2 questions on Nebraska’s own driver fitness rules
These differ from the rules that hold nationally — they are the ones that catch out drivers who studied another state’s handbook.
1. In Nebraska, it is unlawful for a driver under 21 to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of:
- A0.10% or higher
- B0.08% or higher only
- C0.05% or higher
- 0.02% or higher
Answer: 0.02% or higher. The Nebraska Class O Driver’s Manual states it is unlawful to operate with a BAC of .02% or higher if the driver is under 21 (Nebraska’s zero-tolerance rule).

- A0.10% or higher
- BAny measurable amount only
- C0.05% or higher
- 0.08% or higher
Answer: 0.08% or higher. The Nebraska Class O Driver’s Manual states it is unlawful to operate with a BAC of .08% or higher regardless of the driver’s age or vehicle type.

Driver fitness rules that hold in every state
A sample of the national driver fitness bank. All 10 are in the practice run, combined with the Nebraska items above for 12 questions in total.
1. Under state Implied Consent laws, by accepting a driver license you automatically agree to:
- AProvide transportation for emergency personnel
- BCarry full commercial insurance
- CPay all traffic fines immediately
- Submit to a chemical test for alcohol or drugs if lawfully requested
Answer: Submit to a chemical test for alcohol or drugs if lawfully requested. Implied Consent means that by driving on public roads, you have given consent to breath, blood, or urine testing if arrested for suspected DUI.

2. Long stretches of unchanging highway can produce highway hypnosis, which is best countered by:
- AIncreasing your speed
- BDriving with the windows closed
- CFixing your gaze on the centre line
- Shifting your eyes regularly and taking breaks
Answer: Shifting your eyes regularly and taking breaks. A drowsy, trance-like state develops when the eyes stop moving. Keep scanning mirrors and the road ahead, and stop to rest regularly.

3. Night driving is more demanding largely because:
- ATires grip less in darkness
- BRoads are busier after dark
- Reduced visibility and slower glare recovery limit what you can see
- DSigns are removed at night
Answer: Reduced visibility and slower glare recovery limit what you can see. You can only react to what you can see. Reduce speed so your stopping distance stays within the lit area ahead.
