1. How long must you hold a Tennessee learner permit before you can move up to the Intermediate Restricted license?
- A 90 days
- B 120 days
- C 180 days
- D 365 days
Correct answer: C. Tennessee requires a 180-day permit hold before the Intermediate Restricted license, giving new drivers roughly six months of supervised practice. Think 'six months on a permit' — about half a year behind the wheel before you drive with fewer limits.
2. Before getting a Tennessee Intermediate Restricted license, how much certified behind-the-wheel practice must you complete on your learner permit?
- A 30 hours, including 5 at night
- B 50 hours, including 10 at night
- C 60 hours, all in daylight
- D 100 hours, including 20 at night
Correct answer: B. Tennessee requires 50 certified practice hours, 10 of them at night, signed off by a parent, guardian, or driving instructor on the state form. Night driving is riskier for teens, so remember the ratio: fifty total, ten dark.
3. During which hours is a Tennessee Intermediate Restricted license holder generally prohibited from driving?
- A 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- B 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- C Midnight to 7 a.m.
- D 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Correct answer: A. Tennessee bars Intermediate Restricted drivers from the road between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless an exception applies, such as riding with a parent or carrying written permission for work. Late-night crashes spike for teens — remember 'eleven to six.'
4. As a Tennessee Intermediate Restricted driver, how many passengers may you normally carry unless a listed exception applies?
- A Three
- B As many as there are seat belts
- C Two
- D One
Correct answer: D. Tennessee limits Intermediate Restricted drivers to one passenger unless someone aboard is a licensed adult 21 or older, or the riders are siblings headed to school with a parent's letter. Fewer friends in the car means fewer distractions — one and done.
5. With a Tennessee learner permit, you may not drive during which nighttime hours?
- A 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- B 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- C 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- D Midnight to 6 a.m.
Correct answer: B. Tennessee learner permit holders cannot drive between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., a tighter curfew than the intermediate stage's 11 p.m. start. Each GDL step earns one extra hour — permit drivers stop at ten.
6. If you fail the Tennessee driver license knowledge test, how soon can you try again at a Driver Services Center?
- A After a mandatory 1-day waiting period
- B Immediately, the same day
- C After 7 days
- D After 30 days
Correct answer: A. Tennessee imposes a mandatory one-day wait after every failed knowledge test, and the $2 application fee is charged again each attempt. The pause pushes you to restudy the manual — fail today, study tonight, test tomorrow at the earliest.
7. In Tennessee, what fine can you face for illegally passing a stopped school bus with its stop arm extended?
- A $50 to $200
- B $100 to $500
- C $250 to $1,000
- D $1,500 to $2,500
Correct answer: C. Passing a stopped school bus in Tennessee is a Class A misdemeanor carrying a $250 to $1,000 fine. Children cross in front of and behind buses, so stop both directions on undivided roads — quarter grand minimum if you don't.
8. Unless a different limit is posted, what is the speed limit on Tennessee's primary and secondary state and federal highways?
- A 45 mph
- B 50 mph
- C 65 mph
- D 55 mph
Correct answer: D. On Tennessee primary and secondary state and federal highways, the limit is 55 mph unless signs say otherwise. Interstates run faster, but ordinary highways default to double nickels — when no sign is in sight, think fifty-five.
9. Under normal conditions, what is the minimum speed allowed in the right lanes of a Tennessee interstate highway?
- A 35 mph
- B 45 mph
- C 50 mph
- D 40 mph
Correct answer: B. Tennessee sets a 45 mph minimum in interstate right lanes because vehicles crawling far below traffic speed become hazards. If you can't safely maintain at least forty-five, choose another road — interstates punish the slow as well as the speedy.
10. How does Tennessee law treat exceeding the posted school zone speed limit while it is in effect?
- A As a parking-level infraction with no points
- B As a warning on a first offense
- C As reckless driving, with six points added to your record
- D As a simple 1-point speeding ticket
Correct answer: C. Speeding in an active Tennessee school zone is treated as reckless driving and automatically adds six points to your record. Children are unpredictable near schools, so the state escalates the penalty — school zone equals six points, not a slap.
11. Under Tennessee's implied consent law, what will likely happen if you refuse a lawful request for an alcohol or drug test?
- A Your driving privileges are suspended for 12 months
- B You pay a small fee and keep driving
- C You must retake the knowledge test
- D Nothing, refusal is a protected right
Correct answer: A. By driving in Tennessee you have already consented to alcohol and drug testing, so refusing an officer's lawful request typically costs your license for twelve months. Remember: the keys came with consent — refuse the test, lose a year.
12. If you are under 21 and convicted of underage driving while impaired in Tennessee, what penalties apply?
- A A $50 fine only
- B A written warning for a first offense
- C A 30-day license freeze
- D One-year license loss and a $250 fine
Correct answer: D. Tennessee's underage driving while impaired offense costs drivers under 21 their license for one year plus a $250 fine, sometimes with public service work. One drink can equal one year — the math never favors drinking before driving.
13. Can you be convicted of DUI in Tennessee even when your blood alcohol concentration is below the legal limit?
- A No, the number alone decides the case
- B Yes, if drugs or alcohol have impaired your driving
- C Only if you are under 18
- D Only in a work zone
Correct answer: B. Tennessee can convict impaired drivers regardless of BAC — even a 0.00 reading — when drugs, including prescriptions, affect driving. Officers act on erratic driving they observe, so impairment itself is the offense; the number is only one kind of proof.
14. On a multi-lane Tennessee road, what does the Move Over Law require when you approach a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights?
- A Stop completely beside the vehicle
- B Flash your headlights and continue
- C Move into a non-adjacent lane, or slow to a cautious, safe speed
- D Sound your horn as you pass
Correct answer: C. Tennessee's Move Over Law says shift into a lane away from stopped emergency, utility, or highway maintenance vehicles with flashing lights, or slow down cautiously if you cannot. Roadside workers stand feet from traffic — give a lane or give up speed.
15. What does Tennessee's Hands Free law (Public Chapter 412) prohibit while you drive?
- A Holding a cellphone with any part of your body
- B Talking through a built-in hands-free system
- C Using GPS navigation mounted on the dash
- D Listening to the radio
Correct answer: A. Since 2019, Tennessee's Hands Free law bans holding a phone, texting, reaching for a device, and watching or recording video while driving. Distraction is the danger, not the conversation — if it's in your hand, it's against the law.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Tennessee?
- A Department of Safety & Homeland Security (TDOSHS)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Tennessee, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Department of Safety & Homeland Security (TDOSHS). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Tennessee permit. When in doubt, start at the TDOSHS site.
17. You need to confirm a Tennessee permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Department of Safety & Homeland Security (TDOSHS) website or official Tennessee 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. Tennessee's TDOSHS publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Tennessee page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Tennessee roads?
- A Tennessee's Department of Safety & Homeland Security (TDOSHS) and Tennessee 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 Tennessee law, explained by the TDOSHS. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Tennessee version, not a generic US version.
19. What official notice opens the Tennessee driver license publication?
- A IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION The information in this manual is not copyrighted
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Tennessee Driver License Manual opens IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION The information in this manual is not copyrighted. Testers invent leftover federal exam names.
20. Where is the official Tennessee driver handbook published?
- A By the Department of Safety & Homeland Security (TDOSHS) 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 TDOSHS publishes the Tennessee 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 Tennessee?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Tennessee lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the TDOSHS. 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 Tennessee Driver License Knowledge Test?
- A 30
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The TDOSHS publishes a 30-question Driver License Knowledge Test in Tennessee. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 30. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Tennessee Driver License Knowledge Test?
- A 24
- B 1
- C 30
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Tennessee requires 24 correct out of 30 on the Driver License Knowledge Test. That is the TDOSHS'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 TDOSHS publish for the Tennessee Driver License Knowledge Test?
- A 80%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Tennessee Driver License 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 Tennessee, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Tennessee 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 Tennessee can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Tennessee are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Tennessee 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 Tennessee, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Tennessee?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Tennessee'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 Tennessee is signed at the state maximum.
28. Does the TDOSHS offer any online option for the Tennessee Driver License Knowledge 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. Tennessee does offer an online knowledge-test path for some applicants. Eligibility, ID rules, and camera rules change, so confirm them on the TDOSHS site before you plan around it. An online test still means no handbook in your lap.
29. Which fee listing matches what the TDOSHS currently publishes for a Tennessee permit or license application?
- A Class PD learner permit: $10.50 total for applicants under 18 ($8.50 license plus $2 application fee) or $5.50 total for 18 and over; county clerk locations add a $4 administrative fee. The $2 application fee is charged again for each retest after a failure.
- B There is never a fee in Tennessee
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The TDOSHS lists this Tennessee amount: Class PD learner permit: $10.50 total for applicants under 18 ($8.50 license plus $2 application fee) or $5.50 total for 18 and over; county clerk locations add a $4 administrative fee. The $2 application fee is charged again for each retest after a failure.. 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 Tennessee Driver License Knowledge Test, which statement matches the TDOSHS's published retake rule?
- A A mandatory 1-day waiting period applies after failing any driver license knowledge test, including second and later attempts, and no test may be repeated the same day; the $2 application fee is paid again at each retake. Teens testing online get a maximum of two online attempts with a 24-hour wait after a failure.
- B You are banned from driving in Tennessee for life
- C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
- D The TDOSHS never allows a second try
Correct answer: A. Tennessee's published retake rule is: A mandatory 1-day waiting period applies after failing any driver license knowledge test, including second and later attempts, and no test may be repeated the same day; the $2 application fee is paid again at each retake. Teens testing online get a maximum of two online attempts with a 24-hour wait after a failure. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.
31. How long must a Tennessee learner permit be held, and what practice log is certified, before the Intermediate Restricted license at 16?
- A 180 days and 50 hours including 10 at night
- B 90 days and 30 hours
- C One year and 40 hours
- D 50 hours with no minimum hold
Correct answer: A. Tennessee's GDL starts with a learner permit at 15 that must be held 180 days, with 50 hours (10 at night) certified on the state form before moving up. The Intermediate Restricted license at 16 bars driving between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and allows only one passenger, with limited exceptions.
32. After one clean year, at what age can a Tennessee driver move to an Intermediate Unrestricted license?
- A 17
- B 16
- C 18 only
- D 15½
Correct answer: A. After one clean year, drivers age 17 can move to an Intermediate Unrestricted license. The Restricted step at 16 still has the 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. bar and the one-passenger cap.
33. After any failed Tennessee driver-license knowledge test, when may you try again, and what fee is paid?
- A After a mandatory 1-day wait; the $2 application fee is paid again at each retake
- B Immediately the same morning for free
- C After 7 days and $40
- D After 30 days
Correct answer: A. A mandatory 1-day waiting period applies after failing any knowledge test, including second and later attempts, and no test may be repeated the same day. The $2 application fee is paid again at each retake. Teens testing online get a maximum of two online attempts with a 24-hour wait after a failure.
34. How many online Tennessee knowledge-test attempts do teens get, and what wait follows a failure?
- A Two online attempts with a 24-hour wait after a failure
- B Unlimited online the same day
- C Five online tries
- D Online testing is banned
Correct answer: A. Teens testing online get a maximum of two online attempts with a 24-hour wait after a failure. In-person fails also wait one day and repay the $2 application fee. Do not mix the two-attempt online cap with unlimited counter visits.
35. Which Tennessee no-parking distances does the driver license manual list?
- A 15 feet from a hydrant, 20 feet from a crosswalk, and 50 feet from a railroad crossing
- B 6 feet for every item
- C 50 feet for every item
- D No listed distances
Correct answer: A. Tennessee forbids parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk or in the marked crosswalk area, and within 50 feet of a railroad crossing. Fifteen, twenty, and fifty are the three numbers testers swap.
36. How far before a Tennessee turn or lane change must you signal?
- A At least 50 feet
- B At least 100 feet
- C A car length
- D Only after you start the move
Correct answer: A. Tennessee’s turning chapter requires the turn signal at least 50 feet before the turn or lane change. That is shorter than the 100-foot rule used in many other states, so testers use it as a trap. Fifty feet is the Tennessee number.
37. Your Tennessee windshield wipers are in constant use because of rain, mist, or snow. What does state law require?
- A Turn on your headlights; using headlights when wipers are in use is Tennessee law
- B Parking lights are enough
- C Wait until after sunset
- D Hazard flashers only
Correct answer: A. Tennessee requires headlights when rain, mist, snow, or other precipitation requires constant use of windshield wipers, and from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise. The manual says headlights with wipers is not just a precaution—it is the law.
38. A properly identified Tennessee funeral procession is on a two-lane road. What must other drivers avoid?
- A Passing the procession, or driving between the vehicles unless directed by a police officer
- B Yielding at all
- C Turning on headlights
- D Slowing down
Correct answer: A. Tennessee says vehicles following a funeral procession on a two-lane roadway may not attempt to pass it, and no operator may drive between vehicles in a properly identified procession except when directed by a police officer. Common courtesy also has oncoming traffic pull to the side as a sign of respect.
39. A blind pedestrian carrying a white, metallic, or red-tipped cane or using a guide dog is in a Tennessee roadway. What must you do?
- A Always yield
- B Tap the horn and squeeze past
- C Keep your speed if your light is green
- D Pass within two feet
Correct answer: A. Tennessee tells drivers to always yield to blind pedestrians carrying a white, metallic, or red-tipped white cane or using a guide dog. Do not honk, rev, or rush them even if you think you have the legal right-of-way.
40. A Tennessee school bus has stopped to load or unload students. May you pass on the right?
- A No. It is illegal to pass a stopped loading bus, and you must never pass on the right side of the bus
- B Yes, if the left is blocked
- C Yes, after you tap the horn
- D Only on a four-lane road
Correct answer: A. Tennessee says it is illegal to pass a school bus that has stopped to load or unload students. Never pass on the right side of the bus — that is the door side where children step into the street. On a road that requires both directions to stop, wait until the bus moves and children are clear.
41. Why does Tennessee tell you not to leave high beams on when other traffic is near?
- A The glare blinds oncoming drivers and can reflect blindingly in the rear-view mirror of a vehicle you are following
- B High beams are illegal at all times in Tennessee
- C They drain the battery in one mile
- D They only work on motorcycles
Correct answer: A. Tennessee says high beams make it difficult for oncoming drivers to see, and the glare may reflect blindingly in the rear-view mirror of vehicles you are following. Dim for other traffic. Daytime running lights on some newer cars are not a reason to skip real headlights in weather.
42. You enter a Tennessee roundabout, traffic circle, rotary, or town square. Who has the right-of-way?
- A Traffic already in the roundabout
- B Every entering driver
- C The largest vehicle only
- D Traffic coming from the right
Correct answer: A. Tennessee’s right-of-way list says that when you enter a roundabout, traffic circle, or rotary — also called town squares — you must yield to traffic already in the roundabout. Keep moving with the flow once you are inside. Do not stop in the circulating lane to argue the gap.
43. A Tennessee signal shows a flashing yellow arrow. What may you do?
- A Turn left after yielding to all oncoming traffic
- 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. Tennessee says if you see a flashing yellow arrow you are allowed to turn left after yielding to all oncoming traffic. Traffic signals sit at heavily traveled intersections, so the yield is the whole point of the flash.
44. When a train is coming, how far from Tennessee railroad tracks must you stop?
- A Between 15 and 50 feet from the tracks; never stop on the crossing
- B With your bumper on the nearest rail
- C At least 100 feet in every town
- D Only if gates are down
Correct answer: A. Tennessee says if a train is coming you must stop between 15 and 50 feet from the railroad tracks. Never stop on the crossing. Wait until the train has passed and the way is clear before you move.
45. An emergency vehicle is using a Tennessee road. When may you enter the next intersection?
- A Only if you can get through it without stopping; if you are already in, drive on through and then pull over
- B As soon as your light turns green, even if you will block it
- C Never until the emergency vehicle is parked
- D Only after 10 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Tennessee says do not enter an intersection unless you can get through it without having to stop. If you are already in the intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches, drive through, then pull over. Do not trap the emergency vehicle in the box.
46. After a complete stop on red in Tennessee, when may you turn left?
- A From a one-way street onto a one-way street, unless the intersection is marked “No Turns on Red”
- B From any two-way street onto any two-way street
- C Never
- D Only after 10 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Tennessee says you may make a left turn on red when turning from a one-way street onto a one-way street, unless the intersection is marked “No Turns on Red.” Come to a complete stop and yield. Look out the left window before you commit.
47. How much clearance must a Tennessee driver leave when overtaking a bicycle going the same way?
- A A safe distance that is never less than three feet
- B A Tennessee mirror’s width
- C One foot if you slow to 20 mph
- D No extra space on a two-lane road
Correct answer: A. Tennessee law says a motor vehicle overtaking a bicycle going the same way on the roadway shall leave a safe distance, but in no case less than three feet. Testers invent a “share the lane and tap the horn” exception. Three feet is the Tennessee minimum, not a suggestion.
48. What following-distance method does the Tennessee handbook teach, and at which speeds does it apply?
- A The two-second rule, at any speed, plus more space in poor or hazardous conditions
- B One Tennessee car length only under 30 mph
- C A flat four seconds in town
- D No gap is required on an interstate
Correct answer: A. Tennessee’s Two Second Rule is the handbook’s normal-condition following gap, and it holds at any speed. Pick a fixed object, start counting when the vehicle ahead passes it, and do not reach that object before you finish two seconds. Increase the gap in poor or hazardous conditions. Testers treat the two-second count as a low-speed-only Tennessee trick. The manual applies it at any speed.
49. A Tennessee church bus has its red stop-warning lights flashing while it loads or unloads. What must other drivers do?
- A Meet or overtake it the same way you would a Tennessee school bus: stop while those lights flash
- B Pass on the right if the Tennessee church bus is on a two-lane
- C Stop only for yellow school buses, never a church bus
- D Slow to 20 mph and keep moving in Tennessee
Correct answer: A. Tennessee’s school-bus stop law names a church bus in the same sentences: any driver meeting a school or church bus with flashing red stop-warning lights must stop, and a driver approaching from the rear must not pass while those lights flash. Testers treat church buses as ordinary coaches. In Tennessee the flashing red stop warning gets the same stop.
50. During Tennessee weekday rush hours, who may use an HOV lane, and what fine does the handbook list?
- A Vehicles with two or more people (a baby counts), buses, motorcycles, and emergency vehicles; a violation can be a $50 Tennessee fine plus court costs
- B Any Tennessee solo driver if the diamond is faded
- C Only Tennessee buses; a motorcycle is banned
- D A Tennessee first offense is only a warning
Correct answer: A. Tennessee HOV lanes during high inbound hours (7–9 a.m.) and high outbound hours (4–6 p.m.) are for vehicles with two or more persons — a baby in a car seat counts — plus buses with two or more occupants, motorcycles with one person, and emergency vehicles. Solo drivers, including those passing in the diamond, are out. On weekends and off-peak weekdays the lane is a general-purpose lane. A violation can be a $50 fine plus court costs. Testers put a solo Tennessee car in the lane at 5 p.m. Two-plus, a motorcycle, or wait until the window ends.
51. After a complete stop at a Tennessee red light, when may you turn left?
- A From a one-way street onto another one-way street where traffic moves the same way you would turn, unless a sign bans it
- B From a Tennessee one-way onto a two-way street
- C Never; Tennessee allows only a right on red
- D From any Tennessee two-way street after a yield
Correct answer: A. Tennessee allows a left on red at certain one-way-to-one-way intersections unless a sign says no turns on red. The traffic you join must already be moving in the direction of your left turn. Come to a complete stop and yield the same way you would for a right on red. A left from a one-way onto a two-way is called out as not allowed on red. Testers invent a Tennessee ban on every left on red, or they try the two-way landing. One-way onto one-way is the exception.
52. If you stop at a Tennessee curb to park, how close should you finish?
- A Within 18 inches of the Tennessee curb
- B Within 12 inches only, a number copied from other states
- C Flush against a Tennessee hydrant
- D Three Tennessee feet out if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Tennessee tells drivers that if they are stopping at a curb, they should move to within 18 inches of the curb for proper parking. Testers copy a 12-inch number from other states. Eighteen inches is the Tennessee curb gap.
53. How close to a Tennessee 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 Tennessee street
- B Fifteen feet, the Tennessee hydrant number
- C Against the Tennessee bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Tennessee sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Tennessee forbids parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway on the same side of the street, or on the other side within 75 feet of that driveway. Testers reuse the 15-foot hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear, separate from the 15 / 20 / 50 parking set.
54. A train approaching a Tennessee crossing is giving an audible warning. How far away may that train still be when you must already treat it as an immediate hazard?
- A Within approximately 1,500 feet of the Tennessee crossing
- B Within 500 feet only, a number copied from other Tennessee neighbors
- C Within 200 feet if Tennessee flashers are on
- D Only after the Tennessee locomotive reaches the pavement
Correct answer: A. Tennessee Code 55-8-145 requires a stop when a railroad train or other on-track equipment approaching within approximately 1,500 feet of the highway crossing emits a signal audible from that distance and is an immediate hazard because of its speed or nearness. Testers invent a 500-foot Tennessee whistle. Fifteen hundred feet is the Tennessee audible-train distance, separate from the 15-to-50-foot rail stop.
55. You park beside a Tennessee roadway outside city limits. How much open road and sight must remain?
- A Leave at least 18 feet of Tennessee road width for other traffic, and keep the vehicle visible for at least 200 feet in either direction
- B A Tennessee mirror’s width if flashers are on
- C Ten remaining Tennessee feet, copied from a Maine rule
- D Any Tennessee shoulder if the hood is up
Correct answer: A. Tennessee’s driver license manual says that when you park beside a roadway outside city limits, all four wheels should be off the pavement if possible, at least 18 feet of road width must remain for other traffic, and the vehicle must be visible for at least 200 feet in either direction. Testers invent a 10-foot Tennessee remaining-width copied from other states. Eighteen feet plus 200 feet of sight is the Tennessee rural pair, separate from the 18-inch curb extra.
56. You enter a Tennessee two-way left-turn or shared center turn lane. How far may you travel in that lane?
- A No farther than 300 Tennessee feet, and the lane is for left turns rather than passing
- B The full Tennessee block if flashers are on
- C Five hundred Tennessee feet, copied from a Missouri rule
- D Only after a Tennessee officer waves
