1. Without the optional parent class, how many total hours of supervised practice driving must a Minnesota teen log before taking the road test?
- A 30 hours, including 10 at night
- B 40 hours, including 10 at night
- C 50 hours, including 15 at night
- D 60 hours, including 20 at night
Correct answer: C. Minnesota teens must log at least 50 supervised practice hours, 15 of them at night, before the road test. Darkness hides hazards, so the state requires night experience. Remember the split: 50 total, 15 after dark.
2. How can a Minnesota teen's required supervised driving log be reduced from 50 hours to 40 hours?
- A By earning good grades in school
- B By having a parent or guardian complete an approved parent class
- C By finishing behind-the-wheel lessons ahead of schedule
- D By practicing only on low-traffic rural roads
Correct answer: B. If a parent or guardian completes a class from a Minnesota-approved driver education program, the teen's log drops to 40 hours, still with 15 at night. Trained supervisors coach better, so the parent class buys back ten hours.
3. During the first six months with a Minnesota provisional license, how many passengers under age 20 from outside your immediate family may ride along when no parent or guardian is present?
- A Only one
- B Two
- C Three
- D As many as there are seat belts
Correct answer: A. For the first six months, Minnesota provisional drivers may carry just one passenger under 20 who is not immediate family, unless a parent or guardian rides along. Teen passengers multiply distraction. Hook: first six months, one friend.
4. You received your Minnesota provisional license two months ago. In which situation may you legally drive at 1 a.m.?
- A Never, with no exceptions
- B Only within your home city limits
- C Only on weekend nights
- D When driving home from your job or with a licensed driver who is at least 25
Correct answer: D. During the first six months, Minnesota provisional drivers may drive between midnight and 5 a.m. only for work, for school events without school transportation, or with a licensed driver at least 25. Memorize the passes: work, school, or 25-plus.
5. While a Minnesota teen practices with an instruction permit, their supervisor must be a licensed driver who is at least 21 and seated where?
- A Anywhere inside the vehicle
- B In the front seat
- C Directly behind the driver
- D In any seat with a working seat belt
Correct answer: B. Minnesota requires permit holders under 18 to be supervised by a valid licensed driver 21 or older riding in the front seat, close enough to coach and react instantly. Picture your coach riding shotgun: 21 up front.
6. After failing the Minnesota Class D written test twice, how much does each additional attempt at a DVS exam station cost?
- A $5
- B $20
- C $10
- D Nothing, because retakes stay free
Correct answer: C. Your first two Class D written tests are free at a Minnesota DVS exam station, but after two failures each additional test costs $10. The fee rewards preparation. Remember the rhythm: two free tries, then ten dollars.
7. If you are convicted of illegally passing a stopped Minnesota school bus with its red lights flashing, what is the minimum fine?
- A $500
- B $100
- C $50
- D $250
Correct answer: A. Passing a school bus with flashing red lights is a misdemeanor in Minnesota carrying a fine of at least $500 plus loss of driving privileges. Children cross without warning. Link flashing red to five hundred reasons to stop.
8. Unless signs say otherwise, what is the speed limit in a Minnesota alley?
- A 25 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 10 mph
Correct answer: D. Minnesota law sets a 10 mph limit in alleys because pedestrians, opening garage doors, and crossing vehicles appear with almost no warning there. Tight lane, single digit: alleys mean 10 mph in Minnesota.
9. What happens to any driver caught going faster than 100 mph in Minnesota?
- A They receive only a written warning
- B Their driving privileges are revoked for at least six months
- C They pay a small surcharge and keep their license
- D They must simply retake the written test
Correct answer: B. Driving over 100 mph anywhere in Minnesota means your driving privileges are revoked for at least six months, on top of fines. Triple-digit speeds erase reaction time. Remember: break 100, lose six months.
10. Under Minnesota's implied consent law, what can happen if you refuse a blood, breath, or urine test when an officer has probable cause of impaired driving?
- A Nothing on a first traffic stop
- B Only a small administrative fee applies
- C You commit a crime and can lose driving privileges for one to six years
- D The officer must release you within one hour
Correct answer: C. In Minnesota, refusing a required blood, breath, or urine test is itself a crime, and your license can be revoked for one to six years depending on your record. Refusal is not a loophole; saying no still costs the license.
11. What is the minimum license revocation for a first-offense DWI in Minnesota?
- A 90 days
- B 30 days
- C One year
- D Two weeks
Correct answer: A. A first DWI offense in Minnesota brings a revocation of at least 90 days, and aggravating factors stretch it longer. The state removes impaired drivers quickly because alcohol crashes are so deadly. Anchor it: first DWI, three months gone.
12. A Minnesota school bus stops ahead of you with red lights flashing, but its stop arm never swings out. What must you do?
- A Pass slowly on the left
- B Honk and continue at reduced speed
- C Stop only if you can see children outside
- D Stop at least 20 feet from the bus until the red lights stop flashing
Correct answer: D. In Minnesota, flashing red bus lights require stopping at least 20 feet away even if the stop arm never extends, because children may already be crossing. The lights rule, not the arm: red means 20 feet.
13. When is it safe to pass a working snowplow on a snowy Minnesota road?
- A Only when you can see the entire plow vehicle
- B Whenever its blue lights are turned off
- C As soon as the lane beside it looks open
- D Any time you are inside a marked passing zone
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says never crowd a snowplow and pass only when the whole vehicle is visible, because plows throw sand and ice and create whiteout clouds. Simple rule: if you cannot see all of it, you cannot pass it.
14. A tow truck with flashing lights is stopped on a Minnesota freeway that has two lanes in your direction. What does the Move Over Law require?
- A Come to a complete stop behind the truck
- B Move into the lane farthest from the truck if safe, otherwise slow down
- C Flash your headlights and keep your speed
- D Sound your horn continuously while passing
Correct answer: B. Minnesota's Move Over Law covers tow trucks, ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles: change to the lane farthest away when safe, and slow down when you cannot. Give roadside workers a lane of life.
15. How much clear space must you leave between your parked vehicle and a fire hydrant in Minnesota?
- A At least 3 feet
- B At least 8 feet
- C At least 5 feet
- D At least 10 feet
Correct answer: D. Minnesota bans parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant so crews can connect hoses instantly during a fire. Blocked hydrants cost rescue minutes. Picture a ten-foot hose circle drawn around every hydrant.
16. What official Minnesota handbook heading covers your license?
- A New laws and information MINNESOTA DRIVER’S MANUAL
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The official Minnesota Driver’s Manual says New laws and information MINNESOTA DRIVER’S MANUAL. Testers invent leftover federal test-admin agencies. Driver and Vehicle Services publishes that book.
17. You need to confirm a Minnesota permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) website or official Minnesota 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. Minnesota's DVS publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Minnesota page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Minnesota roads?
- A Minnesota's Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) and Minnesota 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 Minnesota law, explained by the DVS. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Minnesota version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DVS officially call the Minnesota permit written exam?
- A Class D written test
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The DVS names the Minnesota exam the Class D written test. 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 Minnesota driver handbook published?
- A By the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) 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 DVS publishes the Minnesota 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 Minnesota?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Minnesota lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the DVS. 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. What passing score does the DVS publish for the Minnesota Class D written test?
- A 80%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Minnesota Class D written 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%.
23. For a driver 21 or older in Minnesota, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Minnesota 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 Minnesota can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
24. Drivers under 21 in Minnesota are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A any detectable amount
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Minnesota uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: any detectable amount. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Minnesota, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
25. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Minnesota is:
- A 30 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Minnesota'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.
26. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Minnesota?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Minnesota'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 Minnesota is signed at the state maximum.
27. Can you take the official Minnesota Class D written test from home on the internet?
- A No. The DVS gives the Class D written 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 DVS administers the Minnesota Class D written test in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the DVS lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.
28. Which Class D instruction permit fee listing does Minnesota DVS publish?
- A Class D instruction permit (valid for 2 years) $29.50 Class D instruction permit (valid for 2 years), renewal $24.50
- B There is never a fee in Minnesota
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The official DVS fee table lists Class D instruction permit (valid for 2 years) $29.50 and renewal $24.50. Testers invent leftover NHTSA surcharges. Confirm the live DVS fee page the day you go.
29. If you fail the Minnesota Class D written test, which statement matches the DVS's published retake rule?
- A The first two Class D written tests are free at a DVS exam station; after two failed tests, a $10 fee is charged for each additional attempt. Third-party proctors may charge up to $10 per test and limit you to 40 minutes. Road test retakes cost $20 each after the first two tries.
- B You are banned from driving in Minnesota for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The DVS never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. Minnesota's published retake rule is: The first two Class D written tests are free at a DVS exam station; after two failed tests, a $10 fee is charged for each additional attempt. Third-party proctors may charge up to $10 per test and limit you to 40 minutes. Road test retakes cost $20 each after the first two tries. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
30. What does the DVS publish about languages for the Minnesota knowledge test?
- A The written test is offered in English, Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Russian, Vietnamese, Karen, and American Sign Language; audio is available at most locations, and verbal exams with your own interpreter can be requested for other languages.
- B English only in every office, with no exceptions listed
- C Latin and Esperanto only
- D The test is offered as a mime exam with no written language
Correct answer: A. Language options in Minnesota: The written test is offered in English, Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Russian, Vietnamese, Karen, and American Sign Language; audio is available at most locations, and verbal exams with your own interpreter can be requested for other languages. Ask at the office or on the DVS site when you schedule, because not every location stocks every language every day. Bring an interpreter only if the DVS says that is allowed.
31. Minnesota's parent practice log is 50 hours including 15 at night — unless a parent completed an approved class. What happens then?
- A The log drops to 40 hours, still including 15 at night
- B The log is waived entirely
- C Only night hours are waived
- D The teen still needs 50 hours and the night block disappears
Correct answer: A. A parent who finishes the approved class may log 40 hours instead of 50. The 15 night hours do not disappear. Skipping the class keeps the 50/15 rule, and the permit must still be held six months.
32. In the second six months of a Minnesota provisional license, how many non-family passengers under 20 may ride?
- A Three
- B One forever
- C None until 18
- D Any number after midnight
Correct answer: A. The first six months allow one non-family passenger under 20 and restrict midnight-to-5:00 a.m. driving. The passenger cap rises to three in the second six months. It still is a cap, not an open car.
33. How many Class D written tests are free at a Minnesota DVS exam station before a fee applies?
- A The first two are free; each later attempt is $10
- B Every attempt is free
- C The first one is free, then $29.50
- D None; every try is $20
Correct answer: A. The first two Class D written tests are free at a DVS station. After two fails, $10 is charged for each additional attempt. Third-party proctors may charge up to $10 and limit you to 40 minutes. Road-test retakes cost $20 each after the first two tries.
34. How long is a Minnesota Class D instruction permit valid, and what is the listed fee?
- A Two years for $29.50 ($24.50 to renew)
- B 90 days for $10
- C One year for $35
- D Until the 16th birthday only
Correct answer: A. DVS lists $29.50 for a Class D instruction permit valid two years, or $24.50 to renew. Drivers under 18 still need driver education and a six-month hold before the road test.
35. Who may supervise a Minnesota instruction-permit holder?
- A A licensed driver 21 or older
- B Any licensed 18-year-old friend
- C A 16-year-old sibling with a provisional license
- D No supervisor is required after 30 days
Correct answer: A. Minnesota permit holders drive with a licensed driver 21 or older. An 18-year-old classmate does not qualify. The 50-hour log, or 40 with a parent class, still needs 15 night hours.
36. How close to a fire hydrant may you park in Minnesota?
- A No closer than 10 feet
- B No closer than 15 feet, as in most states
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. Minnesota’s parking list is 10 feet from a fire hydrant and 50 feet from the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. Using the more common 15-foot hydrant number will miss the Minnesota item.
37. A Minnesota signal shows a red arrow. What must you do?
- A Come to a complete stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or before the intersection
- B Turn after a pause if the way is clear
- C Treat it like a green arrow
- D Follow the next lane’s circular green
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says a red arrow means “stop.” You must come to a complete stop at the stop line, before the crosswalk, or before entering the intersection, and wait until the arrow changes. It is not a yield-and-turn.
38. Flashing red lights on a Minnesota school bus mean the bus is doing what?
- A Loading or unloading students; other drivers must treat that as a stop warning
- B About to leave, so you may pass
- C Broken taillights
- D A funeral escort
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says flashing red lights on a school bus warn that the bus is loading or unloading students. When you see those lights, stop for the bus on an undivided road. Do not treat red flashers as a “about to move” signal.
39. How far from the nearest rail must you stay when parking near a Minnesota railroad crossing?
- A At least 50 feet
- B 10 feet, same as a hydrant
- C 20 feet
- D You may park on unused rails
Correct answer: A. Minnesota forbids parking within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. That is five times the 10-foot hydrant distance. Testers love pairing the two numbers on the same page.
40. A Minnesota funeral procession identifies itself with headlights or hazard lights. What must you do?
- A Yield to the entire procession
- B Cut through if your light is green
- C Join the line
- D Honk to break a gap
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says when a funeral procession identifies itself with headlights or hazard warning lights, you must yield to the entire procession. Driving between those vehicles is how processions get broken up and how intersection crashes start.
41. A Minnesota school bus is stopped with red lights flashing. How far away must you stop, and does the stop arm have to be out?
- A At least 20 feet from the bus, even if the stop arm does not swing out; opposite-direction traffic on a divided highway is the exception
- B A car length, and only if the arm is out
- C 50 feet only on interstates
- D You may pass if children look seated
Correct answer: A. Minnesota requires you to stop at least 20 feet from a school bus with flashing red lights. You must stop even if the stop arm does not swing out. The only exception is a divided highway when you are traveling in the opposite direction. Failure can mean a license suspension and fines.
42. How far before a Minnesota turn must you signal?
- A At least 100 feet before turning, and keep signaling until the turn or lane change is done
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the turn
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. Minnesota tells drivers to activate the signal at least 100 feet before turning and to keep signaling until the turn or lane change is completed. During daylight you may add hand-and-arm signals; do not rely on hand signals at night or when the vehicle blocks the view of your arm.
43. An emergency vehicle with flashing red lights and a siren approaches on a Minnesota two-way road. What must you do?
- A Pull to the right and stop; on a one-way road, pull to the nearest side and stop. If you are in an intersection, go through it first
- B Speed up to stay ahead
- C Stop in the intersection
- D Follow the vehicle to clear a path
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says when an emergency vehicle with flashing red lights and a siren or bell approaches on a two-way road, pull to the right and stop. On a one-way road, pull to the nearest side and stop. If you are already in an intersection, proceed through it before you pull over.
44. Your Minnesota light is green, but you cannot move through the intersection immediately and completely. What should you do?
- A Stay out; that “gridlock” rule applies even on green
- B Nose in and wait on the tracks or crosswalk
- C Honk until the car ahead moves
- D Enter because green always wins
Correct answer: A. Minnesota’s intersection gridlock rule says you should not enter a signal-controlled intersection unless you can move through it immediately, continuously, and completely. A green light does not excuse blocking the box. Wait for room on the far side.
45. A Minnesota traffic officer is signaling you to stop while the light is green. What must you do?
- A Obey the officer; hand signals and the whistle override the lights, signs, and markings
- B Follow only the green light
- C Ask the officer to move
- D Stop only if another car stops first
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says obey the signals an officer gives rather than traffic signals, signs, or pavement markings. Most officers stop traffic with one hand raised, palm toward you, and a long whistle blast. Go only when the officer directs you.
46. How far before a Minnesota school-bus stop do flashing yellow lights usually begin in a 35 mph or slower zone?
- A At least 100 feet before the stop
- B One car length
- C Exactly one mile
- D Only after the door opens
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says bus drivers activate flashing yellow lights at least 100 feet before a stop in a speed zone of 35 mph or less. Those yellows warn that the bus is about to load or unload. Be ready to stop before the reds and stop arm come on.
47. May a Minnesota motorcycle ride or pass between you and the car in the next lane?
- A Yes. Motorcycles may lane-share; you will see this most often at a stoplight
- B No. Lane-sharing is always illegal in Minnesota
- C Only on gravel
- D Only after 10 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says motorcycles may ride or pass between you and the car in the next lane. You will see this most often at a stoplight when traffic is stacked. Leave a gap and do not squeeze the rider. This is the opposite of states that ban lane-sharing.
48. How much room must you keep when passing a Minnesota bicyclist, and may you cross the center in a no-passing zone?
- A Keep at least 3 feet; you may cross the center of the roadway to pass when it is safe, even in a no-passing zone
- B A Minnesota coat of paint; never cross a yellow line
- C One foot if you use the horn
- D No extra space after dark
Correct answer: A. Minnesota requires at least 3 feet between the side of your car and the bicyclist. Make sure the rider is not signaling a left before you pass. You may cross the center of the roadway to pass a bicyclist, even in a no-passing zone, when it is safe. That yellow-line exception is the Minnesota trap testers reuse.
49. You are on a side street at a Minnesota J-turn and want to cross or turn left onto a four-lane divided highway. What is the path?
- A Stop, turn right onto the highway, then use the designated left-turn lane and U-turn at the median opening
- B Wait for a gap in both Minnesota directions and cross all four lanes
- C Cut through the median grass
- D Make a direct left from the side street
Correct answer: A. Minnesota J-turns exist to cut broadside crashes on four-lane divided highways. Drivers on the side street always make a right turn. To cross or go left you stop, turn right, enter the designated left-turn lane that leads to the median opening, and complete a U-turn. You may cross both lanes into that left-turn lane when you first turn right. Testers still wait for a two-way gap. The J-turn designs that crossing out.
50. When is lane splitting legal for a Minnesota motorcycle in moving traffic?
- A On a road with two or more lanes the same way, at no more than 25 mph and no more than 15 mph over the speed of that traffic
- B On any Minnesota two-lane at highway speed
- C Only after traffic has been fully stopped for a minute
- D Never; Minnesota still bans every same-lane pass
Correct answer: A. Minnesota allows lane splitting when two or more lanes go the same way and traffic is moving: the motorcycle may pass in the same lane at no more than 25 mph and no more than 15 mph over the speed of traffic in those lanes. Do not block or try to stop the rider. Testers treat every Minnesota same-lane pass as illegal. Splitting has those two speed caps.
51. When is lane filtering legal for a Minnesota motorcycle?
- A When two or more lanes go the same way, traffic is not moving, and the motorcycle is no more than 15 mph over that traffic
- B Whenever a Minnesota rider wants to skip a light
- C Only on a rural Minnesota two-lane
- D Only if the rider exceeds 40 mph so cars notice
Correct answer: A. Minnesota lane filtering is for stopped traffic — a light or a jam — on a road with two or more lanes the same way. The motorcycle may move through at no more than 15 mph over the speed of that stopped or barely moving traffic. Testers mix filtering up with splitting’s 25 mph cap. Filtering is the stopped-traffic case.
52. You enter a Minnesota diverging-diamond interchange. How do you reach a left-side ramp?
- A Traffic lanes cross over at each end of the Minnesota bridge; veer left instead of making a sharp left across opposing cars
- B Stop in the Minnesota median and wait for a two-way gap
- C Treat it like a Minnesota four-way stop
- D U-turn from the Minnesota right shoulder
Correct answer: A. A Minnesota diverging diamond crosses traffic lanes at each end of the bridge so you do not make a left across opposing traffic. Instead of a sharp left, you veer left for access. Testers stop for imaginary oncoming Minnesota cars in the diamond. Follow the crossover; the left is designed out.
53. May you wear headphones or earphones in both ears while driving in Minnesota?
- A No; Minnesota makes it illegal to wear headphones or earphones in both ears at once to listen to a radio or other sound-producing device
- B Yes, if the Minnesota volume stays low
- C Only on a Minnesota interstate
- D Yes, if you use Minnesota flashers
Correct answer: A. Minnesota lists wearing headphones or earphones in both ears simultaneously to listen to a radio or other sound-producing device among illegal driver behaviors. Testers treat both-ear buds as a courtesy miss. In Minnesota it is a written ban, not a volume suggestion.
54. When you parallel park on a Minnesota street, how close to the curb must the wheels on that side sit?
- A No more than 12 inches from the Minnesota curb
- B Within 18 inches only, a number copied from other Minnesota neighbors
- C Against the Minnesota sidewalk if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Minnesota travel lane stays open
Correct answer: A. Minnesota says the wheels closest to the side of the road should be no more than 12 inches from the curb when you parallel park. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Minnesota curb gap, separate from the 10-foot hydrant buffer.
55. How close to a Minnesota fire-station driveway may you park, including on the opposite side of the street?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet on the opposite Minnesota side when that side is properly signposted
- B Ten feet, the Minnesota hydrant number
- C Against the Minnesota bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Minnesota sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Minnesota Statute 169.34 forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, and within 75 feet of that entrance on the opposite side of the street when that side is properly signposted. Testers reuse the 10-foot Minnesota hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear, separate from the 12-inch curb extra.
56. May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Minnesota curb?
- A No; Minnesota forbids parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb
- B Yes, if Minnesota flashers are on
- C Only at night on a Minnesota interstate
- D Yes, if the Minnesota hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Minnesota Statute 169.34 forbids stopping, 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 Minnesota curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 12-inch curb extra.
57. When may you stop, stand, or park in a Minnesota bicycle lane?
- A Only when posted Minnesota signs permit parking in that bicycle lane
- B Anytime Minnesota flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Minnesota street
- D Anytime the Minnesota hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Minnesota Statute 169.34 forbids stopping, standing, or parking in a bicycle lane except when posted signs permit parking there. Testers treat every Minnesota bike stripe as overflow curb. The lane stays a bike lane unless the sign says otherwise, separate from the 10-foot hydrant and 50-foot rail extras.
58. How close to a Minnesota crosswalk at an intersection may you stop, stand, or park?
- A No closer than 20 feet of that Minnesota crosswalk at an intersection
- B Ten Minnesota feet, the hydrant number reused here
- C Fifty Minnesota feet, the rail number reused here
