1. To pass New York's 20-question permit test, you must correctly answer at least:
- A 10 questions, with no road-sign requirement
- B 12 questions, including all 4 road-sign questions
- C 14 questions, including at least 2 of the 4 road-sign questions
- D 18 questions, including 3 road-sign questions
Correct answer: C. New York requires 14 correct answers out of 20 — that's 70 percent — including at least 2 of the 4 road-sign questions. Signs get their own hurdle because recognizing them instantly keeps you safe. Remember: 14 to pass, 2 signs minimum.
2. You hold a New York junior learner permit and want to practice in New York City. Besides driving only between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. with a parent, guardian, or instructor, the vehicle must:
- A Display a rooftop student-driver sign
- B Have dual controls, including a second brake
- C Be registered in one of the five boroughs
- D Carry no passengers at all, including your supervisor
Correct answer: B. New York City lets junior permit holders practice only from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., supervised, in a vehicle with dual controls (a second brake). Dense city traffic demands an instant backup stop. Hook: in NYC, two pedals for two people.
3. Driving with a junior license in New York, how many passengers under age 21 who are not immediate family may you carry?
- A One
- B Two
- C Three
- D As many as there are seat belts
Correct answer: A. New York's Graduated License Law caps junior drivers at one passenger under 21 unless the riders are immediate family or a qualifying supervisor is present. Young passengers multiply distraction and crash risk. Memory hook: junior driver, one young friend.
4. Before taking the road test in New York, a driver under 18 must have a parent or guardian certify supervised practice driving of at least:
- A 20 hours, all in daylight
- B 30 hours, including 5 at night
- C 40 hours, including 10 at night
- D 50 hours, including 15 hours after sunset
Correct answer: D. New York requires drivers under 18 to log 50 supervised practice hours, at least 15 after sunset, certified on form MV-262 before the road test. Night driving is riskier, so it gets guaranteed practice time. Think: 50 total, 15 dark.
5. How long must you hold a junior learner permit in valid status for a minimum of six months in New York before the road test?
- A 3 months
- B valid status for a minimum of six months in order to take the road test
- C 9 months
- D 12 months
Correct answer: B. The official New York Driver's Manual says you need valid status for a minimum of six months in order to take the road test. Testers invent leftover 6-digit shortcuts. Half a year in valid status is the official wait, separate from the 50-hour practice extra.
6. A New York driver with a junior license is convicted of texting while driving for the first time. What happens to the license?
- A A $50 fine only, with no license action
- B A warning letter from the DMV
- C A 120-day suspension
- D A two-week suspension plus a defensive driving course
Correct answer: C. For New York junior permit and license holders, a first texting or handheld-phone conviction brings a 120-day suspension; a second within six months of restoration means at least a one-year revocation. Hook: text once, park four months.
7. You are ticketed for speeding in a New York highway work zone where no workers are visible. What happens to the fine?
- A It is reduced because no workers were present
- B It stays the same as a normal speeding fine
- C It converts to a no-point parking-style fine
- D It is doubled, even with no workers or work vehicles there
Correct answer: D. New York doubles speeding fines in work zones even when no workers or work vehicles are present. The zone itself — narrowed lanes, shifted traffic — stays hazardous around the clock. Memory hook: orange signs mean double fines, occupied or not.
8. Roundabouts in New York are designed to keep vehicles moving at what maximum speed?
- A 45 mph or less
- B 30 mph or less
- C 15 mph or less
- D 5 mph or less
Correct answer: B. New York builds roundabouts so traffic circulates at 30 mph or less. Slow, one-way circular flow replaces high-speed, right-angle collisions with gentle merges. Picture the circle as a 30-mph zone: ease in, yield left, roll through.
9. You are on a rural New York road with no speed limit signs posted. What is the fastest you may legally drive?
- A 45 mph
- B 50 mph
- C 55 mph
- D 65 mph
Correct answer: C. Where no limit is posted, New York's statewide maximum is 55 mph. Posted limits replace it — New York City defaults to 25 mph — and conditions can demand less. Hook: see no sign, think double nickels, 55.
10. Under New York's Leandra's Law, driving while intoxicated with a child under 16 in your vehicle can be charged as:
- A A felony, punishable by up to four years in prison
- B A traffic infraction with a $150 fine
- C A misdemeanor, but only if a crash occurs
- D A parking-level violation handled by mail
Correct answer: A. Leandra's Law lets New York charge DWI with a passenger under 16 as a class E felony carrying up to four years in prison. Endangering a child strips away the misdemeanor cushion. Hook: a kid in the car turns DWI into a felony.
11. A 19-year-old New York driver is found through a DMV hearing to have driven with a 0.03% BAC. Under the Zero Tolerance Law, a first offense brings:
- A A criminal DWI conviction and jail time
- B Only a written warning
- C A 30-day permit hold and no fees
- D A six-month license suspension plus civil penalties
Correct answer: D. New York's Zero Tolerance Law suspends drivers under 21 for six months when a DMV hearing finds a BAC of 0.02 to 0.07, plus a $125 civil penalty and a $100 fee. Hook: one underage drink can park you for half a year.
12. You refuse a chemical BAC test after a New York DWI stop, and a DMV hearing confirms the refusal. Later a court finds you not guilty of DWI. Your license:
- A Is returned because you were acquitted
- B Is still revoked — refusal penalties stand even after acquittal
- C Gets only a 30-day suspension
- D Receives six points but stays valid
Correct answer: B. Under New York's implied consent law, refusing a chemical test triggers revocation through the DMV — separate from the criminal case — so acquittal does not undo it. Driving means you pre-agreed to testing. Hook: the refusal penalty survives a not-guilty verdict.
13. A school bus stops with red lights flashing on the other side of a divided New York highway. You must:
- A Stop — New York requires it in both directions, even on divided highways
- B Slow to 20 mph and pass with care
- C Continue, because a median separates you
- D Stop only if children are visible crossing
Correct answer: A. New York requires traffic in both directions to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights, even across a divided highway; first-offense fines start at $250. Children dart unpredictably from every angle. Hook: red flash, all lanes stop, statewide.
14. Under New York's Move Over Law, you approach a police car stopped on the shoulder of a multi-lane expressway with lights flashing. You must:
- A Stop behind the police car until waved on
- B Sound your horn and keep your lane and speed
- C Speed up to clear the area quickly
- D Slow down and, if you safely can, move over one lane away from it
Correct answer: D. New York's Move Over Law requires slowing down for stopped emergency and hazard vehicles and, on multi-lane roads, leaving the adjacent lane when safe — it now covers ordinary vehicles stopped on controlled-access shoulders too. Hook: flashing lights or stopped car, give a lane.
15. You stop at a steady red light in New York City and want to turn right. No sign mentions turns. You may:
- A Turn right after a full stop, as anywhere in New York State
- B Turn right if no pedestrians are near
- C Not turn — right on red is illegal in New York City unless a sign allows it
- D Turn right only between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Correct answer: C. New York City bans turns on red unless a sign permits them; elsewhere in New York State you may turn right on red after a complete stop and yield. Dense pedestrian crossings drive the ban. Hook: five boroughs, red means wait.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in New York?
- A Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In New York, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a New York permit. When in doubt, start at the DMV site.
17. You need to confirm a New York permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official New York 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. New York's DMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official New York page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on New York roads?
- A New York's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and New York 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 New York law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the New York version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the DMV officially call the New York permit written exam?
- A permit test
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The DMV names the New York exam the permit 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 New York driver handbook published?
- A By the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) 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 DMV publishes the New York 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 New York?
- A 16
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. New York lets you apply for a learner's permit at 16, according to the DMV. 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 New York permit test?
- A 20
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The DMV publishes a 20-question permit test in New York. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 20. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the New York permit test?
- A 14
- B 1
- C 20
- D 2
Correct answer: A. New York requires 14 correct out of 20 on the permit test. That is the DMV's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. How many written-test questions must you get right to pass in New York?
- A To pass the written test, you must correctly answer at least 14 of the 20 questions asked, but you must correctly answer two of the four questions about road signs.
- B 1 of 20
- C 20 of 20
- D 2 of 20 with no road-sign minimum
Correct answer: A. Official NY DMV Chapter 1 says To pass the written test, you must correctly answer at least 14 of the 20 questions asked, but you must correctly answer two of the four questions about road signs. Testers invent leftover 99% bars.
25. For a driver 21 or older in New York, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. New York 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 New York can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in New York are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. New York 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 New York, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in New York?
- A 65 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. New York's highest posted highway limit is 65 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in New York is signed at the state maximum.
28. Does the DMV offer any online option for the New York permit test?
- A Yes, in some cases — check eligibility on the official site
- B No, never, for any applicant
- C Only through a social-media quiz
- D Only if you already hold a CDL
Correct answer: A. New York does offer an online knowledge-test path for some applicants. Eligibility, ID rules, and camera rules change, so confirm them on the DMV site before you plan around it. An online test still means no handbook in your lap.
29. Which fee listing matches what the DMV currently publishes for a New York permit or license application?
- A The first permit and license are paid together: the combined Class D/DJ fee varies by age at application and county, from about $64.25 to $102.50 (covers application, license, and document fees; Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District counties add $1 per six months). Replacing a permit costs $17.50.
- B There is never a fee in New York
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this New York amount: The first permit and license are paid together: the combined Class D/DJ fee varies by age at application and county, from about $64.25 to $102.50 (covers application, license, and document fees; Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District counties add $1 per six months). Replacing a permit costs $17.50.. 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. What does the DMV publish about languages for the New York knowledge test?
- A Class D permit tests are given in 20 languages: English, Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian, Chinese, French, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Urdu, and Yiddish.
- 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 New York: Class D permit tests are given in 20 languages: English, Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian, Chinese, French, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Urdu, and Yiddish. Ask at the office or on the DMV site when you schedule, because not every location stocks every language every day. Bring an interpreter only if the DMV says that is allowed.
31. You are driving in New York City and face a steady red light. When may you turn right?
- A After a full stop, the same as in most other US cities
- B Only if a sign is posted that permits the turn — NYC bans right on red unless a sign allows it
- C Whenever no officer is watching
- D Never, anywhere in New York State
Correct answer: B. New York City flips the usual rule: no turn on red unless a sign says you may. Elsewhere in New York State a right after a full stop is generally allowed if no sign forbids it. Inside the five boroughs, look for a permit sign or wait for green.
32. A New York school bus carrying pupils reaches a red light. May the driver turn right after stopping?
- A Yes, after yielding to pedestrians
- B No. A school bus with pupils aboard may not turn right on red
- C Yes, in New York City only
- D Only on county roads
Correct answer: B. New York bans a right-on-red for a school bus that has pupils on board. The extra restriction protects kids around the bus. If you ever drive a school bus in New York, red means stay until green.
33. In New York, a police officer signals you to go through a red light. What should you do?
- A Stay stopped because a red light always wins
- B Obey the officer; their direction outranks signs and signals
- C Wait for the light to match the officer's wave
- D Call 911 before moving
Correct answer: B. New York law puts traffic officers — including police, flaggers, and school crossing guards — above signs and signals. If an officer waves you through red, you go. If they stop you on green, you stop.
34. Outside New York City, you are on a one-way street in New York and want to turn left on red onto another one-way street. After a full stop, is that allowed?
- A Yes, after you stop and yield, unless a sign or marking forbids the turn
- B No, left on red is never legal in New York
- C Only for trucks
- D Only between midnight and 5 a.m.
Correct answer: A. New York allows a left on red from one one-way street onto another after a complete stop and a yield, except where a sign, signal, or marking bans it — and except that New York City still needs a posted permit. One-way to one-way is the left-on-red exception.
35. On the New York knowledge test, what color and role do destination (guide) signs usually have?
- A Yellow diamonds that warn of hazards
- B Green rectangles with white letters showing where a road leads
- C Orange diamonds that mark work zones
- D Brown octagons that require a stop
Correct answer: B. New York's manual groups signs by color: destination signs are green with white copy, warning signs are yellow diamonds, work-area signs are orange, and service signs are blue. Green tells you where you are going, not what you must stop for.
36. Work-area signs in New York are which color, and how slow might the posted work-zone limit be?
- A Blue; the limit is never below 55 mph
- B Orange, and a work-area speed limit can be posted as low as 25 mph
- C White; work zones have no special limit
- D Brown; they only mark parks
Correct answer: B. New York work-area signs are orange with black symbols. A posted work-zone limit can drop to 25 mph, and you must obey flaggers even if no number is posted. Orange zone, slow zone.
37. A New York traffic signal shows a flashing red light. What does it mean?
- A Proceed with caution without stopping
- B The same as a stop sign: stop, yield, then go when it is safe
- C A protected left turn is in effect
- D The lane is closed
Correct answer: B. In New York a flashing red is a stop sign in light form. Come to a full stop, yield, then proceed when clear. Flashing yellow is caution without a mandatory stop. Flash red, full stop.
38. On a New York road, the white edge line angles in toward the center. What is it telling you?
- A A passing zone is beginning
- B The road is getting narrower ahead
- C You must stop at the next driveway
- D A bicycle lane is ending on the left
Correct answer: B. New York's manual says an edge line that angles toward the center marks a narrower roadway ahead. Move away from the shoulder and expect less room. The paint is a squeeze warning, not a passing invitation.
39. A New York traffic signal shows a red arrow. After a full stop, may you turn?
- A No. A right or left turn on red is not permitted at a red arrow until a green light or green arrow appears
- B Yes, the same as a circular red light
- C Yes, without stopping
- D Only in New York City
Correct answer: A. New York’s manual says do not go in the direction of a red arrow until the red arrow is off and a green light or green arrow goes on. A right or left turn on red is not permitted at a red arrow. That is stricter than a circular red, which can allow a turn after a stop outside New York City.
40. How far before a New York turn or lane change must you signal?
- A At least 100 feet ahead
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the turn
- D 500 feet in every city
Correct answer: A. New York law requires you to signal a turn or lane change with turn lights or hand signals at least 100 feet (30 m) ahead. A good safety habit is to signal before you begin to brake. Keep the wheels straight until you actually start the turn so a rear-end hit does not push you into oncoming traffic.
41. The traffic lights at a New York intersection are out of service. How should you treat it?
- A Come to a stop as you would for a stop sign, then continue by right-of-way rules unless a traffic officer tells you otherwise
- B Treat it as a flashing yellow and roll through
- C The first car to arrive always goes without stopping
- D Only trucks must stop
Correct answer: A. New York state law says if traffic lights or controls are out of service or do not operate correctly, you must come to a stop as you would for a stop sign, then continue according to the rules of right-of-way unless a traffic officer tells you to continue. A dark signal is not a free-for-all.
42. Where is a New York U-turn illegal even if you can see clearly?
- A In a school zone, on a limited-access expressway, and in New York City business districts
- B Only on dirt roads
- C Only after midnight
- D U-turns are legal everywhere in New York
Correct answer: A. New York forbids a U-turn near the top of a hill, a curve, or any place other drivers cannot see your vehicle from 500 feet away. U-turns are also illegal in New York City business districts, where NO U-TURN signs are posted, on limited-access expressways, and in a school zone.
43. You overtake a bicycle from behind on the same side of a New York roadway. What does Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1122-a require?
- A Pass to the left of that New York bicycle at a safe distance until you are safely clear
- B Leave a statewide New York three-foot gap copied from other states
- C Pass on the New York right if the rider hugs the curb
- D One New York foot if you sound the horn
Correct answer: A. VTL 1122-a requires a New York driver overtaking a bicycle from behind on the same side of a roadway to pass to the left at a safe distance until safely clear. Testers invent a statewide three-foot New York number copied from other states or from a bill that has not become law. The current statewide statute is still safe distance, not a fixed foot-count.
44. A car ahead of you is stopped at a New York marked crosswalk, or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, to let a pedestrian cross. May you pass it?
- A No; a driver approaching from the rear must not overtake and pass that stopped vehicle
- B Yes, if the next New York lane is empty
- C Yes, after you tap the horn
- D Only outside New York City
Correct answer: A. New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1151(c) says that when any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to let a pedestrian cross, a driver coming from the rear shall not overtake and pass that stopped vehicle. The stopped car hides the person in the street. In New York this is a no-pass rule, not a suggestion.
45. How close to a fire hydrant may you stop, stand, or park in New York?
- A No closer than 15 feet, unless a licensed driver stays in the vehicle ready to move it in an emergency
- B No closer than 10 feet on a New York side street
- C Against the hydrant if the curb is unpainted
- D On the hydrant if you use flashers
Correct answer: A. The New York Driver’s Manual and VTL 1202 forbid stopping, standing, or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant unless a licensed driver remains in the vehicle and can move it immediately in an emergency. Testers invent a 10-foot New York number. Fifteen feet is the statewide hydrant buffer, even when the curb paint is faded.
46. What following-distance method does the New York Driver’s Manual call a good space cushion in normal conditions?
- A The two-second rule, increased to at least three or four seconds in bad weather or behind a large truck
- B One New York car length at any speed
- C Half a second on dry pavement
- D No gap is required outside New York City
Correct answer: A. New York’s two-second rule is the handbook’s normal-condition space cushion. Pick a sign, tree, or overpass, start counting when the vehicle ahead passes it, and finish “one thousand one, one thousand two” before you reach it. In bad weather or behind a large truck, increase the count to at least three or four seconds. Testers sell a one-second New York habit. Count two, then add more.
47. How close to a pedestrian safety area may you park in New York unless another distance is marked?
- A No closer than 30 feet
- B No closer than 10 feet on a New York side street
- C Against the marking if you use flashers
- D On the safety area after dark
Correct answer: A. New York’s no-parking list includes within 30 feet of a pedestrian safety area unless another distance is marked. Testers remember the 15-foot hydrant number and reuse it here. The pedestrian-safety buffer is 30 feet, twice the hydrant figure.
48. May you park on the roadside of a vehicle that is already parked on a New York street?
- A No; that is double parking and it is forbidden
- B Yes, if you stay in a New York travel lane with flashers
- C Yes, for up to five minutes
- D Only outside New York City
Correct answer: A. New York lists parking on the roadside of a parked vehicle — double parking — among the places you cannot park, stop, or stand. Testers treat a short New York double-park as legal if the driver stays inside. The manual does not give that exception. Leave the travel lane clear.
49. Traffic is stopped on the far side of a New York intersection and you want to go straight. A signal would let you proceed. When may you enter?
- A Only if there is adequate space on the opposite side for your New York vehicle; a green light does not let you sit in the box
- B Anytime the New York lens is green
- C After you nose in so the New York sensor holds the cycle
- D Only New York City buses must wait for a gap
Correct answer: A. New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1175 says that when traffic is stopped on the opposite side of an intersection, you may not drive into it — except when making a turn — unless there is adequate space on the far side for your vehicle, even if a signal would permit you to proceed. Testers treat a New York green as a right to gridlock. Going straight into a packed box is the miss; a turn is the statute’s exception.
50. A New York city street has a diamond (HOV or bus) lane separated by a solid white line that becomes broken near an intersection. When may a vehicle that does not meet the occupancy rule enter that lane?
- A Only if you will make a right turn at the next New York intersection
- B Anytime the New York diamond looks faded
- C To pass on the left for one New York block
- D Whenever your New York hazards are on
Correct answer: A. New York’s diamond marking reserves a lane for buses, HOV carpools or vanpools, bicycles, or other special vehicles during the posted times. You may not use it unless you meet the occupancy or other requirement. On city streets, where a broken white line replaces the solid separator, a non-HOV vehicle may enter only to make a right turn at the next intersection. Testers dive into a New York diamond to pass. The broken-line right-turn exception is the item.
51. What duty does New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1146 place on every driver?
- A Exercise due care to avoid colliding with a bicyclist, pedestrian, or domesticated sheep, cattle, or goat under a pedestrian’s control on a New York roadway, and sound the horn when necessary
- B Leave a statewide New York three-foot gap copied from a pending bill
- C Yield only if the New York rider has a green light
- D Honk at every New York pet, including cats
Correct answer: A. VTL 1146 says every New York driver shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any bicyclist, pedestrian, or domestic animal on the roadway and shall sound the horn when necessary. Domestic animal here means domesticated sheep, cattle, and goats under a pedestrian’s control — not every household pet. Testers invent a statewide three-foot number. Due care plus the horn-when-needed rule is the statute.
52. You park on a New York street and want to open the door on the side next to moving traffic. What does Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1214 require?
- A Open that New York door only when it is reasonably safe and will not interfere with other traffic, and leave it open no longer than needed to load or unload passengers
- B Swing the New York door if you checked a mirror last block
- C Leave the New York door open while you search for keys
- D Open both New York doors at once if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. VTL 1214 forbids opening a motor-vehicle door on the side available to moving New York traffic unless and until it is reasonably safe and will not interfere with other traffic. You also may not leave that door open longer than needed to load or unload passengers. Testers pop a New York driver door after a glance. Check, then close it once people are in or out.
53. May you wear earphones in both ears while operating a motor vehicle on a New York public highway?
- A No; New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 375(24-a) forbids more than one earphone attached to a radio, tape player, or other audio device
- B Yes, if the New York volume stays low
- C Only on a New York interstate after 7 p.m.
- D Yes, if you use New York flashers
Correct answer: A. New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 375(24-a) makes it unlawful to operate a motor vehicle, limited-use automobile, limited-use motorcycle, or bicycle on a public highway while wearing more than one earphone attached to a radio, tape player, or other audio device.

The walk stays for people, separate from the intersection extra.
