17. You need to confirm a Louisiana permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) website or official Louisiana 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. Louisiana's OMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Louisiana page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who publishes the official Louisiana Class D and E driver guide?
- A Class D & E Driver’s Guide LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. The official guide cover reads Class D & E Driver’s Guide LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Testers invent leftover national-school GDL writers. The Office of Motor Vehicles publishes the book the knowledge test is written from.
19. What does the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles call the written exam you take after a Temporary Instructional Permit?
- A participation in the knowledge test, operation of a motor vehicle during on-road driving skills instruction
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official OMV permits page talks about participation in the knowledge test after a class E Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP). Testers invent leftover federal exam names. The knowledge test is the official written exam.
20. Where is the official Louisiana driver handbook published?
- A Class D & E Driver’s Guide LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- 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 official extract is titled Class D & E Driver’s Guide LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Testers invent leftover paid paperbacks. That OMV guide is the free official source.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Louisiana?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Louisiana lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the OMV. 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. How many questions are on the official Louisiana Knowledge test?
- A 40
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The OMV publishes a 40-question Knowledge test in Louisiana. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 40. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Louisiana Knowledge test?
- A 32
- B 1
- C 40
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Louisiana requires 32 correct out of 40 on the Knowledge test. That is the OMV's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. What passing score does the OMV publish for the Louisiana Knowledge test?
- A 80%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Louisiana Knowledge test. 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. For a driver 21 or older in Louisiana, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Louisiana 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 Louisiana can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Louisiana are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Louisiana 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 Louisiana, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Louisiana?
- A 75 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Louisiana'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 Louisiana is signed at the state maximum.
28. Who publishes the official Louisiana knowledge-test driver guide?
- A Class D & E Driver’s Guide LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- 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 official guide cover reads Class D & E Driver’s Guide LOUISIANA OFFICE OF MOTOR VEHICLES. The leftover “cannot take the Knowledge test from home” sentence is not in that extract; this nearby official cover wording is.
29. Which fee listing matches what the OMV currently publishes for a Louisiana permit or license application?
- A Learner's permit (Class E): $32.25 basic license fee, plus a service fee of up to $6.00 at certain field offices; cash, check, and credit/debit cards are accepted. There is no additional cost to convert the Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) to a learner's permit after completing driver education.
- B There is never a fee in Louisiana
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The OMV lists this Louisiana amount: Learner's permit (Class E): $32.25 basic license fee, plus a service fee of up to $6.00 at certain field offices; cash, check, and credit/debit cards are accepted. There is no additional cost to convert the Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) to a learner's permit after completing driver education.. 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.
30. If you fail the Louisiana Knowledge test, which statement matches the OMV's published retake rule?
- A If you fail the road skills test, the Louisiana Driver's Guide states you may be issued a permit so you can practice and may return at a later date to retest. Knowledge and skills tests are administered by driver education providers or the OMV, which does not publish a statewide waiting period or retake fee for a failed knowledge test.
- B You are banned from driving in Louisiana for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The OMV never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. Louisiana's published retake rule is: If you fail the road skills test, the Louisiana Driver's Guide states you may be issued a permit so you can practice and may return at a later date to retest. Knowledge and skills tests are administered by driver education providers or the OMV, which does not publish a statewide waiting period or retake fee for a failed knowledge test. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
31. How long is Louisiana's required pre-licensing driver-education course for teens?
- A 38 hours
- B 6 hours
- C 30 classroom hours only
- D A parent-taught packet with no certified school
Correct answer: A. Louisiana teens qualify for a Class E learner's permit at 15 after a 38-hour driver-education course, a vision exam, and the knowledge test. A short 6-hour road block or a parent packet does not replace that course.
32. Besides the 38-hour course, how much parent-supervised practice must a Louisiana teen log, including night hours?
- A 50 hours including 15 at night
- B 30 hours with no night split
- C The course replaces every parent hour
- D 15 night hours only
Correct answer: A. The 38-hour school course sits on top of a 50-hour log with 15 night hours, attested by a parent or guardian. Completing class does not wipe the home hours. The permit must be held at least 180 days and until age 16.
33. During which hours is a Louisiana intermediate licensee generally barred from driving without a qualifying supervisor?
- A 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- B Midnight to 6:00 a.m.
- C 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- D There is no night restriction
Correct answer: A. The intermediate license, available at 16 after a road skills test, prohibits driving between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. unless a licensed parent, guardian, adult 21 or older, or sibling 18 or older is along. A full Class E license is available at 17.
34. Between 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., how many non-immediate-family passengers under 21 may a Louisiana intermediate driver carry?
- A One
- B None until 18
- C Three
- D Any number after 11:00 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Louisiana limits the intermediate driver to one non-immediate-family passenger under 21 between 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. That passenger rule is separate from the 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew.
35. An applicant who does not understand written English well wants to take a Louisiana class knowledge test. What does OMV allow?
- A they may bring a translator to assist with any class knowledge (written) tests except CDL
- B No translator is ever allowed
- C Only a parent may read the CDL test
- D The test is offered only in Spanish
Correct answer: A. The official OMV new-licenses page says they may bring a translator to assist with any class knowledge (written) tests except CDL. Testers invent leftover no-translator leftovers. CDL stays English-only; other class knowledge tests may use a translator.
36. How close to a fire hydrant or a railroad crossing may you park in Louisiana?
- A No closer than 15 feet to a hydrant, or 50 feet to a railroad crossing
- B 10 feet for both
- C 50 feet for both
- D You may park on unused rails
Correct answer: A. Louisiana groups the two distances on one line: within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or within 50 feet of a railroad crossing is illegal, plus 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. Learn 15 / 20 / 50 as a set.
37. A Louisiana signal shows a red arrow. What must you do?
- A Stop; you may not go in the direction of the arrow until the green arrow returns
- B Turn after a stop if the way is clear
- C Follow the next lane’s circular green
- D Treat it like a yield
Correct answer: A. Louisiana’s red arrow means you must stop and you may not go in the direction of the arrow until the green arrow returns. It is not a circular red with a right-turn exception unless the manual later gives that exception for a circular red.
38. How close to a crosswalk at a Louisiana intersection may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet
- B 15 feet, same as a hydrant
- C 50 feet
- D On the crosswalk if no one is walking
Correct answer: A. Louisiana forbids parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, and also bans parking in a driveway, in an intersection, or in a bike lane. Twenty feet is the crosswalk number, not the hydrant number.
39. May you park in a marked Louisiana biking lane to run into a store?
- A In a biking lane
- B Yes, for five minutes
- C Yes, with hazards on
- D Yes, after 9 p.m.
Correct answer: A. The official Louisiana Driver’s Guide parking list includes In a biking lane among the places it is against the law to park. Testers invent leftover five-minute store-run courtesy.
40. A Louisiana funeral procession is moving through traffic. What must other drivers do, and how are procession vehicles marked?
- A Yield the right-of-way; procession drivers keep headlights on and emergency lights flashing
- B Cut through if your light is green
- C Join the line to share the right-of-way
- D Honk so the line splits
Correct answer: A. Louisiana requires every motor-vehicle operator to yield the right-of-way to vehicles in a funeral procession. While in the procession, each driver shall have headlights lighted and emergency lights flashing so other traffic can identify the line and stay out of the gaps.
41. A pedestrian in Louisiana is using a guide dog or a white cane, with or without a red tip. Who has the right-of-way?
- A The pedestrian, at all times
- B You, if your light is green
- C Whoever arrives first
- D Only the pedestrian in a marked crosswalk
Correct answer: A. Louisiana says pedestrians using guide dogs or white canes with or without a red tip must be given the right-of-way at all times. Those pedestrians are partially or totally visually impaired. A horn startles someone using sound to navigate, so stop and wait.
42. How far from other traffic must you drop high beams in Louisiana, and when else must headlights be on?
- A Within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle or 200 feet when following; also when wipers are needed or others cannot see you clearly from 500 feet
- B 50 feet both ways; never in rain
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only on the interstate after midnight
Correct answer: A. Louisiana requires lower beams when approaching within 500 feet of or following within 200 feet of another vehicle. Headlights are also required when moisture or precipitation necessitates windshield wipers, in unfavorable weather, and when others cannot see your vehicle clearly from 500 feet. The 200-foot following figure is shorter than in many states.
43. How far before a Louisiana turn must you signal?
- A At least 100 feet before making the turn
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the turn
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. Louisiana law requires that you signal at least 100 feet before making a turn. Get in the proper lane first, keep the wheels straight while you wait to turn, and give other drivers time to see the signal before you start the move.
44. When a train warning is active in Louisiana, how far from the nearest rail must you stop?
- A Within 50 feet but no less than 15 feet from the nearest rail
- B With your bumper on the rail
- C At least 100 feet in every town
- D Only if you can see the locomotive
Correct answer: A. Louisiana law R.S. 32:171 requires a stop within 50 feet but no less than 15 feet from the nearest rail when a signal is flashing, a crossing gate is down, or a train is approaching. Never drive through, around, or under a gate.
45. How far before a Louisiana school-bus stop will the driver usually activate flashing yellow lights?
- A At least 100 feet but no more than 500 feet before the stop
- B One car length only
- C Exactly one mile
- D Only after the door opens
Correct answer: A. Louisiana says bus drivers activate flashing yellow lights at least 100 feet but no more than 500 feet before the school-bus stop. When the bus stops, the flashing red lights and stop signs take over. Be prepared to stop as soon as those yellows start.
46. A Louisiana steady yellow traffic light is showing and you can stop before the stop bar. What should you do?
- A Slow down and come to a complete stop if you can do so before the stop bar; if you are already in, continue and clear it
- B Speed up to beat the red
- C Stop in the crosswalk
- D Treat yellow as green after 9 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Louisiana’s steady yellow is a warning that the signal is about to change to red. Slow down and stop if you can do so before the stop bar. If you are already in the intersection, continue and clear it. Do not slam on the brakes in the middle.
47. After stopping and yielding on a Louisiana red light, when may a left turn be allowed?
- A When moving from a one-way street onto another one-way street
- B From any two-way street onto any two-way street
- C Never
- D Only after midnight
Correct answer: A. Louisiana says some left turns may be permitted on red when moving from a one-way street onto another one-way street. You must yield to all traffic and pedestrians. Do not treat a two-way-to-two-way left as the same permission.
48. You approach a roadside incident on a Louisiana highway. What does Louisiana’s Move Over law require?
- A Slow down and change lanes
- B Keep the Louisiana posted speed in the near lane
- C Stop in the travel lane until the scene clears
- D The law applies only after 10 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Louisiana’s Move Over law requires you to slow down and change lanes when approaching a roadside incident. Incident signs can be fluorescent pink. Testers treat the rule as police-only. In Louisiana the duty is the crash, spill, or closure on the shoulder — slow and give a lane.
49. How much clearance must you leave when you overtake a bicycle going the same way on a Louisiana roadway?
- A A safe distance of not less than three feet
- B A Louisiana mirror’s width if you tap the horn
- C One foot under 25 mph
- D No extra space on a two-lane road
Correct answer: A. Louisiana law requires a motorist overtaking a bicycle proceeding in the same direction to leave a safe distance of not less than three feet between the vehicle and the bicycle. Testers squeeze past in the same Louisiana lane. Three feet is the pass gap, and you wait for a gap in oncoming traffic if you need it.
50. How far may you travel in a Louisiana shared center left-turn lane while setting up a left turn?
- A No more than 200 feet; do not use that Louisiana lane to pass or go through
- B A full Louisiana city block if you keep your signal on
- C As far as you want if no one is coming the other way
- D Only 50 feet on a Louisiana two-lane
Correct answer: A. Louisiana’s shared center left-turn lane is reserved for left turns from either direction. You must not drive more than 200 feet in that lane, and you may not use it for through traffic or passing. Testers camp in the Louisiana two-way left-turn lane. Two hundred feet is the legal stay.
51. After you stop at a Louisiana steady red, when may a left turn be permitted?
- A From a one-way street onto another one-way street, where Louisiana allows it
- B From any Louisiana two-way street after a honk
- C Never; Louisiana allows only a right on red
- D On a Louisiana red arrow with no extra sign
Correct answer: A. Louisiana allows a right on red after a stop and a yield unless a sign prohibits it. Some left turns may be permitted on red when moving from a one-way street onto another one-way street. You must still yield to all traffic and pedestrians crossing in front or to the side. A red arrow means stay stopped until the green arrow returns. Testers invent a Louisiana ban on every left on red. One-way to one-way is the exception.
52. An emergency vehicle is responding to a call on a Louisiana street. How close may you follow, and where may you park?
- A Stay at least 500 feet back, and do not follow into or park within the block where the Louisiana emergency vehicle has stopped
- B Draft two Louisiana car lengths behind the lights
- C Park against the Louisiana firehouse if flashers are on
- D Follow into the Louisiana block so you can watch
Correct answer: A. Louisiana makes it unlawful to follow an emergency vehicle that is responding to a call closer than 500 feet. You also must not follow into and park within the block where that emergency vehicle has stopped. Testers invent a 200-foot Louisiana follow. Five hundred feet plus the block ban is the pair.
53. May you wear headphones in both ears while driving in Louisiana?
- A No; Louisiana bans a headset or headphones in both ears, though one ear is allowed and a hearing aid is excepted
- B Yes, if the Louisiana volume stays low
- C Only on a Louisiana interstate
- D Yes, if you use Louisiana flashers
Correct answer: A. Louisiana prohibits wearing headphones, a headset, or another listening device in both ears while driving. One ear alone is allowed, and a hearing aid is excepted. Testers treat both-ear buds as a courtesy miss. In Louisiana it is a listed ban, separate from the 500-foot emergency-follow rule.
54. How close to a Louisiana fire-station driveway may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet on the same side, or 75 feet on the other side of the Louisiana street
- B Fifteen feet, the Louisiana hydrant number
- C Against the Louisiana bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Louisiana sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Louisiana forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway on the same side of the street, or within 75 feet of the driveway on the other side. Testers reuse the 15-foot hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear.
55. When you park on a Louisiana two-way roadway next to a curb, how close must the right-hand wheels sit?
- A Parallel to and within 18 inches of the right-hand Louisiana curb, or as close as practicable to the right-hand shoulder
- B Within 12 inches only, a number copied from other Louisiana neighbors
- C Against the Louisiana sidewalk if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Louisiana travel lane stays open
Correct answer: A. Louisiana RS 32:144 requires a vehicle stopped or parked on a two-way roadway to sit with the right-hand wheels parallel to, and within 18 inches of, the right-hand curb, or as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder. Testers copy a 12-inch number from other states. Eighteen inches is the Louisiana curb gap, separate from the 20/75-foot fire-station extra.
56. May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Louisiana curb?
- A No; Louisiana forbids parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb
- B Yes, if Louisiana flashers are on
- C Only at night on a Louisiana interstate
- D Yes, if the Louisiana hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Louisiana Revised Statutes 32:143 forbids standing or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street — double parking. Testers squeeze alongside a Louisiana curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 18-inch curb extra.
57. How close to a Louisiana flashing beacon, stop sign, or roadside traffic-control signal may you stand or park on the approach?
- A No closer than 20 feet upon the approach to that Louisiana flashing beacon, stop sign, or roadside traffic-control signal
- B Thirty Louisiana feet, the number copied from most other states
- C Fifteen Louisiana feet, the hydrant number reused here
- D Against the Louisiana pole if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Louisiana Revised Statutes 32:143 forbids standing or parking within 20 feet upon the approach to any flashing beacon, stop sign, or traffic-control signal located at the side of a roadway.
