Right-of-way rules that get tested every time

- Uncontrolled intersection: car on the right goes first. - Left turn: yield to oncoming traffic. - Pedestrians in crosswalk: always have the right of way. - Emergency vehicles with lights/siren: pull right and stop. - 4-way stop: first to arrive goes first; if tied, car on right wins. - School bus with red flashing lights: stop in both directions on undivided roads.

Nebraska key rules to memorize

- Road signs and traffic signals - Right-of-way rules - Speed limits and safe following distance - Winter and severe-weather driving - Alcohol, drugs and Nebraska point/implied-consent laws

DUI and zero-tolerance — easy points

- Adult limit (21+): 0.08% BAC. - Commercial drivers: 0.04% BAC. - Under 21: zero tolerance (0.01–0.02% BAC). - Refusing breathalyzer = automatic license suspension ("implied consent"). - First DUI in Nebraska: suspension, fines, mandatory classes, possible ignition interlock.

Stopping distances (rule of thumb)

Total stopping distance = perception + reaction + braking. At 55 mph in dry conditions: ~250–300 feet. Wet roads roughly double that. Follow the 3-second rule for following distance; 4–5 seconds in bad weather.
