Correct answer: C - The livestock owner is not liable for damages to your vehicle, but you may be liable for the animal if found negligent

On open range land - which covers almost all areas outside city limits and herd districts - livestock have the legal right-of-way on highways and roads. If you strike and injure or kill livestock or domestic animals on the open range or under controlled movement, the owner of the animal is not liable for damages to you or your vehicle. You may, however, be held liable for the injuries or death of the animal if you are found to have been negligent.

Correct answer: C - Up to 15 mph over the posted limit

Drivers of passenger vehicles, motorcycles, or pickups (not towing) may go up to 15 mph over the posted speed limit while passing a slower vehicle on a two-lane road. There are conditions, though. The vehicle being passed must be traveling below the limit, and the posted speed must be 55 mph or greater. This exception does not apply in work zones. You must return to the right lane and drop back to the speed limit as soon as possible.

Correct answer: B - October 1 through April 30

Studded snow tires may be used only from October 1 through April 30. Some years, the Idaho Transportation Department adjusts the dates due to weather conditions. Outside this window, driving with studded tires is not allowed.

Correct answer: C - Change lanes away from the stopped vehicle if safe to do so

You are required to move over. On multi-lane roads, change into a lane that is not adjacent to the stopped emergency or incident response vehicle, as soon as you can do so safely. If a lane change is not possible, reduce your speed below the posted limit and proceed with caution. The law covers police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, tow trucks, and incident response vehicles.

Correct answer: B - Bicyclists may treat a stop sign as a yield sign - slowing down, yielding to traffic, then proceeding

This rule is sometimes called the "Idaho Stop." Bicyclists do not need to come to a complete stop at stop signs. They must yield the right-of-way to vehicles already in or close enough to the intersection to pose a hazard, then proceed with caution. Similarly, bicyclists may treat red lights as stop signs - stopping first, yielding, and then going through if it is safe. Few other states have adopted this approach.

Correct answer: B - 50 hours total, with 10 at night

The GDL program requires a minimum of 50 hours behind the wheel with a supervising driver, and at least 10 of those hours must be completed at night. During the entire six-month supervised instruction period, a licensed driver aged 21 or older must occupy the front passenger seat. No other passengers are allowed in the front seat during this time.

Correct answer: B - When it is delaying three or more vehicles in a rural area or on a two-lane highway

Any vehicle moving slower than the normal flow of traffic that is holding up three or more vehicles in a rural area or on a two-lane highway must turn off the road at the nearest safe place to let those vehicles pass. Slow-moving vehicles designed for speeds under 25 mph are also restricted to daylight hours only (30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset), except for snow removal and farm equipment on non-interstate highways.
